It was February 2019, in the heart of the harmattan, the dusty northeasterly trade wind which blows from the Sahara over West Africa into the Gulf of Guinea, was at it's peak, and coincidentally, a cream of scrabble players were gathered in Golf View Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos for the maiden edition of MGI Scrabble Premier League. A number of male players, and a handful of females ones, all looking smartly dressed for the event, and warmly for the weather. Within the crowd, amidst the exchange of pleasantries, gigglings, and camaraderie, a damsel, with an imposing height for a lady, stood out.
Strikingly, the haziness of the weather could not conceal her glowing beauty, she exudes an air of confidence, speak with a tone befitting of a princess, and walks with the carriage/gait of a duchess. She was simply a sight to behold. Like a red ball in the midst of green ones, she stamped a sort of authority that says..."Stop! I am here to dominate". All the while, she was always by Capo Ojior, that at some point, curiosity took the better part of me, that I started asking questions, only to find out that she had been recruited and groomed by the Capo of all capos, to feature as the only female player in his team. And she did featured prominently
Akpos Malafakumo Best came into the scene like a prima donna will step on the stage for a musical rendition, with aplomb, living up to every expectation, justifying the confidence Capo and several others reposed in her. A testament of a fast rising star, that within a few years of her delving into tournament scrabble, she is already a gold medalist, and Governor Douye Diri's favourite athlete, the Pride of Bayelsa and a model to upcoming female players. Her performance in Airpop Falcons, was also sublime, conquering all conquerable. B.G. is humble, respectful, discipline, calm, organised, focused, and committed to good causes. A quality she has once again displayed by being the first to register for the ALL AMAZON SCRABBLE CHAMPIONSHIP, (AASC).
Malax as I am wont to call her, and popularly known as the Billionaire Girl within the scrabble family, is fully poised to add to her billions, as she said she has her eyes on the trophy/star prize, and also wear the crown. But whether the other tough contenders for the trophy will let her have a walk in the park, or give her a run for her billions, is just a couple of weeks away.
Watch out for this imposing and charming "warlady"!
