‘Single mother cannot raise a man properly’ – Jim Iyke claims

 

Nigerian Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke, has claimed that a single mother cannot raise a boy into a “proper man.”

He argued that a woman needs the assistance of a male figure to raise a man properly.

Iyke made the claim during a recent interview with Okay 101.7 FM, Accra, Ghana. “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.
