Writing on the microblogging site, X, Tunde Onakoya wrote,

ā€œJust before I traveled to America, I called my dad and gave him my only car. he had sold his taxi 13 years ago so I could pay for my WAEC and JAMB examination fees. The joy on his face brought tears- it was the least I could do for my parents who sacrificed everything so I could get an Education.

It wasnā€™t clear how I was going to get a new car without spending a fortune but i had faithā€

He went forward to write,

“Yesterday, I got a call from
@OluwatobiAjayiJ the CEO of @nordmotion
, inviting me to his office for a chat and a chess match.

During our conversation, he proposed an outrageous deal: if I could beat him, I could choose any car in their showroom for free. Knowing he was a strong chess player from our previous game analyses(Although we had never played before), I accepted the challenge. After about an hour of intense play, I managed to win from a very complex position.ā€

Becoming An Ambassador

Onakoya wrote further in his X post,

ā€œThis all still feels surreal, but I’m thrilled to announce that I am now a global brand ambassador for
@nordmotion
motors and the proud owner of a NORD A7 suv built and assembled in Nigeria.
Life really isnā€™t scripted, and Iā€™m super grateful to be able to use my gift to inspire the world and affect lives positively. This has inadvertently brought a lot of goodness my way too and this love is one Iā€™ll never take for granted.ā€
