Watch: 2013 AFCON champion Onazi outperforms Khalidiya forward in another sport

The Nigerian international, whose footballing career became prominent when he played for My People FC, has 52 caps for Nigeria and has won the AFCON 2013.

Nigerian midfielder, Ogenyi Eddy Onazi, is skilled not only in football but also at table tennis.

The Nigerian forward was seen defeating Prince Aggreh, another Nigerian player, in an exhibition game of table tennis.

When they smashed the tennis bat in opposing directions, both players could be spotted enjoying the time away from the typical pitch settings.

In his post, Onazi claimed he was proving Aggreh wrong after the latter bragged about beating him before their table tennis match.

Check out the video here:

The 2013 AFCON champion confessed that he rules the table tennis game in a video shared on social media.

“All this people that will tell you I will finish you 🏓 .. 😂🤣🤣😂 just take a look 🤫🫣 but his my man master dribbler @gfprinceaggreh 😂 you need to watch my master and learn from @quadriaruna and we have our professional camera 🎥 man @okoye_40 Comentator no worry your oga collect am today lol… now I will wait for you match against @victorobinna_official I no dey una class when una train well make una call me 🤙 🙏🏿” On his Instagram page, he wrote.

Outside the video, Onazi, who just switched from Serie D team Casertana to East Riffa, has not been at the biggest scene where the Nigerians would cheer him.

He only made 11 appearances for the Caserta-based team before his departure. With his advanced age, it is hoped that he will be able to rejoin the Super Eagles squad and a better club in a higher league if he performs at his peak level once again.
