Dear Frank Edoho, this is a financial and life advisory from someone who has been watching.

First, the school fees, the properties, the years of provision, the emotional labour, all of that is gone and it is not coming back, mourn it for exactly 30 days, after that it becomes a tuition fee for the most expensive masterclass in human character assessment you will ever attend, file it under education and move forward.

Second, you are 57 years old, still handsome, still distinguished, still employed, still relevant, still the man who made “is that your final answer” a cultural moment in Nigerian television history. The woman who left that did not leave because you were not enough, she left because some people confuse a blessing for an entitlement, that is her problem now, not yours.

Third, your next investment will not be in a woman who needs building, you have already built two complete human beings from scratch with your resources, your time, and your emotional capacity. Going forward you are only investing in something that already has equity, no fixer upper projects or rehabilitation contracts, you are not NNPC and you cannot afford another turnaround maintenance scam.

Fourth, separate your finances permanently and structurally, whatever you own going forward carries your name only until a relationship has proven itself over years not months, love is beautiful but a joint account requires the same due diligence as a business partnership….which it literally is.

Fifth, the woman making noise publicly right now naming people and building a victim narrative is doing you a favour you have not recognised yet. She is showing everyone watching exactly who she is without you having to say a single word, your silence is not weakness Frank, your silence is evidence, let it speak.

Sixth, stop falling in love with potential, you are a television professional, you understand production, you know the difference between a pilot episode and a complete series, stop funding pilots that never make it to season two.

Now the most important advice of all.

Come back to television, but not with a quiz show this time, Nigeria has moved past multiple choice questions, we are living in an era of N800 billion missing from FAAC, senators buying tax clearance like recharge cards, a Budget Office that has gone silent on the biggest budget in history, and a government that travels the world giving speeches about transparency while accountability stays at home.

Come back with a current affairs programme, sharp, structured, uncomfortable, the kind of show where powerful people sweat under studio lights and ordinary Nigerians get the questions actually answered, hosted by a man who has already survived two public storms with his dignity completely intact, which means nobody can threaten him, blackmail him, or buy him with a land allocation.

Nigeria needs a broadcaster who has nothing left to lose and everything to say, and after what you have been through Frank, that man is you.

The show writes itself, the audience is already waiting, and this time when you ask the question, we will not be thinking about the money.

We will be thinking about the answer.

Is that your final answer Frank?

Make it count this time.

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 ❤️

Side quest for next month (hope I remember)

Run into a restaurant and loudly ask, “Where am I? What time is it? What YEAR is this?!” When told the year, I’d fall on my knees and say “You have to vote him out! Terrible things happened in the future I came from.”

The Islamic imam who put 1million naira to any Muslim that can behead a pastor for preaching Jesus has said:

“…whoever carries out this job (of beheading the pastor), I swear to Allah I’ll give him one million naira. We have nothing to lose even if after beheading this pastor, the Arewa plunges into chaos, we have nothing to lose…”

Dear @OfficialDSSNG @PoliceNG
We know you will pretend not to see this. But we are bringing this to your attention again.

There are Muslim clerics in northern Nigeria who are openly calling for the beheading of Christian pastors.

Pls help retweet this for the world to see.

[Black Zinari, your Cyberpet🦋🍷 @microbialawyer]

It's high time we addressed some of these annoying takes. You leave the country and suddenly conclude that prayer is the reason Nigeria isn't moving forward.

Let me say this clearly: prayer is NOT Nigeria's problem.

Prayer walks, crusades, morning cries, conferences, retreats, and conventions are not the problem. In fact, one of the reasons Nigeria hasn't completely torn apart under this life-frustrating, heart-wrenching evil and wickedness we see daily is because people still pray.

Prayer is what keeps many people sane. Prayer is the reason some people haven't committed suicide, slipped into depression, or completely given up on life.

Countries you mentioned are progressing largely because they have a WORKING SYSTEM! In Nigeria, we are battling corruption, greed, insecurity, poverty, and hunger and those are failures of LEADERSHIP and GOVERNANCE, not the result of people praying.

And if exposure to better systems abroad has shown you how things can work, then by all means come help us build those systems too. If some of us choose to pray while also speaking up and working for change, that should not offend you.

Praying does not mean we are silent about the dysfunction in our nation or we don't speak up.

Like someone rightly said: the real issue is not that people are praying, the issue is that you people simply have a problem with Jesus.

I think it’s time for you guys to leave AG alone. He gave us classic albums, this guy shut down a whole national theatre; an amazing performer, his craft is exceptionally untouched. I see the most despicable comments about him and his family. Mehn it’s enough. I believe if we all stand tall in many things in life, let us start with respecting people’s craft and life work. He remains unscarred and he is still one the biggest musician to ever come out of Nigeria. Una carry issue turn am to assault and extreme bullying. It’s enough.

I haven't been on twitter today - but someone brought a few of my old tweets to my attention and I can't not address it.

14 years ago, I was 23, so I was definitely not a child. I'm not here to make excuses because I don't have anything to make excuses for. What I can't let anyone do is twist my story to fit false narratives.

In 2012, I lived and helped out at my mom's daycare while I was hustling my music. I tweeted everything that happened in my life, as we all did at the time. Kids can be mischievous. If a child did something I found funny, I tweeted about it. Kids are cute and lovable. I want to hug, kiss and cuddle them. I tweet about it. Nothing I tweeted was from perversion.

I was not famous, so maybe if I was, I would have understood that anything is open to whatever interpretation including being used falsely by a faceless mob. I've never been depraved in my life. You can retweet all the tweets in the world about me loudly crushing on people I admire/d. Or being a cheeky young woman. I wasn't trying to hide it, because I don't have anything to hide.

My team has been deleting some of my tweets because of how sensitive it is for my family. To be honest, I did not want to. I have always spoken against rape and sexual assault even before you knew I existed. It's not a costume I'm wearing, it's who I am. I've never claimed to be perfect. I've never claimed to know everything. I said stop raping women. I stand by it.

Your husband is an inconsiderate ahole and his behavior should never be tolerated.

Our mantra a few years back was “No Gree For Anybody”. Not even your husband.

So, tomorrow withdraw N440K from your own personal account. Send N140K to his Mum and N300K to yours.

Announce it at the diner table.

No one has a monopoly on being an inconsiderate ahole 😉
