- He Transformed the Most Dangerous Place in Lagos, Nigeria is a video about me visiting Oshodi which is home to one of the scariest places in Nigeria where area boys live, and showing you how it has been changed to a classroom through the game of chess by Tunde Onakoya.
Oshodi has been known to be one of the scariest and dangerous places to visit for a very long time and it's amazing to see the transformation happening and I will love you guys to support the mission.

Tayo is the best African UA-camr. This man's content is fire consistently. No politics. No negativity. No pitting of Africans against each other. Just beautiful positive vibes about our continent. From a South African fan. 🇳🇬🇿🇦
Well said
Good vibes 👍
This is the comment I was looking for.

What's up maya big fan right here
Maya drop kilomanjaro video please
I Dey wait for your own. Please give us content my G 😁
I got really touched with what Olaoluwa said when he was asked what he wanted to become in future. He said " I want to become a soldier so I can fight for my country".
This is someone thinking of giving back to his country that didn't do much for him
That was my first thought as well. Such a selfless kid that cares about a country that has never done anything for him
“ I want to fight for my country” wow I’d never have said that as a child
I was touched when the young guy said he wanted to become a soldier because he wants to fight for the country
This is a real African spirit 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
God bless him, for bringing the best out of these kids…. His contribution is changing life’s….. Tayo we need a separate video about Oshodi , who is with me on this.
Praise the Lord. Our lives on earth is not for self preservation or prestige but to make impacts in people and communities. Thank you for transformation of that place. Residents shall now use their God given natural gifts,abilities and academic qualifications to earn a living. Thank you.
Dear TAF, please can you do a different story about this Oshodi bus stop /terminal.
Oshodi is gradually returning to what it was (ROBBERS DEN) before BRF came and cleared it but lately it's getting real bad again.
This young boys needs to be re-engaged through games as this.
Our government with the biggest and largest fund has not thought about THIS.
Yes
I am with you
@@sikazwejerry4620 Yes !
I'm a Nigerian raised and living in the UK, and I really appreciate these videos. I feel I will eventually be back to Nigeria indefinitely. I need to build back home.
We are happy to welcome you back home
My guy
Lovely!!!
Nice one
Ok
When the young dude was asked (by Tayo) what he wants to become in the future, and he responded that he wants to be a soldier and fight for his country. Tears literally run down from my eyes😭
This boy’s heartfelt concern is the insecurity in the country. He has seen a lot in His 6months under that bridge. So many injustices and inadequate security many citizens of Nigeria 🇳🇬 are facing on a daily basis. GOD BLESS HIS HEART and TAYO AINA films ❤️💕
Yeah it is really heartbreaking to hear him say that
But their oppressors’ kids don’t aim at fighting for Nigeria but milking her. There’s God o. Tayo Aina you are doing well. Peace
The irony in what Olaoluwa said about what he wants to become in a future.
Said it with zeal of becoming a soldier and fight for his country.
Yet the country hasn’t provided the basic for him.
I pray they grow from here.
Thank you Tayo and Tunde 👏🏾
The country gave him a bridge to sit under
I was very emotional watching this. I am equally proud of Nigerians for their innovative and resilient sense of self.
This one really hit home for me. This was my neighborhood a place I called home for so many years. Most of these kids end up here with no fault of their own. Thank you Tunde for creating the vision and your team for accepting the responsibility to make an impact in their lives. Also thank you Tayo for creating an insightful content. People like you and the organization you highlighted in this video gives me much hope for a better Nigerian inspite of government or any political.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏾
Tears rolling down my cheeks 😂😂😂...
Amazing to see the story of our champions traveling on a wavelength. Unveiling their Royalty on a global scale💪🏽.Thank you Tayo for taking the time to document and share this❤️. #WeAreAllAreaBoys #ChessInSlumsAfrica #UnveilingRoyaltyInEveryChild #RaisingChampionsFromTheSlum
Thank you for the amazing initiative 🙏🏾
Support from 🇺🇲 brother you are an angel!I will be donating!
I support Humanitarian Organizations like these , I just donated, thanks for all you do for the children 💕
Please where is the link so we can support from across the diaspora? Love what you’re doing.
