BRIEF HISTORY OF THE NIGERIA TABLE TENNIS FEDERATION

VISION:

TO establish and efficient Federation that is well equipped with professional coaches and administrators, equipment, good facilities for the development of Sport of Table Tennis

MISSION:

To develop and provide high quality coaching, technical assistance through modern educational methods for improvement of our players.

Table Tennis was introduced in Nigeria in the early Thirties by some British seamen who berthed their ships in the Lagos lagoon, which is in the South West of Nigeria.

Unconfirmed reports had it that the game had its origin in the kitchen, played between Mum and Dad with potatoes used as balls and frying pans used as bats and played across the table.

The game gained its popularity among Lagos youths who were then members of various Boys and Girls Clubs in the City. It soon spread to neighbouring Cities in the South, which are Enugu and Calabar classified under the South East and South South region of Nigeria.

There were no set rules and equipment for the game at that time. Any wooden material of whatever size passed as a table and a piece of string was pulled across the table to divide it into two equal sides.

There was nothing like faulty service, you did not need to place the ball on your palm and project it upward b before the bat contact. That was over stretching oneself. Nobody stopped you from hiding the ball under the table. Even if you had both the bat and ball behind your body, you were still making a legitimate service. Winning a point was depended on how much you can spin the ball during the service. There was nothing like a standard BAT, as anything flat with or without a handle will pass for a BAT.

A game was won if you were able to pile up ten points without conceding any point. At the scores of eleven – one, it was ‘ A CANTAB first DEGREE’ twelve points two; another ‘CANTAB second DEGREE’ thirteen – three was yet another ‘CANTAB third DEGREE’ and so on.

The adage ‘ATTACK’ is the best form of defence was consider vague. A good defensive player was the darling of the spectators and his returns were divine intervention played some part of the ball.

But as the years passed by, players learnt the rudiments of the game through some expatriates who came to Nigeria from different parts of the World. One such expatriate was a gentleman called Jack Williams Farnsworth.

Jack Williams Farnsworth is from Drifield Yorkshire, North England. He was an Insurance man by profession; he was posted to Nigeria as the Chairman of Guinea Insurance Company, an affiliated of BWAC [British West Africa Company].

Jack W. Farnsworth will be remembered for his memorable contributions to Sports in general and Table Tennis in particular in Nigeria. He was the leader of the Nigerian contingent to the Commonwealth Games in Vancouver in 1954 where Nigeria won a silver medal in Athletics and bronze in Boxing.

On the twenty-first of November 1949, Jack Farnsworth gathered a few friends both Nigerians and British, after some useful discussions, formed what was known as the Lagos and District Table Tennis Association. The venue of the meeting was BWAC Nigeria Limited at Marina, Lagos. Nigeria and about thirty delegates from twenty clubs attended the inauguration ceremony. Mr Fransworth was unopposed as Chairman, Mr Ganiyu Finnih a Nigerian, popularly known as Ta Popular was elected the first Honorary Secretary.

In the same year, the association was formed; Lagos and environs were divided into four zones for its very first league competition. The club were Atomic club from Mainland, Meredith club from Island, Police and Fire Brigade club and Tinubu club. In 1950, it organized Lagos championships for male players to determine who the best was. AOvbiagele defeated H. Drake, an expatriate from Coasters to become the very first Lagos Men’s singles champion.

In 1950 and 1951 seasons, the zoning system gave way for divisions. We had divisions 1, 2 and certain rules were introduced. For a Team to be division 1, it must have an indoor hall.

In January 19, 1951, the same people met to form the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation with Chief Jack Farnsworth elected as the first Chairman.

The formation of NTTA gave to numerous activities/events such as the first International Table Tennis competition between a club from Gold Coast and a club from Lagos. The competition was tagged the first Lagos – Accra competition. The Gold Coast Team ran away victorious against the Nigeria counterpart by 24 games to 12. The return leg in 1952 in Accra saw a better prepared Nigeria Team captained by Chinwuba, a police officer running away victorious with 6 games to 3.

