Meanwhile, Legit.ng previously reported that a boy with cerebral palsy had emerged chess champion of Makoko.
The founder of Chess in Slums Africa, Tunde Onakoya, had first shared the emotional story of a Nigerian child, Ferdinard, who became a chess champion.
In April, the chess instructor said that his team met him and introduced the young boy to the game. He said a few minutes afterwards, the young boy outperformed everyone.
Tunde disclosed that he soon discovered the boy was a master chess player after he was able to solve a complex knight move.
His team visited the young boy’s family and discovered they barely had enough to survive on. The tutor added that though he had never heard him say anything in the English language, he uttered “champion” as he held his trophy.
