Nsikak is good as well , I respect Chinedu ( the one they call sidespin ) and Pappy Doks ( Dokun Esan ) who have always wowed me with their mastery of strange but intriguing words. But the one person I would love to see come back is one time Nigerian best player and probably the best player out of Africa , who represented Nigeria in the early/mid 90's , I can't remember his name ( I think Dipo or something like that ) , he played OQUASSAS and even the Brits did a double take when he played the word.

Debo Ajose.
He did OQUASSAS.

He was a marvel of sheer wizardry .
We were contemporaries back in the day, including Dokun and Sidespin .

I left Scrabble to pursue the purse ��. But , I'm staging a gradual comeback

The team is very much in the mix. Definitely, we have a great chance of clinching this again.

Well done guys. Tomorrow is another day. Proud of you, we are.

Nigerian players are among the best in the world and the curent champon is Nigerian.

Statements have meanings in their normal syntactic form.

Top scrabble nation Nigeria is not.

I am sorry.

Scrabble just like any other game can provide money, fame and glory to any player. Moreover, it's a cerebral game. Good thing about it is that, it's easy to learn how to play unlike say Chess. Know the rules and play your game!


@Post, Kudos to our compatriots. Please where can someone get a Scrabble dictionary hardcopy?
