Today, one of my greatest dreams came to life. We officially launched the first Chess Innovation Hub in Lagos, Nigeria, made possible through the incredible partnership with @lufthansa . It’s difficult to find the words to express just how much this moment means to me personally and to everyone who has walked this journey with us.

I have always believed that every child, no matter their background, deserves the opportunity to develop their full potential. This hub will be a sanctuary where dreams are nurtured and where we’ll inspire children to have faith in their own ideas.

As promised, the hub will be free and accessible to children in Makoko, as well as homeless children in Yaba, Ebutte Metta, and Surulere axis. We will focus on creating programs that teach Coding, Robotics, AI/Machine Learning, design, advanced chess training and a book reading club. This is where we reimagine education for children who may have fallen through the cracks of society and help them unleash the power of their minds in creative ways.

None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of our community—our friends, partners, and volunteers. My deepest gratitude goes to the Chess in Slums Africa team, especially @iamainembabazi my right-hand man, and our board chairman Tunde Onakoya Esq. for their leadership from the project’s inception to this day.

But this is only the beginning. Our vision is grand: to build a Chess Innovation Hub in every community across Africa where we can super index on talent development for the future of work.

The last picture in this post holds a special place in my heart. It’s from exactly four years ago, when I had just moved into my first rented apartment in Ikorodu. I couldn’t afford furniture then, so I turned my living room into an after-school academy where children could learn how to use the internet, web development, and critical thinking. That small space was our first innovation hub 😊. It was humble, but it was the seed of a much larger dream.

To the children who will walk through those doors, I hope you find love and a sense of belonging here. There is no future worth dreaming of that doesn’t include all of you.

One hub built, a thousand more to go❤️

Nigeria first female pilot Chineyere Kalu entered the male dominated profession. Before then and over the years women predominantly trained as flight attendants, a role that seemed most appealing for women within the aviation sector. Piloting was largely reserved for men until women began to take an interest in diversifying the field. Among those who broke into this male-dominated profession are three Nigerian sisters from Ondo state: Mopelola, Oluwaseun, and Oluwafunmilayo Makinde. They have shattered gender barriers to pursue careers in aviation. Their father, Captain Wale Makinde, a veteran helicopter pilot with the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority, inspired them by sharing fascinating stories about his work as they grew up. Meet the Makinde sisters of Nigeria, all of whom are pilots, serving as an inspiration to the younger generation, demonstrating that they can achieve their dreams by dreaming big and working diligently toward their goals.

These are the models for our youths.
