I don’t normally do personal tweets, but today is an exception! It has been one of the happiest days of my life - my 70th birthday! So much outpouring of love from everywhere!! I want to thank all WTO Ambassadors, WTO staff, friends and family! I’ve never received so many bouquets of flowers from all over the world, as I have today! Along with good wishes and prayers. I consider myself blessed to have a loving husband, family, friends and well wishers! All Glory and Thanks to God!
Go Deborah!
A few things to know about the chess prodigy Deborah Quickpen:
1. Coming from a humble background in Bayelsa, her parents struggled to pay her school tuition, and she almost dropped out due to financial difficulties.
2. She started playing chess at the age of 3 after being discovered by my good friend and Nigeria’s current national champion, @BKigigha, who has coached her ever since.
3. In 2018, she represented Bayelsa state at the National Sports Festival, becoming the youngest athlete to ever participate in the festival's history.
4. She won three gold medals at the National Youth Games, making history as the youngest person to win 18 out of 18 games.
5. Deborah won the Under-10 African Youth Chess Championship in Accra, Ghana, becoming the youngest Nigerian female player to be conferred the Woman Candidate Master title.
6. At the age of 10, she was appointed Youth Ambassador for Sports by Bayelsa State Governor Sen Douye Didi.
7. In 2023, at the age of 11, she became Nigeria’s female national champion, a record that might take decades to break.
8. She is the highest-ranked under-12 female chess player in Africa and the third in the world.
9. Currently in JSS3, she maintains a stellar academic performance, earning double promotions in primary school.
10. Next month, she will represent Nigeria at the FIDE World Cup in Georgia.
With the right financial support and visibility, Deborah could very well become West Africa’s first chess grandmaster. She’s young,driven and hardworking.
I’m immensely proud of Deborah and honored to play her in a match on June 11th in preparation for her first World Cup appearance in Georgia.
Let’s support our very own Queen’s Gambit!

On June 11, 2024, I will be playing a three-hour Chess match against Nigeria’s number one chess prodigy-12 year old Women’s candidate master Deborah Quickpen. She will be representing Nigeria at the FIDE chess World Cup in Georgia next month.
I have faced many tough opponents but this will undoubtedly be my hardest match yet. I can categorically say that she is the future of chess in Nigeria!

Your relationship with God gives you access to wisdom and favour. Wisdom and favour give you access to men (relationships) and systems. Through men, you gain access to resources and influence. Then, the resources and influence give you access to serve God or the purposes of His kingdom and to be a blessing to men (people).
When you carry wisdom and favour, you will become a living magnet that attracts men (people). You will never lack resources when men are with you, but it starts with God first.
