Nollywood actress, Bimbo Thomas has passed a strong message to those that believe that single mum lived a reckless and ended up with kids.
The Yoruba actress took to Instagram to let people know that being a single mum of one doesn’t mean she is or was a reckless woman.
“Not all single moms lived a reckless life, most were betrayed by men and circumstances. A lot of them are actually super heroes. Copy that. Stay home, stay safe,” she wrote.
The controversial post has since sparked off reactions from her colleagues and fans. While many agreed with her post, others felt it was just an excuse to justify the growing number of single moms in the country.
The ‘Omo Ghetto’ star was never shy to flaunt her baby bump during her pregnancy. Many wondered why she has kept the identity of the baby’s father a secret.
In a chat with Sunday Scoop, she had this to say “I have never been used to flaunting my relationship online. I believe in keeping my life private because my career is already out there.
“I have a son who seems to have also picked the social media aspect of me. I try to steer clear of everything that is not meant to be out here. I have been very blessed to have a man that understands me and he doesn’t want to be out there. I have never met an insecure man who wants me to show him off to prove my love.”
Thomas also opined that celebrities who need validation from anyone, especially their fans, probably didn’t work for the fame they are enjoying.
She said, “I don’t want to say that all celebrities seek validation from fans because before there was social media or globalisation, celebrities had been living fulfilled and happy lives.
“And some of those celebrities are still around, even in this age of social media. I think it’s the present-day celebrities that don’t understand what fame is.
