Nigeria: Crisis in Scrabble as Players Drag President to EFCC
ThisDayLive: Crisis in Scrabble as Players Drag President to EFCC
Players of the Nigeria Scrabble Federation (NSF) have launched a coup against the president of the body Engineer Toke Aka, who has been dragged before the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) for improper conduct.
The players accused Aka of fraud and wrote a petition against him for making illegal deduction from the prize money due to them over time without rendering proper account.
Likewise, they appealed to the National Sports Commission (NSC) and Presidency to look into their plight.
Five of the players, including the current African scrabble champion, Jigere Wellington, in a no holds barred press conference Monday, not only accused their president in the public, but said that the NSF acted in bad faith by leaving out their names from the Nigerian Rating on the federation’s website.
Other collaborators were Chinedum Okwelogu, Omosefe Prince Osahon, Saidu Ayorinde and Cyril Umebiye.
They claimed they have been suspended from playing representing Nigeria because they refused to comply with the policy of NSF to continue to deduct large part of their earnings in local and international competitions.
The petition against the boss of the federation was written in February and has been filed with the anti corruption watchdog.
The kernel of the petition against Aka is that he caused 30 per cent of the monetary gift given to the players by President Goodluck Jonathan for impressive outing at the African Championship in Ghana last year to be deducted.
Nigeria flourished by claiming all the top 10 positions at the tournament, which made an impressed Jonathan to host and fete the players.
Jigere got N1.5 million gift from the president, while the other players each got a share of N750, 000.
But the players disclosed that were made to part with 30 per cent of the presidential windfall by the federation, an act which they described as “untenable”.
Again they accused Aka of issuing dud cheques as well excluding six players from the N6 million handout given by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, for the feat by the team in winning a fifth African scrabble in 2004.
Jigere, who has been a playing for the federation since 2006, claimed that over N2 million has been illegally deducted from his earnings since 2006.
“We feel we should let the public know about the injustices in the scrabble family. We want the ministry and presidency to address the issues. The president of the federation has not been fair to us. There is extortion and illegal draining of the players they suppose to protect. Since 2008, players have been under duress to sign undertaken before they are taken overseas,” Jigere said.
Though NSF has a policy of deducting 10 per cent and 30 per cent as tournament prize money from local and foreign tournaments involving the players, the players alleged illegal deductions and other infractions against their federation, outside the agreed arrangement.
They claimed that 40 percent rather that 10 percent was taken from their earnings at the Akwa Ibom Classic in Uyo in 2009 as contribution to the NSF.
They also claimed that since 2008, the sum of N360, 000 each has been deducted systematically from their winnings in local and international tournaments.

