- 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

"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
His speech is damn clean, eloquent as good as his chess dexterity. Keep soaring high
His shaky voice just tells how emotional this makes him feel. Nothing as surreal as living a dream!
Nervous. Not within his comfort zone
Education is not just the certificate that you have, education is the capacity for critical thoughts, independent thoughts and for problem solving.
"A pawn can transition into a Queen, as it becomes powerful"
Congratulations Tunde! 👏
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
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
Am I the only one who feels he wants to cry while speaking?
This is so inspiring 👏🏾
The amount of grit it takes to rise above the circumstances you grew up in. Give this man his flowers 💐
He is king
💐💐💐🌷🌷🌻
💐💐💐
Yoh🥺❤️
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.
There are decades where nothing happens but there are weeks where decades happen! Keep putting in the work 🙌
"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
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 . 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
❤❤❤
TH-cam 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 😂😅
Sometime in the future, this TED talk will be helpful to give context to someone writing the screenplay for your documentary! I see it.
Powerful oratory and storytelling skills. Respect brother ✌🏽
"Potential is nothing if not realised" Tunde Onakoya

1. A pawn can transition to a queen.
2. Build capacity in the dark.
a paw can transition to a queen ! this is deep
@@Comfortdevelopers Very!
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😊
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!!!
I clicked on this video because I am a TED fan, I watch TED a lot. And this time, I'm being recommended a great one.
"Potential is nothing, if it is not realised" (Tunde Onakoya).
This is truly amazing!
You give hope. Thank you Tunde Onakoya
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 😭
I learnt chess by watching too..... Thank you World record breaker

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..
My guy... Big up Tunde nwanne 🇳🇬✅

He is well articulated ❤❤❤
That’s the same I plan to do for checkers back home in Sierra Leone 🇸🇱
Thanks for leading the way
I like how he said he was an Olodo and every Olodo is so special these people just don’t see the star arising.
I teared up... May we have the patience to build our dreams.
Hmmm “potential is nothing if it’s not realized” thanks for this ❤❤❤❤
His story is lovely, and his experience growing up is exceptional, that’s a big bonus to life.
It is possible to do great things from a small place❤.
