33 min
Following up after their April 2025 trip to United Nations headquarters in New York, USA, we take a peek into Tunde Onakoya's Chess in the Slum Africa Project. Onakoya launched the initiative to provide educational and life-changing opportunities to marginalised youth. The project operates in slums such as Majidun (Ikorodu), Makoko, and Oshodi, utilising chess as a tool to teach critical thinking, problem-solving, resilience, and socio-emotional skills, thereby breaking the cycle of poverty. On this episode of 'What's Entertaining and What's Not', Chess is the Slum Africa gets the shine and we are all for it! Check it out to learn all about the Chess in the Slums Africa initiative! We also touched on Shannon Sharpe's rape allegation brought against him by his estranged girlfriend! Let's have your comments on this topic.
