Tunde Onakoya Offers Multimillion-Naira Scholarship to Girl Seen Helping Mother at 4 AM in Ikoyi
Renowned media personality and chess champion Tunde Onakoya has pledged a multimillion-naira scholarship to the daughter of a woman who was recently seen in a viral video taking her child to work at 4:00 AM in Ikoyi.
Onakoya expressed his sadness over the incident, in which the mother was publicly embarrassed while her daughter assisted her in sweeping. Moved by the situation, he announced his decision to sponsor the girl’s education up to university level.
“My mother used to sweep people’s houses and gutters in 2016. I often insisted on going with her just to help fetch the water she needed so we could finish quicker and get back home before daylight,” Onakoya shared, reflecting on his own experiences.
His generous act has been widely praised, with many commending his commitment to education and empowerment.