MYSTERY WOMAN: Dawn Tripp's latest novel interwoven with local lore
The Herald News: MYSTERY WOMAN: Dawn Tripp's latest novel interwoven with local lore
By Linda Murphy
WESTPORT — The idea for author Dawn Tripp’s latest novel, “Game of Secrets” was almost as happenstance as a skull with a bullet hole rolling out of a pile of gravel. That skull, a real-life mystery that endures from the days when Route 88 was constructed in the agricultural town, sparked the author’s third book, a literary mystery in which secrets unfold over Scrabble games.
“I was sitting in Carl Lees' office, and he told me a story about when the state dug the fill for the new bridge. When they dumped it, there was a skull with a bullet hole in it,” she said, from a dock on the opposite side of the harbor as she pointed to the Route 88 bridge and referred to the well-known lawyer who has since passed away. “As soon as he said that I said, ‘Oh yeah.’ I didn’t set out to write a mystery, but you hear one little nugget, and everything falls together.”
In Tripp’s compelling novel, the skull with the bullet hole is thought to be the remains of Luce Weld, father of Jane Weld and the lover of Ada Varick, whose volatile ex-husband is the suspected killer.
The novel weaves back and forth over time as the two women, now seniors, play weekly Scrabble games at the Westport COA. The mystery surrounding the death of Luce Weld simmers beneath the chatty, purposeful games. “A lot of the way I work is like a game of Scrabble. I start with little scattered pieces that I build into a larger whole.
I thought about a few different games, but at the end of the day, it had to be a Scrabble game. In the book, how two women play Scrabble is a metaphor for how they live their lives,” said Tripp.
But there’s more at stake in the game than just the mystery of the death of Luce Weld in Tripp’s evocatively drawn character study of the two townie families. Jane’s daughter, Marne, is dating Varick’s son, Ray, despite her longstanding dislike of his older brother, Huck, an apparent lowlife.
Like most of the characters in the book, Huck is not a simple stereotype. Luce Weld, a despicable character in her last novel, “Season of Open Water,” is just as unlikeable this time around, but Tripp said she found a more complex side to the character by writing about him through the eyes of his daughter, who loved him. “Characters come to you from one side, and when you start to dig you find a darker place, but there’s nothing more gratifying than finding the other side of the character and rendering them in full,” she said.
“It’s like Huck. My first glimpse of Huck was of him as that boy in that car racing down the unfinished Route 88 thinking about a girl: I knew what he hid, what he was hiding from, what he feared, and what he loved,” she said of a scene inspired by locals’ stories of car racing on the highway that divided the town.
The image of that 14-year-old boy driving fast down Route 88 before it was finished was one of three images that Tripp said she started with four and half years ago at the inception of “Game of Secrets.” The others were the two women playing a game of Scrabble and the two lovers, Ada Varick and Luce Weld, meeting in an old cranberry barn down on the beach. “I didn’t know their names or the details of their lives, but I could tell it was going to be the last time they were together,” she said. “My stories start with a little tiny piece – it’s the little things that burn in me and make me want to know everything about that character.”
Tripp set the early years of the novel in the period of time when they started to build Route 88. “Every Westporter I’ve talked to said they felt that was the defining event that changed the town. It divided the town. I knew I wanted to set it in that time when they opened this span and they tore the old bridge down. I started to write out the characters' lives in connection to the construction of Route 88,” she said.
A graduate of Harvard University, Tripp spent summers in Westport, and she now lives in the town with her husband and two sons. Her first two novels, “Moon Tide,” and “The Season of Open Water,” winner of the Massachusetts Book Award for Fiction, were both set in Westport.
“I feel in love with Westport’s physical landscape," she said. But, like any other town, it has a whole other landscape and that’s the landscape of all" the stories and all the lives that have been played out in a town like this. Those stories aren’t the basis of my novels, but that said, the town described in the novel revolves around the stories that are told, and the stories that are not told."
The novel will hit bookstands on July 5. Tripp will is scheduled to make appearances at the following locations. July 7, 4 p.m., Partners Village Store, 856 Main Road, Westport; July 19, 7 p.m., Baker Books, 69 State Road, Westport; July 21, 7 p.m., Westport Public Library.

OttawaCitizen.com: Three-time Scrabble champ unfazed by defeat in finals
Perhaps it was Joel Wapnick the Montrealer's multiple seven-letter dumps in the first round of the 2011 Canadian National Scrabble Championship finals that sealed Ottawan Adam Logan's fate. Or perhaps it was the obscure word "feijoas," the plural form of the South American evergreen shrub, that Wapnick laid down on his first turn of the second round.
Whatever the case may be, after losing 0-3 in the best-offive final match in Toronto at the Bond Place Hotel on Monday, the 36-year-old Logan said he's nowhere near ready to give up playing Scrabble at the championship level -which he said he's been doing for the last 25 years.
Logan went into Monday's finals as Canada's defending champion, a title he had earned three times (in 1996, 2005 and 2008). But even with big-scoring plays such as "semioval" and "ruderals," Logan wasn't able to hang on to the honour. He made second place out of 52 competitors.
Speaking by phone early Wednesday, Logan said he's lost at the finals before, and he doesn't blame bad sets of tiles for the loss this time around.
"Luck is certainly involved, but skill makes a lot of difference, too," he said. "In the last game, if I would have thought of the right plays I would have won it, even though my letters weren't necessarily ideal."
Logan's Scrabble tournament scoring average is about 420 points per game, he said. And his favourite Scrabble tile? The blank, of course.
By day, Logan works as a mathematician on federal government contracts.
To keep in board game shape in the off-season, as it were, Logan plays Scrabble every Wednesday night at the Gloucester Public Library on Ogilvie Road with the Ottawa Scrabble Club, which was officially sanctioned by the National Scrabble Association -club No. 495 -in 1997.
Logan also studies the dictionary using a program that shows him the letters of a word in alphabetical order and then asks him to type the right word out.
He also just plays games, then looks back over the results with the help of a computer program that shows him the plays he missed. "And if I notice I'm missing the same sort of thing too often, I have some idea of what I can do to improve."
The national championships are held roughly every two years.
"As in a lot of things, the better you are at something, the more likely you are to be lucky. And Joel is very good at Scrabble," Logan said of Wapnick, a professor at McGill University. "If I'd been playing someone else, maybe that person wouldn't have thought of the words that Joel thought of."
Any hard feelings?
"No. He knows I would have done the same thing to him, and I know that, too."

