Single Mothers Can’t Raise Men Properly – Jim Iyke

Actor Jim Iyke has claimed that a single mother is incapable of raising a boy into a “proper man.”

Speaking in an interview on Okay 101.7 FM, Accra, Ghana, Iyke said a woman needs the assistance of a male figure to raise a man properly.

He said women are naturally built to nurture and love, but may not provide the necessary discipline and guidance.

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.
