    Your strength is unmatched, your love is unstoppable – Olayinka Solomon tells single mothers

    Nollywood actress and new mom Olayinka Solomon has shared a heartfelt and uplifting message with single mothers, acknowledging the immense challenges they face and the remarkable strength they possess.

    In a joint post with Mercy Aigbe, Solomon emphasized that raising children from different fathers is often a difficult and emotionally taxing experience, marked by struggle rather than peace.

    She noted that while any man can father a child, it takes a truly committed and responsible individual to stay and raise that child.

    Solomon highlighted the significant difference between “sperm donors” and real fathers, emphasizing that making a baby may be easy, but being a dedicated and involved parent is a much greater challenge.

    The Yoruba actress also acknowledged the heavy emotional burden that single mothers carry, as they strive to balance their emotions, manage expectations, and fight for stability.

    She praised their unmatched strength, unstoppable love, and selfless sacrifices, which are shaping a brighter future for their children. Solomon reminded single mothers that they are the backbone of their families, and that their tireless efforts are making a lasting impact on the lives of their children.

    Solomon shared:

    “No woman finds true happiness raising children by different fathers; it’s a journey often marked by struggle, not the peace we all seek.

    Any man can drop sperm and make a baby, but it takes a real one to stay and raise a child.

    Sperm donors are plenty, but real fathers are rare.

    Making a baby is easy. Sticking around to be a dad? That’s where boys get separated from men.

    A woman with children from different fathers carries a weight few can see – balancing emotions, expectations, and the constant fight for stability.

    To every single mother holding it down—your strength is unmatched, your love is unstoppable, and your sacrifices are shaping a brighter future.

    Behind every strong child is a single mother who gave everything, even when she felt she had nothing left…”.
