Nigerian Nollywood star Jim Iyke asserts that a single mother is unable to raise a boy into a “proper man.”

He believes that a woman requires the support of a male figure to effectively raise a man. Iyke shared his views during a recent interview with Okay 101.7 FM in 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 stated.
