He did this in some gut wrenching manner .
Playing some terrific words along
BiLINGUAl was a beautiful find through double Ls.
Ayo had to wait for Nderitu Kitonga, Kenyan, to hand him the win.
He played a nonword GUTCHES which Ayo challenged off the board.
Nigerians on social media went berserk when the favour was done to us.
Memes and wisecracks followed the episode and a huge relieve to everyone .
TERAGLIN, x9, was the icing on a beautiful weekend of pure Scrabble genius.

Ayo came 3rd earlier in the month in Causeway Challenge in Malaysia. This is the toughest competition on earth.

Nigeria was the over best performing Nation in the same competition.
Stand up for SCRABBLE.

wow! I'M a fairly good scrabble player looking for serious competition. Are u game?

I am unarguably the best scrabbler in this forum. I had defeated Wellington the current world no. 1 way back during our amateur era. I have defeated many white guys online and sometimes some of them wonder if they are playing with a Robot or a computer

I've been on the group since. I actually play at UNILAG when it's in session. It's just because they are on break that's why I'm looking for a sparring partner...

isc.ro is the INTERNATIONAL SCRABBLE CLUB interface for online scrabble players. I don't think you can connect to it with a mobile device, you'd probably have to use a laptop because you'd have to download the interface. First log on to isc.ro with your laptop then register with them and download the interface. From there you can connect with players from around the world and play. You can even watch games too! It's free and has no 'premium' version. You can then search for friends and send them invites if you know their username. Believe me, when you see the standard of Scrabble played online, you will be humbled!

I know this guy will make Nigeria proud one day. I was with him in 2004 when we represented Ogun State in National sports Festival. I played in the open category and he played in the master category and teamOgun won bronze medal that year. His brother too(Tayo Saidu) is also a guru in the game. Ayo in case you are reading,this is Soggier (Femi). congrats.
