It really sucks what I'm going through, but I am still extremely excited for what we have in store in terms of Fluyo. We're eyeing either April or May for the start of the beta, and I'm just so happy with the team and what we've got cooking up, but it will take a bit of time, especially now with my health like how it is. But yeah, stepping aside and becoming less involved is definitely a punch in the stomach, but I do feel it will finally allow my body to rest more. In fact, over the last few weeks, I've become less involved and I can feel the difference in my body. It's not necessarily getting better, but I can feel it not being torn down, which is a shame to have a passion and a love that hurts your body, but it is what it is. We carry on, and I know whoever will replace me as CEO will be a boss and an amazing human being. And of course, I'll still be as involved as my body allows. 💪🐬
As for the CZcams channel, you guys can tell me in the comments to this comment what you think of this, but honestly, I would love to get someone who's a passionate polyglot who's great at making videos to make to be essentially a co-host or the main host of this channel until my health gets better and to make videos that I would have made for you guys under my direction like OG Ikenna-style videos... And I would love to appear in those videos. Obviously not for the entire video because I don't have the health for that. But maybe for two minutes at the end or three minutes in the beginning. Hell, I might even be able to use the Apple Vision Pro and have like a ghost-like avatar rhat doesn't require me to have to get ready and all done up to film. And that way at least instead of you guys seeing me every five months You'd probably be able to see me a little bit, but every week or two whenever host makes a video. Idk, thoughts, ideas?

Hey bro did u ever checked out as if someone did you magic to harm you? I recommend the islamic legit people to check as if you got magic and jinn posession of sort cuz people are evil to do that kind of thing in this day and age
Please try out the Wim Hof technique. Many people have been healed using it. Wishing you the best. 🙏
Itd be fun to see you review different languages and cultures with somebody, idk who tho
Please get better ❤️🩹 My prayers go out to you
Stay strong brother❤️, pray for you always 🙏❤
Hang in there, Ikenna. My Fiancée lives with Dysautonomia, and I see every day how hard it is. It's amazing to see how despite your body fighting you so hard, your passion has not diminished at all.
Your conviction, and your strength in the face of your circumstances are an inspiration to all who fight against chronic illness. Stay strong, and fight on!
It was probably a hard choice to make someone else become CEO especially when he was seeing his health improve...
I hate to see such a great person suffer while all we could do is watch and support you as much as we can. Stay strong ❤
Can't feel the same, by the looks of it he lives far better than me, even if i'm not disabled. People are gonna attack me, but i don't care.
@@Disorder2312 Living comfortably? He deserves living comfortably especially as much as he’s suffering now. Not to confirm your worry, but this sounds a little insensitive. He can’t even walk.
@@Disorder2312 Get tf out of here then. Why are you watching?
@@Disorder2312hey, I don’t know what you believe but disabled people need those accommodations to live. That’s not something to fight about so your comment doesn’t make much sense imo
@@Disorder2312disorder is the correct username for you. That's a really messed up thing to say. I'm pretty sure that he would prefer to be able to walk and not have fainting spells and not go through all the crap he's going through. If your life sucks so bad that a guy in a wheelchair has it better than you and not only are you privately bitter about it, but you have to leave a comment like that, I'm pretty sure there are some professionals you can talk to. I'm not even being flippant! There is something really wrong with that thinking process. Financially my life really sucks too, but it never occurred to me to be bitter, especially towards him.
I wish you all the best, man- you're an inspiration. Be well.
Your health is 100% the priority, no matter what though, you are the maker of Fluyo and the reason it is so looked forward to, CEO or not, you are it's creator and you are doing yourself a favor by just watching it evolve to your ideal vision!
Exactly right!💜💜💜💜
Unlikely,
Probably be some big changes if it comes out now at all. He didn't have a full staff so never passed on his direction.
Basically he got the money, and bailed out.
I'd imagine he took a share to cover medical costs and is now looking to dump the rest.
He used his image to pass off a pump and dump.
They are behind and annoucing long delays and they don't seem focused. IE doing part of multiple languages and again they don't even have staff and the creator is already out.
The medical stuff was always there. He waited until he passed one mile stone. Alpha. And it isn't even working for all backers.