@@ezbrownmn The link is in the description box!
What a gem of a human being! The best part is sparking their imagination by taking them to banana island to have a feel of how far they can go in life! Tunde deserves a national award or recognition to encourage others to emulate his example!
Yes, that part🔥
Ultimately, it's everyday Nigerians that will change the narrative. Waiting on the government is like waiting for a train when the tracks haven't been laid yet.
@ Son of Ra WELL SAID!! 👍👍👍
And we should ALL start TODAY!🙏💕
@@Mkym365 Agreed!
OSHODI..NIGERIA, Mehnnn God bless this guy!! I grew up from a similar place in Ghana and I really know that feeling!! Changing the narratives indeed. Bless you Tayo too
Inspiring and motivating
Men that place Roged goon, I no fill tell you lie lai lai!! Olonnn
THIS TUnde is Simply an Angel. God bless him .
Amen
Tayo I love how balanced your channel is, you show the good and the bad and make suggestions on how to develop Nigeria. You ask thought provoking questions this is important.
Thank you 🙏🏾. Appreciate this
Exactly! you can tell the difference btw those that go for poverty tourism and those that really care. He is doing a great job showing us what these communities really need. 👍🏾
Yes, I also like it and it reality
From GH love you bro
This video made me cry and I haven’t even finished watching it yet, it breaks my heart that am living in NYC (New York, U.S.A) but still complaining about my life while these kids doesn’t even have homes. This made me appreciate my life more
Exactly how I feel 💯
Brother I’m in Brooklyn and watching this. I’m so grateful to God for everything he has done in my life and, and I still complain about life after watching this. I gave thanks to God almighty
@abs po you know homelessness is prevalent here as well too right; you’re probably not even from America if you’re saying that.
@abs po Yet you’re the one saying we’re spoiled when we’re evidently not; We’re probably not as less fortunate as Africans on the continent, but we still have struggles just like anyone else, and that should not be undermined.
@abs po That’s exactly what I just said, but you just decided to make an extended paragraph saying essentially the exact same thing as the message I sent prior. But we’re definitely not spoiled. Just because some people have opportunities doesn’t mean everyone has the same opportunities just because they live in the same country. A lot of people are less unfortunate then others.
I feel their happiness
It makes me smile bright
God bless uncle Tunde
God bless Tayo Aina
God bless us
God bless Nigeria

Thank you, Tayo for all you doing to highlight the importance and value of our people. If not for you, I wouldn't have the opportunity to do my part in this case. I have and will continue to support this cause. God bless you and your future.
Thanks Tayo & Tunde for this wonderful content. We ALL support you!
@Tayoaina , this is the most amazing video of yours I've ever watched ❤ 💖 . I swear to God, I shed tears.
We're blaming the Government when we're the Government.
"We're blaming the government when we're the government"
What a profound statement. I've always say that you don't have to be in government to make a positive impact in the community.
Thank you! Change begins with every single one of us!
When he said “I want to fight for my country” , my heart melted. God bless him, I hope he gets recruited somehow
That little boy, saying he hasn't eaten got me teary. We need to do more and I definitely will do more so help me God
Truly inspiring and God bless Tunde for turning their lives around and giving them hope and a chance to break the cycle and stereotypes!
And what do you say about Bola Tinubu who stole and keep stilling their state treasury, the cause of their destituteness?
I like to connect with this gentleman.
@@africanday7337 it's Tinubu and a host of other things! Our people need a mindset surgery and videos like this shows what can be done with a heart of compassion for others.
This was seriously dope. Great content man 🔥
Femi🙌🙌
Tayo...i'm a designer (Nikkyzam), so oshodi is always my first stop for fabric shopping. I pass by seeing these boys, especially the younger ones.. wondering how they end up under the bridge, I question if they have family or relatives that miss them or not. My friend and I talked about doing something like this but we don't yet have the manpower or finance to do so..but it's definitely something we look forward to doing. .In as much as some these kids might not want to go to school, some might be interested in learning a trade. We can connect them with verified mentors and track der progress. Well done for all that you do
Fawaz is definitely a future chess grandmaster!!! What Tunde is doing is truly remarkable, he has not only changed the lives of these boys and girls, but in doing so he has inspired an entire generation to dream and achieve the impossible. Well done Tayo for sharing and documenting this wonderful story.
