BBC News Africa | The Paralympic table tennis love story - BBC Africa @BBCAfrica | Uploaded August 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 day ago.
Christiana and Kayode Alabi are Africa’s top ranked table tennis players. The Nigerian couple's love story began during a national camp. Christiana moved to Lagos to be with Kayode. Both had polio as children which led them both to have disabilities. "It’s not easy to be physically-challenged in this country (Nigera)," says Kayode. But, as Christiana adds, "due to this sport I’m not always shy the way I was before. I can speak publicly".
