@Nysc_Guidee Do you know an good ppa's in Abia state?

Look for a better PPA and go to camp with a request letter. Searching for a PPA after camp can be stressful. #2026BatchAStream2Orientation

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

Javohkir Sindarov, you have such a lead that it doesn’t even matter in regards to the standings, but you could heal a divided chess world and bring joy to millions by losing to Matthias Bluebaum in chess tomorrow.

@Ankiii_i Hi

finally adding chess lovers here

people who were all over the timeline crying that trump wanted to steal nigeria’s resources are now quiet that news of china stealing resources is out

If you’re proud to be a Christian, please don’t hide it. This is not the time for silent faith and private conviction. 
Our generation is loud about everything: politics, football, trends—but suddenly becomes quiet when it comes to God. We express our opinions without fear, defend our passions without hesitation, but treat our faith like something that must be kept private. But faith was never meant to be hidden.
It was meant to be lived boldly, seen clearly, and heard without shame. I pray we have the strength to be Vocal about our faith now and forever. Amen.

@Him_xyz @the_beardedsina 🤣🤣

@the_beardedsina How to get this in Lagos?

Fun fact LENACAPAVIR is now available in Nigeria. Yes, Lenacapavir which can protect against HIV is available in some states Big thanks to the Nigerian government, and other stakeholders that subsidized it A Drug that should cost around $28,000 per year (~40 million Naira) was subsidized to around $40 ( 58,000)

Today is Ash Wednesday - marking the start of Lent ✝️ For many, this season is a time of reflection, prayer and service in the weeks leading up to Easter. We wish a meaningful Lent to all who are observing.

A month after I first met my wife, she flew from Paris to Valencia to visit me. I wasn’t at the airport to pick her up. I’d asked if that was okay and she said yes. I didn’t know it was actually a big deal to her. 2 months later I took the train from Amsterdam to Paris to visit her there for the first time and she commuted an hour by metro just to meet and welcome me at the train station. I never needed to be told again. Two years later we got married, moved to Nancy, and she got an internship at Baker & McKenzie Luxembourg. It was cheaper to keep our French apartment and have her commute by train. She returned every evening at 8:11pm. I was at the train station to welcome her every single day. I kinda agree some men aren’t worth the asking. But men are not mind readers. Find someone humble enough to hear what you want, and respond. Then show them what love looks like and watch them learn your language. You have to ask. The right one listens. And then you stop having to.

RT for the noisy neighbors

Wishing a peaceful Lent to all that are observing.

UI only admits the best sha. None of that “70% admission quota for indigenes” gimmick. 😂 Quality input should always translate to quality output.

UI is not for the weak When I saw my 100L result I cried so hard because I never expected second class lower despite my sleepless night at kdl I almost gave up, I thought I had failed by Mercy said NO To God be the Glory 100L- 2'2 200- 2'1 300 - 500L first class 🥇
