Chess champion and Guinness World Record holder Tunde Onakoya unveils 50 exclusive Adire-patterned chessboards, priced at ₦1 million each. Profits will partly fund a free school project in Nigeria.
- Onakoya designed 50 hand-crafted chessboards inspired by traditional Adire textile art.
- Each purchase includes personal delivery and a chess lesson/game with Onakoya himself.
- Half of the profits will go towards building a tuition-free school for underserved children in Nigeria.
“This is more than just chess. It’s culture, education, and hope in one set,” Onakoya shared via social media. The initiative has drawn praise from fans, with Davido reportedly buying five sets in support.
Could this fusion of local artistry, global sport, and social impact redefine philanthropy in Nigeria? How many more changemakers might follow this model?
