At a time when the music industry is increasingly driven by algorithms, short attention spans and manufactured virality, Nigerian artist Jubet is proving that emotional connection may still be the most powerful marketing tool in music.

His breakout single “Hardest Truth” has rapidly evolved from an emotionally honest African record into one of the fastest-spreading emerging songs across digital platforms globally; generating massive engagement across TikTok, streaming services, Shazam and international charts within just a few weeks of release.

What started as a deeply personal record has now become a global emotional movement.

The song has already:

-Generated over 2.2 million TikTok video creations organically

-Crossed over 4 million Audiomack streams

-Surpassed 2.1 million Spotify streams

-Crossed over 1.5 million Apple Music streams

-Generated over 1.5 million Boomplay streams

-Recorded over 1.3 million YouTube audio views

-Generated over 600,000 Shazams globally

-Reached No. 2 on the Shazam Global Chart for 2 consecutive weeks

-Reached No. 7 on Worldwide Shazam rankings after spending two weeks consecutively at No. 2.

-Debuted at No. 14 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs Chart

-Debuted at No. 17 on the Global Top 100 Afrobeats Chart.

-Entered Spotify Nigeria Top 100
Reached No. 1 on Shazam Ghana, Kenya, Uganda and Zambia

The record has also charted across more than 20 countries globally including Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Kenya, Zambia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Côte d’Ivoire, South Africa, the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States and several Caribbean territories.

Industry observers say the speed and pattern of growth surrounding “Hardest Truth” reflects something much deeper than traditional viral success.

Unlike many songs built primarily around dance challenges or heavy influencer campaigns, Jubet’s record spread through emotional relatability. Across TikTok and social media, listeners began using the song to express heartbreak, vulnerability, reflection and real-life emotional experiences.

That emotional participation eventually transformed into massive user-generated content behaviour.

According to digital tracking patterns, millions of users organically adopted the record into personal storytelling content, relationship videos, emotional captions, cinematic edits and reflective moments, helping the song travel naturally across different demographics and countries without a heavily manufactured rollout structure at the beginning.

Strategically managed by Nigerian entertainment executive Louiza Williams, the campaign around Jubet has gradually focused on positioning the artist not just as another viral act, but as an emotionally resonant voice capable of building long-term audience connection across cultures.

With over a decade of experience across artist development, entertainment marketing and talent positioning, Louiza Williams and Loui-K Empire have continued structuring the movement around the record through strategic rollout coordination, audience targeting, content systems and international positioning efforts.

The result has been one of the most interesting emerging African music stories of the year.

For many listeners globally, “Hardest Truth” represents something rare in today’s music landscape: a song people genuinely feel connected to.

As the record continues expanding globally across streaming platforms, charts and international music conversations, Jubet is increasingly being recognized as one of the new emotional voices emerging from Africa’s rapidly evolving music industry.

And if current momentum is any indication, “Hardest Truth” may only be the beginning.

PRESS RELEASE

TOSIN OSHIN FOUNDATION CALLS FOR COLLECTIVE ACTION AGAINST DRUG ABUSE AMONG NIGERIAN CHILDREN AND YOUTHS ON CHILDREN’S DAY

As Nigeria joins the rest of the world to celebrate Children’s Day, Tosin Oshin Foundation (TOF) has called on parents, government institutions, schools, religious bodies, media organizations, and society at large to intensify collective efforts toward eradicating drug abuse among children and youths across the country.

The Foundation made this known through a special Children’s Day awareness campaign released by its Founder, Tosin Oshin, stressing that the future of Nigeria depends heavily on the protection, education, and empowerment of its younger generation.

Speaking during the Children’s Day message, the Founder noted that drug abuse has become one of the most dangerous threats confronting Nigerian youths today, with many young lives being destroyed by substance addiction, peer pressure, violence, depression, and negative social influence.

According to him, the fight against drug abuse should not be left for government agencies alone, but must become a collective responsibility involving parents, schools, communities, civil society organizations, and the media.

“Children are the future of every nation. We must protect them from every form of substance abuse, harmful influence, and social destruction. The responsibility belongs to all of us as parents, leaders, educators, and citizens,” he stated.

The Foundation further emphasized the need for increased sensitization programmes in schools and communities, stronger parental guidance, youth mentorship initiatives, counseling support, and continuous advocacy campaigns aimed at building a drug-free generation.

Tosin Oshin Foundation reaffirmed its commitment to combating drug abuse through education, mentorship, awareness campaigns, advocacy, and community-based intervention programmes designed to empower children and youths positively.

The Foundation also encouraged young Nigerians to reject drugs, embrace education, discover purpose, and become productive contributors to society.

