Despite the intense back and forth, I didn't even share screenshots of our conversation. It is a line I never cross. Most of the hardline APC accounts you see attacking me, have been in my DMs before. Regardless of TL insults, I NEVER share DMs. Me and this guy have spoken extensively on Twitter before AND WhatsApp. You know how stupid you have to be to screengrab a small portion of our interaction to score points. You dey explain yourself give small man?

Don’t allow Arojinle to mislead you, we’re all human so everyone can do mistake Army, Navy and Airforce are all soldiers 😎

You have removed the subsidy. You have passed tax reform. You have stopped deductions from NNPC. You have increased borrowing. ALL ARE REVENUE EVENTS. Revenues have not merely doubled; they have tripled, according to your own data. Why can't the Army CAPEX be funded? Why can't the power debt be paid? Why can't all contractors be paid? Why can't you implement a temporary PMS relief? The revenue is not the issue; the problem lies in wasteful spending.

I wasn't even 20 yet when I started driving impact. The students I taught in schools & tutorial centres, bet '11 & '15 would eclipse 10,000. Around Sango, I was a big name in the sciences. The ex UI SUG President who is now a notable lawyer, I taught him from JSS 3 to SS3.

He is 31 years old At nine months old, a failed measles injection by a local nurse caused avascular necrosis, leading to lifelong hip pain and leg weakness until his hip replacement surgery Four of his siblings died in childhood (likely related to sickle cell trait in the family), making his survival a "statistical miracle" At age 10, he dropped out of school due to poverty but returned after his mother worked as a cleaner for six years to pay his fees He learned chess as a kid at a local barber's shop in a Lagos slum while playing video games with friends Barely spoke English when he started secondary school (mostly Yoruba at home) but quickly picked it up from classmates His mother was a petty trader (thrift clothes seller), and his father sold spare parts. They met in a Lagos market Chess helped him develop a strong photographic memory, which he used to cram for exams and survive without parental allowances He became Nigeria's No 13 ranked chess player and earned the National Master title at age 20 He won gold medals representing Yaba College of Technology in the Nigeria Polytechnic Games and the RCCG Chess Championship He also won the National Friends of Chess Tournament and the Chevron Chess Open He got a diploma in computer science and used chess winnings to support himself through school Founded Chess in Slums Africa in September 2018 as a volunteer-driven nonprofit after visiting slums like Majidun The organization has reached thousands of underprivileged kids, including producing a 10-year-old champion with cerebral palsy Tunde Onakoya broke the Guinness World Record for the longest chess marathon (over 60 hours) in Times Square, New York, in 2024 Featured in CNN African Voices for his work Tunde has a younger brother (two years apart) He credits chess with saving him from slum poverty and giving him an "intellectual identity" He once simultaneously won 10 chess games at the DLD Conference in Germany First African to win the Lideramos Youth Award for Social Impact in Spain. Won the Corporate Chess Championship in Malawi with a perfect 7/7 score Tunde dreams of building the world's biggest chess institute in Nigeria . . . . Tunde Onakoya has brought attention to Africa through Chess. He started teaching chess at a younger age to children. I'm talking of around 2013/2014 when he was meeting at parks around Lagos State, just to teach kids in the open (mostly after work hours) . . Today, I am more interested in telling you more about him, and how he has also risen from a place of deep poverty and struggles. He has done soooo much for people and it's only expected that these past impacts would show on him as well You might have your reservations about him, but you cannot downplay how he used the game of chess to bring great changes to children's lives. . . A lot of children now have access to education, purpose and meaning, thanks to Chess. You are also part of his story. Tunde didn't do all these alone. Your support, your accolades, your retweet, your reposts, everything So look at the bigger picture. Think of the kids whose lives have changed from taking alcohols and drugs on the streets of slums, to having regulated mental health and more purpose driven lives, due to Chess and the opportunity it brought. . . . . Tunde can't certainly please everyone, and yes, there might be actions that many people would attribute to him being human. But if children would smile again, because he created an opportunity for them to have their smiles again.... Then it's one of the best legacies anyone can ever have. And you also can create your own legacy to which nations would applaud, recognise and help preserve 🫂 The sky is big enough for you, I and Tunde to shine and shine bountifully well ❤️ . . . ✍️ Vincent the Therapist
