I started playing table tennis on bricks, then I moved to anything that looked like tables. - Olufunke Oshonaike

Nobody can understand young female athletes more than female administrators and female coaches.

I won’t allow my kids to represent Nigeria of today. But if they want to, I won’t stop them.

For the women, l think there are lots of up and coming players but the only thing they are lacking is exposure. They are a bit inexperienced such that they are doing it their own way. They need coaches that will guide them because the way they are playing here is not the same way they are playing abroad. There’s scientific approach to the game. We equally need better facilities. The tables we are using here are a bit slow to the ones that are used in international competitions. Our girls are coming up but they still have more to learn. Government must equally support the game.
