SpyLoaded News / Tunde Onakoya Sets 58-Hour New Chess Marathon Record, Pushes For 60-Hour« Last post by Miss Ifeoluwa on April 20, 2024, 09:45:04 AM »On Saturday, Tunde Onakoya, Nigerian chess master, set a new Guinness World Record for the longest marathon chess. The chestmaster confirmed this in a post on his official X account. He wrote, “We have done it. “We’re pushing to 60 hours guys. We’re not stopping yet. Let’s keep going. “We have a fundraising goal to meet for the education of African children around the world. This is our why – the reason we are doing this. “Let’s demonstrate to the world the incredible power of love. Together, we can make this happen. Onakoya broke the record of Norwegian players Hallvard Haug Flatebø and Sjur Ferkingstad, who played for 56-hour, 9-minute in 2018 and aimed at reaching 58 hours target. The challenge, which is underway at New York City’s iconic Times Square, has currently exceeded 56 hours and a few minutes and already set him adrift the previous record holders. The new record holder said his attempt was to raise funds and awareness for providing educational opportunities to underprivileged children across Africa. In a statement by his foundation, Chess in Slums Africa, Onakoya said he will be joined by his US counterpart, Shawn Martinez. It read in part, “This record attempt requires a team of two players. Tunde Onakoya (NG) will be facing off against Shawn Martinez (US) for the challenge. Both players hold the title of National Masters. “Shawn Martinez, a US National Master, renowned New York City chess legend, and chess coach, poses as a formidable adversary. Both Tunde Onakoya and Shawn Martinez will hold the record title.” “This record is for the longest time to continuously play chess. This record is to be mentioned in hours, minutes, and seconds. This record is to be attempted by a team of two players,” it added. After about 23 hours into the game, Martinez joined to make the new world record. Meanwhile, Nigerians, including President Bola Tinubu, Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Singer Davido, and Adekunle Gold, have all shown support for Onakoya to break the new record. 82

Movie Trailer And Series / Watch Kampon (2024) - Netflix Movie Review And Mp4 Trailer« Last post by Mr. Babatunde on April 19, 2024, 02:03:04 AM »![]() Kampion is a new Netflix horror movie addition. This one has a runtime of just 1 hour and 31 minutes and is from the Philippines. If you’ve watched anything Phillipine, you’ll know that their speaking language is chockful of English and Spanish words. For this horror movie, the plot unravels very slowly. And I do mean very slowly. Fortunately, we do get horror moments here and there from the beginning, but it also has a story that takes its sweet time getting there. As in many good horror movies, Kampon does open with a bang. A brutal scene where a woman dies and then appears to be resurrected. Well, sort of. She certainly isn’t what you would describe as dead any longer. Then there’s a jump to a completely different place and time, where we meet a childless couple named Clark and Eileen. One rainy night, after 8 years of marriage and struggling to become parents, a little girl comes knocking on their door. The little girl claims that she is Clark’s child and that her mother sent her to him. ![]() While this is a very unexpected situation, it’s also a strangely welcomed one for Clark’s wife. She accepts the child into their home and can finally be a mother. Even if it’s only as a temporary foster situation until a paternity test can reveal if Clark is actually her father,. Clark, on the other hand, is not crazy about the situation. To be fair, he does also tend to get more of the creepy child situations. And as cute and sweet as the little girl Jade is, she can also say the strangest things. And do quite a lot of weird things. Admittedly, I couldn’t help but giggle at the title of Kampon combined with how Eileen seems to accept strange events to continue being a mother. I found myself hearing the hit song “Come on, Eileen” and then it became “Kampon, Eileen”. The ending of Kampon on Netflix The Kampon ending isn’t a simple one. While Eileen’s relationship with the child, Jade, is odd and eerie, the ending is even more so. It will probably leave many viewers scratching their heads. As a hint for the ending of Kampon, I can say that you need to pay attention to the constant flashbacks Clark has from his time as a police officer. Before he retired, he had a very odd experience with a human that did not seem human at all. Not long thereafter, he met Jade’s mom and had a one-night stand. These two things are very much connected, and that’s all I’ll say to avoid any further Kampon spoilers. Watch Kampon on Netflix now! Kampon was directed by King Palisoc, who also wrote the screenplay with Dodo Dayao. I can’t help but feel this movie had the potential to be better, but it would’ve required both some rewriting and tighter editing. The good story is there, but it is not told in the best way. For me, anyway. I was not crazy about this horror movie, but I do enjoy the whole creepy child vibe. Also, there are some scary moments and a very eerie vibe throughout. It’s too slow for me, and there’s too much wasted time on things that aren’t important for the horror plot. Also, while the production is gorgeous, there are a few CGI moments that I could’ve done without. I will, however, say that the young Erin Espirity was as amazing as little Jade. Also, Derek Ramsey and Beauty Gonzalez were very believable as Clark and Eileen, respectively. Kampon is on Netflix starting April 18, 2024. 89
