A Nigerian Wins At The World English-Language Scrabble

Who says Nigerians are only known for bad things in UK, US and Europe? Think again, there are many Nigerians abroad doing great things to make our dear nation proud. I always get happy when Nigeria appears in the news for good stories other than Boko Haram killings.

We should be credited for inventing some words for the Oyinbo......lol. See why I think so as you read.

Nigerians have been celebrating 32-year-old Wellington Jighere victory in the world scrabble champion - the first African to win the title.

Mr Jighere beat Englishman Lewis MacKay with four straight wins in the best-of-seven final round at the World English-language Scrabble Players' Association championship in Perth, Australia, on Saturday.
Nigerian President Muhammadu Buahri phoned Mr Jighere to congratulate him, his office said.
"I called to rejoice with you over your performance. You have done the country proud, and we are very happy," it quoted Mr Buhari as telling the champion.
