The Eagle confessed to Karma’s kept promises

Akpabio...The Karma and promise keeper

His name is Phillip Edwin-Mugisha but is better known in the world of Scrabble as “The Phenomenon”. Just like our own version of The Nemesis, read what positive values his impression is about our dear Nigeria all courtesy of “The Karma of development” whose people call the “The Promise Keeper”
“The epochal moment in the History of the game has arrived. The Eagle flew in and was treated like a King. Incredible hospitality displayed by the Nigerians and I have to single out Charles Osadolor, his cute little 'uns Doreen and Daniel and his better-half, appropriately named SUCCESS.
Nigeria by the numbers is an astonishing tale. Lagos is a mega-city of 16 million. That's half the population of Uganda. There are 100 000 students at Lagos University. Kenyan Nic Mbugua was saying that's the entire University population of Kenya.
Nigeria, Nigeria! With its forests of swaying palm trees, its magical winding rivers seen from the air, its infrastructure, its energetic positive vibe, its exotic cuisine and over-achieving people, I have fallen in love with you! Nigeria, Nigeria.
The opulence of the venue organized by Chief Toke Aka at the Le Meridien Hotel and Golf Resort, left the face of the game stunned. The British wonder-kinder Austin Shin is here. I ran into Sulaiman Gora, the Number One Fan, not to be confused with Julian McKail, the Die Hard 1.
Pakorn was stalking the halls in a good mood. The Thai Architect turned Zoologist has been staring fascinated at the geckos climbing the walls of his room.I bumped into the jovial Anthony Ikolo. Sam Kantimathi told me to my face that he is "light years ahead of me." I humbly suggest Las Vegas contains not just gambling fever, but another kind of fever as well, a fever of delusion and chronic self-hypnosis.
Let's hope Sam doesn't infect us all!
A frown here for you my fellow cultured player. While its true that the 5-star Le Meridien had a gaggle of Scrabblers playing at the reception I also couldn't help noticing some shabby-looking members of Australopithecus Afarensis. The chess and drafts players are also in town!
