Renowned Yoruba actress, Lola Idije, has candidly shared her experiences as a single mother in a heartfelt discussion.
In a recent conversation with Ayo Adesanya, another celebrated actress, Lola shed light on the struggles of single parenting.
She emphasized, in Yoruba, that the journey of raising children alone is far from simple. It’s laden with constant hurdles and emotional strain, particularly when lacking a partner’s support.
Lola detailed the immense burden single parents face, handling everything from educational expenses to daily necessities on their own. She lamented that while many offer assistance, such promises often remain unfulfilled.
The actress didn’t shy away from addressing deeper issues. She pointed out that many men lack earnest intentions, often approaching relationships as mere challenges or bets among peers.
She also criticized the disrespectful attitudes some men hold toward actresses, assuming that a small amount of money can win them over.
Lola urged women to exercise caution, advising them to be wary of placing trust in others. She expressed frustration at those who choose to flaunt their wealth rather than lend a helping hand to struggling parents.
Despite the overwhelming obstacles, she acknowledged the resilience of single mothers who continue to persevere, driven by their love for their children.
