A single mother cannot raise a man properly, you need a male influence – Jim Iyke
Nollywood star, Jim Iyke has stirred controversy with his recent remarks about single parenting.
Speaking in an interview with Okay 101.7 FM in Accra, Ghana, the actor asserted that a single mother cannot raise a boy to become a “proper man” without the influence of a male figure.
According to him, the presence and guidance of a man are essential in shaping boys into responsible men.
He said; ”A woman can’t raise a man. You can’t, you’re not built for it. A single mother cannot raise a man properly. You need a male influence – go get your brother that’s doing well or your father or even any man that you trust. There has to be a male presence in it [raising a boy child].
“Because women are naturally built to nurture, to love. And then what you’re going to raise is a very weak man? He is going to be everything like the men that left you. You need somebody that would discipline him, tell him ‘No’ as often times as possible, and put him in the grind,” he expressed.