I hope I'm wrong but thats
Glad to hear you're prioritising your health more, awful to hear it's gotten so bad. Praying for the day you'll have Fluyo back in your hands and your health at its peak. ❤
I'm heartbroken that this has happened and progressed throughout the years. You're the one who inspired me to learn Portuguese and Italian. Praying for your health!!
As someone with POTS I totally get the fatigue and frustration that comes with having so few spoons in a day or a week. I hope it gets better for you :)
Prayers are going your way, still can’t wait for Fluyo!! 🙏🏽
Prioritize your health man, especially mental health, I’ve seen the most physically healthy people decend to their lowest due to neglecting the mental, let alone your situation.
You are the major reason I am learning my 3rd language right now and it saddens me to see this situation you’re in.
Take as long a break possible, rest assured we WILL be here until you feel good enough to continue on this journey.
I feel I've said this before, but... It's okay to take a step back. I also have a bad habit of feeling like I need to do MORE or I don't feel "productive" or "efficient" enough. You are blessed to have a team of people around you who believe in your vision, and most importantly, who believe in YOU. Trust that someone who is capable and able to carry out your ideas will come. You are still the OWNER--it will always and forever be YOUR BABY. It's okay to need help and please don't feel any less because you're passing the keys to someone else.
Continue to focus on your health--that comes first. And know that we've got your back man! Take your time and no worries. 🤗
God bless bro. Focus on your health, take as long as you need to get better.
Wise decision Ikenna, but it must be hard. Nobody can replace you but I hope you find a strong CEO who shares your vision.
Have been following you online for around 8 years and you have inspired me in so many areas of my life - language learning, passion, having a vision and so much more. Will always root for you and hope there is light at the end of the tunnel for you soon. You're an amazing human being.
It hurts seeing such a passionate and amazing person like you suffer with health problems that mess with the realization of your dreams. But I believe you will push through this and in time Fluyo will be everything you want it to be and more. May you recover and achieve everything you desire. ♥
Hi! As a fellow person with long covid and also fluctuating symptoms, I have gone through both mager decline and recovery phases and I just want to share that long covid isn`t a linear process, our bodies hold more power than we think. Much much love to Ikenna and every one who reads this
Every so often you cross my mind and I come to check for an update, each time there is one. The fact you even take the time to keep us posted shows us how much you care. Your health comes first, no matter what. You will always be the face for Fluyo and we are rooting for you.
Ikenna, I am sorry sorry about your health and I sympathize. I, too, have unbelievable problems thanks to long covid and had to take an early retirement and am rarely able to go outside and do normal things anymore. I never realized that I was taking things like walking and breathing for granted. Let's not even talk about my mental state, my brains seem to be on a long hiatus. Though I am not as ill as you are, I am living the life of an 80 year old but I am only 55. I know it is so frustrating and I really feel for you. Just hang in there and take it one day at a time. ❤
Your health is the most important thing, and you’re making the correct decisions. Get better and come back stronger. We’re all rooting for you!
Only being able to work a few hours a week already puts you ahead of a lot of CEOs. I really do hope you get better one day.
😅😅
You've been such a huge inspiration to me Ikenna. You're only a few years older but you always seemed to embody exactly what I wanted to become with regard to passionately learning languages and keeping on top of fitness. You were only able to achieve those things, however, with the intense mental fortitude and perseverance that you possess. Things are not always easy, and may in fact be very hard most of the time, but I firmly believe that you have the power and will necessary to overcome. I look forward to the day of your revival, like a phoenix reborn destined for even greater things than before!
I vote Brenda! My guess is that she’s heard all your late night ideas, goals, etc with your company before its launch! Because the app is your baby, I can really imagine her treating it with care bc you’re her baby ❤ Wishing you steady recovery, mental and physical. We’re all here for you Ikenna! ❤
I second this idea !!
Yes she would be the best fit!!
@@itsmariaa18 She would be such a great fit! Even if it was her first time doing something like this, with Ikenna being her drive, I’m sure she’d really do her best and do genuine work for the company
Yes I agree with that
Nah she too focused on her own career / posting pictures on instagram with other rappers!
