- "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."

Mercy Ojukwu was a Nigerian witch who played as a Beater for the 2014 Nigerian National Quidditch team.
Biography[]
Ojukwu 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 the second match of the 427th Quidditch World Cup, against Fiji, Ojukwu and her fellow Beater Aliko Okoye were more "ferocious" than the Fijian Beaters, Quintia Qarase and Narinder Singh. This resulted in the Bludgers doing much harm to the Fijian Chasers, which contributed to that team's bruising defeat.[2]
During the fourth quarter-final match, against Japan, Ojukwu, along with fellow Beater Okoye, put on a master class 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]
