Renowned Nigerian chess maestro and global figure, Tunde Onakoya, has set social media abuzz following a playful exchange involving Nollywood legend, Genevieve Nnaji.
What began as a light and seemingly innocent comment quickly snowballed into a viral moment, capturing the attention and amusement of fans across various platforms.
It all unfolded on Sunday, July 20, after Genevieve, 46, made a rare social media appearance by posting a radiant photo from actress Rita Dominic’s 50th birthday bash. Her timeless beauty and elegance instantly captivated fans.
Among the flood of comments, one from 30-year-old Onakoya stood out. The internationally celebrated chess star known for his Guinness World Record and humanitarian initiatives simply dropped a “Hi” beneath the post. That single word became a catalyst for a wave of online reactions.
Taking the banter a notch higher, Onakoya later tweeted:
“Hmmm. I see that the competition is quite tough. I’ll only concede if any other suitor can beat me in a chess match.”
The witty remark fueled a flurry of jokes and memes, with users humorously claiming he had traded “chess for chest,” in reference to his flirtatious gesture toward the screen icon.
As the excitement grew, Onakoya humorously attempted to tone it down with another tweet:
“Let’s calm down guys. I was only wondering if she wanted to buy my chess board.”
Despite the disclaimer, the internet wasn’t done. Some praised his smooth approach, while others simply reveled in the unique crossover of romance and chess charm that lit up the timeline.
