So proud of Aruna Quadri, He made history at the 2016 Rio Olympics by becoming the first African to reach the Quarter finals of the table tennis single event. . He is currently ranked number one in Africa and he will represent Africa at the ITTF World Cup in France


Yorubas are the Masters when it comes to table tennis in Nigeria and Africa at large... Only the Egyptians are competing with us... Many of our Athletes have represented Nigeria in the Olympic games and won many laurels for Nigeria both at the common wealth and the All African games.


From the legend Segun Toriola, bode abiodun, bose kaffo, our own
Monday Merotohun from Ogun state, Olufunke Oshonaike, Atanda Musa, kareem nasiru, Sule olaleye, Abiola odumosu and others.

I like the fact that we have young talents who will replace Aruna Quadri and funke Oshonaike.. The likes of Esther oribamise and Azeez Solanke are both tipped to do that.

Esther oribamise has qualified for next year's junior Olympics in Argentina, azeez lost in the semi final


Out of the ten players selected to represent Nigeria at the Africa junior table tennis championship in Tunisia, eight were yorubas

We have so many Table Tennis tournaments here in the West


We love Table Tennis in the West.

IPods will not like this. They will start peddling football now.

Without trying to downplay the emboldened, as far as i know, other parts of Nigeria are not really into table tennis, especially professionally. So, it's really not a competition as mostly Yorubas, who tend to be rounded in their knowledge of sports are really into playing tennis professionally. It's just like how you compare a Yoruba and Igbo party without realizing that it's not a contest as Yorubas are party people. The best tennis players i have encountered personally in Lagos are Yorubas.



You are correct to a large extent but I think other states can still compete... A secondary school here in the West has a standard table tennis board... other states need to train and groom these young players... And they also need to organize more table tennis tournaments.


Most of these guys playing table tennis for Nigeria Started playing when they were kids

It's good to see that we have good young players that can replace them. There was a time that I was afraid that we would lose our crown as the best table tennis playing country in Africa because I couldn't see enough young players coming through. I'm glad to see that I was wrong. I wrote this back then.

You must be a strong table tennis fan
