We use to be the best in Africa but nope Egypt had caught up with us.
That said, how much investment has gone into Table Tennis in Nigeria. We want to reap where we did not sow.

Quadri Aruna of Nigeria is winning in the Table Tennis 3-2....He needs to win 1 more game to progress to Round 2
He started off losing the match actually...and the Spaniard was stubborn. Aruna couldn't break through several Game points.
But he is now ahead.

hmmm, table tennis facilities shouldn't have to cost much , in think that there is money to be made through private enterprise, setting up clubs and aiming it at middle class. But provide unique sports like shooting, archery, tennis.
