Jim Iyke’s claim that single mothers can’t raise boys into proper men sparked strong reactions. While many opposed with examples of successful men raised by single moms, one comment agreed, saying: “Sad but true. My mom did a great job but I knew I would have been a better man if my dad was alive. Single moms can’t raise a man, never.” This statement unfairly undermines the sacrifices of countless single mothers. While a father figure is valuable, it doesn’t mean a boy cannot grow into a strong, responsible man without one. Character is built on love, guidance, values, and community—not just the presence of a dad.
