The 2024 Trendupp Awards witnessed a fiercely contested race in the “Force for Social Good” category, with Tunde Onakoya emerging as the winner.
Onakoya, a Guinness World Record holder for the longest chess marathon, triumphed over other prominent figures, including the vocal social critic VeryDarkMan, as well as Aproko Doctor, Adepeju Olukokun, Osita Popcorn, and Seyi Oluyole.
The Trendupp Awards honour outstanding influencers, content creators, and brands on social media across various fields.
While VeryDarkMan’s advocacy for social change and justice resonated with many, Onakoya’s significant achievements and philanthropic efforts earned him the award.
The outcome has sparked lively discussions on social media, with some praising Onakoya’s win and others believing VeryDarkMan was the more deserving nominee.
