Jubet Brings His Pen and Perspective to emPawa Publishing as “Hardest Truth” Continues Its Global Run

Following more than four months on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart and major Shazam milestones, the Nigerian singer-songwriter enters a new chapter with emPawa Publishing.

Nigerian singer-songwriter Jubet is entering a significant new phase of his career after joining the emPawa Publishing roster, marking an important step in the development and global positioning of his songwriting catalogue.

The development was announced by emPawa Publishing and emPawa Africa, who publicly welcomed the rising Nigerian artist to the publishing family while highlighting the distinctive qualities that have come to define his music: vulnerability, melody and honest storytelling.

The partnership arrives at a defining moment for Jubet, whose breakthrough single, “Hardest Truth,” has evolved from an intensely personal record into an international Afrobeats success story.

The song has maintained a sustained presence on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs chart for more than four months, while reaching No. 1 in five African countries and securing placements on the Global Shazam Chart and Global Afrobeats Top 100.

“Hardest Truth” has also demonstrated the depth of its international reach, connecting with audiences across multiple African markets and establishing Jubet as one of the emerging voices of a new generation of Afrobeats artists.

In its announcement welcoming Jubet, emPawa described the artist as a rising Nigerian recording artist whose sound is built around vulnerability, melody and honest storytelling, qualities that have become central to his artistic identity.

The publishing company also placed emphasis on the songwriter behind the music, noting that Jubet is bringing “that pen, that perspective and that unmissable emotionality” to the emPawa Publishing catalogue.

That distinction is significant.

For Jubet, the publishing partnership represents more than recognition for a successful record. It marks a move toward developing the songwriter and the catalogue behind his growing international profile, while creating a foundation for the next phase of his career.

“Hardest Truth” has demonstrated that emotional honesty can travel. What began as a deeply personal expression has resonated with listeners across borders, turning Jubet’s vulnerability into a shared experience for audiences around the world.

For Jubet’s management, the partnership is a natural progression in an increasingly international journey.

“Jubet’s journey has always been about more than creating a successful record. At the heart of his artistry is his ability to translate real emotion and personal experiences into songs that people can see themselves in. The response to ‘Hardest Truth’ has shown us just how far that honesty can travel. Partnering with emPawa Publishing is an important step in developing Jubet not only as an artist, but as a songwriter and a catalogue with long-term global potential. We are excited about what this next chapter will make possible.”

- Louiza Williams -

Jubet’s emergence comes at a time when Afrobeats continues to expand its global footprint, with artists possessing distinctive voices and emotionally resonant songwriting finding increasingly receptive audiences beyond Nigeria.

From his beginnings in Ilora, Oyo State, to international chart recognition, Jubet’s trajectory has been shaped by an increasingly intentional approach to artistry, audience building and long-term career development.

The emPawa Publishing partnership now adds another important layer to that trajectory.

With “Hardest Truth” continuing to demonstrate staying power and a growing catalogue ahead of him, Jubet enters this next chapter not simply as a breakout artist, but as a songwriter whose voice and perspective are beginning to command international attention.

The breakthrough may have started with “Hardest Truth.” The next chapter is about what comes after it.

Jubet, born Akanbi Oluwa Jubelo, is a Nigerian singer-songwriter and recording artist whose music is defined by vulnerability, melody and emotionally honest storytelling. His breakthrough single, “Hardest Truth,” propelled him onto international charts and introduced his distinctive sound to audiences beyond Nigeria.

Top 10 DJs in Nigeria: Why DJ Brightstar Has Earned a Place Among the Industry’s Most Influential Entertainers

Nigeria’s entertainment industry has produced some of Africa’s most respected and influential disc jockeys, with Lagos remaining the heartbeat of nightlife, music culture and premium entertainment experiences.

For years, names like DJ Jimmy Jatt, DJ Neptune, DJ Spinall, DJ Xclusive, DJ Big N, DJ Consequence, DJ Kaywise and DJ Obi have dominated conversations around the country’s elite DJs.

However, one name that has continued to rise steadily through consistency, visibility, live performance excellence and brand relevance is DJ Brightstar.

Over the years, DJ Brightstar has evolved from a respected campus DJ into one of the most recognizable entertainment personalities within Nigeria’s nightlife and event culture.

His journey began during his university years where he became the first official DJ of Akwa Ibom State University, a role that helped establish his early reputation as a skilled crowd controller and live entertainer.

Unlike many DJs who remain limited to nightclub appearances, DJ Brightstar built his brand across multiple sectors of the entertainment industry including radio, live concerts, celebrity tours, nightlife events, television appearances and premium brand activations.

His media experience includes working with platforms such as Raypower FM, Planet Radio, AKBC TV, Comfort Radio, Lasgidi FM and Inspiration FM, where he gained recognition for his versatility and deep understanding of entertainment culture.

