    Single mothers can’t raise boys properly, not really – Jim Iyke

    Published on

    Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke, has stirred a bit of controversy after sharing his opinion about single mothers, stating that they cannot raise boys properly.

    He declared, “A woman can’t raise a man, they’re not built for it. A single mother cannot raise men properly.”

    You need a man that you trust and there has to be a male presence because women are naturally built to nurture, to love. If you’re going to raise a man, he’s going to be everything like that man that left you. You need someone who would discipline him and teach him how to grind.

    Recalling an incident while on holiday in France with his son, the actor shared how he handled a situation where his son was bullied during a football game.

    I was at a beach at the side of France once with my son. He was playing with a bunch of kids and I think he got tired. He’s a terrible football player so they dribbled the hell out of him and took his ball. When he came back to me crying, I didn’t even act like I knew him and I told him to be a man. One of the mothers of the sons stepped aside to watch how I handled him, this is why you need a man.

    His comments have since sparked mixed reactions, with many arguing that single mothers are fully capable of raising well-rounded men.

    Recall that Jim Iyke, in a recent interview, described modern feminism as a crime. The 48-year-old also addressed the “double standards” he believes is the bane of the movement, affirming his strong disapproval of what he thinks it is: a two-faced approach to gender dynamics.
