Congrats to my former boss and senior friend of over 15 years, Taiwo Oyedele, on promotion to Minister of Finance. When it comes to competence, knowledge, zeal for progress, and passion for his country, I do not know many people that match Taiwo. A well deserved career height.

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

To prove that we don’t have ‘LOW IQ’, we must vote for someone who has consistently shown a lack of regard for our language, our culture, and who continues to follow an account that slurs the very people he wants to lead.

You will not vote for Gbadebo because he follows Harry??? This is why Yoruba selection leadership metrics suck bro!! 1. Low IQ 2. Low understanding of governance 3. High sentiment & emotion. Make nobody try this nonsense with me. Cheap propaganda

Also, to some Yoruba people who quickly distance themselves from their own when it’s time to prove a point to others. I need you to think about what that communicates. You don’t have to agree on everything within your tribe, but constantly invalidating your own people for external approval is something worth reflecting on. And to everyone: no matter how much you try to fit in or be accepted, it only takes one disagreement for people to remind you where they place you. Meanwhile, you’ll notice how others often stand firmly united when it matters to them. That should say something.

Why should security headquarters be located in the North? Every institutional concentration will be federalized, and no region is more special than another. We must have true federalism.
Hamma@HAHayatu

There is a reason founding fathers of this country Nigeria kept most of its security headquarters in the North. The answer is simple the north is the only part of Nigeria that have never dreamt of seceding. Tinubu is now gradually balkanizing some of this agencies and moving them away to other part.
