Power of Positive Talking – Fred Obetoh

The need to be positive minded is one thing that every Christian must know. It is important to also note that there is power in spoken words. That means that in every situation we must have a positive outlook in life.

As we keep speaking what us right all the time we accumulate it. It is like having a savings account, when we keep talking positive word then it grows and keep manifesting in one’s life. In acts of apostles chapter 19 it demonstrates this.

The big question is what is positive minded. As a positive-minded person, you look for solutions instead of problems. You will see the bright side of life and stop focusing on things you can’t control.

According to Tony Robins he defined it “Positive thinking is an emotional and mental attitude that focuses on the good and expects results that will benefit you. It’s about anticipating happiness, health and success – essentially, training yourself to adopt an abundance mindset and cultivate gratitude for your own successes and those of others.”

So let’s bring it back to Christianity, we must know that we can do everything through Christ our Lord. There is power in spoken words and this must always have in mind.

Most times men are bothered over frivolities such as rents , fees etc, yes these things are crucial in life but when was the last time you told that your wife “I love you” when was the last time you appreciated her beauty and consistency! That is positive words .

As a child of God, there is no need to have a negative word come out if your mind. A lot of Christians go to Facebook and social media to talk anyhow but that is wrong . If a brother is making mistake , correct him nicely and not going to Facebook or something and start talking. That is totally wrong…

We must know that there is no shirt cut in life unless you are positive minded. If you are not positive minded, forget it ! You can’t scale ! You can’t progress ! You must always have a positive outlook. As a Christian don’t plan evil against anyone ! Ever ever scheme to hurt people that is negativity

Romans 4 vs 17 – 18 said I have made you a father if many nation in the presence of him who he relived…. This was the position of God while addressing Abraham , Abraham keyed into that ! He was positive towards that and that is what it is !

You must always see positive things about yourself and others. I have waited for God for 12 yrs with my wife before the kids came and I never for one day made a jest of my wife that she was barren. But today I have twins. That is a demonstration of positive outlook in life and to God !

Most times it’s very difficult for us today to maintain a positive outlook but we must try to look at life from positive angle.

BorderlessTek Launches Lifeline for Underprivileged Nigerian Children Through Coding

post-image

 

In a powerful intervention against digital exclusion, a UK-based Nigerian tech entrepreneur, Wale Atekoja, is rewriting the future of disadvantaged children in Lagos, one line of code at a time.

His organization, Borderless Tek, has launched the Kids Coding Partnership — a grassroots tech education program designed to equip underprivileged schoolchildren in communities like Ikorodu and Yaba with foundational coding and software development skills, completely free of charge.

This is not just another CSR initiative. It’s a deliberate human-centered response to the growing digital divide that continues to marginalize low-income Nigerian children from the technology revolution sweeping the globe.

“We’ve been teaching Black kids in Europe how to code, but what about those back home?” says Wale Atekoja, better known as @AtexXeta on social media. “We’re not targeting the privileged. We’re starting with the forgotten — the children who have never touched a laptop.”

 

The first three-month cohort of the program is scheduled…

post-image

A renowned radio personality and social commentator, Hon. Obi-West Utchaychukwuo, has sparked conversation on social media with his bold statement debunking the myth surrounding wealthy individuals from Southeast Nigeria. According to Utchaychukwuo, the wealth of Igbo businessmen is not rooted in ritual practices but in hard work, smart networking, and deep business acumen.

In a recent statement shared online, Utchaychukwuo noted that the southeastern region of Nigeria, predominantly occupied by the Igbo ethnic group, is home to the highest number of self-made billionaires in the country. “These are not people who looted public funds,” he emphasized, “but entrepreneurs who have built legitimate empires.”

He pointed to events such as the high-profile burial ceremony of Obi Cubana’s mother, which drew nationwide attention due to the extravagant displays of wealth. While some questioned the sources of the funds, Utchaychukwuo clarified that many of those in attendance were top importers, exporters, and sole distributors…

By Anthony Nwosu – Lagos

The South East region of Nigeria has emerged as the leading zone in milk consumption, with a record 54.7% of households reportedly consuming milk and dairy products regularly. This is according to the latest 2023/2024 data released by Statisense using figures from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), the General Household Survey (GHS), and the Living Standards Measurement Study (LSMS).

The national average of milk consumption stands at 41.5%, with other zones falling behind the South East. The South South region follows closely at 50.1%, while the South West records 48.3%. However, the figures drop significantly in the North: North West (37.6%), North Central (29.4%), and North East (23.3%).

Health and nutrition experts say these numbers reflect the socio-economic imbalance in Nigeria, where access to nutritious foods like milk is often dictated by purchasing power and awareness.

Nigeria’s Cross River State became the second to mark construction of a Special Agro-Industrial Processing Zone after the country’s Vice President Kashim Shettima and African Development Bank (www.AfDB.org) President Dr. Akinwumi Adesina broke ground at the project site on Thursday 10 April.

Boifiok Unveils Vision to Disrupt Africa’s Food Supply Chain Through Group Buying and Digital Innovation

post-image

 Boifiok, a fast-rising player in Africa’s agri-tech and e-commerce space, has announced bold plans to revolutionize the continent’s food supply chain by leveraging digital group buying solutions. The company aims to make food more affordable for millions of urban households while accelerating growth for local vendors.

Speaking at a recent industry event, a spokesperson for Boifiok emphasized the urgent need to address food affordability across sub-Saharan Africa, where rapid urbanization has intensified economic pressure on households.

“We are improving food affordability through group buying,” the spokesperson stated. “In sub-Saharan Africa alone, rapid urbanization has presented both opportunities and challenges. Macroeconomic instability and the absence of a digital group-buying platform have led to inconsistent food prices, straining family budgets.”

Boifiok’s digital model aims to connect urban households directly with affordable groceries while empowering vendors…
