At a time when happiness eludes many, Jehovah’s Witnesses are inviting the public to attend their annual global convention series with the theme: “Eternal Happiness”.

The Witnesses are some of the largest non-profit convention organisers in the world.

This year, they will return to various cities across Nigeria with a free, three-day programme that explores how everlasting happiness can be achieved through spirituality, founded on practical Bible principles.

Afolabi Odeyemi, local Spokesman for Jehovah’s Witnesses, said: “Who doesn’t want to be happy?

“This year’s convention theme discusses how to be happy and how to remain happy. All in attendance will discover the real joy that comes from a solid hope for the future.”

The timely event will attract a million attendees to various cities in Nigeria in the course of 17 weekends, beginning from May 15-17, 2026.

Across the country, the programme will also be featured in 24 different languages.

These annual conventions draw thousands of delegates to the convention cities, with increased activity in key economic matrixes, such as transportation, hotels, restaurants, tour visits, and others.

Additionally, the same programme will be presented at 19 international conventions around the world throughout the year.

These large-scale events will be hosted in countries, including Portugal, South Africa, and Thailand, and they will welcome thousands of delegates from all over the world.

Along with Bible-based videos and interviews, the “Eternal Happiness” convention will present intriguing discourses with topics, such as: “Abundant Happiness Forever — Is It Realistic?”; “Why Are You Anxious?”; and “Have You Discovered the Treasure?”

The much-anticipated Episodes 4, 5, and 6 of “The Good News According to Jesus” will debut on consecutive days of the convention.

The 18-episode video series is an accurate depiction of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ, and is based solely on the Gospel accounts.

Episode 1 was released during the 2024 Conventions and Episodes 2 and 3, in 2025. The Saturday programme also includes a baptism.

Last year, Jehovah’s Witnesses hosted over 6,000 conventions in nearly 500 languages with the theme: “Pure Worship.”

That included 19 international conventions held in 13 countries, and over 12 million people attended.
