Nigerian chess expert Tunde Onakoya has announced his decision to leave 𝕏 (formerly Twitter) in a bid to safeguard his mental well-being. The founder of Chess in Slums Africa expressed his concerns about the overwhelming negativity on the platform, which he says has adversely affected his emotional state.
Onakoya shared his thoughts with followers on Thursday night, stating that the online environment has become too burdensome for him. He emphasized the importance of taking time away to focus on his mental and emotional health.
Despite his absence from 𝕏, Onakoya reassured fans that he remains accessible via email and plans to continue sharing updates on Instagram. He stated, “This place has grown too heavy for me. As an empath, I feel too much darkness in the world pressing in. I’ll be stepping away for a while as I must guard my heart.”
For those wishing to connect, he provided his email: tunde@chessinslumsafrica.com, and encouraged followers to stay tuned for his thoughts on Instagram.
