It snowed last night...
8:00 am: I made a snowman.
8:10 - A feminist passed by and asked me why I didn't make a snow woman.
8:15 - So, I made a snow woman.
8:17 - My feminist neighbor complained about the snow woman's voluptuous chest saying it objectified snow women everywhere.
8:20 - The gay couple living nearby threw a hissy fit and moaned it could have been two snow men instead.
8:22 - The transgender man..women...person asked why I didn't just make one snow person with detachable parts.
8:25 - The vegans at the end of the lane complained about the carrot nose, as veggies are food and not to decorate snow figures with.
8:28 - I was being called a racist because the snow couple is white.
8:31 - The middle eastern gent across the road demanded the snow woman be covered up .
8:40 - The Police arrived saying someone had been offended.
8:42 - The feminist neighbor complained again that the broomstick of the snow woman needed to be removed because it depicted women in a domestic role.
8:43 - The council equality officer arrived and threatened me with eviction.
8:45 - TV news crew showed up. I was asked if I know the difference between snowmen and snow-women? I replied "Snowballs" and am now called a sexist.
9:00 - I was on the News as a suspected terrorist, racist, homophobe sensibility offender, bent on stirring up trouble during difficult weather.
9:29 - Far left protesters offended by everything marched down the street demanding for me to be arrested.
By noon it all melted
Moral:
There is no moral to this story. It is what this world has become, all because of snowflakes.
I never "try to be equal", like, oh I will try to hire more women... If you try that, you are unequal.
I hire the best people. Just turns out 50% are female.🤷♂️
“Today, I officially retire from professional football. The journey has been filled with challenges, victories, and lessons that shaped me into who I am today. Though I hang up my boots, my purpose in the game continues — to give back, to guide, and to be a voice for players.
This is ABDULLAHI, He's an AC/FRIDGE Engineer! I gave him 12K to buy COMPRESSOR and fix in my AC, He took the AC for repair, fixed it, returned it with my 12K and told me that the compressor was okay, but just a minor relay problem which he said was 500 naira.
ABDULLAHI could've told me he had bought the compressor, I won't know. And the truth be say, even if na me, I for fall yakata for dis kain temptation.
With people like ABDULLAHI, I believe there's indeed hope for a NEW NIGERIA.
This is his phone number 08162978209, please patronise him. When you call him, tell him DJ gave you his number....Thanks FAM!

OUR AEROSPACE MISSION🚀:
Before Elon Musk came into the scene, NASA used to spend about $1.5 billion to send payload to space via the space Shuttle, this man came in, saw gaps, designed his own rockets & made it so cheap that it costs just $65 million to send payload to space using the Falcon9 rockets by spaceX
I have seen gaps as well, I have technically perfected my own designs, especially for the African Market, the average Jet engine/gas turbine is so expensive, my work on developing our own indigenous engines has shown me that we can crunch the average costs by 70%; this will mean access to more affordable gas turbines for power generation etc, engines for manned flight may take longer as human lives are involved, so intensive testing is necessary.
It is a very big & difficult mission, super capital intensive, but I will never give up, industry players etc laughed at Elon when he started, they aren't laughing at him today.
And for the myopic few who may not see what this means for Nigeria & Africa, for those thinking I'm trying to reinvent the wheel, let me remind you that this same gas turbine can be used for power generation at small, medium & industrial scales, maybe it may help us get closer to having larger power generation figures when deployed in clusters.
This will give us independence from foreign powers in this space, for some aircraft, especially in the military, for power generation, it's giants like SIEMENS & GE, u will have to fly in their own foreign engineers for deep maintenance as they never teach our guys everything.
Never forget how we started this journey.
Hopefully, we get the resources we need to make this a full reality

Most of the victims were refugees forced to move due to previous Islamist attacks. They had been granted shelter by a local Catholic mission.
The Islamist massacres of Christians continue in Nigeria’s Middle Belt and the world stays silent.
No protest marches in London for these victims…
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.
-Tunde Onakoya
It is now clearly obvious that this is the best JAMB result since 2017, that’s since the last 9 years. From the worst result few weeks ago to the best few weeks later.
I saw it, I knew it and I was right!
If there was anytime during the attempt I almost gave up, it was in the 50th hour. I had started hallucinating. My body was breaking and my Bronchitis had gotten worse.
But as I looked beside me, there they were-Mary,Mabel,Ivie, Ferdinand and Jamiu playing right beside me right in the heart of Times Square.
Children who came from places the world forgets, now standing tall in Times Square and showcasing their talent to the world. They were no longer invisible.
It was the reminder I needed that my fight was a different one. So I steadied my trembling hands and made the next move. The game wasn’t over yet, neither were we….
We made it to the 64th hour. The rest as they say is history.
We did the impossible and gave the world something new to believe in.
Official record holders of the Longest Chess Marathon for 64 hours.
We did it❤️🇳🇬🇵🇷
Faceless individuals want to buy Enugu International Airport
Who are the owners of the consortium?
@fkeyamo if you have no conflict of interest, you should let Nigerians know who is buying this very important asset
What is their experience and asset base? Are they politically exposed?
Is the consortium registered?
