French Embassy Grants Nigerian Scrabble Team Visas by dainformant(m): 6:44am On Aug 27, 2016 |
Seems the French embassy has decided to make a u-turn on granting visas to the Nigerian scrabble team ahead of the 2016 MSI World Championships in Lille, France. It was earlier reported by the World Scrabble champion, Wellington Jighere -that the number one Scrabble playing nation on earth was refused visas for the event in Lille, France... Wellington Jighere shared the good news on his page yesterday; This is to say a big Thank you 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. You never know how much you're loved until calamity strikes. Thanks all, for the love. Let me now attempt to get some rest. It's been a long long day. http://www.nationalhelm.net/2016/08/french-embassy-makes-u-turn-grants.html 5 Likes 1 Share

So it was the outcry from social media that made the French embassy do a turn around. Was there no intervention from the sports ministry, foreign affairs ministry or even internal affairs concerning this issue. Seems everyone in this country is on their own. I say this because the Wellington guy only thanked the outcry from social media and never mentioned any other govt body that should have taken this type of issue up. Naija is a wonderful country. 39 Likes 3 Shares |

Read the comments above me and shake your head for Nigerian youths, are these the set of people we want to untrust Nigeria with? Ba brain ba sense, Always talking trash on very sensitive issues. No positive contribution, always attacking the Messenger and not the message. Until the senseless Nigerian youths import sense into their thick skull...Nigeria will remain in a big mess. I am a youth but so ashamed of my fellow Nigerian youths. We are the main problem with Nigeria not the old fools. 6 Likes 1 Share |
