Actress Iyabo Ojo Makes Case for Single Mothers

Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, has spoken on the changing perception of single motherhood, saying many men now want serious relationships with single mothers rather than treating them as side partners.

According to the actress, being a single mother is no longer seen as a stigma, as many women in that category and their children are doing well in different areas of life.

She noted that unlike in the past, some men now actively seek relationships with single mothers because of their maturity and life experience.

She added that many of these men make their intentions clear, insisting on marriage.

Iyabo Ojo encouraged women not to feel discouraged after a failed relationship, saying another partner would be willing to accept and love them.

Declaring herself the “President General of the Single Mothers Association,” the actress urged single mothers to embrace confidence, resilience, and self-worth, and not to feel ashamed of their status.

“Gone are the days that being a single mother was a stigma. Single mothers’ children are doing great things in life. Men are chasing single mothers. They are even begging us that they don’t want us to be a side chick. They want us to marry them because we have experience. If a man leaves you, another man will accept you. I am The President General of the Single Mothers Association,” she said.
