Anuoluwapo Opeyori is currently training with Team Nigeria contingents in Germany as they round up their foreign tour which is the final phase.

“I am dedicated to playing badminton because hard work begath results as well as success; if you work hard opportunities will present themselves. I believe in myself and keep on working despite the hindrances and lack of motivation. I believe in my dream that I am going to grow and make it to the top,” Opeyori said.
