Nollywood actress and filmmaker Iyabo Ojo has sparked a lively debate online after claiming that men are increasingly chasing single mothers.
Speaking at fellow actress Lola Alao’s birthday party, Ojo, who calls herself the ‘President General of the Single Mothers Association,’ said the stigma once associated with single motherhood has faded.
“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 not to be side chicks. 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.
The statement quickly went viral, triggering mixed reactions from social media users. Some defended Ojo’s perspective, while others criticised her comments and questioned the example she sets, especially regarding her own family.
The conversation online illustrates the divided opinions surrounding Ojo’s statement. While some social media users applauded her confidence and perspective, others questioned her personal example and warned that her advice may not suit all single mothers or young women navigating relationships.