Also mixing business + relationship probs not great idea & he’d probably still feel responsible
We love you Ikenna!! We know you’re going to do what’s best and we trust the vision ‼️🤞🏾 Blessings
Bro it breaks my heart seeing you suffering like this. You have an amazing future and this illness has made u a a major step back. Just know we support you all the way!! Your amazing 👏
Wishing you well, Ikenna!!! Your enthusiasm for Fluyo has already insipired me so much as someone who has similar aspirations. Seeing you give it your all is beyond inspiring! I've got you in my mind and wishing you and your health the very best. I can only imagine how hard it must be to not only deal with the health complications, but recognize and accept that necessity to give up the CEO role, especially with how much of your life has been dedicated to this mission. Things will work out one way or another and you've got the support of many behind you. Power to you!!!!
❤Praying for you, Ikenna!! Thank you for all you’ve done to encourage language acquisition. I’m almost 1/3 of the way through Spanish because of you. Stay strong🙏❤
I may have not watched all your videos, but the way you are able to communicate with everyone with the love of your language has made me very happy and even helped my depression. You're strong and an amazing person. We're all here for you, Ikenna.
Still be hopeful, for sure! Been there, often return, but the whole thing with dysautonomia, ME, long covid, all that… is this fluid symptom bullshit. Better days will come, but I know being in a downswing is so frustrating. You’re doing great in coping, keep the faith, treatments are coming. Sending huge love.
It breaks my heart to see you held back by your physical health, especially because I can really see in all of your videos how driven you are and how much you want this. I know you'll do and are doing amazing things 🥰 I have EDS and POTS and recently have been in the hospital with influenza and at home on bed rest. I've been watching lots of language learning videos of yours and others while I've been unable to actually study much, and it's honestly been a great source of comfort.
I hope your health gets better soon too🫶🏼 u got this
Fluyo isn't the same if you're not here for it, so please take care of your health first! Sending you all the love
I get that you're going through a rough time health wise.
I can relate because my health has got worse too. It just
seems like people go through way too much - it's terrible.
I hope you're blessed with good health and recover.
We love you too Ikenna 💪 take care of yourself and good luck on the boss hunt 😎
Been following you for years, im super excited fluyo and i know you will excel despite roadblocks your wheels might face! ❤
Wishing the best for you. You’ve been a source of inspiration for me (a 20 year old and founder/student/creator) and are a large part of what I do.
Praying for you each day!
thank you for everything, you’re doing you’re a huge inspiration to me and i hope you get better as soon as possible!
In my eyes this is strength, you straight up worked yourself to the bone on this app, but didn't let it get the better of you. Take your time getting better Ikenna, your health is the priority for all of us and we'd hate to see your heath deteriorate for a (might I say pretty cool) app. Good luck with your treatment and I hope to get some better updates at some point in the future!
Don't give up, you were the reason why every time I start to give up trying to learn Japanese I will look at your video and I will get inspired to not give up so don't you give up. I wish you the best of health and hopefully you find the discover something that can help you some herb some new procedures, I believe there's something out there that can give you hope. I wish you the best of look in everything that you're doing including your new startup.
Sending so much love and healing vibes your way Ikenna. I remember coming across your videos in 2020 and your passion , your genuine expression and desire to learn and connect with others inspired me so much. I wish you nothing but well and hope to see your company top the app charts someday. Take care of you ❤🙏✨
This is both the correct decision for the health of your body and of Fluyo, while taking a great deal of bravery to be willing to do. Best of luck, proud of you as always!
Sending so much love. You are doing the right thing in terms of resting. Hope you get physical, cognitive and emotional rest, and that your health stops declining. Take care.
Hi there. I hope your strength rejoins you. Not sure if you're religious, but I will pray for you! I have PSVT, POTS, syncope.. My conditions are not as severe as yours, so I can only imagine. I'm happy your partner is supportive of you. I'm happy you have such a supporting audience. Keep your health as a priority
Hang in there Ikenna. Even though you’re not doing as much CEO wise, it’s still your vision and it’s gonna be seen to the end. You did a lot - allow yourself to recover. You’ll be back on the horse before you know it! ❤
I just watched your video with your dad and it was phenomenal! It really inspired me to push forward and keep trying to learn my heritage language. I pray you get better soon and your health is restored completely!
And - to your question for feedback - I think you have a unique channel and having someone to help with it is a great idea. We are praying you get well fast, and you need to keep it going so when you’re ready, it’s there for you again! Hope floats! 🙏🏻
Not sure if you need this reminder but -
Remember to love yourself as deeply as you can (even your soul if you believe in that) as you live day by day. We will always love and support you on the sidelines.
