"When we left Bayelsa we did not come here for medals, we came to gauge where we are against the world, and we have done that as far as Mathew goes we have done that yesterday and it's a good start."

"We know were he is now and it's a good start and as you know we are about to open our hall and when the proper immense training starts we can come out and say okay we are coming for medals maybe from the next one but right here our mission is to come and gauge and know where we are against the world not even Africa."

The Chairman Bayelsa State Table Tennis Association was also impressed with John Mathew's performance despite a late call up to the team due to an operation on the team captain, Samuel Boboye, adding that John Mathew will definitely become a star in the future."

"Mathew was not prepared, we actually pulled him out from school so he had a very short time to prepare."

"With this start and compared to the performance he gave yesterday you would know that he's a very promising player and he's going to do well in the future".

Outside leading team Bayelsa to the Championship, Mr Ama-Ebi Ebikpolade who is the also Zonal Representative of South South in Nigeria Table Tennis Federation (NTTF) also led other table tennis players from the South South region to the tournament.

The People of Umuyota Autonomous Community in Umuawa-Alaocha, Ohuhu, Umuahia North LGA has reacted to a press release purportedly signed by one imposter named Chikamara Metuh. In a press release signed by Mr. Bright Udeh the Youth President of the Umuokarafor Community, the community where both Mr. Adimchinobi Abraham and High Chief Sonny Uwakwe Nlewedim hails from has advised  members of the public to disregard the so-called press release trying to present the emergence of Chief Sonny Nlewedim as the Eze-Elect of Umuyota Autonomous Community in dispute. According to Mr Udeh "I am the youth president of Umuokarafor, who was unanimously elected by the entire youths of Umuokarafor, Mr. Chikamara Metuh, is not a youth president, nor an executive in Umuokarafor or Umuyota".
