We are so loving this Nigerian mom who took to social media to explain what made her take down her daughter’s pictures from social media.
According to Instagram user, Adetoro Adeyemi @prettytoro, she had had taken down the pictures after being told that not only would her baby’s pictures mislead potential suitors into thinking she’s married, but also because men aren’t necessarily attracted to single moms.
However, Adetoro made a big discovery soon after – that self-improvement is more important than attracting a man. She says: “The goal was to work on myself first, get better so a man will become an added advantage later.”
She declares her love for daughter and says admits she “will love if any man eyeing me on here just accepts us together.”
She also has a word for would-be suitors: “if you are seeing this, I’m sorry I couldn’t resist putting up my baby. She is too adorable.”
And ends her post on a positive note:
“So, here is cheers to our 2018. We go blow. I will make you (daughter) proud and I am proud of you, and that’s why you will never be hidden by me because you are a Star.”

“Days later I started getting messages: Toro, is this still ur page? Were you hacked? Is it now a business page alone?
“But 1 thing I now know is, it was not even about a man. The goal was to work on me first, get better so a man will become an added advantage later.
“2018 happy you are finally here with so much hope and positive vibes to align with my faith that you will be the change in tune I need in my life. Behind all the plenty cute happy snaps there was this pain in my heart – this anger, this hurt. I made too many mistakes out of anger. I have learnt forgiveness is key and to cut off whatever.
