Well said from Australia.This are part of the issue causing problems in Nigeria scrabble circuit,WESPA
should endeavour to set a guideline likewise mode of selection as people in affairs of scrabble in Nigeria
need to learn since they refuse to listen to majority.
  Set the mode of selection and no favourism likewise no changing of modalty for selection at the middle.Let
us all be transparent in whatever we are doing and know the kind of people you elect to WESPA board.
  Thanks.

Hello Scrabblers,

I'm going to be in Philadelphia (downtown) from the evening of 8th March to

Reaponse to Balogu Rasheed

I was enraged with anger reading these lines from a Scrabble player from
Nigeria:
"Well said from Australia.This are part of the issue causing problems in
Nigeria scrabble circuit,WESPA should endeavour to set a guideline likewise
mode of selection as people in affairs of scrabble in Nigeria need to learn
since they refuse to listen to majority.
Set the mode of selection and no favourism likewise no changing of modalty
for selection at the middle.Let us all be transparent in whatever we are
doing and know the kind of people you elect to WESPA board.
Thanks.
Balogun Rasheed
NIGERIA"

Dear Balogu Rasheed,

Actually your name sounds more like Rashit because of churlish and petulant
balderash you punted here. I don't know where to begin the deconstruction of
your hubris. Is it from your grammatical errors or your  idiocy?

I certainly do not expect a so called Scrabble player to make school boy's
errors except of course you can convince us that you do not cheat during
your games.

When you say "Well said from Australia" Are you confirming to us that you
are now a worshipper of the Whiteman? Why does it have to be Australia? It
is annoying that a Nigeria could descend so low by painting us black on an
Osha's forum!

Who is the majority you are talking about?  Balogu, Balogu and Balogu? You
are becoming paranoid. Do you even remember to take your medications daily?

Well, quite.

I have no idea who the author of this piece is but I will say that 
insult-laden rants like this have no place on this forum. Chuck in a few 
Bible quotes and racist undertones and you'll find you're well on the 
way to a ban.

It's Scrabble, not world politics, please try to view things in the 
perspective which they merit.

Re: Reaponse to Balogu Rasheed


Well said Stewart.  I wonder if Balogun felt the need to address our  forum 
because he wasn't getting anywhere addressing them in Nigeria?  In  any case, I 
wish our Nigerian friends harmony and continued success.
