What Jim Iyke said about single mothers

Nollywood actor James Ikechukwu Esomugha, also known as Jim Iyke, has claimed that single mothers cannot raise their boy child to be a “proper man.”

The actor said this in a radio interview with Okay 101.7 FM in Accra, Ghana. He claimed that women re not built to raise men.

Iyke also stated that for a boy to grow into a real man, he needs the presence of a male figure around.

“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 explained.