As part of the Children’s Day celebration, the Foundation urged stakeholders to prioritize policies and initiatives that safeguard the mental, emotional, and social wellbeing of children across Nigeria.

Tosin Oshin Foundation remains committed to its vision of building a society where children and youths live free from drug abuse and are empowered to achieve their full potential.

Princess Joyce Matthew Andrew Appointed North Central Coordinator of RELAX TINUBU IS FIXING NIGERIA


Princess Amb. Dr. Joyce Matthew Andrew has been appointed as the North Central Coordinator of RELAX TINUBU IS FIXING NIGERIA, an initiative founded by Barrister Seyi Tinubu to promote national development, civic engagement, and support for the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.

Her appointment has continued to attract attention among political stakeholders, youth groups, and humanitarian organizations across the country, particularly within the North Central region, where she is widely recognized for her contributions to community development and humanitarian service.

Princess Joyce Matthew Andrew is a distinguished humanitarian, philanthropist, and peace advocate who has consistently championed causes centered on women empowerment, youth development, and social impact initiatives across Nigeria.

She currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer and President of Supreme Family Entertainment International Initiative (SFEII), an organization committed to community upliftment, entertainment for development, and humanitarian outreach programmes targeted at improving lives.

Over the years, she has remained active in several advocacy and empowerment campaigns aimed at supporting vulnerable groups and promoting unity within communities.

Her emergence as North Central Coordinator of RELAX TINUBU IS FIXING NIGERIA is being described by supporters and observers as a strategic move that reflects her leadership capacity, grassroots influence, and commitment to nation-building.

In addition to her humanitarian engagements, Princess Joyce also holds the title of United Nations Eminent Peace Ambassador, a recognition of her efforts in promoting peace-building, dialogue, and inclusive governance.

Through her leadership and advocacy roles, she has continued to encourage active citizenship, peaceful coexistence, and collective participation in national development.

Political observers believe her appointment will further strengthen grassroots mobilization and community engagement efforts within the North Central region, while also expanding the reach of the initiative across Nigeria.

With her growing influence in humanitarian and civic circles, Princess Amb. Dr. Joyce Matthew Andrew continues to position herself as one of the notable voices promoting peace, development, and national unity in the country.

A close associate of Nollywood actress Ijeoma Richards has recounted the terrifying incident that led to the explosion of the actress’ vehicle somewhere in Lagos, describing it as a miraculous escape from death.

According to the source, the actress, who is also the President of the Nollywood Creative Minds Forum (NCMF), had spent most of the afternoon moving around in the vehicle before parking for an official meeting.

The close friend explained that the tragic incident could easily have claimed lives if the explosion had occurred while she was still inside the car.

“She was in the car most of the afternoon. It could have happened while she was still inside the vehicle. She parked and went in for a meeting. The burning videos and pictures making rounds were reportedly captured by security personnel around the area,” the source disclosed.

The associate further narrated that while the meeting was ongoing, people around heard a loud explosion and noticed the arrival of a fire truck, without initially realising that the affected vehicle belonged to the actress.

“When the meeting ended and everyone came outside, they discovered that the fire service officials were there because of her car. They heard the explosion earlier, but nobody knew immediately that it was her vehicle that exploded,” the source added.

The shocking development has continued to generate reactions within the entertainment industry, as colleagues, fans and associates have expressed gratitude to God for sparing her life.

At the time of filing this report, efforts to reach Ijeoma Richards proved unsuccessful. Sources close to the actress disclosed that she is currently unavailable to speak on the incident due to the emotional trauma caused by the experience.

Though the vehicle was completely damaged by the fire, many have described her survival as nothing short of divine intervention.

Tourist Adventures International Club of Nigeria 1st year Anniversary, 2025
Tagged ; Award / Dinner Night .
Date ; Saturday 27th September, 2025
At Oluwab Hotel , Kemta Abeokuta .

SPEECH BY DR. MUIB ABEEB OLOWO, PRESIDENT, TOURIST ADVENTURE CLUB (TAC), ON THE OCCASION OF THE CLUB’S FIRST ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION AND WORLD TOURISM DAY

Distinguished Guests, Esteemed Members of the Tourist Adventure Club, Friends of Tourism, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Today, we gather not only to celebrate the first anniversary of our dear club, the Tourist Adventure Club (TAC), but also to join the world in commemorating World Tourism Day. What a profound privilege it is that our journey as a club aligns with this global celebration of culture, adventure, and human connection.

