@BETIANGMILIKUNG @callme_delight @kingmerlyn @Itz__Priscy who knows/cares. Too many people are morally outraged by the things that were COMMONPLACE before 1970, before RADICAL FEMINISM RUINED EVERYTHING!!! Now all men are "pedos and predators", and girls need to make themselves UNATTRACTIVE to BOYS. No WONDER divorce is RAMPANT...

@dhaboy01 Omoh, I feel like From (No leaving) is even the scariest because of the way it messes with people psychologically. Knowing that there is a world functioning normally out there and all the people you love are there but you're stuck in a place and they don't know if you're alive...

@Itz__Priscy Most students in other countries have their uniforms either above the kneel or way up to half their thigh. It looks sexy though but that's how things work

Tunde is indeed who he says he is! Respect!
Vincent The Therapist@mrhighfoster

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

@Kecyy Oga relax. You were never a good person in the first place. What do you mean? Because you helped him fill up his tank and gave him extra money, and you expect not to pay for the next service? Or pay little? That's also a Nigerian mindset. We help and keep helping.

One of the most painful experience I have ever felt was when I went to Abuja last month I requested uber from my apartment to get food. Trip cost was 2500 naira. Uber guy arrived and decided to branch filling station to buy fuel before heading to destination… He asked for 5k fuel and I was quite surprised he asked for a fuel that small considering his tank was empty empty. I asked him why so and he said country is hard and he was struggling. So I asked the fuel guys to fill up his tank which cost approx 70k. In addition to that I also gave him 50k as a gift. He told me I should always feel free to contact him if I ever need a ride and I asked if he was free next day cos my flight was for 7am. He said sure. Next day he picked me up and dropped me off and to my greatest suprise man asked me to pay double the fare to airport because ‘he picked me up early’ My life flashed twice. I couldn’t believe what I heard. Humans are ungrateful and tbh everyday I am reminded that the major reason some people are far from their blessings is simply because they are unwilling to make sacrifices or just simply pain greedy. Till today I still have that flashback and I get angry over again when I remember it. Not exactly angry because of the money given because I mean I did so with zero expectation and will do so again and again but because it hurts soo much that said young man just lost a beautiful opportunity to know me better and probably get an opportunity to work with me beyond that day. GREED sealed his fate It is well.

@Prince_dc21_ A 5 year old is too young for the kind of chores she's expecting him to do, abeg! If the boy was her own child, wouldn't she combine taking care of him and taking care of the new born? She's just being wicked. A 5 year old sweeping and washing dishes?! Haba!

'Now I truly understand why so many women avoid marrying single fathers. Right now, my husband isn’t speaking to me, and it’s all because of his son. ​I am 28 years old and we have a 6-month-old baby together. I’ve known my husband for three years, and we have lived together for one. When we met, he was already a single dad to a 2-year-old boy (the mother sadly passed away during birth). ​That boy is now 5 years old. My biggest issue is that he doesn’t help with any chores at all, he doesn't like sweeping, same with washing the dishes, nothing. Since I have a newborn, my younger sister moved in to help me, and my husband even offered to pay for her tailoring school. ​Everything blew up last Wednesday. My husband came back home around 7: 50AM because he forgot his laptop. He found his son still at home and asked why he wasn't in school. I explained that I told the boy he had to finish his chores sweeping the house and washing dishes before he could leave for school. ​My husband lost his temper. He shouted that a 5-year-old is too young for chores and said my sister should be doing that work instead. I told him straight: my sister is not a maid; she is here to help me with the baby’s laundry. ​Since then he has been giving me the silent treatment. To make a point, he now wakes up at 5: 30AM every day to sweep the rooms and do the dishes himself so his son won't have to. ​Now, he has given me an ultimum. He wants my sister to leave so he can hire a professional nanny. I told him no, but he said if she isn't gone in a week, he will force her out himself. When I told him I would leave too, he simply said the door is open—but I’d have to leave our 6-month-old baby behind. ​ I’m currently stuck. I don’t want to lose my marriage, but I don’t want a stranger all in the name of a 'nanny' in my house either. If my sister leaves, she loses her chance at her training. Is it too much to ask a 5-year-old to do some household chores? Pls, whats wrong asking my step child to help out with chores??"

My wife had a blood transfusion during labor without discussing it with me first. In our faith, this is something we don’t support, and she’s always known how important that belief is to me. Our baby is now four months old, but I’m still struggling to move past what happened. Every time I look at my child, I’m reminded of that moment, and it’s affecting how I feel as a father and as a husband. This situation has put a serious strain on our marriage. My wife has been asking for forgiveness, but I feel conflicted and unsure of how to move forward. My wife chose survival over my faith, and I can't forgive her.”
