@godwinubi @Phatbabeluuu Kelvin Odanz do pass am, dey play.

@Phatbabeluuu Salako go away ke, abi he'll be raining tweets from left right centre. Sis they've tried. It's not people like salako that fold because of tweets. Except they find something on him that dents his reputation. If it's normal banter or attack. Salako will never shake.

Salako better tread carefully, the day they will turn on him, it will be very crazy.

@Yemihazan @saintLumy @Dinnydavinci There’s nothing logical about what you’ve been doing, you’ve only been on the hate train, spreading hate from the mob, just cos you don’t agree with the stance he’s made regarding politics. Simple as. There’s no way you’re being logical about it, and this has gone on for days.

My criticism shouldn't be loud, like the support was silent? Lol No need for long talks... You don say you are bias already, so you can never be logical on this... Continue your "touch not my anointed" some people like us no care about that BS.. but you sabi criticize other people, sounds like hypocrisy too. I have posts criticizing and supporting him, but you can't show posts where you did both, nobody will lie so you can feel good. Same thing APC minions are doing for their politicians, you Def need that inward check more. Ire oh

He has never claimed to be the best, but at least records have it that he’s among the top chess players.

One man started this hate towards Tunde. Just one man. and I’m a very patient man. One day is one day.

Only if you people can analyze things without emotions or bias, we wouldn’t be having most of the toxic conversations on the tl. You CANNOT do what he does at large scale and be openly against the government. In this context, you CAN’T go against the government and WIN.

Very on the fence about this Tunde/APC situation but I will say that if you want to achieve anything at scale, you’ll work with whoever is in power. There’s no real point antagonizing the govt of the country you actively live&work in. It’s easy to hold up Chimamanda but she’s not doing charity work here. Also there are slums because of APC yes but also because of decades of terrible leader and Chess in Slums predates Tinubu. I get why people want him to have a clear stance on who he supports but I also get why he’s not declaring that. For all I know he may be a full APC guy with corn in his pocket. I do think there’s a lot of misplaced anger being thrown his way right now sha. Channel it to Tinubu and the rest of his locusts. Get your PVC Vote Peter Obi.

this campaign of calumny against Tunde O is lazy at best. not everyone has the luxury of alignment. some people do work that cuts across divides - work that may collapse the moment it’s seen as partisan. in that position, neutrality is not cowardice; it’s a requirement for the work to survive and achieve its objectives. “but he has taken a side”. meanwhile, it’s a picture with the president of his country. an honorary ambassadorship from his state. opportunity to speak with young people (his primary target) at an event - organized by the president’s son. guess who else has a picture with the president. guess who else is a sports ambassador for Ogun state. guess who else was invited to speak at that event (Tunde didn’t even attend) that people are not dragging. what are we doing? if you’re doing impactful work, people across political divides will court you. people across the world will court you. you will be in rooms with people you like and those you loathe. and for the sake of the work, you will chest it. because the work is bigger than your personal politics. and the idea that he needs Nigeria to stay bad so he can have more slum kids is … laughable. his work isn’t about preserving slums. it’s about developing people - through chess - discipline, how they think, opportunity, etc. that doesn’t disappear if things improve. and no matter who the president is, Nigeria will never run out of underserved communities. infact, the world will never run out of it. you’re forcing politics on something that isn’t built for it. and judging a constraint you don’t carry. if you think you’d do it differently, oya do it. build something impactful, take your stance, and sustain it. until then, it’s just noise. lazy noise. 🙂‍↔️

You’re too wise. Inject it!!!

Do you know what the main problem is with you folks and shite arguments like this? You are treating these children simply as symbols of governmental failure rather than as human beings with present, immediate needs. It is also evident most of you do not know how NGOs and Civil societies work. For example, you cannot simply walk up to a public school and start handing out incentives to pupils without due permission from the Ministry of Education. If you also try to antagonize the government, your efforts will be utterly frustrated. You will go on to condemn Tunde for compromising while you remain morally spotless but also entirely useless to the children in question. You want to keep them under the bridge, theoretically, so the bridge can function as an indictment of the state. Do you actually think you are more righteous by performing outrage on social media? Listen, the children under the bridge are already there. The question is not philosophical anymore. They are hungry, undereducated, exposed to violence, and statistically on their way to lives you hypocrites will later lament. If he leaves these children right now and start supporting your candidate, will this immediately destroy all the slums in Lagos State? All of you using these children's suffering as rhetorical ammunition against someone trying to address that suffering directly, I want to ask you plainly now: What exactly are you proposing instead, and when does it begin?

Straight up facts mehn. Too apt!!

This is silly, What about him made you come to the conclusion that he dines with the government?