When TAC was founded on August 27th, 2025, by a visionary and veteran broadcast journalist, Dr. Abiodun Muibi, the MD/CEO of Habimub Communications, it was born out of a dream — a dream to create a vibrant community of explorers, dreamers, and adventurers who believe in the power of tourism to inspire, to unite, and to transform lives. The club began humbly with five members, and though the journey was not without its challenges, today we proudly count over 80 committed members who are doing tremendously well.

Indeed, our first year has been one of growth, learning, and building. From the very beginning, we set out with a clear vision: to foster tourism and adventure as a means of relaxation, connection, networking, cultural exchange, and education. We believe strongly that “Travel and Tourism is Education”-an opportunity not only to see the world but to learn, to share, and to shape a better society.

In just one year, TAC has recorded remarkable achievements:

1. We have successfully organized five different hangouts, where members have embraced peace, unity, and friendship.

2. We held a lecture and symposium to enlighten members on the importance of world tourism and its principles, instilling in us the ideology of responsible global tourists.

3. We decorated seven important personalities-philanthropists, humanitarians, and business leaders-as Patrons of TAC. They have since been supporting us both morally and financially.

4. Most recently, the club was generously allocated a plot of land in Abeokuta by Malam Dr. Fatai Aro, for the construction of a modern and befitting clubhouse, which will stand as a symbol of our growth and legacy.

Tourism, at its very core, is about people. It is about bridging divides, breaking barriers, and building friendships across cultures and continents. In a world often torn apart by differences, tourism reminds us that we share one earth, one humanity, and one destiny.

As TAC, we stand as ambassadors of this truth. We are committed to promoting responsible tourism-tourism that respects cultures, preserves heritage, protects the environment, and empowers communities. We are not just tourists; we are custodians of experiences, guardians of heritage, and storytellers of tomorrow.

On this special day, I call on all our members and supporters to see TAC not just as a club but as a movement-a movement that will shape the narrative of tourism in Nigeria, Africa, and the world at large. The future of TAC is indeed bright. We envision expanding our reach, creating more opportunities for our members to travel, learn, and grow, while also contributing meaningfully to society.

As we celebrate today, let us remember that tourism is not about how far we travel but how deeply we connect. It is about the footprints we leave behind-not just in the sands of beaches or the trails of mountains-but in the lives of people and communities we touch.

On behalf of the Tourist Adventure Club, I rejoice with every tourist across the globe today. May we continue to explore, to dream, to discover, and to inspire the world through tourism.

Happy Anniversary to TAC!
Happy World Tourism Day to all!

Thank you, and may the adventure never end.

Mesba Promotions Limited Hosts 'An Evening with Maimuna' to Mark Founder's Birthday in Lagos, Nigeria - 23rd February 2025: a special event, 'An Evening with Maimuna,' to celebrate the birthday of its founder, Maimuna. The event, which took place on the 23rd February, at the Officers Mess, Airstation Base,Navy Town Ojo brought together friends, family, and well-wishers for an evening of relaxation, entertainment, and thought-provoking discussion.

The highlight of the evening was the screening of a movie produced by Maimuna, which focused on the importance of responsible parenting, personal growth, and family values. The film sparked a critical analysis on the sensitive topic of rape and the reactions of family members to such situations.

The discussion shed light on the often-taboo topic, highlighting the tendency for some family members to conceal the truth and protect perpetrators rather than supporting victims and condemning the abuse.

Through this event, Mesba Promotions Limited aims to promote awareness and education on social issues, encouraging individuals to take a stand against injustice and promote positive change in their communities. Going on, Mesba Arts Studio would premiere Nollywood movies periodically within Navy town Ojo, Satellite town, festac town and its environs educating people on issues treated in our movies as it affects our minds, marriages, children and the family unit in general.

In a dramatic turn of events, a team of security agencies stormed the headquarters of Access Bank Plc on Wednesday morning to execute a Bench Warrant issued by the Lagos High Court for the arrest of the bank’s CEO and Managing Director, Bolaji Agbede, and other senior officials. The arrest order came after the accused failed to appear in court as ordered in relation to a case involving serious charges of conspiracy, stealing, and attempted theft.

The court order, handed down by Justice Ibironke Harrison of the Lagos High Court, followed a string of legal issues stemming from allegations of fraudulent conversion of property documents. Specifically, the case revolves around the conversion of title documents from MOB Integrated Services Limited in a complex loan arrangement involving Access Bank and other parties.

The charges stem from a loan agreement in which Balmoral International Limited and its managing director, Adejare Adegbenro, received a N333 million loan from Diamond Bank (now Access Bank). As part of the loan conditions, MOB Integrated Services Limited offered their property at 40B Bourdillion Road, Ikoyi as collateral. However, without the knowledge or consent of MOB Integrated Services, Access Bank continued to provide additional facilities to Balmoral International, ultimately including the property as collateral for a separate, unrelated N1 billion credit facility.

