One of The Biggest Open Debate and Public Speaking Tournaments in Nigeria held in The Emirate City; Word War VI.

Word War VII returns, to write, and shape, the next chapter in the Undeniable Legacy. Are you Ready?

The host for Word War, The University of Ilorin, is the biggest institution by landmass, in Nigeria. And one of the most successful institutions in the nation. It is also the birthplace of numerous great people — where Legacy begins, is established, or reformed.

At Word War, The University of Ilorin dares you to aspire, to dream, to fight, to Be a Part Of The Legacy, to be Better; by far.

You may find many things in Ilorin.

Adorned horses and magnificent attires in Ilorin Durban. The tallest flagpole in West Africa... Amala and gbegiri that can convert an unbeliever, and the home of three debating institutions.

We again invite you to the home of rich culture and history, to the seat of street culture and a thriving nightlife, to the abode of intellectuals — to the home of the Seme Border Cartel.

You may find many things at Word War VII.