He is realy doing great work and I will be happy for this story to reach more people and have them support this great mission. Thanks for Watching.
We need more people like him
@@TayoAinaFilms Thanks for this spirits, this is one of your best videos , my choice. Like you said MANY DON'T UNDERSTAND CHRISTMAS THE WAY WE DO.
@@arushanioshaka5600 We all need to do Our small parts individually, either through financial donation, or initing different impactful programs like this one.
Soo inspiring, Tunde is a good man, we need more good men extending their time to the less privileged, God bless him beyond measures. Also just donated as well💕 I would also add that if EVERY single Nigerian 🇳🇬 living in the Diaspora can at least donate $10 monthly to different vetted causes like this one to help others in NEED (Orphanages, Widows, the poor, trade, education, donate food etc), it would Drastically transform Nigeria for the BETTER!
Great initiative;!!! Let's keep empowering and building up each other. One love from Jamaica 🇯🇲❤️❤️❤️🇯🇲❤️🇯🇲❤️❤️❤️
Well done to the young man.
The churches can do a lot more to help these young people.
God bless everyone in this project in Jesus name.
Tunde is a gem, a rare one. God bless him and his team for all they are doing
This type of videos are what African UA-camrs need to create not just praising rich people but how much they have helped with lifting people out of poverty. There is a lot wrong with our society and many hands should be on deck .
If we want safe society we would have to address the problems of these poor people.
Amazing. This is a no mean achievement. The fear of Ishodi is the beginning of wisdom in those days. Tunde deserve an award 🏅🎖️🏆 for making positive change. Corporate organisations should sponsor this and take it to the next level and make the competition bigger and take young boys off the streets and crimes 👍
Those kids are generally smart, but poverty brought them to the streets of Lagos. I believe the people that showcase their wealth on Instagram in billions should be able to donate some money to help this poor children. Chief Obafemi Awolowo gave us all free education, but the education system in Nigeria is almost collapsing due to private institutions around the country. Tunde deserve an award and not just awards as in states award and federal award. Corrupt politicians are being given awards in Nigeria but not the people that impacted the people.
@@tayobibi You are right
What an amazing showcase, Nigeria is changing for good!!! Life is really about making impact and that's exacting what Chess Slum is doing and we must all take a leaf out of Tunde's book and do our part as little as we can and Nigeria would be a better and safer place. Congratulations to all the children and adult involved. I feel really inspired watching this video. What a way to end the year!!!
Thank you. Life is really about making an impact, we are the change we have been waiting for!
This is real change. Focus on human development and restoring the dignity of man, value of human person. 👏👏👏🏅
This put a smile and tears of joy on my face..
Same here
I’m not going to lie, I think you’ve found your niche bro. Inspiring Nigerians seems fun for you and I can tell you it’s fun for us so just keep doing it with the people you meet and letting us know their stories
Wow uncle Tunde God bless you .What an inspiration.
This is what giving to your community means! Wow fantastic.
This presentation is one of the best Christmas present ever, it is full of Inspiration - in a nation where despair and hopelessness are rampant and constantly fed by every day reality. Tunde, Tayo and Olaoluwa are connected by passion to fight for Nigeria in different ways. Olaoluwa wants to be a soldier to fight for Nigeria, Tunde had the courage to fight against the narratives by effecting a change within his capacity, Tayo is fighting by showing us how people like us are making a difference every single day against all odds. I really need this encouragement today. Thank you so much for putting this together. THANK YOU. 🙏🏽.
These lessons can be spread across the world, even here in Washington, DC. Life can be better and can get better. 🙏🏽
I would suggest that you add more subtitles for other languages so you can have a broader reach.This video is going to eventually blow up because it evokes a lot of emotions. Big up to Tunde and his team for this altruistic initiative and you, Tayo for this amazing exposé.
Tayo and Tunde are out here on Christmas day...just wow. We love you brothers, please keep this content coming.
Man, this piece is so emotional. Tears literally rolled down my cheek while watching this.
Thanks for getting such a great coverage of this, Tayo. Phenomenal act by the "Chess Initiative" as well_repairing the breaches and shifting paradigms.