I still remember the fascination I had in high school couple of years ago at your video on learning french in 6 months. Just seeing someone break the boundary of learning a language was so inspiring and motivating enough for me to pursue it. You are one of my initial reasons for building this special appreciation I have for language. Keep strong and I wish the best.
You are so amazing and humble. Prayers and good vibes going your way. You're doing great. Godspeed friend.
I ran my health into the ground tryna push through n continue workin early 2015 to late 2016, spent early 2017 to early 2020 strugglin to find enough support to survive, then managed to speak at the Polyglot Conference late 2020, and started my polyglot Discord server right after.
Atp I think the only way I can participate in anythin is if I’m organizin it myself, like when I started schedulin VC chats in diff languages they were only 30mins cuz that’s as long as I could do; then when I could do an hr, we started doin an hr! It can take an extremely long time to recover, and I’m not great at pacing myself either, but it is possible to be involved at least a tiny bit, despite bein sick, esp if you’re able to delegate!
Like def take a step back n rest as much as you need, but I’m confident you’ll eventually be back in some capacity!
I'm so sorry to hear you're having health struggles, this was made about a month ago..I sure hope you're doing okay now. I'm sure it's hard to have certain things planned and then to have to limit yourself for your health's sake.
Hopefully you are able to create and rest equally. I just found your channel and love your energy and great content. Do what you can each day, and know that it is enough. Your best will always be enough no matter what.
Hoping you are taking care of yourself and doing well.
Health comes first. Take care of yourself!!!
I do hope you can still be at the helm of the project in some way, because I trust your vision more than anything else. It’s what makes me believe in this project.
Well wishes ❤
Haven't got a clue how hard it is for you, but i know from all you've shown that you are a fckin legend and hard worker. I wish you the best of luck with everything going on and I hope that things start looking up for you.
Thank you for sharing and being open about this. I’m so sorry… wishing you all the best.
Ikenna u to inspiration me to learning a second language English, I always use a Russian for my life, but today i talking with my friend who native speaker and I so spend enjoy this time, and if u can improve your health do that and I support you🎇☯️
Praying for you healing 🙏🏾 Your channel has really inspired me to and helped with my passion for language learning ❤️
Sending my prayers to you. You are one of my favourite humans on this planet- absolutely inspired by how much work you put into your passions. Someday I hope someday I can be as hard working and passionate as you!
Keep dreaming. Keep moving. Every day is hard but you’ll absolutely get better I have no doubts!!
All the love and hugs ❤❤❤
Take as much time as you need man, really hope you get better soon
As mentioned earlier (maybe 1 year ago), "your" app would be ready not soon but in a couple of years. It was very evident that the app was in an early stage of the development because the most difficult part wasn't ready (a connection with a server, payment system etc). The design is relatively easy, the engine to program is very difficult and very expensive.
Hey I have the same shit after covid 4 years. Ive gotten tons better and im even back to working out. And working a job. What helped me was stop searching for answers, pushing myself a bit but not too much, being mindfull ect. I think all the work with the app is compromizing you nervous system even more
you have been such an inspiration to me for so freaking long, inspiring me to travel, to continue to learn. It breaks my heart to see that things aren't going as well but also gives me so much inspiration that you are still passionate and still pushing. We all love you so much and can't wait to see what comes next for you
Thank you Ikenna! You are truly a gift. May God bless you.
You are an absolute inspiration. I remember watching your vrchat videos back in the day and your 6 month French progression video that inspired me to start learning the language. I am now a French minor and starting German and I don't think I would have started if it weren't for you. Stay healthy and please continue to focus on yourself and your well being so you can be there to inspire so many more!
I very randomly thought about Ikenna yesterday. Wondering how he was doing. I was thinking about to the video he did about his excitement in attaining basic fluency in a language fluency in Chinese. How he was so excited to meet someone who spoke Mandarin. But as soon as he thought he had something, the Chinese dude starts rattling off higher level Chinese and quoting Confucius. That video made me laugh so much. How serendipitous it is that the following day I see an update from Ikenna. I really wish you the best Ikenna, you're an inspiration!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼❤❤❤ stay strong brother. You will get better! I believe in the future you speak of :’) do what you need to do! We’ll always be here to support
Prayers up, hoping you get well soon ❤
Ikenna, you are consistently in my prayers and just know that we're all here behind you cheering you and Fluyo on! Focus on getting better and just know we'll all be here waiting!
