A Nigerian man by the name Tunde Onakoya is currently attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the longest chess marathon, and he has gone twenty-four hours already.
Nigerian singer Davido showed up to the scene of the chess marathon in order to encourage him and boost his confidence.
In the video, you can see Tunde and Davido hugging, and after that, he went back to his chair with a smile on his face.
It was clear that Davido’s presence there boosted Tunde’s confidence a bit, and gave him much needed confidence.
Davido is known for being very supportive of fellow Nigerians, as he always shows up for them. Right before he went to support Tunde Onakoya, he had a show in New York. Although he may have been exhausted, he still showed up for a fellow compatriot.
A lot of Nigerians have recently been doing ground breaking things that have made it to the global scene.
Last year, Hilda Baci entered the Guinness Book of World Records for the longest cooking time, which she called the ‘cookathon’.
Recently, a Nigerian lady by the name Pelumi Nubi set out to drive from London to Lagos, and although she encountered a few hitches, she made it just in time.
Pelumi Nubi successful hit the record as the first woman to drive from London to Lagos, and got her flowers, as she was being praised nationwide.
Apart from breaking world records, Nigerians are doing other ground breaking things like being the first Afro-beats act to perform at the Grammys as a performer. Africa got to experience this honor because of Burnaboy at the Grammys 2024.
Davido also did something groundbreaking, when he got to launch the first Music and Arts faculty in Africa, while he was in Uganda. He also got an entire hall in the school named after him.
