Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has declared herself the president general of the Single Mothers’ Association, a move she announced at a recent birthday party for fellow actress Lola Alao. The declaration was captured in a video that has since gone viral on social media platforms.

In the video, Iyabo Ojo emphasized the changing perceptions surrounding single mothers, stating that the stigma associated with being a single mother is fading. She highlighted the achievements of children raised by single mothers, noting that they are now making significant contributions to society.

Iyabo Ojo also touched on the shift in societal attitudes towards single mothers, observing that men are now more likely to pursue them as potential wives rather than viewing them as unsuitable partners. This change, she suggested, is due in part to the experience and independence that single mothers often possess.

The actress’s announcement has sparked interest in the role and recognition of single mothers in Nigerian society. As a public figure, Iyabo Ojo’s declaration may help to further normalize the experience of single motherhood and promote greater understanding and acceptance.

In recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the challenges and contributions of single mothers in Nigeria. Efforts to support and empower single mothers have been underway, with various initiatives aiming to provide them with access to resources, education, and economic opportunities.

Iyabo Ojo’s declaration as president general of the Single Mothers’ Association may be seen as a symbolic gesture of solidarity and advocacy for this group. As a prominent figure in the Nigerian entertainment industry, her statement may help to raise awareness and promote discussion around the issues faced by single mothers. The development is likely to be followed with interest, as it may mark a new direction in the public discourse surrounding single motherhood in Nigeria.
