- "In the early stages of the game Fijian Beaters Quintia Qarase and Narinder Singh lacked the ferocity of their Nigerian counterparts Aliko Okoye and Mercy Ojukwu."

Aliko Okoye was a Nigerian witch who played as a Beater for the Nigerian National Quidditch team.
Biography[]
Okoye was born sometime in Nigeria. She likely attended Uagadou in her youth. At some point she became a Beater for the Nigerian National Quidditch team for the 2014 Quidditch World Cup, during which her team competed, and won, against Fiji, but were ultimately defeated by Japan in the quarter-finals. During her team's first match, Okoye and her fellow Beater Mercy Ojukwu were more "ferocious" than the Fijian Beaters, Quintia Qarase and Narinder Singh. This resulted in the Bludgers doing much more harm to the Fijian Chasers, which contributed to that team's bruising defeat.[2]
During the fourth quarter-final match, Okoye, along with fellow Beater Ojukwu, put on a masterclass of Bludger work, as did rival Beaters Shingo and Hongo. It was for this reason that special Quidditch correspondent to the Daily Prophet Ginny Potter called the match the "Battle of the Beaters".[3]
