For over 40 hours, Tunde Onakoya has been playing chess in Times Square to break the Guinness world record for the longest chess marathon, without losing a game. So far he has not.

During this time, the 29 year old chess master has received support from millions of Nigerians at home and in New York City who continue to cheer him on in setting a new world record of 58 hours.

Onakoya is being tipped to set the new record by some of Nigeria’s elites and celebrities who have publicly shown support for him online and in person at his stand in Times Square where he set up for 3 days.

Popular Nigerian artist Adekunle Gold, and Davido surprised Onakoya after showing up at Times Square to rally behind him. Davido had organised a music concert at The Garden in New York City the night before.

In an unfamiliar environment, Onakoya was resented with some familiarity as Omoyele Sowore, activist and politician who has run for Nigeria’s presidency twice handed him food packs from an African-themed restaurant in New York.

Since founding Chess in Slums Africa, Onakoya’s has related with some of Nigeria’s elites, some of whom openly commend his aspiration and back him to achieve it.

Tony Elumelu, chairman of Heirs Holdings, expressed his support for Onakoya in a post on X where he wrote “Good luck on checkmating New York @Tunde_OD as you attempt to set the Guinness World Record for the longest Chess Marathon. Continue to serve as an inspiration especially to African youth! We are solidly behind you.” attached to a picture taken with Onakoya wearing his trademark Fila (Cap).

Onakoya, an indigene of Lagos state where he began his work helping underprivileged children also earned the backing of Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who describes his endeavour as a “bold move.”

“Lagos is rooting for you as you,” he said.
“Taking the story of the phenomenal work you started in Lagos with young children to a global stage is a powerful testament to how greatness can emerge from anywhere,” he added.
Dapo Abiodun, governor of Ogun state, bordering Lagos, ashares Sanwo-Olu’s sentiments

On X, he wrote, “On behalf of the Ogun State government and its people, we extend our best wishes to @Tunde_OD…We applaud his efforts to raise funds to support children’s dreams worldwide through this noble initiative.”
Foreign missions in Nigeria also rallied behind Onakoya to set the new record. The United States Diplomatic Mission Nigeria and the British High Commission in Nigeria have openly shown their support for Onakoya on their official social media under the hashtag #ChessMarathonforChange.

Onakoya is using the Guinness world record attempt as a catalyst to raise $1 million to support children in underprivileged communities across Africa with access to education.

So far, Onakoya has played and won over 100 games and raised more than $45,000.

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

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.

Late singer, Mohbad's mother Abosede Adeyemo has begged for help as she fears for her life.

She called on the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the first lady of Nigeria Oluremi Tinubu and well-meaning Nigerians to come to her aid after a Facebook user posted a photo of her house on their page.

In the video that has gone viral, the distraught mum of the singer said she has been noticing people stalking her and her late son's wife for a while now and feels that they are no longer safe.

‘’Nigerians please have mercy on me. Bukky Jesse has posted my house Please help me. Governor Sanwo-Olu, Mama Remi, You all are just looking at me. What have I done? They first killed my son. After killing him, they have not yet buried him. What have we done to Jossy(Mohbad's father)? Please save me from the hands of Jossy and Bukky.

After killing my son, they now want to kill Liam and then kill me! Nothing must happen to me, my son's widow, my grandson Lima and Mohbad's brother Adura.

When he (Mohbad) was alive he said we should not complain, now that he has been killed, have you seen it? They want to kill me. Now I cannot walk around because I am afraid. Different kinds of people will be in front of my house. I will not know they are stalking me. Please have mercy on me''

CelebritiesBobrisky Jailed For Six Months With No Option Of Fine by nlparrot(op): 11:46am On Apr 12, 2024
Justice Abimbola Awogboro of the Federal High Court in Lagos has sentenced cross-dresser Idris Okuneye, popularly known as Bobrisky, to six months in jail with no option of fine.

The judgement was handed on Friday morning, April 12.

