To Kill a Monkey is that MOVIE!
Efe and Oboz deserve AMVCA awards, and best believe we’ll make that happen! 🙌🔥

This is the truth “I prayed to God for a decent gig and God answered me with Kemi Adetiba’s To kill a monkey”

@MystifiedFreak She was so fantastic

[Emerald 💚 هداية @Mz_Tosyn]

Obi can meet with Tinubu but Tunde can’t meet Tinubu 🤣🤣🤣 e ti mad in collaboration

[Shola 👑 @itsSh0la]

Davido visited Tinubu and you all moved on silently, but Tunde Onakoya being recognized by the number one citizen of the country for his good works is where y’all draw the line and want to cut his head off? NGO means non-governmental organization, zero affiliation to any political party. He’s doing a great job, and the invite/recognition by the President was well deserved.

Continue to impact the kids, Tunde👏🏽👏🏽

[Pamilerin Adegoke @Pamilerin]

I thought you all said Tunde Onakoya deserves a national honour, so who exactly is supposed to give it to him? The Local Government Chairman or his Pastor?

[Montero - Olu Lewis @Montero1016]

They sold a lie to naive people that a First class holder in Accounting did not go to school & his fellow Yorubas believed; They went to vote for a man with a grade 2 steps below in Philosophy because that's who we are & what we love to hear.

Pa Adedayo told a former boss & I that Asiwaju forgot how wicked Yorubas were, so he ignored those lies from Lagos PDP & others for 15 years. The baba's wife (Mrs Pamela) who runs Tastee Fried Chicken nationwide, was even a year behind her husband and Asiwaju at Chicago State University. They are alive & verifiable!

Baba said BAT was the best of his set; Yet, fellow (educated) Yorubas were eager to believe that a man can work with a top 10 American firm in America, using a Fake degree from a university in same America. 😲

If u ever ignore people who come for your integrity, u are only feeding a monster that may swallow u in 5 years. Don't be another Lisabi! Yoruba buru gan o!

Fela Anikulapo Kuti has been inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame.

The achievements of the Yoruba ethnic group that I have posted in the last two months further demonstrate how great they are.

[Olori🍒 @OloriOfOloris]

Sorry to burst your bubble but none of you can EVER cancel Tunde Onakoya.

[Tunde Onakoya @Tunde_OD]

I’ll say a few things…

1. The anger, the hate, the love, the applause, the criticism, all of it is valid and I embrace it.
2. I am a world record holder which means I have attained something no one else in the world has ever done. I was recently honored and awarded by the city of New York.
To be honored and received by the President and the highest office in my own country for this reason is not a crime. (It is not even a national honor by the way).

I have declined many awards.

Comparing me to people who have received awards and recognition from countries that have committed war crimes is at best laughable.

3. I have no interest in partisan politics because of the sensitivity of the work that I do. If that ever changes, then I would resign my role as CEO of chess in slums Africa.

4. The rhetoric that Chess in slums only exists or is relevant because of bad governance is not accurate. The real impact of our work is in the synapses. We’re using chess as a tool to teach cognition and improve academic outcomes. Using it as a social intervention tool is because those children have fallen through the cracks and cannot make it to the classrooms. This is not charity or “NGO”. What most of you measure as the most tangible impact is we just dignifying the stories of the children you see all the time on the streets but pay no attention to. The real impact here is ensuring they have the critical capacity to think for themselves and putting them through formal or vocational education.
I continue to consult with educational institutions and tech companies around the world, so my work will always be relevant and whatever resource or influence that gives me, I will use all of it to serve the children who deserve a place in the world as well.

5. A visit is not an endorsement. I will visit many more people and will continue to sell my chess boards.

6. You may not understand my intentions or character because the only thing you know about me is what I let on social media. But reputation is not character.
It’s been 10 long years of staying with this one thing, so I know for a fact that I have earned the benefit of the doubt.

7. Again, I embrace the love and the hate. But I care for none of it.
In a decade or two, the Chess/STEM institute will stand and it will be a place where thousands of children will dream again and be educated in a way that makes them valuable to the world.
All the strong opinions we have now falls flat in the face of this.

8. Finally, I appreciate everyone who has ever supported the incredible work we’ve done in the last 7 years. We have never applied or received any international grants in this time.

9. We’ve been working with the Lagos state government for about a year now to take kids from Jakande and Isale Eko off the streets. One of them recently graduated from furniture school and is living again. Our collective hurt is valid and we may disagree on politics but there are actual lives at stake and we all have a role to play in whatever capacity to stop this hemorrhage. Yes we will partner with the government to scale this impact and institutionalize it so Tunde stops being the hero of the story. It’s your tax anyway.

10. Finally I’d say this, My fight is different.
I’m not on the fence. I took a stand 10 years ago for the country I want to see.
The truth is I will do many more things that may challenge your perception of me, but I know my heart is in the right place and whatever rooms my vision gives me access to, I will put the dreams and needs of the children first.

I live for the audience of one, and that is enough.

Na we give una chance for so long .. ori yin ti Daru

[Akin Olaoye @akintollgate]

Being Mentally ill is attacking @Tunde_OD because he honored a visit to the President. Not like any of you bought chess boards and paid his rent while he groomed disadvantaged kids to become face of hope today.
This inability to separate politics from human stories is nauseating.

[Sarki. @Waspapping_]

Why is Peter Obi allowed to meet and laugh with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, but Tunde Onakoya is not allowed to honor an invitation from the Presidency?

Why are you guys such hypocrites?

[Samuel Faloye🀄 @samuelade0]

Nigerians are the most hypocritic people in the world
Davido visit Tinubu una dey silent 😂
Imagine if it was WizKid and Burna cry go full everywhere say dem dey visit una oppressors 😂
