The post Chess Maestro Tunde Onakoya’s Quest to Break the Guinness World Record appeared first on Rededit Magazine.
]]>As the founder of Chess in Slums, Tunde Onakoya is determined to break the Guinness World Record for the longest marathon chess play, extending the previous record by an additional 2 hours. This surpasses the previous record of 56 hours, achieved by Hallvard Flatebo and Sjur Ferkingstad in Norway in 2018.
While Tunde cherishes the prospect of achieving this feat, his primary goal is to raise $100,000 for the Chessinslums initiative. The attempt began on April 17, 2024, and is scheduled to conclude on April 19.
Tunde has already surpassed the 30-hour mark without being defeated, even by New York’s top chess master, Shawn Martinez. Many Nigerians in New York City and beyond have visited the square to show their support for Tunde, and additional support from Nigerians is being felt online. Furthermore, Tunde has received encouraging messages from current and former Nigerian vice president, Kashim Shettima and Yemi Osibajo.
Two hours into the marathon, Tunde was reportedly tired and had taken a total of 30 minutes in breaks, with an allocated 5 minutes per hour. This achievement marks a significant milestone for Chess in Slums and the Nigerian community as a whole, following the recent record-breaking achievement by Nigerian Hilda Baci.
To support the movement and contribute to raising $100,000 for the Chess in Slums initiative, individuals can follow updates on this marathon on various social media platforms, share the news, and donate directly to the cause.

]]>Porsha Williams announced their engagement in may 2021 to Simon Guobadia , who is an ex husband of her co star Falynn Pina, the divorce came as a shock to the public.
Where Porsha shared on her instagram
“Our relationship began a month ago-yes we are crazy in love. I know it’s fast but we are living life each day to its fullest. I choose happiness every morning and every night. Tuning out all negative energy and only focused on positive wishes. He makes me so happy and to me, that is what matters most.
For all of you that need facts, I get the optics but Simon filed for divorce from a previous marriage in January. I had nothing to do with their divorce filing.
That’s between the two of them.
Falynn and I are not friends, and Simon’s divorce has been settled. Our relationship is a positive, loving step forward in everybody’s lives.
Simon and Dennis are committed to being respectful and supportive of my happiness in this situation, as well as being the best co-parents they can be to baby PJ. Two black men stepping up and being amazing people-let’s praise them!!!!
It’s truly a beautiful moment in my life & we cannot wait to spend the rest of our lives together. xo P #LoveWins”
Rumor has it that the divorce was as a result of Simon’s past rumbling up. But no definite news has been put on , about the cause of their divorce.
Porsha Williams has been away from the Tv series for 2 years now. And she has shown so much excitement to be back.
