He’s the chess king!

A Nigerian chess whiz has been playing the game for more than 58 consecutive hours in Times Square to smash a world record — defeating a lineup of skilled players despite a royal lack of sleep.

Tunde Onakoya, 29, of Lagos, beat the Guinness record for “longest chess marathon” after soaring past the 56 hours and 9-minute mark around 7:45 p.m. Friday in front of hundreds of supporters.

But the chess master didn’t stop there and continued to cushion the new record late into Friday night, with his sights set on the 60-hour mark.

Nigerian chess master, Tunde Onakoya has set the new Guinness World Record for the longest chess marathon, surpassing the previous record of 56 hours and 9 minutes.

Hello Nairalanders, let's have you on this

Do you agree with Davido??

There is only one GOAT in my country and it’s me,” he boasted.

Zee0007:
That is so good of him, but no matter what. He can't take care of them like how their father would.

Promises looks good until something else happens.

May we live and take care of our own children.

May God bless E money too.

It has been one week since you departed from this world, leaving behind a profound sense of loss that reverberates not only among us but also across Africa and beyond. Your presence, as both a friend and a brother, is deeply missed, JP.

The weight of your absence bears heavily upon our hearts, yet we draw comfort from the belief that God will grant us the resilience to carry forward and uphold the legacy you've entrusted to us. We tenderly remember your final words on the boat, "NA ONLY ME DEM BORN I GET 3 CHILDREN NA ME GO RAISE THEM," and we solemnly commit to honoring that vow. Your children now find solace in the embrace of the Okonkwo family, and we, as members of that family, pledge to nurture them as you would have wished. Your absence leaves a palpable void, JP, and your memory will forever be held dear.

Rest peacefully, knowing that you are deeply cherished, and may God's blessings encompass your soul, your family, and all who hold you in their hearts. 🙏

Hello Nairalanders, this is a beautiful topic I've been willing to share with you all

Please, I'll appreciate having your thoughts on this!

If I were to write my praises of Nigerian people, it may be to wide to read. Therefore, I’ll give you only one example that will summarize some of their profound humane qualities. Mind you, they have many other qualities as well. I was on assignment to a remote part of Nigeria in 2002. I met a kind but destitute old German engineer living in practical misery. I met other Germans in the town who would accept him when he visited, but will make no effort to assist him otherwise. When I enquired how he lived from day to day, I was told that every modest Nigerian in his neighborhood assisted with the little they could. That even included his medical expences. I was awe-stricken. I know of other modest Nigerians who took stranded foreigners into their homes, lodged & fed them, & even gave them a weekly allowance for months, until they could travel back to their countries. They have a heart. They have a Faith also, I have seen nowhere else in the world. May the Good Lord bless them & protect them all. Amen.

Wow, Incredible 🤩
