“Doko is the highest rated scrabble player in Africa and in Nigeria, so it is my pleasure to engage in those numbers of games we are going to play, but ahead of the game, I have not been doing anything differently than do revision, practice a lot of games and thankfully, there are some competitions in the USA. I am analyzing their moves and just learning from them,” he said.

“I and Timi, we had played at various events and the last one we played last was at the West African Games, it was like five games to go and he won and from there, he went on to win the tournament because that was like the deciding point for him and in Asaph Zadok, I met him and won and I went up to win the tournament,” he said.
