What makes a 20 something year old who is living in deep, dark poverty give up his own personal dreams to ‘japa’ in order to teach chess to children in slums, for free?

What madness causes that?

Being in the presence of Tunde Onakoya is like being in the presence of a saint. I kid you not.

He survived debilitating poverty, his mother had to work for free for the school that gave him an education, and yet when it was time for him to ‘japa’ for his own good- he changed his mind.

Why?

In this exclusive interview, he goes deep into answering this question: tells me about the deep sacrifices his father had to make to keep him alive, the tears his mother shed, the serious medical condition he had had to struggle with and how he feels now that the dream has taken him all over the world and brought billionaires and vice presidents to his door.

If you’re wondering if to pursue that scary  dream in your heart, that no one understands and you don’t even have the resources for, then you have to watch this one. You have to.
