Nigerian Scrabble Team Finally Awarded Visas by ubjunior10(m): 12:44am On Aug 27, 2016
Earlier news reaching us concerning the refusal of visas to our scrabble team came as a shocker.This would have led to Nigeria not participating in this years MSI world scrabble championships.This even led to the reigning champion Wellington Jighere lamenting on social media.
But right now,things have taken a new turn.The World champion informed us social media that they would be awarded the visas on Monday ..He owed his gratitude to everybody involved in this triumph ..
His words below :
"This is to say a big Thankyou to everyone for
the solidarity shown for our plight. Earlier this
evening, we got word that the visas for the
entire team will be ready for collection by
Monday. We will hope to be able to make it to
Lille, France before the commencement of
games on Wednesday.
Once again, I, on behalf of the Scrabble family
in Nigeria say thank you everybody! If it weren't
for you guys, especially the journalists amongst
us, this great injustice would have gone
unchallenged."
