Semen donor ordered by court to stop after fathering 550 children

A Dutch court has ordered a sperm donor, Jonathan M. who is suspected of being the biological father of over 550 children to cease all further donations.

The mother of one of the purported offspring and a nonprofit safeguarding the rights of donor children have filed lawsuits against him as a result of the recent fertility crisis that has shocked the Netherlands.

Jonathan was revealed to have fathered between 550 and 600 children since he started sperm donation in 2007, despite Dutch professional standards stating that a donor should not father more than 25 children within 12 households.

Judge Thera Hesselink said on Friday, therefore, “prohibits the defendant from donating his semen to new prospective parents after the issuing of this judgement.

With the wish that he was willing to donate semen… advertise his services to prospective parents or join any organisation that establishes contact between prospective parents.

Should he continue with his donations, he would face a 100,000-euro ($110,000) fine for every transgression, as well as additional fines,” the court ruled.

The mother of one of the litigated children, Eva, expressed appreciation to the court for stopping the man’s widespread sperm giving.

“Mass donations have spread like wildfire to other countries. I’m asking the donor to respect our interests and to accept the verdict because our children deserve to be left alone,” she said in a statement.

The “Electricity” crooner, who made this revelation on a recent episode of the F&S Uncensored audiovisual podcast, said that he borrowed the clothes from his colleague, Adekunle Gold.

Upon arrival, Pheelz called Adekunle Gold, who was also in London for the concert, and borrowed his cloth for the performance.

“I talked to Bhadest [Davido], David my visa don comot. He was like, Bro if you can take the next flight to London, take it. So, I pulled up.

The same cloth I wore to the visa office. I didn’t even pack my bags or anything. As I landed in London, I knew that AG [Adekunle Gold] was there, I hit up AG like, Bro, come to save me.

“If you look at the pictures from that show, my hair was rough. I didn’t even get a haircut. My trousers was, like, short because that was AG’s cloth. I took clothes from AG.” He said.

Popular Nollywood actor, Kunle Remi has spoken up about being left out of the nominations for the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) 2023 despite his lead role in the movie, Anikulapo.

Recall that during the 2023 edition of the AMVCA event, Anikulapo received 16 nominations in 15 categories but Kunle made none.

Addressing the issue during an interview on the TV show ‘Your View’, Kunle Remi stated that the snub did not affect his worth or fame.

“I fall into the category of the none nominated artists, it is a new category. It is not my show, its their show. I like the fact that the world spoke, people spoke but we can’t have the answers to that, only them have the answers. But for me it doesn’t reduce my value, it doesn’t make me less of a screen God.
Anikulapo which is what people were expecting still broke the record it broke, still number one watched language film next to Squid Game globally. I put in the work, I saw the efforts and I didn’t do that because of the award, I did it because it was a challenge and it is such a privilege to play that character and we would never forget Saro, I think that’s the greatest award.”

“Finding true love is harder than keeping it” – Yetunde Bakare

Popular Nollywood thespian, Yetunde Bakare has opined that It’s harder to retain real love after you discover it than to find it in the first place.

In a recent interview with Punch Saturday Beats, she discussed this and gave her views.

She claimed that individuals frequently determine their current relationships in light of their prior experiences, and when anything negative occurs, they quickly retreat in order to maintain their mental stability.

In her words,

“Finding true love is harder than keeping it. It is more complicated nowadays, because a lot of people have had bad experiences and they tend to withdraw easily in order to protect their peace and sanity.

I believe one needs to love, value and discover oneself before thinking of a healthy relationship.”

Speaking on people equating fame to happiness, she stated that it was not true because the rich also cry.

She said;

“That is not totally true, because the rich also cry. If one is a people pleaser, one will have a lot of breakdowns keeping up with fame.

When one is famous, the expectations from the public will be on the high side. People will hardly understand that one is human too.”

Her revelation elicited a barrage of reactions from social media users.

Reacting, an Instagram user wrote,

“Her extreme desire to make people “believe” she’s desirable or got the greatest sex appeal is a trauma response for feeling un-cherished & reprehensible in her prior years…she’s making scenarios in her head to create an illusion of “most wanted” 😂😂😂…I highly recommend therapy 😅”.

The problem with pathological liars is when you lie so much, a day will come when you really need people to come to your aid but they’ll think you’re still lying. Keep catching cruise until you really need help and say the truth but nobody listens.” Another user added.

US-based Nigerian man laments

A Nigerian attorney based in the United States has taken to Twitter to lament the downside of relocating abroad in search of greener pastures.

