We all need to have that mindset that single mothers in Nigeria are just like normal women and are not excluded from facing challenges in life.
There is a strong saying that life doesn’t always give us what we want.
I don’t think there is any man or woman who will pray for his or her relationship to end quickly.
You must have seen some people walking out of their relationships that have not even reached a year.
Well, the truth of the matter is that there is no man or woman who works out of a relationship without having a reason behind it.
Most time we tend to put the blame on female celebrities for ending their relationships.
I still believe that some Nigerian celebrities had to quit their relationships for one reason or the other.
These female celebrities who are also mothers have already moved on with their life. Most of them even put the needs of their kids first before theirs.
Akinblog respects these single mothers who are always ensuring that their kids have a brighter future without even thinking that they need to see their fathers.
Mercy Aigbe
This Edo state born actress is among the single mothers in Nigeria with two kids, Michelle and Justin.
The marriage between Mercy Aigbe and Lanre Gentry ended abruptly due to domestic violence.
The beautiful single mother who had decided to pick up the pieces of her life is now taking good care of her two lovely kids with any assistance from any man.
Even as a single mother, she still celebrates Father’s Day every year.
Before her second marriage to Lanre Gentry, the actress had already had a daughter, Michelle with her former lover.
Iyabo Ojo
Another Yoruba actress who was not lucky with true love has always been seen on Social media talking about her failed marriage and she has been a good single mother to her kids.
Few years back, Iyabo Ojo got married to a Lagos-based movie marketer at the age of 21. The couple welcomed two children (Felix Ojo and Priscilla Ajoke Ojo).
Unluckily, their relationship ended abruptly but this didn’t stop the beautiful actress from establishing a business empire which she named after her children, FesPris.
Presently, We haven’t seen the mother of two with any man but it seems that her children are more important than anything.
No wonder she was once said that her children are the main concern, not a man or husband.
Adunni Ade
Nollywood actress, Adunni Ade has been living her life as a single mother to two boys, D’Marion and Ayden.
She was born to a German Irish mother and a Nigerian father who comes from the Yorubaland.
The movie star revealed that She ended her relationship with her husband and chose to be a single mother.
She has always been seen putting her children first before anything.
Tonto Dikeh
The Nollywood diva had a messy split from her embattled husband, Olakunle Churchill in 2017. The duo has always taken to social media to accuse each other even though people are yet to detect the exact thing that ended their union.
Dikeh decided to act the role of both a mother and father to her son, King Andre, whom she had for her estranged husband in 2016.
Waje
Popular female singer, Waje is also among the list of single mothers in Nigeria who has a beautiful daughter, Emerald Iruobe. According to the beautiful mother, she got impregnated at the age of 17 and ever since then, she has been taking good care of herself and her lovely daughter.
Even though it was not actually clear who actually got her pregnant, the singer has been seen doing well in the music industry. She is a proud mother who takes good care of her beautiful daughter who resembles her.
Yvonne Jegede
Yvonne Jegede got married to her husband, Olakunle Fawole (popularly called Abounce) in 2017.
However, their marriage didn’t last up to two years before it crashed.
The marriage only produced a son, Xavier.
Abounce is also a fellow actor and the son of late veteran actress, Bukky Ajayi.
