The people behind Hamboi
Built by teenagers who understand what teenagers go through.
How it started
Hamboi started with a question — why is it so hard to talk about how you feel? Abiodun built it because he wanted the friend he wished he had at 15. Not an app. Not a helpline. A space that actually gets you.
“We built Hamboi because we needed it too.”
Abiodun Abdulhameed Abolarinwa
Founder & Youth innovator
A young, smart and thoughtful researcher who built Hamboi because he wanted the friend he wished he had at 15. He owns the vision, the product, and every moment no one talks about — driven by curiosity, purpose, and a deep belief that teenagers deserve better.
Fareeah Bada

With a calm and open-minded approach, she values growth, originality, and continuous learning — and brings all of that to everything she builds at Hamboi.
