Bola Ahmed Tinubu @officialABAT

I received Tunde Onakoya, founder of Chess in Slums Africa, at my residence today where he also presented his World Record for the longest Chess Marathon.

Tunde’s journey, from the streets of Lagos to uplifting underserved children and breaking world records, reflects the resilience and brilliance of Nigeria’s youth.

Through chess, he opens minds and transforms lives in communities that are too often overlooked. I would love to see how his work can be replicated nationwide and I am looking forward to seeing him in Abuja to hear how the government can support him

Tunde Onakoya’s vision aligns with our administration’s: no child left behind, no talent wasted.

Nigeria is proud of him, and we will walk with him.

Tunde Onakoya @Tunde_OD

Honored to have been graciously received by His Excellency, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, @officialABAT.

We had the privilege of presenting a Gold plated Adire Chess board and the world record certificate.

Grateful for the time, listening ear and kind invitation to Abuja to share our vision: to build the Largest Chess/STEM institute in the world. A place where children regardless of background can dream, learn and become.

It is possible to do great things from a small place.

Back to sender

People dragging this guy no get sense at all. The same reason almighty Otti resonates with him is one simple truth. It’s common sense to separate the person from the position, even if you despise the man.

You can smell the akpu from a mile away.

COMRADES, tiniestbu is wasting our commonwealth on celebrities assuming that we are in alliance together with them not knowing that a lover/ patriot of Nigeria has nothing to do with them

No child left behind, no talent wasted.

Says a man that was once governor of the state where Tunde empowers out of school children.

Talking about schools and children.
How many schools did your kinsman Peter Obi build for children when he was Anambra Governor?

Or is it not in the same Anambara that Mmesoma forged Jamb result so that she could school in Lagos?

Obidients go soon drag am... Jst watch... They only drag yorubas.... Adeboye, kumuyi, Adefarasin, Wole Soyinka.... But they won't drag okonkwo, otti, even when their university gave pantami illegal prof, they left the university and the Vice Chancellor and started dragging Pantami..

If the wrong person does the right things he will get the right results.

And if the right person does the wrong things he will get the wrong results.

Brenbentondiaz:
Lolz. This comment na hin come blow your cover the more. Ask if deveropers dey bear SadiqBaba something also.

I asked an honest question and you are talking another thing. Is Abimbola an Igbo name?

Judolisco:
Obidients go soon drag am... Jst watch

He doesn't give a flying rat about them. There are better things than responding to online nuisance.

Gold plated, see as chess dey hungry me

Judolisco:
Obidients go soon drag am... Jst watch

They've been "dragging" him since morning on Twitter, but I don't think it has any effect.
