Celebrity stylist, Toyin Lawani, has hit back at a man who claimed that the majority of men will never settle for a single mother.
The debate began after Nollywood actress, Uche Ogbodo, who recently tied the knot with her young lover, Bobby Maris, urged single mothers not to give up on love while using herself as a role model.
She felt that God’s timing is the best and that the right person will find them in due time.
“Morning Motivation for my Single Ladies & Single Mothers gang who have given up hope ……. Gods Time is the Best , the right person is out there, he will find you when you ain’t even searching …. Just be yourself, work hard on yourself and leave your heart Open , Forgive who hurt you , Always Pray , and believe you will be ok.”, she wrote.
In response to Uche’s post, one Instagram user who had a conflicting opinion noted that 95% of men will never marry a single mother.
“Madam dat na your headache ooo I’m just telling you the raw fact 95 percent of men will not marry you and another man’s child …. Me inclusive. If I talk true my pant no go loss”, he wrote.
However, fashion designer, Toyin Lawani, contradicted the man that men will not settle for a single mother and shared her mother’s experience to back her point.
Toyin, who noted that many single mothers have men begging to marry them and adopt their children, said her mother had two children before her father married her.
Her parents had five children together in addition to the two whom her mother came into the marriage with, but she found a man who married her with all seven of her children after the relationship collapsed.
She claimed that a man who really loves a woman wholeheartedly will never think about her baggage.
