Nollywood actress Caroline Hutchings has spoken about single mother stigma in Nigeria.
The Nigerian actress explained that several people admonished her to hide her kids so that her prospective suitors would not abscond.
Hutchins, who was previously married to her influential husband, Musa Danjuma, was addressing single mothers and divorcees in a post on her official Instagram page on International Women’s Day.
The movie actress noted how the world often makes divorced women feel like they’re the problem and like they should carry the weight of it all.

Let the little boy RUN.
I am good
But here is my truth :
I am proudly the mother of three incredible children: 18, 17, and 11 years old, respectively. I will never hide or trade this divine gift of love from God for anyone.”
Further, she wrote, “My children are deeply loved and exceptionally cared for by their father in EVERY WAY, and for that I remain grateful.
Motherhood shaped me into the woman I am today. It taught me love beyond understanding, resilience without losing myself, forgiveness, strength, and grace.
Being called a mother is one of the greatest honours of my life.
And on International Women’s Day, this is my celebration. God trusted me to shepherd three beautiful souls through life.
I am blessed beyond words.
Motherhood is not my limitation; it is my greatest legacy.
Happy International Women’s Day to every woman out there.
We are conquerors”.
Caroline shares three kids with her ex-husband, Musa Danjuma. She married the younger brother of former Minister of Defence Theophilus Danjuma in 2007 and divorced in 2016.
