HANDSHAKING THE FUTURE: PROJECT NWAFOR IGBO AT WORLD IGBO CONGRESS
Sahara Weekly Reports That The city of Atlanta revibranted once again during a 4 days back to back event marking a new era in the sands of history for Ndi Igbo Worldwide as it hosted the World Igbo Congress. The Equity Concepts Entertainments CEO Rowland Okorie says he is short of words to express gratitude to the Chairman of the Event Professor Anthony Ejifor an igbo giant and the entire Organisers of the event.
WIC is the world’s most sophisticated gathering of Igbo elites and power houses around the globe. An event we were barely ready for after a returned europe tour where we went to Present the vision and blueprint to Igbos in Europe.
The event marked the first in history to have an encounter with the Royal Father of the day The Obi of Onitsha His Royal Majesty Nnaemeka Alfred Ugochukwu Achebe. The most humble man I met in my lifetime, an igbo Icon with an in depth history of Nigeria, Ndi Igbo and the world. In his wisdom he addressed issues of insecurity in Igbo land, he talked about the values in our culture and called for the resolution and immediate action to be taken to fix our land and bring back businesses that will unity Igbos around the world.
He Further stated that there is nothing an Igbo man cannot do, Particularly bringing back business that will compete with world standard is the lease of all.
The event started with a welcome address by the President of Igbo Progressive Union of Atlanta Innocent Ukabam PHD. He is a rare Gym, a passionate Igbo man whose love for his people has no bound. I am happy to meet with new opportunities and fresh partners like Dr Emmanuel Asonye the chief operating officer of kedu a US based cooperation which focuses on documenting igbo literacy ,history ,culture ,language and igbo people.
Public Relations Officer of WIC, Basil Onwukwe,had earlier in the month of August hinted our reporter and media consultant publisher of Eastern Eye Magazine Ms Ngozi Okorie of the arrangements that were on ground to give the dreadlock Mbaise Leader the opportunity to market his project to the Leadership of the World Igbo Congress. At the event were also other dignitaries Georgia District 102 Representative Chief Gabe Okoye and powerful respected Igbo attorneys all around the world. Convention was also a group exposize of countless Medical Doctors, Engineers , Architects Chiefs and Council of elders. In Fact it was all works of life.
When the stage was set and he was given the floor to make a speech to the elders and leaders, Rowland Okorie started by saying Igbo Kwenu, a cultural gesture of salutation for oneness, which the crowd must respond in agreement. I am in this convention to preach the gospel of PROJECT NWAFOR IGBO. He went straight to the point by addressing the issues surrounding the prevailing precarious situations in the south east, where it is now an issue of immediate concern to pursue a system that will guarantee and safeguard Ndigbo investments and generation of Igbo youths.
He maintains that other key Nigeria tribes have outright disdain, outright disregard and outright disrespect for freedom of political and economical freedom for the igbo people.
He stressed the need to maintain the wake up call for total mass exedous of Igbo businesses and focus on our motherland, pointing to the fact that PROJECT NWAFOR IGBO offers the right business network, foreign partner connect and organisational prowess to attain its goals.
The project offers out of box solutions to existential and security threats to life and property in Ala-igbo.
It is well positioned and determined to own the responsibility of building the future of the Igbo nation.”
PROJECT NWAFOR IGBO is the only project today that can confidently present a blueprint on how to mirror businesses and investment back to Igbo land.
All we seek is partnership and encouragement.
Rowland keyed into the concept of the convention as the best avenue to reset Igbo agenda, based on the prevalent situation in the Nigerian equation.
Hand in hand with Project Nwafor Igbo, the time is perfect to plan into the future he retreated.
The venue of the Congress was adorned with roll up banners and backdrops side by side that of the Igbo Progressive Union (IPU) and at intervals people trouped around to take pictures with Project Nwafor igbo setup as a sign of endorsement and solidarity.
Also on ground was the WIC Chairman Board of Directors, Prof Anthony Ejiofor who promised to throw his weight behind the project because he sees and values its immense potential for Ndigbo.

COAS Launches Nationwide Security Renewal Mission in Plateau
The Chief of Army Staff, Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, on Thursday led a high-level delegation of security chiefs to Plateau State, flagging off a nationwide security renewal mission aimed at strengthening civil-military cooperation and restoring lasting peace across the country.
The visit to Jos, the Plateau State capital, marks the first phase of a coordinated national effort to address persistent security challenges through joint operations, community engagement, and proactive intelligence gathering.
