It's more than a story. It's a real life event that happened yesterday. Go on Twitter and search for Tunde Onakoya. Youths really have a lot of work to do repairing this country. We have the brains already, we just need the will to do so.

Honestly a lot of these boys under Oshodi and other Bridges or living in slums are born with various talents. The Government especially the local Government should be very close to them and reorientate them. Discover them and help them. Most of them are ready to live a better life

This picture broke my heart with mixed feelings.
He is too young to be a bus conductor at the same time I’m happy for the Champ.

May this win turn things around and open more doors for him.
Welcome to the gallery Boy!

18-Year-Old Bus Conductor Wins Chess Tournament In Oshodi

A teenager, Adeoye Fawaz, has emerged a double champion in Chess and Mental Maths at a tournament held in Oshodi, Lagos.

Am nearly move to tears with joy for this guy, not for anything but for the joy expression on his face and the people from the constituency.
Am of the believe that the person organizing this games is doing a great job.
He deserves national award
.

The tournament is the brainchild of Chess In Slums Initiative, an organisation dedicated to engaging children and other young people living in slums.

Adeoye had revealed that he wanted to become a comedian and musician but works as a bus conductor now.

The kind of story Hollywood loves

Exactly my thoughts..

You'd be shocked to learn that the story actually emanated from naija when they tell it their movie..

This is exemplary. Give the so called government's errand boys good & enabling environment & see the wonders they are made of but unfortunately, Nigerian leaders (both past & present), indisputably from the pit of hell, who reside in devil's mansion & calling the nefarious shots would rather prefer to devastate promising destinies of other people's kids & by so doing, they derive utmost joy from doing that. Na ogun go killl all of them...

Nice initiative!

Kudos to the young champ.

Just this morning I was frantically searching the web for a nearby chess club to join. My love for the board game is crazy.

Ps: anyone with an idea of a chess club around/within FESTAC ?

The only reason why a brainiac and a possible World Chess Champion sees being a bus conductor as a worthy endeavor is because Lagos has unfortunately made oluomo a role model.
Re: Adeoye Fawaz, Bus Conductor, Wins Chess Tournament In Lagos (Video, Pictures) by Christistruth00: 1:33pm On Dec 15, 2021
They should take the Tournament all over the State and Produce a State Champion
