Speaking at a press briefing, he expressed joy at what he termed home coming to the powerful gathering of who is who in Mbaise Europe slated for 24th to 26th of August 2023.He went ahead to recall discussions he had with the Mbaise Europe secretary in the person of Mr. Emmanuel Njoku and Vice President, Chief Wise Ibeji who had expressed their unwavering support for Project NWAFOR Igbo. Okorie pledged to use his wealth in media to support the organisation through his international media contacts and placements.
Mr Okorie also analysed similarities between both projects as he calls them mutually rewarding and strategically timely as the ‘Mbaise Europe also known as “Mbaise Europe” adopted the symbol of “a clenched human fist, as LOGO” to represent the common heritage, brotherhood, unity and the harmonious relationship. With the mission to organize meetings, demonstrations, various activities and to find her people in Europe for mutual aid and humanity. Mbaise Europe is established for the express purpose of fostering a broad social, cultural and economic interest of Mbaise people, such as promoting all activities related to the unity of Igbo, Nigeria mostly of Mbaise citizens.
While Project NWAFOR Igbo on the other hand has adopted a massive Letter N embedded with vector images of Igbo signs and symbols and dramatically wears a native isi Agu cap. Project NWAFOR Igbo’s mission is to mark the visible line of Igbo emancipation and mass business exodus back home. It herades the carrion call to all well wishing Igbos to return home and build their towns, villages and businesses.
MR Okorie is the Global Leader of Project NWAFOR Igbo, we must continue the gospel of the project in order to synergy support that is highly needed and we must revise the entire nation to look towards Igbo lands for their next hub for business activities. Igbo states will be where Nigerians and other African nations desire to do business.
Just as Mbaise Europe propagates and preserves the culture of Mbaise, educating and informing her people about matters that affect or involve them, Project NWAFOR Igbo’s blueprint looks at the entire igbo race holistically. We champion and improve the welfare of our people by bringing in investors into igbo land, by improving our entire security architecture as we go into high profile negotiation and project execution with the government to protect lives and property, by upgrading the environment to look like morden 21st century with look alikes right aesthetics and infrastructures.
Rowland Okorie also reminded Mbaise Europe of their statement on their global website www.mbaiseurope.org where the organisation seeks to sponsor and encourage on an ongoing basis all protocols or activities that enhance the unity, culture, education and empowerment of Mbaise citizens.
Project NWAFOR Igbo is that project that will encompass everything good for Ala-igbo. Recalling the words of the President Mbaise Europe Hon Kingsley Ajunwa Njoku who said the project is most welcomed because from its mission which is to heal and rebuild Ala-igbo and infuse investments to make our land more productive, it has come to compliment any good governance.I support this project and will make sure that with all the resources at our disposal we will make Ala-igbo great again.

Nigeria’s Inflation Drops to 15.10% as NBS Reports Deflationary Trend
Nigeria’s headline inflation rate declined to 15.10 per cent in January 2026, marking a significant drop from 27.61 per cent recorded in January 2025, according to the latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released by the National Bureau of Statistics.
The report also showed that month-on-month inflation recorded a deflationary trend of –2.88 per cent, representing a 3.42 percentage-point decrease compared to December 2025. Analysts say the development signals easing price pressures across key sectors of the economy.
Food inflation stood at 8.89 per cent year-on-year, down from 29.63 per cent in January 2025. On a month-on-month basis, food prices declined by 6.02 per cent, reflecting lower costs in several staple commodities.
The data suggests a sustained downward trajectory in inflation over the past 12 months, pointing to improving macroeconomic stability.
The administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has consistently attributed recent economic adjustments to ongoing fiscal and monetary reforms aimed at stabilising prices, boosting agricultural output, and strengthening domestic supply chains.
Economic analysts note that while the latest figures indicate progress, sustaining the downward trend will depend on continued policy discipline, exchange rate stability, and improvements in food production and distribution.
The January report provides one of the clearest indications yet that inflationary pressures, which surged in early 2025, may be moderating.

GTBank Launches Quick Airtime Loan at 2.95%
Guaranty Trust Bank Ltd (GTBank), the flagship banking franchise of GTCO Plc, Africa’s leading financial services group, today announced the launch of Quick Airtime Loan, an innovative digital solution that gives customers instant access to airtime when they run out of call credit and have limited funds in their bank accounts, ensuring customers can stay connected when it matters most.
In today’s always-on world, running out of airtime is more than a minor inconvenience. It can mean missed opportunities, disrupted plans, and lost connections, often at the very moment when funds are tight, and options are limited. Quick Airtime Loan was created to solve this problem, offering customers instant access to airtime on credit, directly from their bank. With Quick Airtime Loan, eligible GTBank customers can access from ₦100 and up to ₦10,000 by dialing *737*90#. Available across all major mobile networks in Nigeria, the service will soon expand to include data loans, further strengthening its proposition as a reliable on-demand platform.
For years, the airtime credit market has been dominated by Telcos, where charges for this service are at 15%. GTBank is now changing the narrative by offering a customer-centric, bank-led digital alternative priced at 2.95%. Built on transparency, convenience and affordability, Quick Airtime Loan has the potential to broaden access to airtime, deliver meaningful cost savings for millions of Nigerians, and redefine how financial services show up in everyday life, not just in banking moments.
Commenting on the product launch, Miriam Olusanya, Managing Director of Guaranty Trust Bank Ltd, said: “Quick Airtime Loan reflects GTBank’s continued focus on delivering digital solutions that are relevant, accessible, and built around real customer needs. The solution underscores the power of a connected financial ecosystem, combining GTBank’s digital reach and lending expertise with the capabilities of HabariPay to deliver a smooth, end-to-end experience.