Recall that on April 5th, EFCC arraigned Bobrisky in court on a six-count charge ranging from Abuse of the Naira and Money laundering. The court, however, dismissed the money laundering charges but convicted him for Naira Abuse after he confessed to the crime. The court also ordered that he be remanded in EFCC detention in Lagos

The judge then adjourned hearing for judgement into the case to April 9. However, the court couldn't sit due to the April 9 to April 11 Eid-Fitri public holiday.

In the viral clip, the late singer’s mother was seen in tears, pouring out curses on those she holds responsible for her child’s death. She vehemently stated that Mohbad’s killers would meet a similar fate as Judas did in the Bible, ending their own lives.
She said:

“It was God’s will for Judas to betray Jesus. Judas killed himself, that is the same way my child’s murderers will kill themselves.”
Speaking further, she recounted how her late son was her staunch defender, always standing up for her whenever his father attempted to cause trouble.

“Mohbad was the one who stood by me when his father threatened my life. He would always caution his father, that was in 2021.”
In the viral clip, Mohbad’s mother disclosed the role played by the late singer’s father in aiding one of the suspects involved in the case, Primeboy. She revealed how Mohbad’s dad reportedly instructed Primeboy to flee, shedding light on the father’s involvement in protecting the suspect.

"After Mohbad’s burial when his father came back home, I asked him where Primeboy was since it was claimed that he’s the one who fought my son. Mohbad’s father said he told Primeboy to run away so that he won’t get arrested because he’s a suspect. I asked him how he could say such a thing.”

Actress Dayo Amusa has slammed Femi Adebayo after her replied her post about him being the one behind the whole saga, he then replied by saying that his success is her problem.

Femi Adebayo has been receiving heat online for announcing Bobrisky as the best dressed female at an event in Lagos last weekend. Dayo Amusa, the college of the actor also shared a video online in which she berated him for making such an announcement.

On Tuesday night, Dayo and Femi's wife, Aladuke, had a spat online after Aladuke slammed Dayo for publicly calling out her husband when she could have called him and privately expressed her disappointment.
She went as far as calling Dayo a ‘’Hypocrite and evil minded''
.

Dayo Amusa responded by saying she stands by what she said and warned Aladuke not to push it further. Things took a different turn when Femi left a comment on Dayo's page insinuating that her problem with him is his success.
Dayo Amusa in seeing the comment replied him.
In a video posted on IG, the actress called Femi an ‘’Ode'' which means Fool in Yoruba for having such a thought
. She said she was surprised that he would even think of such just because they are having a misunderstanding. The actress mentioned that Femi had called her earlier in the day asking that she does another video recording as damage control. She said she was skeptical if it will not affect the event they went for.

She mentioned that Femi told her it was necessary as the Muslim Society had called him, condemning him for supporting LGBTQ in Nigeria and that the police had even invited him for questioning for supporting homosexuality.
The actress also revealed that herself and Femi Adebayo even had a three way call with the organizer of the event and that the organizer mentioned to her that she should hold on so she can brainstorm with her team to know whether the damage-control video from Dayo will be necessary. Dayo Amusa said she was still waiting for the response when Femi's wife took to social media to call her out, heaping insults on her.
She said she is not apologetic for saying Bobrisky should never have been announced as the best dressed female at an event.

Afrobeats superstar, Davido has disclosed that he met his wife, Chioma Rowland before he became rich and famous.

The singer stated that if he had not met Chioma before he became successful he would have found it difficult to find love.

He disclosed this while featuring as a gues on the latest episode of The Bridge Show.

According to him, “I have a very rich friend who is single, whenever I’m on the phone with my wife, he would be like he has everything in this world but this is what he is missing.

"I met my wife before I had money. I was saying to myself if I didn’t meet her and now I was single, and I met a girl, I already know that she’s talking to me because of who I am and what I have.

To me, success is when I am doing something and I see all those people who were around me when I was nothing, and they see me now. That’s the sweetest thing ever. Not that you blow up and you start hanging out with different people. You need to keep the people that were there with you when you were grinding.”
