MI Abaga and wife speak on struggles with attention disorder

Published

on

Jude ‘MI’ Abaga, the ace rapper, and Eniola Mafe, his wife, have opened up on their struggles with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) as a couple.

ADHD is a condition that includes attention difficulty, hyperactivity, and impulsiveness. It often begins in childhood and can remain till adulthood.

It can cause low-self esteem, unstable and difficulty with social relationships.

Speaking on the Aproko Doctor podcast, the couple said one way they have been able to fight ADHD is through “building the habit of communicating and understanding”.

The rapper and his wife said they had a conversation and came to the realization “we were both ADHD.”

Eniola said she had been diagnosed since she was 19, adding that it “affected me when I was in school”.

Eniola added that her husband has to “always fight through the noise in my head” whenever they are having a conversation.

“It’s not this thing you can cut out. Its actually who you are. It is actually how you think, accept the world, rejection, and everything,” Eniola said.

“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.”

On his part, Jude said he discovered his condition while in school but “I still couldn’t connect the two dots together.”

He said ADHD helps him in two ways; it makes him creative and also to “want to understand the most”.

“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,” MI said.

“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.”

Ex-model, Victoria Valentino, sues Bill Cosby for 1969 sexual assault

A former model, Victoria Valentino, has filed a sexual lawsuit against comedian Bill Cosby, alleging Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted her in 1969.

In her lawsuit, she said she met the actor in 1969 while she was an actress and singer.

According to her, they, however, later ran into each other at a Los Angeles restaurant and Cosby came over to say hello after spotting her in tears over the recent drowning death of her 6-year-old son. Later that day he gave her a pill,

“Here! Take this! ” It will make you feel better. It will make us ALL feel better,” she alleged that Cosby told her.

Her lawsuit was filed on Thursday in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

The lawsuit is possible because of a new California law that lifts the statute of limitations for civil sexual abuse cases.

However, a representative for Cosby, Andrew Wyatt, criticised the new law in a statement, Fox News reports.

“Victoria Valentino has skirted from town to town, promoting her alleged allegations against Mr. Cosby to anyone that would give her platform, without any proof or facts. It’s unfortunate that media has not vetted the inconsistencies in her many statements.”

“However, it’s more deeply disturbing and disappointing that our lawmakers would push forward these ‘Look Back Windows,’ which are a sheer violation of all Americans’ constitutional rights,” he added.

“Statutes of Limitations reside in the Constitution, in order to protect those who are victims of a crime and to protect those that are accused of a crime. Unfortunately, these ‘Look Back Windows’ are brought to life because our political figures are being driven by click-baiters, likes and followers, in order to excel to their political aspirations.”

“What graveyard can Mr. Cosby visit, in order to dig up potential witnesses to testify on his behalf? America is continuing to see that this is a formula to make sure that no more Black Men in America accumulate the American Dream that was secured by Mr. Cosby.”
