The online newspaper published a report regarding how Tunde played chess for 60 hours to break the Guinness World Record and how he learned the game of chess.

While gathering their report they only mentioned that he was Nigerian and failed to mention his name.

Their actions annoyed several Nigerians including Tunde, which caused them to storm their page and express their outrage.

Their tweet contained;

“Nigerian man who played chess for 60 hours in Times Square overcame ‘debilitating’ illness from a botched vaccination to smash the world record – and learned the strategy game at a barbershop”

While Tunde responded with; “His name is Tunde Onakoya” with a Nigerian flag emoji.

Below are some of the reactions,

@SHEGGs_YBNL:  it’s really unfortunate and a big shame that you didn’t mention his name and instead associated his country with him just because he’s an African man and also black. That’s not cool at all, I’m highly disappointed in you all
