We failed our country,” says Momodu after Fayose’s remarks on poor families.
Chief Dele Momodu, a prominent journalist and publisher, has strongly criticized former Ekiti State Governor Ayo Fayose over his recent comments about poor men with multiple wives and children. Fayose, in a Channels TV interview, argued that such family structures, particularly in the North, impede Nigeria’s development.
In response, Momodu challenged Fayose’s perspective by questioning who is truly more harmful to the nation: the impoverished man with numerous dependents or the politician who squanders public funds on luxury and high-maintenance relationships.
Momodu’s critique highlighted a contrast between the poor man’s contributions to society through agriculture and the alleged misuse of public resources by politicians. He called for a collective acknowledgment of the failures affecting Nigeria and emphasized the need for a fundamental change rather than assigning blame.
In his message, Momodu urged a reflective and corrective approach, stating, “We cannot afford the blame games at this perilous time” and called for forgiveness and reform.

Telegram's Durov Discusses Having 100 Kids While Single
Telegram’s Durov Discusses Having 100 Kids While Single”.
Pavel Durov, the 39-year-old founder and CEO of Telegram, recently shared an extraordinary personal story about his contributions to helping couples worldwide. In a video posted on his popular Telegram channel on July 29, Durov revealed that he has fathered over 100 biological children, despite being unmarried and preferring a solitary lifestyle.
Fifteen years ago, Durov was approached by a friend who was struggling with fertility issues and asked if he would donate sperm at a clinic. Durov initially found the request amusing but eventually agreed, driven by the clinic’s urgent need for “high-quality donor material.” This decision led to his sperm being used in over a dozen countries, resulting in more than 100 children being born.
Durov disclosed that even after he stopped donating sperm, some of his frozen sperm remains available at IVF clinics for anonymous use. He expressed a willingness to open-source his DNA to help his biological children find him, despite acknowledging the potential risks involved.
He emphasized the global shortage of healthy sperm and encouraged other healthy men to consider sperm donation to assist families struggling with infertility. Durov’s unique situation highlights both the personal and broader social impact of sperm donation, reflecting his commitment to addressing a significant reproductive health issue.
Durov, originally from Russia but now based in the UAE, is recognized as a leading entrepreneur and was named the richest expatriate in the UAE by Forbes in 2022. He was also honored as the most powerful entrepreneur in Dubai by Arabian Business in early 2023.

Arik Air’s fleet has been grounded due to a controversial $2.5 million debt owed to Atlas Petroleum International Ltd., following a court order. The Nigeria Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) enforced the grounding based on an order from the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court, which had attached Arik’s aircraft as part of the debt recovery process. The court’s action stems from a long-standing legal battle, with Arik losing appeals up to the Supreme Court.
In response, Arik Air’s CEO, Roy Ilegbodu, criticized Aviation Minister Festus Keyamo for the sudden decision, calling it “disastrous” and “unjust.” He argued that the grounding disregards ongoing judicial processes and harms the public by disrupting essential air services. Ilegbodu called for the grounding order to be lifted to allow the airline to continue operating while the legal issues are resolved.
