It's officially 1 full day of playing continous chess in our attempt to break the @GWR for longest chess marathon. @CoachShawnMar and I have played 60 games and the fatique is naturally setting in. But one thing we will not do is stop.
We will raise a million dollars and bring the gift of chess to children across the world. Your support is needed now, more than ever.
Tap the link to livestream the attempt and donate, donate, donate. It is possible to do great things from a small place.

The debate around this tweet is fascinating because at Hallam and HBS, all I did was point out to my professors why frameworks they theorized wouldn’t work in Nigeria.
They all wanted to study Nigeria more to understand why? I was offered research opportunities to help do this. I started to look closely and test my assumptions on why things don’t work as planned and realized as I was doing so that they worked as Nigerians ACTUALLY planned and NOT as Nigerians say they planned. There is a difference.
There is cause and there is effect. Nigeria suffers from the effect of corruption and lack of any will to tame it. If you look closely to see why the corruption exists, it is closely tied to lack of safety nets. Why don’t safety nets exist? Because we don’t have the basis for public goods which is proper nationhood.
Nigeria works as planned because Nigeria was never planned. Frederick Forsyth calls it an aberration and convenient amalgamation of British colonial gains in West Africa. Ghana is similar but why does it work better than Nigeria? It is because there is less delusion about the truth there.
Nigeria has only largely had pretend governance. The only time we had true governance (during OBJ’s regime) was when we had some semblance of growth. OBJ’s regime is proof that economic frameworks and policies work in Nigeria. Telco is one great example.
I wish my father had started exercising much earlier in his life. I also wish he had started exercising late. He died at the age of 69. Just 9 years older than Tony Elumelu today.
I was listening to Sanjay Gupta on a walk yesterday and he revealed how exercise builds brain cells

Why I made this tweet....
I've always known @PeterObi, I was living in Anambra State as a student of ANSU Igbariam when he was governor, the Igbariam campus was still undergoing construction, there was barely any access road to the school.
