Nollywood actor, James Ikechukwu Esomugha, better known as Jim Iyke, has argued that a single mother cannot effectively raise a male child on her own.
He made the assertion recently while featuring as a guest on Okay 101.7 FM, Accra, Ghana.
According to the thespian, a woman needs a male figure who can ensure her son is properly groomed.

He added that any woman who takes on the responsibility on her own, is likely to end up raising a “weak man“.
He further urged women who are not married or in a relationship to seek the help of their brothers or dads.
Speaking during the interview, Iyke 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.”
