"Twitter Has Grown Too Heavy For Me" Tunde Onakoya, Says He Will Be Stepping Away For a While

By: Israel Adeleke

OPEN TELEVISION NAIJA (OTN) News reports that the Nigerian chess guru and founder of Chess in Slums Africa, Tunde Onakoya, has revealed that he is stepping away from X (Twitter) to protect his peace of mind.

OTN News further reports that Onakoya, who made this decision known through a post to his followers on Thursday night, explained that the platform has become too draining for him and that constant negativity online has taken a toll on his emotions.

He explained that the online space has become heavy and that he needs time away to focus on his mental and emotional health.

Although he will no longer be active on X for now, but, he assured that he can still be reached through email and that he intends to keep sharing updates on Instagram.

“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.

“If it’s important, shoot me an email: tunde@chessinslumsafrica.com. I’ll continue to share my thoughts on Instagram," he said.