Prayers for you, you are an inspiration!
we are all praying for your good health 😇 I have so much faith in this app mostly because your passion for language is undeniable. thanks to your French videos and language book, i ended up moving to France! i owe this big step in my life to you. I'm sure your vision will similarly pave the way with the app that will impact many others.
Sending lots of love to you Ikenna! ❤
Your passions is unmatchable, I have so much respect for you. Keep going and I pray that your health will improve!!!
So sorry you're struggling with all that, praying for your health, peace of mind, and comfort. I think your app will be very successful and leave a great lasting legacy.
You are incredibly strong and I wish your health to improve as fast as possible. Also, your eagerness to help others and going after your dreams like you do is far more inspiring than you could ever know. Thank you so much
Thank you for sharing, Ikenna! Continued blessings for you!🙏🏼
you motivate me to get up off my butt and do something throughout the day not only that but also be grateful for the simple things in life, seeing how much you try and not give up really motivates me to keep going aswell
Sending you lots of love! ❤ Watching your journey thus far has been amazing. It has inspired me to learn more languages. Please take care of your health and best of luck!
I wish you the best brother 🙏🏽 💚 can't wait to see your dreams flourish
Love your channel Ikenna. You've been such an inspiration for me to learn languages. I wish you all the best and a speed recovery. Stay strong
thank you for keeping us informed, it means more than you probably realise
Love you lots Ikenna
I'm praying for your health ❤️ im so proud of how far you have come!
What a change of pace from the time we saw you walking for a few steps. I guess all this passionate work that went into creation of Fluyo during the time must have taken a toll on you. Just focus on resting and strengthening your body. You’ll be getting there to enjoy the fruit of your endeavor eventually.
Don't lose your sense of value while resting. You are inherently valuable even if it doesn't feel that way while unable to work as much as you deem necessary. Cheering for you my dude and I'm super excited for Fluyo!! Been following it for a long time! And you as well you reinspired me with my own language learning :)
You got this. You put a lot of good in the world. I am forever grateful. I know the app will succeed.
I don't even know what to say or if I can even say it correctly. You have been an inspiration in so many ways to me and my life. Seeing your passion for language learning really sparked something in me and I have been following that dream ever since. In terms of life in general, the way you handle your health and maintain the positive outlook is something I truly admire about you and believe has helped me become more grounded and optimistic. Although I can't even imagine what it is like to be in your situation right now, for what it's worth I want to commend you for all you are doing, all you have done, and all you will do for the world and the language learning community. You are a blessing to this world! Thank you Ikenna:)
We are here for supporting the project and you.
Thank you for telling us how you are, depressive or not I think we are thinking of you and want to know how you are doing.
Congratulations on this app dream getting this real
You have done so much, celebrate it
Thank you for everything you do & praying for your recovery
You’re truly so amazing, and have already helped so many people! Behind you all the way
Wishing you the very best ❤ Prioritizing health is important and you have a lot of people rooting for you!!
I've always enjoyed your videos and have been inspired by your hunger to improve and create! You're an incredible person and I'm grateful you're giving your body and mind the space it needs to heal, even though I'm sure it's the hardest decision you've ever made. I continue to be impressed and inspired by you, and wish you the very best on your healing journey!
Sending you much strength, good health and love, get well soon! You're a huge inspiration, Ikenna♥
Praying 4 u man, we love you
Love you man wishing for the best
Sending you prayers and quick recovery ❤🙏🏾
Sending healing energy your way. Always remain hopeful. Enjoy the day. ❤
The number of people who've gotten Long Covid type POTS/Dysautonomia from Covid is so disheartening. But as someone with more wealth and access to resources I wish he would share more of what he's doing for treatment as many of us in the chronic illness community would watch it out of solidarity/for information.
You are a truly inspiration for all of us, it may sound cheesy but that’s the truth. Hang in there cause there is a hell of a community out there rooting for you!
stay strong you are an inspiration to all of us ! thank you for sharing your message
I am really sorry you're going through all the stuff that you're going through! You seem like such a sweet person! I really hope that the doctors were able to get a handle on this thing and figure out what works for you so you can go back to living life that way you want!
You're amazing and have inspired me so much! Thank you for all you do and have done.
Absolutely gutted to hear what you're going through. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Hang in there Ikenna, you're a true inspiration!
I wish all the best with your health and Fluyo
