Legendary Nigerian rapper Jude Abaga and his entrepreneur wife Eniola Mafe were recently hosted on the Aproko Doctor podcast, where the couple revealed that they have both been battling with ADHD. Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a condition that affects people’s behaviour. People with ADHD can seem restless, may have trouble concentrating and may act on impulse.
Mafe said she was diagnosed at 19 and the medical condition affected her when she was in school.
She said, “It’s not this thing you can cut out. It’s actually who you are. It is actually how you think, accept the world, rejection, and everything.”
”It was for me realising that all the things that didn’t seem to make sense about me. It affected me in school. My inability to gather thoughts.”
“For me, my childhood was just that I loved music. It was tough for me to read in class, probably because I wasn’t paying attention. If I was really interested in something art, I will be excelling really well, while my school was suffering for it.” Said the multiple award-winning emcee.

“By the time I went to college, I figured out that the ADHD thing was me and I still couldn’t connect the two dots together. I think the first time that I really got a sense of how much it can control a person was in our relationship, when Eni would explain, and I googled it and it was almost like a weight off my shoulder. I can look back at some of those things differently now that it was always going to be part of my journey in life.”
“To me, it’s both the thing that has given me so much, because it is where I go to like create and at the same time it’s the part of me that I want to understand the most,” he concluded.