Over the years, DJ Brightstar has also shared stages and worked alongside some of Nigeria’s biggest music stars including 2Baba, Timaya, Duncan Mighty, Kizz Daniel, Peruzzi, Tekno, Harrysong, Shallipopi, Young Jonn, Seyi Vibez, Skales and several others.

His growth within the entertainment industry became even more visible after serving as official DJ to notable artists and entertainment brands while consistently appearing at major nightlife experiences and corporate events across Nigeria.

Beyond artist collaborations, DJ Brightstar has also continued to attract premium corporate and lifestyle brands. His association with major entertainment activations connected to brands such as Heineken, Desperados and Johnnie Walker Black Label reflects the growing confidence global brands have in his ability to deliver premium live entertainment experiences.

Over the years, DJ Brightstar has performed at several nightlife and brand-driven experiences tied to youth culture, music, nightlife and celebrity entertainment, positioning him as one of the few DJs consistently bridging mainstream entertainment with premium lifestyle branding in Nigeria.

One of such notable appearances was his featured performance for Beer Barn’s Johnnie Walker Black Label nightlife experience in Port Harcourt, where he headlined a premium entertainment activation designed around nightlife culture, music and luxury lifestyle experiences.

In May 2026, DJ Brightstar further strengthened his growing reputation after headlining both the “Heineken House Experience” and the “Heineken UCL Finals” alongside major industry names including DJ Consequence, DJ Big N, DJ Dope Caesar, Shallipopi and Young Jonn.

These consistent appearances on high-profile stages have increasingly positioned him among the DJs shaping modern nightlife and entertainment culture in Nigeria.

Speaking on his growth, his manager, LouizA Williams, explained that DJ Brightstar’s success is the result of years of intentional positioning, discipline and consistency.

“People are beginning to see the visibility now, but Brightstar has spent years building this brand from the ground up. From radio to concerts, live performances, celebrity tours and premium brand events, the consistency has always been there. We are proud to see the industry recognizing the value and energy he brings to entertainment,” she stated.

She further added that the long-term vision is to position DJ Brightstar as not just a successful Nigerian DJ, but a globally recognized African entertainment brand capable of commanding international stages and premium entertainment experiences.

As Nigeria’s entertainment industry continues to evolve, conversations around the country’s most influential DJs are no longer based only on popularity, but also consistency, cultural relevance, live performance quality, audience engagement and brand value.

By those standards, DJ Brightstar has undoubtedly earned his place among the Top 10 DJs in Lagos and Nigeria.

Nigerian celebrity disc jockey, DJ Brightstar, continues to strengthen his position as one of the country’s most sought-after DJs after headlining two major Heineken events in Lagos alongside some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry.

On May 9th, 2026, DJ Brightstar headlined the first edition of the “Heineken House Experience”, a premium nightlife and music event that brought together top DJs, artists and entertainment lovers for an unforgettable experience.

The event featured performances and appearances from industry heavyweights including DJ Consequence, DJ Dope Caesar, Shallipopi, Young Jonn and other notable entertainers, with DJ Brightstar delivering one of the standout performances of the night.

The momentum continued on May 30th, 2026, as DJ Brightstar once again headlined the highly anticipated “Heineken UCL Finals” event alongside DJ Big N and DJ Dope Caesar.

The event, which celebrated the UEFA Champions League Finals, attracted a massive audience of music lovers, football fans and nightlife enthusiasts, further cementing DJ Brightstar’s growing reputation within Nigeria’s entertainment and nightlife scene.

Known for his energetic performances, crowd control and ability to connect different sounds and audiences together, DJ Brightstar has continued to build consistency within the Nigerian entertainment industry while expanding his visibility across major brands and premium events.

Speaking on the recent milestone, DJ Brightstar’s manager, Louiza Williams, expressed excitement over the growth and consistency of the brand over the past few years.

“We are thrilled with the level of growth DJ Brightstar has experienced over the years. Watching the brand evolve from regular performances to becoming a recurring name on premium entertainment platforms and major brand events is something we are very proud of,” she stated.

She further added that the focus remains on building DJ Brightstar into a globally recognized entertainment brand through consistency, strategic positioning and high-level performances.

“With back-to-back appearances at major Heineken events, it shows the industry is paying attention to the work, energy and value the brand brings to live entertainment experiences,” she added.

With back-to-back appearances at two major Heineken events within the same month, industry observers believe DJ Brightstar is steadily positioning himself among the elite DJs shaping the sound and nightlife culture in Nigeria.

As his brand continues to grow, fans and entertainment stakeholders are already anticipating what comes next for the fast-rising disc jockey.

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.

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.
