Our Story

Built From Personal Experience

The story behind Hamboi Mindcare

AH

Abiodun Abdul Hameed

Founder & Creator of Hamboi Mindcare

Young Nigerian Entrepreneur

HAMBOI stands for:

Hope And Mind Balance: Ongoing Improvement

"My name is Abiodun Abdul Hameed, and I'm a teenager from Nigeria. Hamboi Mindcare wasn't born in a boardroom or a tech lab — it was born from the pain my family and I have experienced firsthand."

Growing up, I watched my mum and my brother struggle with mental health challenges. I saw how mental abuse affected them — the sleepless nights, the silent tears, the feeling of being alone even in a room full of people. And I felt it too.

In Nigeria, and in many parts of the world, mental health isn't something people talk about openly. There's stigma. There's shame. There's silence. And for teenagers like me, there's often nowhere to turn when the weight of the world feels too heavy.

"I created Hamboi Mindcare because I wanted to build the friend I wished I had during my darkest moments — someone who would listen without judgment, who would be there at 3 AM, and who would remind me that my feelings are valid."

My mum inspired me to be strong. My brother showed me that asking for help isn't weakness — it's courage. Together, they pushed me to turn our pain into purpose.

Hamboi Mindcare is my way of saying to every teenager out there: "You're not alone. Your mental health matters. And there's always someone — or something — ready to listen."
