Sunmbo, the wife of Royalty Christian Centre’s founder David Adeoye, urged men not to treat single mothers as if they are “a disease.” Sunmbo, who had two sons with singer 2Baba before marrying David in 2013, shared her advice on Instagram. David had been married previously for 13 years without children before his first wife passed away in 2011. In her post, Sunmbo encouraged single parents seeking marriage to “trust God completely.”
She said being a single parent is “not a contagious spell”, adding that men are not unfortunate for helping their partner raise their children.
The mother-of-four said anyone who judges single parents does not “deserve” to marry them.
“Single motherhood is not a life threatening disease, neither is it a contagious spell,” she said.
“You don’t become unfortunate for loving her and supporting to raise her children. No! I just felt the need to encourage a single parent out here who desires a fresh start.
“If that person approaching you is judging you by the label, he/she does not deserve to marry you.
“Dear single parent, don’t be too bothered about the one that will be a parent, friend, and mentor to your kids.
“Don’t try to figure it out with your natural mind and calculations. God knows what they need for the task ahead and He will supply.
“Trust God absolutely and let Him be the one in charge of your marital destiny. Like God gave my boys a greatness mentor, God will surely answer your prayers over your kids too.”
In 2018, the couple welcomed their first child together. They had their second child in 2020.
