Certain elements of Achebe's depiction of Igbo life in Things Fall Apart match those in Olaudah Equiano 's autobiographical Narrative. Responding to charges that Equiano was not actually born in Africa, Achebe wrote in 1975: Equiano was an Igbo, I believe, from the village of Iseke in the Orlu division of Nigeria.ertain elements of Achebe's depiction of Igbo life in Things Fall Apart match those in Olaudah Equiano 's autobiographical Narrative.

Ping Pong is derived from the REAL sport of 'tennis,' and tennis DOES require you to move around on a huge court, dive for the ball, plus have hand-eye coordination! And even some tennis players don't wear sweatbands! Knowing that Ping Pong requires some skill does not make it a real sport.
As I said earlier, diving is in the Olympics, but it is more of a hobby (just like the game of Ping Pong) rather than an actual sport--in my opinion, diving isn't a sport OR a game. But that's a conversation for another time.