The fraudulent use of the property led to legal actions, and despite being duly served, Access Bank and its officials, including Bolaji Agbede, failed to appear in court for the January 20th arraignment. This failure prompted the court to issue a Bench Warrant, which led to Wednesday’s police operation at Access Bank’s headquarters.

The police, led by an Assistant Commissioner of Police, arrived at the bank’s headquarters at noon on February 5, 2025, but were told that the CEO was in a meeting, and the Company Secretary was in London. After engaging with the bank’s legal officers, the police were assured that the defendants would appear at the next scheduled hearing, set for February 24, 2025.

The Lagos State government filed a four-count charge against the bank, its CEO, and other individuals involved, including Adejare Adegbenro. The charges stem from fraudulent actions involving the unauthorized use of MOB Integrated Services’ property and an apparent attempt to cover up the fraudulent conversion of the property.

The case, LD/24884C/2024 – The State of Lagos v. Adejare Adegbenro & Ors, is set for arraignment on February 24, 2025, as prosecutors continue to investigate the illegal dealings.

This high-profile case highlights the ongoing battle against financial fraud and misconduct in Nigeria’s banking sector, and authorities remain vigilant in ensuring that those responsible face justice.

In a heartwarming tale of love at first sight, Olamilekan made headlines by proposing to Olajumoke just weeks after meeting her on December 1. Their story proves that sometimes, the strongest connections happen in the most unexpected moments, reminding us that love knows no timeline.

A December to Remember
The pair’s paths crossed earlier this month during what seemed like an ordinary encounter. Little did they know, their meeting would set the stage for a beautiful love story. From their first conversation, Olamilekan and Olajumoke felt a connection that was both profound and undeniable.

Falling Fast, Falling Deep
As the days of December unfolded, Olamilekan and Olajumoke spent time getting to know each other, quickly discovering shared values, dreams, and an unshakable bond. Olamilekan realized that he didn’t need more time to know she was the one he wanted to spend his life with.

The Proposal: A Holiday Miracle
On December 28, Olamilekan surprised Olajumoke with a proposal that captured the magic of the season. He chose a cozy yet romantic setting, complete with twinkling lights and holiday decorations, symbolizing the joy and warmth she had brought into his life.

As Olajumoke arrived, Olamilekan stood ready, holding a small velvet box. With heartfelt words, he said, “Olajumoke, meeting you this month has been the greatest gift of my life. I know it’s sudden, but I also know that you’re the one my heart has been waiting for. Will you marry me?”

Olajumoke, overwhelmed with emotion, said yes, bringing cheers and applause from close friends and family who had secretly gathered to celebrate the moment.

Reactions from Loved Ones
While their whirlwind romance took many by surprise, friends and family have shared their excitement and support for the couple. “When you see them together, you can feel the love,” one friend remarked. “It’s rare to find such a strong connection so quickly, but it’s clear they’ve found something special.”

The Beginning of Forever
As the year draws to a close, Olamilekan and Olajumoke are looking ahead to a bright future together. Their love story, which began in December, is a reminder that the heart often knows what it wants, even in a short amount of time.

Congratulations to Olamilekan and Olajumoke on their engagement! May their love continue to grow and shine as brightly as the holiday lights that surrounded their special moment.

She educated the participants on the 7 for 7 + 7, she then went on to enlighten the forum on the need to have equal respect for our National Symbols. She stressed that our National Symbols are our pride as Nigerians, thereby calling for the need to cherish and value what is ours.

She reiterated how the National Anthem can foster unity among the citizens of a diverse such as Nigeria and appealed to Nigerians to see our diversity as strength not weakness, that irrespective of our tribes, ethnicity, cultural and religious differences, we must see ourselves as and act as One Nigeria.

The academic community also asked the government to be sincere in driving and promoting the policy; appeal to the leaders to led by example; called for entrenching of indigenous languages in schools from ages 3-12; appeal to caution the so called celebrities, to focus on what will promote our values rather than what is deteriorating the society; and encourage the government for enforcement

On fake news and hate speech, she called on the people to always fact check information before spreading it as unconfirmed and non factual information can lead to chaos and palpable tension in the polity

In her final remarks, Mrs. Oluwa said Nigerians should borrow a lead from the opening stanza's one of the national anthem which reads "Though tribes and tongues may differ, in brotherhood we stand" to call on everyone to be united regardless of our tribes and religious affiliation, pray for and not curse our dear country and support the Federal Government programs, policies and activities geared towards a renewed hope for a better Nigeria of our dreams

