On what inspired her to into relationship business, Chiddie narrated her story. speaks on the inspiration behind Chotyah, “I got rejected many times with excuses like, ‘You earn too much,’ ‘A woman shouldn’t earn more than a man’. ‘You are too boyish, Too ambitious’. ‘Your job exposes you and makes you travel too much’ and ‘you won’t make a good wife’. ‘A successful woman will never respect a man’.
“At one point, I was told by some Pastors and relatives that I had a spiritual problem. You can imagine. After praying so much and the cycle kept repeating, I decided to try alternative methods”.
“First, I tried to use some Western dating sites like E-harmony and Match.com. But they always rejected my application as I was a Nigerian. I also tried to hire a matchmaker in the USA then, but she didn’t work with people outside the USA”.
“So, I decided to go on my own. That experience made me start reading and exploring what makes relationships work. I also got a relationship coach, started studying serial men and women who always seemed to have lots of attention from their love interest, took everything I learnt and crafted my own strategy to find my man. It took me about 8/9 months to find my man and no more heart breaks. My friends who knew about all my negative experiences started using the same formula and it worked for them.I became passionate building love after I experience several failed relationship”.
“And every day, I see so many people like me going through the same challenges that I went through; successful high-flying people who have succeeded everywhere but seem they are not able to succeed in the love department”.
“I then decided to go study matchmaking in the UK and between Coaching in New York. My husband is a Behavioral Change Expert & Therapist. We decided to join our passion and expertise to give birth to Chotayah.”
