From street hawker to global changemaker—an unforgettable true story of hope, grit, and purpose.
Tunde Onakoya: The Chess Champion tells the inspiring true story of a young boy from Ketu, Lagos, who turned adversity into opportunity. Born into challenging circumstances, Tunde discovered the game of chess while hawking fruits in a slum in Ikorodu—and that single moment changed the course of his life.
Driven by curiosity and a passion for learning, Tunde didn’t just rise above his circumstances—he made it his mission to lift others with him. In 2021, he founded Chess In Slums Africa, a life-changing initiative that has empowered thousands of children from underserved communities across Nigeria.
From teaching kids under Oshodi Bridge to representing a movement on the global stage, Tunde’s journey is a powerful reminder that where you start doesn’t determine where you can go.
Beautifully illustrated and full of heart, this biography will inspire children to:
- Dream big, no matter their background
- Embrace learning and resilience
- Believe they, too, can make a lasting difference
Perfect for children aged 6–12, classrooms, and families who love real-life stories that uplift and empower.
