Jamiu takes down Grayson-New York State elementary champion in a grueling endgame battle!

One step closer towards gaining the USCF national master title. Go Jamiu🇳🇬👏🏾

Jamiu secures his first huge win of the summer, converting a rook / pawn endgame against Grayson, who is the 2026 NY State Elementary Champion with a peak rating of over 2100 USCF.

I can only imagine the kind of hate-watching Ronaldo is on right now.

He’s probably wearing an Egyptian jersey as we speak.

Heading to San Francisco in a couple of days and I’m ridiculously excited.
Ever since I was a kid, it’s been a dream of mine visit Silicon Valley.

To my SF folks, what are the absolute must-see places?

[Tunde Onakoya @Tunde_OD]

Congratulations!
Thank you for giving these children a chance to shine their lights on a global stage.

Posterity will forever be kind to you. This is Day1

Coward. @adeniran

Of course I will age gracefully with a legacy a moron like you in your 50s will never be able to dream of.

Keep fooling. X

[Tunde Onakoya @Tunde_OD]

There are two ways to be in this world, one is to be like Alex who has given his life and resource to empowering children and making their greatness known to the world. I met him once and he’s a truly remarkable guy. I have supported in a small capacity and encouraged others to do the same.

The second way is to be a moron like this guy who posits himself as a faux intellectual whose only claim to relevance is making snide comments like this one and forever hoping someone important notices.

One of these people is doing meaningful work and changing lives, the other doesn’t matter.

Be like Alex.

[Tunde Onakoya @Tunde_OD]

I must show courage in my efforts 🫡

[The Gift of Chess @thegiftofchess]

I must win and if I don’t. I must show courage in my efforts.
