Chess master Tunde Onakoya has expressed admiration for actress Genevieve Nnaji after she shared a photo from Rita Dominic’s 50th birthday celebration.

Onakoya commented on Nnaji’s post with a simple “Hi,” which sparked a wave of reactions on social media.

He humorously challenged potential suitors to a chess match, saying he’d only concede if someone could beat him.

“Hmmm. I see that the competition is quite tough. I’ll only concede if any other suitor can beat me in a chess match”, he wrote.

Onakoya later attempted to downplay his statement, joking that he was interested in selling his chessboard to Nnaji.

“Let’s calm down, guys. I was only wondering if she wanted to buy my chessboard”, he added.

However, netizens continued to weigh in, with some applauding his confidence and others playfully teasing him for “shooting his shot” with a Nollywood legend.
