A knight's tale: How chess is keeping children off the streets in Nigeria
In a country where boys who escape poverty mostly do it through football, with names such as Odion Ighalo, Anthony Nwakaeme, and Emmanuel Emenike, to name a few, Tunde took a unique route. Since September 2018, he has been helping kids, in situations similar to his, in the best way he knew - the chess board. "Tunde imagined a world where children have the opportunity to reach their full potential and they don't have to drop out of school to continue the cycle of poverty. The idea of Chess in Slums Africa was conceived," said Awobajo.
