Nigerian chess master Tunde Onakoya got people talking online after he said he still had two chess sets to give away. He asked his followers to suggest people who should get them.

He tweeted:
“I have two more chess sets left. Who should I give them to?🙂”

One fan came up with a surprising idea — they told him to give one set to singer Portable and another one to someone called Lande.

The fan wrote:
“Give Portable one and give Lande one too.”

Tunde Onakoya replied by asking a funny but honest question:
“Can Portable play chess?”

This comment brought a lot of reactions from people online.

A user, @Olamoju4, questioned whether knowing how to play chess really mattered. They asked:
“Does the president know how to play? 🤔 Just asking. Or is it only people who know how to play that get it?”

Another person, @DavymartinCE0, brought politics into it and said:
“Tinubu knows how to play chess, that’s why he checkmated you.”

Someone else, @enyola, jokingly said:
“Teach him or just give me the chess board already 😎.”

What started as a simple giveaway turned into a fun and viral chat, with people laughing, debating, and sharing their opinions.
