“A single mother cannot raise a boy properly. He needs a male influence” – Jim Iyke

Veteran Nollywood actor, Jim Iyke explains why he believes that a single mother cannot raise a male child into a man.

He stated this during a recent interview with Okay 101.7 FM, Accra, Ghana.

According to him, a woman isn’t built with the necessities to raise a boy into a man.

Iyke insisted that a boy child needs a male influence to shape him into a man.

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”
