Truth is not hidden from rest of the world, including Kenyans.

Afonjas and Northern Nigeria of Islamic Sharia criminal laws are like bread and butter.

No matter how long the TAQQIYA goes on, truth must prevail at last: the 12 Sharia states that adopted Islamic Sharia criminal laws broke Nigeria into many countries. Crude oil and access to sea still hold the Sharia states to one Nigeria.

I want passengers for my taxi.

Nigeria should stop organizing marathon races to discourage capital flight through payment of prize money.

That is because the foreigners will always win.

It's good to be great at something. Since it's not fraud or corruption, Nigerians won't take first.

Congrats to the organizers of the event for pulling through despite the sabotage from the state govt. Its just sad that an IAAF rated event like this that could have put the city in good light was overlooked by the state for whatsoever reason it is

It doesn’t end with the race....

Onitsha City Marathon-ers experienced the unique ambience of the city of Onitsha and Anambra State.

The international athletes who participated in the history making 21km Marathon in Onitsha visited Ogbunike cave; which is one of Nigeria’s most impressive natural wonders hiding in Anambra State.

They were warmly received by the King Of Ogbunike kingdom, Igwe John Ositadimma Umenyiora.

Lol..

My guy before I go anywhere for Onitsha, I use google maps to check for possible traffic spots along the route and see if I can pass an alternative route. Once I cross into Asaba after 10 am, I'm not coming back that day until 6am the next day when the bridge is free.

Kenyans are actually adapted internally to the long distance races. Something about bigger kidney, liver or heart due to their high altitude country.
So you can't really train to beat them. You have to take medication/chemicals to do that.

These are some of the reasons why Kenyans perform well in long distance race;
1.Skinny legs
One key to Kenyans’ superior endurance is their skinny legs. Skinny legs that we all want, but don’t have On average, a Kenyan’s leg is 400g lighter than their competitors, which translates to an energy saving of 8% when running. Over long distances, this small genetic advantage can really give Kenyans a leg up.
2) Kenyans are accustomed to high altitude environments
Another reason that explains the stellar performance of Kenyans is the high altitude environment they live in. Located in Africa, Kenya is a mountainous country with The Great Rift Valley running through it from North to South. With plateaus reaching an average height of 1500m, Kenyans get to experience “high-altitude training” daily, and such an environment lends itself well to running
3) Their drive to succeed
Above all else comes a simple factor. Kenyans succeed in athletics because of their motivation and hard work. Every year, many Kenyans train to go professional because of poverty in their country, which pushes them to chase after every opportunity they can get.