2011 Canadian National Scrabble Championship Kicks Off June 10th, 2011
Digital Journal: 2011 Canadian National Scrabble Championship Kicks Off June 10th, 2011
- Test your word power with the pros! Canada's top Scrabble® enthusiasts from across the country meet in Toronto for the 2011 Canadian National Scrabble Championship (CNSC) to compete for over $12,000 in prizes and the title of Canadian Champion.

Philadelphia students take part in annual Scrabble event
Newsworks.com: Philadelphia students take part in annual Scrabble event
More than 150 kids will be at the Franklin Institute this afternoon, but the only sounds you're likely to hear are small tiles clicking into place and the occasional flip of a dictionary page. Philadelphia students will have their game faces on as they participate in the annual Spring into Scrabble event.
NewsWorks spoke with Emily Goss, program coordinator at After School Activities Partnerships, which runs the Philly Plays Scrabble program. Open to all students in Philadelphia, Philly Plays Scrabble is a partnership with the Free Library of Philadelphia that brings students and volunteers together to increase literary, reasoning, dictionary and vocabulary skills.
"We actually have a lot of school teachers," Goss says of the volunteer base. Most of those who offer their after-school availability to the program are teachers, college students and retired folks, she says. Elementary and middle school students will put that help to the test today.
ASAP organized more than 85 Scrabble clubs last year that drew 1,000 young weekly players. The Spring into Scrabble event at the Franklin Institute is the culmination of the season for the now 5-year-old program.

Rashid scripts his scrabble win
The Express Tribune: Rashid scripts his scrabble win
KARACHI: Rashid Khan won the 27th Pakistan Scrabble Championship for the fifth time after defeating Faheem Naqvi in the final of the Masters’ category.
Khan – who set a record of winning 17 out of 18 games in the two-day event – will now represent Pakistan along with Wasim Khatri in the Causeway Scrabble Challenge in Malaysia later this year.
Khan outplayed 19 other contestants to clinch the title.
Meanwhile, Rodney Judd secured second position after winning 12 games while Yasir Jamshed finished third as he won 11 out of 18 games.
“There’s a sense of achievement now that I have won this championship five times,” Khan told The Express Tribune. “I’m happy to represent Pakistan in the Causeway Challenge where I last participated in 2007. But besides that I’m proud because Pakistan have very talented players. Defeating people like Khatri and Naqvi is very difficult, but I guess I was very lucky this time.”
The second-leg of the championship will be held on June 12 when students from schools and

‘Scrabble is a game for the youth’
International Herald Tribune: ‘Scrabble is a game for the youth’
KARACHI: The 23rd Pakistan Scrabble Championship starts tomorrow with the officials hoping to unearth new talent that will represent the country in the World Scrabble Championship that takes place in October.
This year’s event will reach out to 250 schools across Pakistan with an expected turnout of over 600 people.
“Scrabble in Pakistan is more important than one may think,” said Director Youth Programme Tariq Pervez. “Scrabble is not only an educational sport but it would help promote a positive image to the international world.”
The first two days of the tournament will be on an invitation-only basis for players that are considered Masters at the game.
Following the Masters event, the next stage will comprise players aged 11 to 25. One player will be chosen from the event to represent Pakistan in the World Scrabble Championship that will be held in Warsaw. Waseem Khatri has already qualified for the tournament after his efforts in the last few years.
Meanwhile, Tariq rued the lack of financial support from the government but did hope for the sponsors to take note of the growing interest in the game and come forward to promote the sport within Pakistan.
He also remained hopeful of the country hosting the 2014 World Scrabble Championship, considered to be the most prestigious scrabble tournament, and dismissed that the law-and-order situation as a concern for them.
“We’ll be playing indoors so everyone will be safe. There’s less of a threat to us compared to playing outdoor sports so I’m very hopeful of hosting the event in 2014.”