Governor Caleb Muftwang received the delegation, describing the initiative as a critical step toward stabilizing affected communities and reinforcing public confidence in security institutions.
Civil-Military Synergy Takes Centre Stage
At the heart of the mission is a renewed emphasis on collaboration between the military, civil authorities, and local communities. Speaking during the visit, Lt. Gen. Shaibu stressed that national security must be treated as a collective responsibility.
He urged citizens to support security agencies by remaining vigilant, sharing credible information, and complying with lawful directives, noting that effective security cannot be achieved in isolation.
Community Engagement as Confidence-Building Tool
In a departure from purely operational engagements, the Army Chief held direct consultations with community leaders and residents in Jos, reinforcing the importance of trust and dialogue in conflict resolution.
Lawmakers, including Dachung Bagos and Ladi Dangyok, commended the initiative, stating that visible engagement by top military leadership helps rebuild confidence among citizens and fosters cooperation.
Proactive Security Operations Underway
Operational updates were provided by Major General Folusho Oyinlola, who disclosed that troops under Operation Enduring Peace have intensified surveillance, intelligence-led patrols, and coordinated actions with other security agencies.
According to the Army, the approach is designed to prevent escalation of threats, safeguard lives and property, and stabilize vulnerable communities before crises emerge.
A Shift Toward Sustainable Peace
Military authorities emphasized that the Plateau visit is part of a broader, long-term strategy to transition from reactive responses to sustainable peacebuilding nationwide. The framework includes strengthening local resilience, ensuring justice, and maintaining continuous engagement with stakeholders.
Analysts view the initiative as a significant policy shift, reflecting a more inclusive security architecture that integrates community participation with military operations.
Call for National Unity
The Army leadership concluded with an appeal to Nigerians to reject divisive narratives and support ongoing efforts to promote unity and peace.
“The success of this mission depends not only on the armed forces but on the cooperation of every citizen,” the COAS stated.
The nationwide security renewal campaign is expected to extend to other regions in the coming weeks as authorities seek to consolidate gains and build a safer, more unified Nigeria.
IGP Disu Visits Plateau, Orders Tactical Deployment To Reinforce Security

Governor Muftwang commended the swift intervention of the police leadership, praising the dedication and professionalism of security personnel working to restore calm. He also acknowledged the efforts of mobile police officers and lauded the leadership of the state’s Commissioner of Police, Bassey Ewah.
Both the Nigeria Police Force and the Plateau State Government reaffirmed their commitment to safeguarding lives and property, stressing that enhanced collaboration remains key to restoring lasting peace in Plateau State, popularly known as the Home of Peace and Tourism.
Grace Nation Worldwide: A Living Reality – Dr. Chris Okafor
……“Miracles, Healing, and Deliverance Overflow at Grace Nation Services”
The Grace Nation midweek Prophetic Healing, Deliverance, and Solutions (PHDS) Service on 2nd April 2026 at the international headquarters in Ojodu Berger, Lagos, was a spectacular display of God’s power, marked by miracles, healing, and deliverance.
The God of Grace Nation continues to demonstrate His authority, breaking strongholds, healing the sick, restoring lost glory, and providing solutions to every problem presented at His altar.
Testimonies of God’s Power
One woman, previously diagnosed with a terminal condition and slated for a ₦4.5 million surgery due to inability to excrete, was prayed for by the Generational Prophet, Christopher Okafor, just a week after visiting the church. Declaring healing within 24 hours, she returned to testify to God’s miraculous intervention.
Another pregnant woman, whose baby was bridged and at risk, was located and prayed for. She returned to service with confirmation that her child is now well-positioned for delivery. Similarly, a woman booked for a C-section due to an overdue and poorly positioned pregnancy testified during the service that her baby is now properly positioned, ready for birth.
These testimonies underscore the truth: what God cannot do does not exist. Grace Nation has entered a new level of spiritual authority, and with faith, believers are witnessing the impossible become reality.
God Works by Principle, Not Gossip
In his sermon, Dr. Okafor emphasized that God does not operate on superstition, gossip, or social media pressures. His work is grounded in His Word, and it is through adherence to His principles that Grace Nation continues to flourish.
The Generational Prophet stressed that to enjoy divine blessings and fruitfulness, believers must remain connected to God’s Word, faithfully serve Him, and ignore distractions or side-talks. Focused commitment to God’s service guarantees alignment with His miraculous power.