The man who goes by the handle @ike_obiora revealed that moving overseas has caused him to miss three major family events, including the funeral of his beloved grandmother who raised him and his two uncles.

According to the man who was reflecting on the disadvantages of relocating abroad, he is concerned that his children will miss out on the joys of bonding with their cousins and extended family.

US-based Nigerian man laments

He concluded by saying traveling out of Nigeria is good but it is costly.

Read his full post below,

“Japa! Japa! Japa! At what cost?

I was raised by my Grandma, she died 3yrs ago & I wasn’t there.

My Uncle died 2021, I wasn’t there. Another of my Uncle just died yesterday, and I won’t be there again.

I haven’t seen some of my nephews since their birth.

At what cost again? ☹️

I don’t even want to start counting important events in the lives of friends and family that I have missed.

To japa is good, no doubt, but at what cost exactly?

Families are separated for live only to reunite again at the burial of their parents, if all will be there.

I grew up bonding with my cousins at Grandma’s house. We will always be there for “Ụka Nne” celebration chanting “Nnem ife dị mma ka mụ ga-emere gị” song after overfeeding on ụkwa and Co. Christmas, New year and Easter celebrations are not left out too.

Now, everything is pointing towards me raising children who will never get to have that familial bonding & relationship with their cousins and other relations. Not because I want to, but because it is what it is.

The very thing that made us who we are, are eroded on daily basis.

Nigeria really needs to work. We can’t continue like this in perpetuity.”

The guy continued by saying that Dangote, whom Davido said in a Forbes interview that he used to purchase two automobiles every eight years, would be unhappy in the musician for disregarding the counsel offered to him.

b) Describe the Human Resource Planning process and show its relevance to the effectiveness of business strategy in an organization.

“Calling May should be more important” – Uche Maduagwu chides Judy Austin for mourning Yul and 1st wife’s late son

Nollywood actor, Uche Maduagwu has slammed Yul Edochie’s second wife, Judy Austin, over her social media post mourning his late son with his first wife, May.

Recall that on Thursday night, Judy Austin broke her silence on the death of her stepson, who died in March after he developed a seizure while playing football with his classmates at school.

In her first social media post since the incident, Judy paid tribute to late Kambilichukwu, describing him as a great son and stating that God knows best.

“God knows best. Rest in heaven with God, the great son. Kambi Yul-Edochie,” she wrote on Instagram.

However, her post elicited a barrage of reactions from social media users who opined that it was unnecessary since the mother of the late boy has repeatedly stated that she would never accept Judy’s marriage with her husband.

One of those who found the post insensitive was Nollywood actor Uche Maduagwu, and he took to his Instagram page to berate her.

According to him, what Judy should have done was reach out to May privately to condole with her rather than make a social media post.

His words,

“Aunty, this is so insensitive. Firstly, MAY has not accepted YUL POLYGAMY, meaning she never supported you. It would have been better to call MAY on the phone to comfort her or mourn YUL Pikin privately. Going out to make a post about her Pikin is INSENSITIVE. If indeed you consider yourself as a part of that family, then calling the Mama of the Pikin should be more important than making a post.”

An 8-year-old girl (name withheld) has reportedly tested positive for HIV after her mother’s boyfriend allegedly raped her.

The mother’s boyfriend, identified as Jude Chinedu, aka Ijiegbe, is alleged to have carnal knowledge of the minor in their house in Alegbor Community, Uvwie LGA of Delta State.

DailyTrust reports that copies of the medical tests showed that the woman and her daughter were infected with the dreaded disease.

“The suspect, who is a married man, has fled the area. The suspect is the boyfriend of the woman and had been squatting with her and her daughter. He has fled the house after it was discovered that he’s been having carnal knowledge of the little girl.

The police have mounted a manhunt for the suspect, who is from Anambra State. Each time the woman who sells pap goes out for hawking, the boyfriend will bathe the little girl and have sex with her.

He usually threatened to kill her if she told anyone about it. The mother noticed sudden changes in the child’s behavior and a smelly discharge from her body, and after several interrogations, she opened up that the suspect had raped her over and over, and when the woman confronted the suspect, he ran away from the house.” A source said.

The little girl was taken to the hospital for a medical checkup, where it was discovered that she had contracted HIV. The same test was conducted on the mother, who also tested positive.

The police are currently investigating the matter, as the boyfriend is currently at large.

Start making videos.’ He would just inspire me. He was even Muslim, but he would tell me to go to church and join the choir. He was my math teacher,” she said.