Mrs. Salako opined that regardless of our location, tribes, religion or ethnicity the Nigerian people must embrace the National core values for the betterment of self and country. She added that the influx of other cultures into our geographical space, westernization and civilization has led to the erosion of our national core values hence the need to go back to the roots and address this character misdemeanor before it goes out of hand hence the main reason why the NOA deem it fit to launch the National Identity Project which enshrined the National Value Charter and the standardization of the National symbols

Mrs. Salako informed participants that the National Value Charter is a full package which comes with the 7 Nigerian promises and the 7 Citizen codes which if embraced she said, will get us to where we really want to go as one indivisible family. The citizens codes, she mentioned, are the expectation of the government from the citizens which includes Discipline, Tolerance and Respect, Duty of Care, Environmental Awareness, Resilience, Leadership, Transparency while the 7 Nigerian promise the citizenry likewise expects from the government are

NOA Ogun Flags off Nationwide Sensitization Campaign on National Anthem, National Value Charter

The National Orientation Agency, Ogun State Directorate, Wednesday, in Abeokuta, flags off the Agency's National Identity Project (NIP) programme with Press Conference on Nationwide Sensitization Campaign on the National Anthem and National Value Charter

Addressing the media at the Press Conference to herald the programme in Ogun State, the State Director, Mrs. Funke Salako, said the Agency drew its inspiration for the project from Mr. President’s declaration “we must build Nigerians to build Nigeria”

She said in pursuit of this novel declaration from the President, National Orientation Agency, Nigeria., is embarking on a nationwide campaign on the National Anthem and the National Value Charter, an increasingly interconnected world, the elements of which serves as the foundation of our unity, pride, and purpose as a nation.

She describes the National Identity as not merely a set of symbols or a collection of historical events; it is the essence of who we are as a people encompassing our shared language, traditions, and values, and forming the bedrock of our cultural heritage. Our national identity, she added, fosters a sense of belonging, allowing us to connect deeply with one another and to celebrate our diversity that enriches our nation, making it vibrant and resilient.

Mrs. Salako further posited that the National Identity Project is the systemic reintroduction of the positive values we always had as a people and to reecho the messages to the leaders and the led that as we embrace our identities, we must also recognize the challenges we face world over as a result of globalization, migration, and technological advancements which sometimes dilute our cultural ties hence making it imperative we actively engage in preserving and promoting our national identity, ensuring that future generations inherit a rich and meaningful legacy for a better nation

On the National Value Charter, the NOA Ogun boss said the charter is not just a document but a commitment to uphold and promote the core values that define our nation. It articulates principles such as respect, integrity, inclusivity, and responsibility which if adhered to will reinforce our national identity and create a framework for collaboration and understanding among our citizens, therefore the Charter serves as a guide for individuals, institutions, and government bodies, encouraging us to align our actions with the ideals we cherish and empowers citizens to actively participate in nation-building, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility toward our collective future.

She highlighted the National Value Charter as based on 7 Citizens codes and the 7 Nigerian promises. The citizens codes, she mentioned, are the expectation of the government from the citizens which includes Discipline, Tolerance and Respect, Duty of Care, Environmental Awareness, Resilience, Leadership, Transparency while the 7 Nigerian promise the citizenry likewise expects from the government are
Equality, Inclusivity, Entrepreneurship and Employment, Democracy, Peace and Security, Freedom and Justice, and Meritocracy.

She said part of what the Federal Government intended to do is the creation of institutions that will be the support system for this project, and will lead to the creation of 37,000 Citizens Brigade members across the country, which will translate to 1000 Citizen Brigade per state including the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) with adequate representation in primary and secondary schools in the country fashioned after the Boys Brigade with a “Catch them Young and Train them on National Values” Agenda

She disclosed that the other half of the Agency's campaign, is the promotion and popularisation of the National Anthem with the intent to encourage everyone to learn and reflect on the Anthem. And in carrying on this campaign, the NOA will be engaging in a series of activities such as Town hall meetings, stakeholders engagement, roadshows, social media campaigns, conventional media appearances, etc, till December 2024.

"As we reflect on our national identity and the principles outlined in the National Value Charter, let us remember that each of us plays a crucial role. We must embody these values in our daily lives, promoting unity, respect, and compassion in our communities. By doing so, we not only honor our past but also pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future.

In conclusion, let us stand together, embracing our national identity and upholding the values enshrined in the National Value Charter. Together, we can build a nation that is not only proud of its heritage but also committed to fostering a harmonious and prosperous society for all", she said.
