- This Tedx talks about how actions and steps young people see as "little" can make a difference in the lives of people and society. Tunde Onakoya is a Nigerian National Chess Master and coach. He founded Chess in Slums Africa in 2017. This non-profit organization utilizes the game of chess as a tool for social intervention-a bridge between disadvantaged kids and their ambitions, a framework to give children in impoverished communities access to tuition-free education, learning resources, and mentorship opportunities. Slowly and steadily, the project is rewriting a new narrative and building an inclusive future for every African child. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Who is here after his Guinness World Record? 🖐️✅

"There are weeks and decades when nothing happens. And there are weeks when decades happen. When that moment comes, you must be ready for it. Keep building capacity" 🎉
Exactly, thank you
Touching. Insightful. Thank you.
Words on marble ❤
13:25 It is possible to do great things from a small place
14:07 There are weeks when nothing happens...
I’m literally crying. Tunde, May God continue to announce you to the world. I’m proud of you. From an “area girl”
😂😂😂😂
@@uprightnesseziukwu8283it’s crazy man, how suddenly everyone de pray for the guy
Nawa o 😂😂😂
Go straight to the point. That deep vocals dey do you something bah😅😅
His speech is damn clean, eloquent as good as his chess dexterity. Keep soaring high
Education is not just the certificate that you have, education is the capacity for critical thoughts, independent thoughts and for problem solving.
He was labelled an 'olodo' (dullard) by his promary school teacher.
Imagine that!
I hope that teacher is still alive today to see what Tunde has become.
Tunde is in Guinness book of records.
Patrice Evra came to see him in Lagos.
The governor of Lagos, Sanwo-Olu hosted him.
He was the cynosure of all eyes as he played in New York Times Square.
His picture was on the billboard in Times Square.
He's travelling round the world ...
I doubt if anyone but his patients would have known about his existence if he got that 1mark and became a doctor.
Just an Ikorodu boy who learned to play chess.
Never despise small beginnings.
The amount of grit it takes to rise above the circumstances you grew up in. Give this man his flowers 💐
He is king

"A pawn can transition into a Queen, as it becomes powerful"
Congratulations Tunde! 👏
His shaky voice just tells how emotional this makes him feel. Nothing as surreal as living a dream!
Nervous. Not within his comfort zone
@@davidoluwadare2787could be nerves but nun bout not being in his comfort zone; man’s been public speaking for a min now. So either just regular nerves while speaking as everyone usually has or he really was emotional.
@chiemxerxobi it's nerves. I'm a public speaker too
What a speech!!!
I was really down for the most part of today and i went to church this evening.
Usually God would speak to me, comfort me, correct me When i go to church like that.
But today was different, i wasn't feeling any better after the service.
Cane back home sitting on the chair in my room, having soo much to get done but no life(strength)to get sh*t done.
The Holy made me open this app and this is the first video I'm seeing.
I feel better now!!!
"Education is not just the certificate that you have, education is the capacity for critical thoughts, independent thoughts and for problem solving"...
God bless Tunde Onakoya
Sometime in the future, this TED talk will be helpful to give context to someone writing the screenplay for your documentary! I see it.
The cleanest speech I have ever heard. Continue to soar higher sir... I remembered some few years ago when you helped some siblings out the slum. You gave them a roof over their head and because they have left school along time , you employed a tutor for them so they can fit in back into their appropriate classes. I shared this story with my kids back then and I still reminded them again . Saying "Do you remember that brother that helped those children , come and see him again ". Thanks so much for all you do for Humanity . 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
❤❤❤
I'm honestly speechless. You were born for this Tunde. All II can say is "May I not live on this earth without doing the thing I was born to do"
Una go just de lie Mehnn
The major key in life is to use one's gift-most important
AMEN! IJN
Tunde onakoya should be celebrated more than afrobeats artists that only sells noise, smoking weed and big booty girls! This is the Africa we know, great job Tunde
Everybody has their own story to tell, same principles that saw him through is the same ones that sees another through irrespective of the field one finds themselves, thats what a success story is all about
Agreed
Powerful oratory and storytelling skills. Respect brother ✌🏽
There are decades where nothing happens but there are weeks where decades happen! Keep putting in the work 🙌
I wanted to scroll past this video but thank God I didn't.
This is powerful speech Tunde. You spoke brilliantly and the last statement you made using analogy will remain with me.
I can do Great things from a small place.
Smart guy. Didn't know him until his Guinness world record attempt. He's truly fascinating. A true area boy ❤❤❤
Above it all, it's how u blend Yoruba cap attire with cooperate outfit. Proud of you bro
Nigeriansss in the room. I love to see my people thrive !!!
So inspiring..
"At the interception of your own privilege and another person's oppression, you find real opportunities to make a change."
Africa is so blessed, yet so stressed with so many unrealized dreams and untapped potentials. Tunde is indeed one of the few game changers around..
Your speech was so beautiful, eloquent, powerful, educational, inspiring and impactful ❤. Thank you for healing my soul and broken heart with your story. I am at that “three years-like decade “ where everything appears to cease, no job, no connection, no money to further my education, no clarity and no money. Let me keep building capacity and like a Pawn Queen, my “few weeks in a Decade” will come.
Keep doing exploits Tunde😊
Your background does not determine what you'll become. Tunde has proved before doubt that you can do great things from a small place . Keep ruling. It's your time. You have build resilience, discipline yourself to be what you are today. May I find purpose and fulfil my destiny . At 29 , oh Tunde, God bless you for the lives you have touched through your NGO chess in slum. I'm emotional 😭
RUclips algorithm never disappoint 🎉
I swear 😂
It boosted the video at the right time like f*** 😂
Yes oh
Even a video of 12 years will resurface and trend suddenly at the right time 😂😅
