Certain 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.
And as the popularity of the game spread in Europe, two rival organisations were set up in England with the Table Tennis Association and the Ping Pong Association formed within days of each other in 1901. But soon after this time in the history of table tennis it's thought that the game fell out of favour.
