Chess master, Tunde Onakoya said his parents received a gift of a house from someone.
In an X post, Onakoya said he was so happy and proud that his parents were getting what they deserved.
Onakoya is the founder of Chess in Slum, an organisation noted for changing the lives of abandoned young people through the game of chess.
Recall that Onakoya set a Guinness World Record for the longest game of chess after playing for 58 hours in New York City.
This attracted a lot of media attention and has now culminated in his parents getting a house.
He wrote on X:
“Someone gifted my parents a new house today. It’s the single greatest thing anyone will ever do for me in this lifetime. Thank you. My mother worked as a cleaner in the same school I attended so I could get an education, while my dad worked as a Danfo driver/bus conductor so we could feed and survive. My greatest joy in life is to be able to give them both the life they truly deserve.”
