Nigerian-born Congolese table tennis player, Idowu Saheed, has severely criticised “some table tennis federations” for nauseating favouritism.
In posts on his known Facebook page on Sunday and Monday alternating between English, Yoruba and pidgin, Saheed accused table tennis administrators in an unnamed country of plainly asking for sex from female athletes before drafting them in to represent their national team.
The 32-year-old stated that although he is ‘not fighting for anybody’, he has been keeping ‘receipts’ since 2003.
He said he is able to speak the truth because he has no godfather in the table tennis federation, lamenting the culture of frustrating talented and high-quality players.
“Some table tennis federation go collect wotowoto very soon ,u go leave better player and carry loser go competition thought no be today u just start something like that ,all of you ,your secret dey down as you dey nack players and collect half of allowance from them, your secret go reach headquarter soon,” Saheed lamented.
“You damaged many players future, the former one and present one ,you go hear gbam very soon, hotel wey you dey carry them go we know everything already, even the one wey don’t know anything about table tennis den go put them in position and misuse it,make you dey prepare for wotowoto from headquarter, your names na one by one,, iku mapayin ni ,,,I come in peace ,no violence.”
He added: “Why you people dey DM me, did I mention any names yet, if the thing touch as a players or coaches abi na president you be, make you comment here, the violence master dey read everything to comfirm if is true.
