Chess Master, Tunde Onakoya Gets Brand New SUV As He Bags Endorsement with Nord Notion

Tunde Onakoya, popular Nigerian chess expert, has become the latest worldwide ambassador for Nord Notion, a Made in Nigeria vehicle manufacturer.

Following his deal, the chess champion, who recently tried a Guinness World Record in the United Kingdom, received a brand new SUV from Nord Notion.

According to Tunde Onakoya, he was invited by the CEO, who jokingly promised him an SUV if he beat him in a chess match.

As predicted, he won the game, his preferred car, and a contract to serve as the automaker’s global ambassador.

Announcing on X, he wrote;

“Just before I traveled to America, I called my dad and gave him my only car. he had sold his taxi 13 years ago so I could pay for my WAEC and JAMB examination fees. The joy on his face brought tears- it was the least I could do for my parents who sacrificed everything so I could get an Education.

It wasn’t clear how I was going to get a new car without spending a fortune but i had faith.

“Yesterday, I got a call from @OluwatobiAjayiJ, the CEO of @nordmotion, inviting me to his office for a chat and a chess match. During our conversation, he proposed an outrageous deal: if I could beat him, I could choose any car in their showroom for free. Knowing he was a strong chess player from our previous game analyses(Although we had never played before), I accepted the challenge. After about an hour of intense play, I managed to win from a very complex position.

“This all still feels surreal, but I’m thrilled to announce that I am now a global brand ambassador for @nordmotion motors and the proud owner of a NORD A7 suv built and assembled in Nigeria.

“Life really isn’t scripted, and I’m super grateful to be able to use my gift to inspire the world and affect lives positively. This has inadvertently brought a lot of goodness my way too and this love is one I’ll never take for granted.”
