Tunde Onakoya: I had to drop out of School at age 10 to help my parents – Chess Master Shares.

Growing up as an illegitimate child, Tunde battled with the shame that accompanied his childhood.

He struggled to survive, and then when things seemed to be getting better, his father’s only shop got demolished by the Lagos state government.

Tunde had to drop out of school because of financial challenges. It was during one of those struggling moments he decided to play chess at s barber’s shop, to meet up with some family needs.

After a while, Tunde resumed school and was privileged to be given a scholarship in exchange for his mother’s sa©rificed dignity to work as a cleaner in that school.

Recently, the 29 years old vibrant man took to his Tweeter account to announce his win, after breaking the 58-marathon Guinness world.

We’re proud of him, and Nigeria is very proud of him.