The scope of the sport was expanded beyond Lagos and its surroundings. Players from Ibadan, Abeokuta were invited to participate in a National competition.

In 1953, Mr Jack Fransworth donated a trophy for Inter – School competition for Schools in the Federation. The competition was played on Knock out basis and Eko Boys High School was the first winner of the cup. The game of Table Tennis spread like ‘wide fire’ to all nooks and crannies of Nigeria.

In appreciation of his contribution for the development of Sports in Nigeria. Mr Jack Fransworth was conferred with the chieftaincy of ‘BABA EWE’ [Father of Youths] by the tradition ruler of Lagos at his palace. Henceforth, Mr Fransworth was introduced and known as Chief Jack Williams Fransworth. Another name that readily comes to mind when you talk of Table Tennis development in Nigeria is Dr.Adegboyega Efunkoya.

DR. A. EFUNKOYA’S ERA

The coming of Adegboyega Efunkoya on the board of Nigeria Table Tennis Association brought in another momentum to Table Tennis in Nigeria in 1962; he became a member of the board of Nigeria Table Tennis Association [NTTA] by co-option. By 1963, he was called to duty to be the chairman of NTTA, from then onward; Nigeria Table Tennis as never looked back on its quest to be a force to reckon with in the game of Table Tennis in the World. It is in the regime of this respectable surgeon that Table Tennis in Nigeria started to witness a phenomenal rise and successes it is enjoying up till today. Doctor as he was called by his admirers is the longest serving Chairman of Nigeria Table Tennis Association. His love and unquenchable interest for the growth of Table Tennis cannot be under estimated. Until his death, he was a devoted Table Tennis crusader.

A medical doctor of repute, Dr Adegboyega Efunkoya was the Chairman of NTTA from 1963 – 1981 contributing significantly to the development of the sports in Nigeria. It was during his tenure as Chairman that investment in Table Tennis as a sport was overwhelming, thus leading to the emergence of stars like Solomon Bamigbade, Lassey Wilson, Waheed Dawodu, Philip Santos, Babatunde Obisanya, Lekan Fanuyi, Lateef Sunmola, Atanda Musa etc.

Mable Imokhuede [late Mrs.Segun George] was the first female of note to emerge in the Nation. Her first major exposure to the limelight was in 1954 when she played Mrs. Hunt, a very skilful player at the final of the maiden edition of the Female Singles Competition in Lagos. Mabel lost the match but went into the records as the first Nigerian Woman to attain that height.

Wahid Enitan Oshodi’s Midas Touch

From administering table tennis in Lagos State, Wahid Oshodi was elected the President of the Nigeria Table Tennis Federation (NTTF) and his emergence brought vibrancy to the sport.

His ingenuity coupled with his leadership acumen were instrumental to the discovery of new players including the current African champion, Quadri Aruna.

It was during his tenure that Nigeria returned to the global map of table tennis with the hosting of the Lagos Table Tennis Classics which later metamorphosed to the now rested ITTF Challenge Nigeria Open. This tournament became a rallying point for players across the world and Nigeria was christened the hub of table tennis in Africa.

Apart from the involvement of foreign players, local players gained from competing in the competition with some of them signing lucrative professional contract in Europe.

Oshodi’s Midas Touch earned him an appointment with the International Table Tennis Federation (ITTF) as he became the chairman of the Nomination Committee of the world body.

Several tournaments were organised while table tennis gained its prominence among Nigerians while Nigeria became a Mecca of table tennis in Africa.

BRIEF HISTORY OF PARA TABLE TENNIS IN NIGERIA

The coming of Para-Table Tennis in Nigeria

In 1987, Para table tennis started in the SCIAN CENTRE, the rehabilitation centre for the disabled at Ikeja-Lagos, where most of the disabled people who reside at the centre use it as a recreation game, just to while away their time instead of just sitting down in the centre without doing anything, and its really help the disable people as at then.

The centre is controlled by the government then. A table tennis board was bought by the centre and they have sports officer in the centre then, Chief Yemi Bambgose is the major man that knows how to play then, and Coach Bello Nosiru was employed then by the centre to train those who has interest in the sports,
