2019 All Africa games Table Tennis Gold medalist Olajide Omotayo has called on Nigerians to continue to support Team Nigeria’s table tennis contingent to the 2019 World team table tennis cup in Japan despite the team’s opening defeat against China 3-0 in the early hours of today.
Omotayo speaking in a chat with brila.net said the team is fully aware of the quality of opposition eight from when the draws were made but insist that Nigeria can still pull its weight and restore its qualification hopes back on track.
Nigeria will next face Chinese Tapei after her opening day defeat against China People’s republic.
“We will make Nigerians proud, we know we are going to be facing world number one, world number two and world number three but we won’t let that get to us, we will give our best. We believe we can do it, don’t forget we all need your support. Keep supporting us and keep rooting for us.”
