Onakoya is the founder of Chess in Slums Africa, an organisation noted for changing the lives of abandoned young people through the game of chess.
Recall that Onakoya set a Guinness World Record for the longest game of chess after playing for 58 hours in New York City.
This attracted a lot of media attention and has now culminated in his parents getting a house.
He wrote on X:
"Someone gifted my parents a new house today. It’s the single greatest thing anyone will ever do for me in this lifetime. Thank you. My mother worked as a cleaner in the same school I attended so I could get an education, while my dad worked as a Danfo driver/bus conductor so we could feed and survive. My greatest joy in life is to be able to give them both the life they truly deserve."
