O boy! Look recession for the guy wey win first place body.

The guy need the cash no bi small.

linearity:


Is this for real? Why the prize disparity between a Nigerian and Non Nigerian constant? E.g. For first prize a Non Nigerian take home $50,000 is more than N25m and they are giving a Nigerian a merger 1m?

Also, why is the prize money in dollars? Why boy Naira?

It's an international competition.
If a Nigerian came first overall he would be given the 50k dollars
But to encourage Nigerian participants that's why there's a section for Nigerians only

Flyingngel:
Who yoke Nigerian with this cheetah of a person.

Yoke!??
Lol...

And Kenya won the World Cricket Bla bla ... Dude just let it rest already...

focus7:
The Lagos State government should stop the foreigners from participating henceforth, a clause that the tournament is strictly for the citizens should be placed, asap.

We can't have people here who are suffering and need government assistance by any means and some foreigners we now migrate here for the purpose of hijacking their opportunity every year because they have some super skill. He should take the $100,000 he has made and establish a business or return back to his country.

$100,000 in this economy is big relief someone.

the race is for everybody regardless of nationality... throughout my stay in Malaysia and Singapore it was always Kenyans winning the race...even the ones held in Hong Kong..most of em run marathons as a source of living...also it's a good thing as it brings foreign exchange and tourists into the country..okay,thanks,bye

Never surprised..... When only their natural resources is winning marathon races

It doesn't matter. He trained for it. Nigerians are also in other countries searching for greener pastures.

Hot Fuzz

Na dem... I knew it.

Nigeria need to learn from Kenya in term of Race. Who want to run my race?

Omagago:
Is he related to IG of Police?? The name though

komo

All these Kenyans wey dem dey use leg pursue guinea fowl for Bush...na dem u na wan compete? Be mumuing and be going o

So painful, Kenyans carry 1st to 4th, all the money going to Kenya. Let every other state in Nigeria emulate this, by the time we have nigerians running marathon like 7times a year, they will also compete effectively with the Kenyans.

My question is why they keep allowing kenyans or foreigners to participate. In other countries they would never allow foreigners to do things like this. Does he keep flying in for the competition? Or does he have a valid permit to live here? I sincerely doubt it.

The lagos marathon race (just like many IAAF label races) is an international competition with the aim of attracting the best marathon runners around the world..to encourage Nigerians participating, a different category of prizes were handed out to the best Nigerian finishers in d event..

How are we sure he is not on drugs?
Kenyans and Russian have been found to be on government sponsored high doping

The Russian case is without doubt beyond reasonable proof. Prove the Kenyan allegation. Else I call you a bitter bit*h.

ghettowriter:
And why do they allow Kenyans to participate huhn

.those guys are on difficult mode by default, while most people contending are just amateurs

Its to boost the commercial value of the marathon .. These same Kenyans dominate the Boston marathon , London marathon , Dublin marathon just name it they'll show up and win easy .

Like you said they are on difficult more by default

The reason they are winning is simple. Kenya lives on hill, high altitude, so they have little supply of oxygen. They are use to it.. .so when running they do not need too much of oxygen to breath like Nigerian in tropical region. If we want to win we need to go Jos to train. We need to adapt our body to people living around that region.

My neighbour's daughter bears Mummy, wen i want to call my neighbour, i dnt know whether to call her MUMMY'S MOM, MUMMY MUMMY, MUMMY'S MOTHER OR MAMA MUMMY

Half right is not full wrong And half wrong never made it to full right either. Nigerians, if you want to succeed in anything be it relationships, career, sports or religion, you have to train HAAAARDDDDD!!!! Sports is not for pussies!!
