Tunde Onakoya, a renowned Nigeria chess master and founder of Chess in Slums Africa, has been gifted a brand new Nord A9 SUV by Nord Motors.

The gift came after a friendly match with the company’s CEO, Oluwatobi Ajayi.

“Just got home to the most heartwarming surprise from my #nordmotion family—the stunning new Nord A9 SUV. Hands down the most beautiful car I’ve ever owned, but even more beautiful is the love behind this incredible gift.

“Grateful beyond words. Of course the only way to get the new car was by not losing this match.”

Onakoya expressed his gratitude to Nord Motors for the gift and the extension of his ambassadorial role.
