Onakoya was thankful for the sacrifices made by his parents to ensure that he was educated.
Nigerian Chess maestro, Tunde Onakoya, has continued his celebratory mood off his world record feat as an unnamed Good Samaritan just gifted a house to his parents.
The emotion-filled Onakoya announced the gesture to his parents in a post on hisX handle on Friday, April 26, 2024.
Overwhelmed by the act, the chess enthusiast expressed his heartfelt gratitude to his parents for their sacrifices to ensure he was educated.
Despite his father's initial disapproval of his passion for chess, Onakoya acknowledged his unwavering support in several other ways, which propelled him to this current height.
“Today, an angel blessed my parents with a new home. It stands as the epitome of the greatest act of kindness I’ll ever witness in this lifetime. Thank you.
“My mother toiled as a janitor in the very institution where I pursued my education, ensuring I had the opportunity to learn. Meanwhile, my father navigated the chaotic streets as a Danfo driver and conductor, tirelessly striving to put food on our table.
“To afford them the life they truly deserve is the greatest joy life could ever bestow upon me.” Onakoya wrote.