Sending out lot of hugs and prayers. Xx❤️❤️
This really moved me 🥺. Great job to Tunde and well done Tayo!
I need to get in touch with Tunde to see how the Oshodi family members can help him push his program. I believe the family still hold some influence in large parts of Lagos
U need his contact info
Tunde's website is listed in the video description box above so you can reach out
It is refreshing and heartwarming to see people like Tunde going out there and trying to make a difference in the life of Children and people in general. But at the same time, it is sad that the government are not doing more to give their people, especially children more chances at a better life. Governments all over Africa must do more to eradicate poverty and give better opportunities for their people to live a decent and happy life. Big up to Tunde.
I think the lesson here is not to wait for the government, even under the best of conditions there is still room for non-governmental efforts. Maybe not Nigeria but many African governments cannot afford to do it all.
@@lydiafomuso7168 I understand that but there are some basic things that most African government can do especially when it comes to children.
@@djb.8507 True.
@@lydiafomuso7168 well said and 100% in agreement. Most Afrikan governments have no desire of establishing all-inclusive institutions. There are so much insufficient provisions that many Afrikan nations are forced to succumb to. For me, Infrastructure development is key. Healthcare, education, environmental sanitation, employment, are some areas Afrikan governments most anon fixate their budget in solving.

This made me cry seriously. This are the program all well to do persons needs to support. Was born in Mafoluku Oshodi but never grew up there but happy seeing this happen. Changing the story.
one of my great uncles used to live by the old Oshodi station.... RIP Papa Alfred Oshodi
I was born in mafoluku oshodi too. Went to primary school there for a while😊
I'm proud seeing this ... Proud of Nigerians like this.
Such a heartwarming story. I follow Tunde on twitter and he is really changing the lives of these young boys. Thanks for highlighting this story. I will have to make a donation now.
Thank you 🙏🏾. Every support is appreciated 🙏🏾
What's his Twitter handle?
I am so impressed with how Brother Tunde has changed the lives of these young Men and women in Oshodi, May GOD continue to Bless Him and His Family, Weldon Tunde. and thanks for sharing Tayo bless you.
God bless this tunde guy.
I like to associate with people who bring solutions rather that those who repeatedly lament about the problems over and over again. Big up to the gentleman.
I hadn't even finished watching the video, I was already impressed by this man's mindset. It's true that one man or woman can make a difference. This is indeed inspiration. I know about Oshodi very well. But this man is reversing those experiences with the introduction of Chess. Masterpiece.
What an inspirational way to end the year Tayo. Well done for bringing the humane work Tunde is doing into public domain. He deserves every recognition for touching the lives of these young people.
Well done Tunde, truly inspirational!
God bless these young men and women and God bless Mr Tunde Onakoya
Y'all please consider donating to the GFM to help sponsor their ongoing and future projects. Thanks y'all
Tunde simply just changed their lives and we also all need to know these people want a little bit of care and attention from well to do people. I hope we all can be nice when we see them out there and do our little part
Exactly!!!!
Most of us Nigerians or African see problem and ignore it. But, some like Tunde Onakoya see problem and look for a way to help in whatever way they can. It’s really refreshing to see what this young man is doing. He is changing lives because a lot of kids that could have turned to crime are getting engaged. And chess is not just any game. As Tunde said, it is a game of strategy. This means all these guys playing the chess can develop a lot of mental strength and intelligence that can help them to be useful and valuable in other areas of the society. They could even go on to represent Nigeria in international chess tournament.
As for you Tayo, it’s great that you came up with this unconventional content. You are a very creative and intelligent young man. Keep up the good work brother.
Ive already jumped on the gofundme link to donate. This is a good course that must be supported.
Thank you bro 🙏🏾
Impressive!! People think you have to have boatloads of cash or a big project to give back to the community.
You can see from some of the young men interviewed , Just merely 'seeing' them and treating them with dignity and respect goes a long way to getting the best out of them. Not the money you 'throw' at them. Weldone Tayo for this inspiring video👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Very true! 👍🏽
You are right
The change will come from the youth. All love from 🇸🇳
Thank you for gifting someone a camera am just encouraged to do more with these video 👌
Motivating
Real poverty alleviation scheme. Teaching him to fish 🎏

@@curvyuniverse3475 Exactly @TayoAina let the little boys do an Apprenticeship under you, teach him to be a pro like you.
