Isaac Fayose, the younger brother of former Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose, has opened up about how aging has forced him to change his once lavish lifestyle.
Diaspora Digital Media (DDM) gathered that the outspoken businessman shared his reflections during a recent interview with Glitch Africa Studios, where he humorously lamented the “boring” adjustments he now has to make at the age of 52.
According to him, he has been medically advised to cut down significantly on alcohol and women, two things he said used to be central to his lifestyle and social spending.
Fayose admitted that, unlike his younger days when his money was spent freely on enjoyment, most of it now just sits untouched in his bank account.
He said the restrictions have taken the fun out of life and made things feel repetitive and dull.
The younger Fayose also revealed that he can no longer indulge in sugary treats due to health concerns linked to aging.
“At 52, they said I need to reduce my alcohol, reduce carrying women. Now my money just stays in the bank. It’s a boring life,” he said.
He added, “I can’t take so much sugar anymore because of my age.”
The short clip, which lasted less than a minute, has since gone viral on social media, sparking debates about lifestyle changes men often have to make as they get older.
While some users commended Fayose’s honesty, others poked fun at his struggles, with many interpreting it as a cautionary tale about excessive living in one’s youth.
Fayose is well known for his flamboyant lifestyle and social media presence, where he often shares personal insights and sometimes controversial takes on politics and society.
He has also repeatedly spoken about living in his brother’s political shadow and his desire to carve out his own identity in Nigeria’s social and business spaces.
The viral interview clip is from the timestamp 1:15:17 to 1:15:32 and is currently circulating across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and other platforms.
Fayose’s admission adds to the growing list of Nigerian public figures who have publicly acknowledged the realities of midlife transitions, especially in a society where such topics are often brushed aside.
