FOCUSING ON ABULA BATS 

1. Plastic Bat first used to play Abula game. That plastic broke and could not work without plank on it 

2. Plastic with plank laced on it worked in playing the game at Idi-Araba High School, Mushin, Lagos State. Abula Game was successfully played for the first time in history on 08/02/1984

3. Several players used this plastic with plank bats for five years (1984 – 1989)

4. The real ABULA BAT designed by Mallam Elias Yusuf came to be successfully used on 10-10-1989 at Ajumoni Secondary School, Iyana-Isolo, Mushin, Lagos State, Nigeria where Mallam Yusuf was the Ag. Vice Principal of the school then. 

This abula bat looks very simple, yet it is very sophisticated and excellently suitable for playing the Abula Game. It is beautiful and very unique. It is very safe in playing the game. It has moved the game forward and across boarders.

11. Middle handle: scarcely used but strengthen the bat’s structure. 

12. As a result of this standard Abula bat the height of the net for both Primary and Junior Secondary has to be raised from 2.20m to 2.24m because of the longer reach of the (new) standard Abula bat.

ABULA GAME [08/02/2023]

N.B: Abula Game as an arrowhead in the popularization of African Indigenous Sports needs to be fortified in the giving of information that will make people to understand it faster and better and thus should be sustainable. The six foremost Traditional Sports in Nigeria that have been receiving some relevant attentions in recent years in Nigeria, are ABULA, AYO, DAMBE, KOKAWA, LANGA and ARIN-AKWE (African Billiards). Some other ones are Abili, Bojubju, Gbadigbadi, Mudesi, Ege etc. sharing pertinent and relevant information are very key to progress. Thank you
