[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.

What those raving lunatics did to Tunde yesterday was really unfair but as God will not forsake his people, nothing they do will ever touch Tunde. He is worldwide and beyond cancellation.

The brighter side of yesterday was the fact that every sensible person on the TL condemned the nonsense of the headless mob. The wholesome e-diots self-identified themselves with their futile attempt to bring down and cast aspersions on the personality of a man that everyone who has met him can vouch 100% for his integrity. They turned themselves to a groups of zombies and rabid infested dogs, barking senselessly and making asinine points just because they have the power of brainless RTs behind them.

God will keep us all alive.

[Ahmed @Boladeismyname]

Lol. Thank God for documentation. We all saw how he transformed the kids' lives. They grew in all ramifications, from under the bridge in Oshodi, to international acclaim.
While the likes of you do nothing, but wait for moments like this to cast aspersions.

Horrible!

[Sir Dickson @Wizarab10]

"If Nigeria dey work, you for no dey under bridge dey teach chess."

You classless piece of shit!

Did Nigeria work for him? When he was under bridges with torn shoes and worn-out shirts, sharing his poverty with kids and using chess to keep them off the street, what were you doing? When he was fathering kids he couldn't afford to look after, where were you? You're in the same Nigeria, what impact have you created?

You're forcing endorsement on him. When he visited Atiku, was that an endorsement of Atiku? If he visits Obi tomorrow, is that an endorsement of Obi? Have you seen him in any political discussion? Miss me with American celebs refusing to visit Trump. They were just mad he won election. Obama was an actual criminal, and they were endorsing him. Heck! They were supporting Clinton above Trump. They same way you're claiming Tunde and celebrating him, is how everyone else is claiming him.

Again, leave Tunde alone. He is not your problem. He is focused on eradicating childhood poverty and giving hope to disprivileged children. He has chosen to be apolitical and accord everyone same courtesy. When you're successful, even your enemies would ask for an autograph. It is the way of life. Stop looking to popular figures to fight your fight. If you're hungry enough, you'll enter street and burn everywhere down. Lets fight this fight ourselves.

Tunde is not a lickspittle. Stop confusing him with people raw-dogging politicians for favours. He keeps travelling around the world, playing with dollar billionaires and multi-millionaires, who love what he is doing with chess. Those are the people that will actually part with real money to fund his Chess hub that fights against childhood deprivation.

Don't think yourself honourable or a person of integrity if you're not in a position to have it tested. No person of actual importance is according you honour. No one is parting with big money for your endorsement. No one is inviting you to privilege spaces. All you do is press phone and make allegations. Fight for your life in this country

How did you people think he was going to get recognition for the national honor???

I’m definitely reposting any Ojude Oba pictures or videos I see on my timeline today. #ijebuode

I chop Wizkid's "Peace of my heart" everyday like food, lyrically he is too blessed and I think it's unwise to compare him to other Afrobeats superstars not only in Nigeria but the world. Music is a feeling, and Big Wiz got that feeling

Allah has called my mum to today.

The life she lived was a blessing. In accordance with Islamic customs, her Janazah (buria rights ) will be performed tomorrow morning at Adrobaa.

Do remember her in your Duas.

[Man of Letters. @Letter_to_Jack]

My work today is simple:

I see any Ojude Oba related posts, I RT. Until we get edited videos and photos.

So, help me God. Amen.

[Ilemona @I_Am_Ilemona]

Having spent a great deal of the last 6 years seeing themselves every day, some of these people will never see themselves again.

Their feelings are really valid.
