Now I see the reason why the Australians through their Embassy tried to frustrate our going to the Championship. Congratulations for teaching this white men a lesson in their own language and backyard to be the best in the world. In turn , you should volunteer to train more championship materials on your own. Best of luck in your other endeavours.

This is great news. The Australian embassy almost scuttled this guys chance when they failed to issue Team Nigeria visas on time. Glad to know they made it to the competition and a Nigerian won.

Nigel Richards.
The best player in the World.
Jighere whipped him silly.
You guys have no idea what feat that boy did.
I pursued this dream for years myself before taking to business.

Thanks bro.
My name is Shegetz.
I am building up Scrabble in my own little way. It is a collective effort though.
Nothing thrills me more than youth Scrabble.
Nigeria has a bulging number of talented young lads.
It is a process. We are working.
Nairaland is not receptive of Scrabble though.
