International Runway Star Joy Ubeku Redefines Luxury with Launch of Jevi Couture
International Runway Star Joy Ubeku Redefines Luxury with Launch of Jevi Couture
…From Catwalk to Couture: Joy Ubeku Honoured as Emerging Designer of the Year
After more than a decade commanding global runways, international model and actress Joy Ubeku is stepping into a new era—this time, not as the muse, but as the creator.
Ubeku has officially launched Jevi Couture, a haute couture fashion house built on an uncompromising philosophy that challenges the dominance of mass production in today’s fashion industry.
The announcement marks a bold pivot for the award-winning model, who has graced fashion capitals including Milan, Dubai, and Seychelles. Now serving as Founder and CEO, she is bringing her industry experience to bear with a disruptive vision she calls “One Piece at a Time.”
“Jevi Couture is not merely a fashion label,” Ubeku said. “It is a sanctuary for cultural legacy, personal storytelling, and artisanal independence.”
Rising Designer, Recognised Excellence
Her transition into design is already earning industry recognition. Ubeku was recently honoured with the Special Recognition Award as Emerging Fashion Designer of the Year at the Nigerian Women Achievers Awards 2026, held at the Oriental Hotel in Victoria Island, Lagos.
This latest honour adds to her growing list of accolades, including:
Best Star Model of the Year West Africa (2023)
Best Zikomo Fashion Model of the Year (2023)
The Jevi Philosophy: Rarity Over Replication
At the heart of Jevi Couture is a firm rejection of fast fashion. Instead, the brand is anchored on three defining principles:
One-of-One Creations: Each piece is uniquely crafted and never reproduced, ensuring total exclusivity.
Bespoke Craftsmanship: From concept to completion, every garment is meticulously handmade using premium materials.
Cultural Storytelling: Designs fuse ancestral heritage with contemporary aesthetics, transforming fashion into a narrative medium.
By personally overseeing every creation, Ubeku positions Jevi Couture as a destination for clients who value identity, rarity, and artistic depth over trend-driven consumption.
Redefining the Luxury Conversation
In an industry driven by speed and scale, Jevi Couture introduces a slower, more intentional approach—one that reframes fashion as an intimate dialogue between the wearer and their story.
With a growing digital presence across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook under @Jevicouture, the brand is already attracting attention from a new generation of luxury consumers seeking authenticity over uniformity.
Jevi Couture: One Piece. One Story. Yours Alone.

Oduduwa Integrity Association Announces Adoption of Governor Ademola Adeleke as “Performing Governor” in the Southwest*
*Osun State, Nigeria* – The Oduduwa Integrity Association, one of the prominent socio-cultural and advocacy groups in the Southwest region, has announced its decision to adopt and publicly recognize Governor Ademola Adeleke of Osun State as a performing governor in the Southwest.

It added that the move is part of its broader initiative to highlight and support public officials across the Southwest who meet its standards for transparency, service delivery, and integrity.
Governor Adeleke’s administration has been marked by policy focus on infrastructural renewal, payment of salary arrears, and investment in grassroots development since assuming office. The Oduduwa Integrity Association said it will continue to monitor and document these efforts as part of its civic oversight role.
The formal adoption ceremony and presentation of recognition materials are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.

The women wing of the Ede Descendants Union has donated 42 bedsheets and 44 pillow cases to Cottage Hospital, Ede, in Osun State, as part of activities marking preparations for AjilalaOso Day 2026.
The donation was aimed at supporting healthcare services at the hospital while also demonstrating the union’s commitment to community development and humanitarian service.
Members of the union said the gesture formed part of efforts to give back to society and contribute meaningfully to the wellbeing of patients receiving treatment at the health facility.
Speaking during the presentation, the leader of the women wing, Mrs Silifat Shittu, described the initiative as a reflection of the values of compassion, unity and service which AjilalaOso Day represents.
She noted that the annual cultural celebration is not only about showcasing the rich heritage of Ede but also about promoting development-oriented projects capable of impacting lives positively.
The group further urged individuals, organisations and stakeholders in Edeland to continue supporting community-based initiatives aimed at improving the welfare of residents.
Speaking on behalf of the hospital management, the Chief Medical Officer, Dr Isiaka Alade, appreciated the women group for the donation, describing the items as timely and beneficial to patients and the hospital environment.
Chairman of the AjilalaOso Day 2026 Planning Committee, Prince Adewale Laoye while addressing the gathering appealed to other well-meaning individuals and organisations to extend similar gestures to the hospital, noting that some roofing sections of the facility require urgent repairs.
He also commended the women wing of the union for the initiative and support shown to Cottage Hospital.
Prince Laoye, who spoke extensively on the objectives of the AjilalaOso festival, explained that the annual celebration would not only be about funfair and merriment but would also focus on touching the lives of the needy through impactful community projects.
According to him,“We also want associations to have a project executed in Ede every year, such as what the women wing of EDU has done today.”

Primate Ayodele’s Fulfilled Prophecies On Attacks In Abuja, Ekiti State (VIDEOS)
Primate Ayodele’s Fulfilled Prophecies On Attacks In Abuja, Ekiti State (VIDEOS)
The DSS, Nigerian military, police and every security formation in Nigeria have failed the citizens in carrying out their duties. We keep on hearing of kidnap attacks and the death of kidnap victims, yet there has been nothing tangible to curb their influx.
In most cases, these attacks happen because there is little or no information before the attacks, but in this case, our security operatives had enough information made available by Nigerian prophet, Primate Elijah Ayodele, which they chose to ignore.
The reason Primate Ayodele is always vocal about these attacks and ensures he shares them beforehand is so they can have ample time to tackle the danger that lies ahead, but these security operatives largely ignore the warnings at the detriment of the lives of Nigerian citizens.
In Ekiti, the Vice Chairman of Ilejemeje Local Government Area of Ekiti State, Grace Ogunleye, has reportedly been abducted by gunmen.
Sources said Ogunleye was kidnapped along the Ipere–Iludun Ekiti road while returning from official duties on Wednesday.
Confirming the development in a statement, Director of Information and Civic Orientation for Ilejemeje local government, Falade Sunday, said security agencies had been alerted, and efforts were ongoing to rescue her.
Although she has been rescued by security operatives, the fact that the incident happened means these operatives don’t take note of prophetic warnings.
Primate Ayodele, in a prophetic warning just two days ago, revealed that kidnappers will start operations very soon in certain states, including Ekiti state.
“I had warned that there are kidnappers in Oyo, Ekiti, Osun, Ondo, and part of Lagos. They will start operation soon. Our security operatives don’t know what divinity is, and this is why Tinubu will be angry with security chiefs and may remove them.” This has been fulfilled.

Likewise, there is fear among residents of the Kuntun Bokun area of the Paze axis of Kubwa, Bwari Area Council, Abuja, following a kidnapping incident.
DAILY POST gathered on Wednesday that the gunmen had, on May 5, invaded the community, shooting sporadically to scare residents before carrying out the attack.
Residents, who spoke with our correspondent, said the incident started around 11:40 pm after several gunshots suddenly echoed across the area.
During the attack, a man was taken away by the gunmen, while a young man who sustained gunshot injuries is still receiving treatment.
Residents said the attackers moved through the area on foot without motorcycles or vehicles.
In a separate prophecy, Primate Ayodele warned that bandits will invade some states,s including Abuja.
These were his words:
“Bandits will invade Ondo state, Kano, Taraba, and even Abuja and Sokoto. Bandits want to take over certain places, and even churches will not escape. Fromm Palm Sunday to June, let them watch these places.”
