This is a very sad blow for the nation.
Nigerian team has been denied visa to
participate in the 2016 MSI World
Championships in Lille, France. World
Scrabble champion, Wellington Jighere who
shared the sad and embarrassing news -didn't
give any reason for the rejection. The
Mindsports World Youth Scrabble
Championship will run from August 27 - 29,
2016.
Wellington wrote on his page;
This is to wish everyone participating in this
year's MSI World Scrabble Championships the
best of luck since I and my Nigerian compatriots
were refused visas. Yes, you heard me right! The
number one Scrabble playing nation on earth was
refused visas to enable her contingent participate
at a Scrabble event. I guess some folk
somewhere need to be better at their job next
time.
May the best player win!
