Chess Marathon: Ezekwezili Praises Tunde Onakoya On New 60-Hour World Record by AmazingGenius: 11:08am On Apr 20
A former Minister of Education, Obiageli Ezekwesili, has hailed renowned chess master, Tunde Onakoya, for setting a new 60-hour chess marathon world record.

She expressed admiration for his achievement and cited a biblical passage, emphasizing the limitless possibilities for those who pursue their dreams.

Celebrating him on her X account, she wrote, “And it came to pass. 1 Corinthians 2v9.

“But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love Him.

“Congratulations to you, #Tunde_OD !

“Your purposeful life will phenomenally unlock all you need to fulfil your dream for children today and generations to come. Godspeed!”

Onakoya broke the record of Norwegian players Hallvard Haug Flatebø and Sjur Ferkingstad, who played for 56-hour, 9-minute in 2018.

Giving an update, his foundation, Chess in Slums Africa, wrote, “60 Hours for those who dare to dream! 60 Hours for the millions of children who have been told to abandon their dreams!

“60 Hours because one person decided that there is no future worth dreaming of that does not include them! It is now #Tunde60HoursofChess #Tunde_OD”

The new record holder said his attempt was to raise funds and awareness for providing educational opportunities to underprivileged children across Africa.

How many games did he play in that 60 hours of his?

Just imagine comments and see how these kids are fighting each other.
Tribalism has eaten into their empty skulls.
This is what the owner of the forum and his tribalistic 'moderator' wanted.

Congrats tunde.
The level of hate some people exhibit on this forum is appalling.
You begin to wonder if they were ever trained with love

I appreciate your interest in Igbo language
at least if you want to insult your mom in another language learn how to spell the words.

My Mom and Dad are everything your parents wish they were . No cap I won't explain further.

I won't stoop so low to insult your parents I wasn't raised that way .

Thanks for telling the world how you were raised wink
