Meet Nigeria’s Scrabble King

In Nigeria, Scrabble is a sport, not a game. And Wellington Jighere is just about the best there is. The 2015 World Scrabble Champion is the first African to hold the title. Jighere is hoping to spread his love for the game and put Nigeria on the map for its Scrabble prowess. This is NOT your grandmother's Scrabble.

How on earth, will Scrabble be Excluded from National Sport Festival with all these notable achievement?

For those who don’t already know, Scrabble was excluded from the forthcoming National Sports Festival despite being the only sport wherein Nigeria is number one globally. We are embarking on a campaign to get the powers that be to reinstate it.
So, please, kindly, I beg (you get what I mean) follow me on Twitter @Wellyjighere and retweet the relevant tweets.
Many thanks and God Bless!
You can also generate your own tweets supporting the campaign not forgetting to add the hashtag #BringBackOurScrabble

I am afraid I avoid the online scrabble matches because for me, it's easy to cheat.
Unlike face to face contests where wit and experience comes into play.
All the best bro

Wos, Scrabble should just do its time in the shithole on its way to the Festival.

In that walk, I will stand for it, by it, with it. Join me please.


The punishment is over. Thank God.

Scrabble has been readmitted to the Sports festival.

Yippie!!!!
