You may ask “Where did Rev. (Mrs). Flora Ejiro Kwakpovwe find the strength and perseverance to place herself completely at the service of others?” She found it in prayer and in the silent contemplation of Jesus Christ, His Holy Face, and in His Sacred Heart. Rev. (Mrs.) Kwakpovwe, an embodiment of success, would only be described as a huge blessing to humanity. She, for a long time, has been approaching her endeavours with much courage and this has established her as a dynamic preacher, evangelist, philanthropist and a humanitarian with a heart to touch the lives of many.
The chronicle of Rev. (Mrs) Flora Kwakpovwe ancestry is very important and outstanding. She is a woman of noble character worthy of emulation. She has a large heart to pursue the good of the ordinary people. A devout vessel of God, a rare and unique individual living for higher purposes, Rev. Flora Ejiro Kwakpovwe gave her life to Christ in the year 1982 at Church of God Mission Urhobo College Branch Warri, Delta State. She experienced an epiphany, a spiritual flash that would change the way she viewed herself.
A product of Abia State University, she bagged a Bachelor of Science degree in Government/Public Administration. Her thirst for knowledge was the driving force that prompted her to attend a Bible School in Warri, Delta State. It was at this school that her life was moulded physically, spiritually and fitted for God’s purpose for her life and the entire Christendom.
Rev. (Mrs.) Kwakpovwe is a strong pillar, a visionary and a wonderful planner who complements the efforts of her husband, Bishop (Dr) Chris Kwakpovwe, a pharmacist turned Preacher, Publisher and Writer of the lives changing devotional, Our Daily Manna.
Her sterling attributes have helped her husband to obey God’s command to become greater. As the saying goes, “behind every successful man, there is always a woman.” She works as a virtuous woman to crown her husband’s ministerial work. On Sunday December 16, 2001 she was awarded an Honourary Doctorate degree on missions by the Calvary Academy in collaboration with the Light House Christian University Brooklyn, New York, United States of America.
She believes that the primary calling of a woman is to help her husband accomplish whatever work God has committed into his. She is a role model for the Nigerian Youth, and women at large. Her life-long devotion to the care of the poor, the sick, and the disadvantaged was one of the highest examples of service to our humanity.
Today, she is the national Co-ordinator, Co-publisher and also Managing Director of Our Daily Manna, an internationally acclaimed devotional booklet for champions and the CEO of Manna Resource Centre. She is also the Assistant General Overseer of the fast growing Manna Prayer Mountains Worldwide, and she coordinates ADMINISTRATION under the Manna Mountain conglomerate.
A fine and decent woman, full of ideas, a patriot to the core, she got born again under Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor at the then Church of God Mission Warri, Delta State with Archbishop Benson Idahosa as the General Overseer. She is a native of Ugono Orogun in Ughelli South Local Government Area of Delta State, born to the family of late Chief and Mrs. Samson Igugu.
Her interests lie in the promotion of the rights and dignity of the poor, disadvantaged and most vulnerable members of the society. These have been her philosophy and her reason for making charity a matter of compulsion. This attribute of hers has not gone unnoticed since many people are benefitting from her ineffable gestures either in cash or kind or even both.
In March 2013, she was awarded the outstanding Mothers Award 2012 (Humanitarian) by R-Well media an Advertising Co. Nig. Ltd., African Role Model Award for Excellence in 2013; Mother in Israel by the Manna Women’s Fellowship Int’l in 2014; Female Achievers Awards by Top Celebrities in 2014; Virtuous mothers Merit Award by Media Stead Int’l in 2014; Honorary Award by Global Liberation Outreach in 2015 and still counting.

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.
