A recent comment on X (formerly Twitter) labeled single mothers as “olosho” (a derogatory term for prostitutes), suggesting they became mothers while on duty. This remark is not just offensive but also perpetuates harmful stereotypes against single mothers, who often face unjust stigma.

Such comments can deeply hurt single mothers, affecting their self-esteem and their children’s well-being. For the commenter, the backlash can lead to account suspension and a damaged reputation. This incident highlights the need for responsible online communication—words carry weight, and it’s crucial to consider their impact before posting. Let’s use social media to support, not harm, others.
