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.
Before Table Tennis.. When the game first started it was called by a number of different names. Whif whaf, gossamer, and flim flam were commonly used to describe it. The words, as can be assumed, were derived from the sound that the ball made when hit back and forth on the table. In 1901 though, English manufacturer J. Jaques & Son Ltd registered one of the more popular names, Ping-Pong, as a copyright. He later sold the trademark to the Parker Brothers in the United States.