Inspiring and motivating , this video and story would gradually change the narrative about Oshodi
Thanks so much for sharing this story. From Sierra Leone to Nigeria to Kenya, all over Africa there are these street children suffering. They need our help. God Bless them and you Tao for shining light on their story ❤️🙏🏿
This touched my heart so much and I had to show my grandchildren.
Honestly I miss home so much as I want to add value to life.
I spoke with loads of street ladies and setup for them what they want and I would love to help them too.
Thank you all so much.
I did visit Oshodi by the airport.🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
more skills like this need to be introduced to them especially those guys living under the bridge in oshodi, regardless of who people think they are... Thank You Mr. Tunde and Mr. Tayo for bringing this to us.
May God bless this man. He’s doing amazing!
Amazing and inspiring. We can all help... Let's not wait for government to fix things because clearly they don't care. We must do what we can to help our brothers and sisters on the streets. Let's build Africa one person at a time.
Let's start by supporting this initiative and donating generously.
This is great 👍👍 if Ghana has some thing like these🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
There would have been no better way to close up the year, this is one of the most wonderful things I have seen this year
This is really touching and transformational. Seeing opportunities given to these kids gladens my heart. This is what life is meant to be like, to help others. These kids are literally our future, let's do more to change the story they have come to know as Nigeria. We can all do better 🙏
This man inspires me. I love his vision. I resonate with it. He helps me feel like mine isn't so far-fetched. If you can change one life, you can change the world.
If you can change one life, you can change the world! 👏🏾
Oshodi is not that bad ,always seek to know despite information you hear before conclusion... People pass Oshodi everyday....Do you ask why Oshodi is having the Best Bus Terminals in the World that millions of people use?
God Bless Mr Tunde and Mr Tayo
Lol, "the best bus terminal in the world"
How do you manage to come to that conclusion?? There's no doubt that the bus terminal is nice but to say the best in the world, that's a little bit of exaggeration.
The high population of traffic through Oshodi everyday naturally makes it a urban milieu for hustling, opportunities and crimes as well. Many first time visitors from outside Lagos coming in on road will likely land in Oshodi. If you are not lucky and street wise someone might take advantage of you. Poor physical planning, traffic congestion with Molue yellow buses, poor waste disposal system, unfriendly police etc made that side of town a nightmare. But things have improved starting with Governor Ambode and continued. Great to see this human side of Oshodi. Let's hope the government can see this video and work with civil societies to make Oshodi a better environment.

Africa needs more people like him
I spent 5 weeks in Lagos this year, I am sooooo very proud of the people there. They are survivors!
May God continue to bless this young chess player Fawaz, what a wonderful young man he is. Thank-you Tunde for helping these kids, and Tayo for showing us their plight, so more people can find ways to help them. Getting these kids of the streets by having programs like basketball or soccer camps, music camps where they could learn to play an musical instrument, could all help as well, as can art camps where they could learn to paint and make art, skills which can help them to have a creative career, contribute to society, and help themselves
to be able to have a better life.
My gosh- this is extremely great to hear about; it’s showing the slow, yet burgeoning progress that Africa is going through. Africans’ around the diaspora are done sitting around doing nothing about their deplorable conditions anymore. Even though I’m from America, I still feel a burning pride in me witnessing progress amongst our people. GO NIGERIA!!! 🇺🇸 🤝 🇳🇬
Africans have never sat around "doing nothing about their deplorable conditions". They have alway fought to move forward and survive to fight another day. Through wars, famines, coups, mass genocides and rapes, they have done the work to move forward to get to where they are today. What a disrespectful statement
@@tvs9978 Okay.

Now chill with the title 😂😂😂... For someone who was born and raised in oshodi, i get confused when people talk about oshodi honestly... I understand the fear but i don't get it...if that makes sense sha 😂... This place is crazy TRUE but it's not a bad place honestly

Always finding such amazing stories! Here for it.
Been observing your works for a while Tayo Aina.
