Na access bank marketing strategy to sell for Africa. Hmmmm why host what your people don’t stand a chance to win. Mean while if you are looking on promoting ads that work read and begin… You launch an ad campaign… �

_
It sends traffic to your WhatsApp, Messenger, or website homepage.

You want prospects to enquire about your offer, book a call with you, or send you a DM to order what you sell.

But no.

They choose to be awkward… even after you made your offer clear.

And instead, they spam the comment section of your ad with stuff like…

"Interested"

"Info"

"How does it work?"

"Price?"

"I'm in"

But guess what?

They never buy! �

And even worse is your inbox buzzing with DMs.

But no.

They're not payment details request either.

They're DMs from unserious bunch…

Endless hello's and hi's from your ad… that lead to no sale.

For some of these people, you tell them the price… and they 1 minute read remaining…… Read all: https://matrix.to/#/!doLldETRiLKLSmNdES%3Amatrix.org/%24wauYC0xvC1O9ppqIPyK6EMZL4dw-ZUTdNN3YA3MjDmk

It's high time we stop wasting all these dollars on foreigners and make this race strictly a Nigerian thing for some five to ten years...

This will allow us develop gradually and the confidence or our runners boosted.



Imagine the level poverty alleviation this would have been if Nigerians would be pocketing these monies every year.

Last year, a Kenyan took the grand price, now this Ethiopian.

You are sounding like a South African selfish who will always see foreigners as their problem, if every country should out of selfishness organize sport competition only for their own citizens then there should be no need for the Olympics

Typical of Africans to think and talk this way. But you want to go to London or USA and participate in their own activities.

This is an international marathon. Do you know the kind of publicity and even sponsorship it brings to Lagos state? Do you really think this money would be coming out of Lagos state government coffers?? Even if it is and so what? This money is chicken change to Lagos state and can you even compare it to what they have been stealing through corruption? At least this is a good and recreational thing. People travel from all over Africa to participate. It's good PR for Lagos and Nigeria as a whole[/quote]

How come you're mentioning only Lagos State as the financier?? Are you not aware that the primary sponsor is Access Bank??

I think this cash belongs to our economy n shouldn't be given to others all d time..
d organizers should improve the cash price for the best placed Nigerian n it will be more than the money given to the real winners even if its Kenyan or Ethiopian..
marathon race isnt our thing n i see no need for keep organizing wat ur people CNT win

Last time I checked US and other countries never win the marathons that they host,typical broke black man mentality

You want to introduce another quota system? We can't compete so we rig the system to favour us even when we aint good enough.

If we create best Nigeria award category and Fulani man starts winning it consistently,
we will start to clamour for Lagos indigene category.

Why do we celebrate mediocrity?

It's high time the organizers stop involving Ethiopians and Kenyans in anything Nigerian Races. It's already clear that we are not match with them when it comes to marathon race against this dude, what is the essence of the race if it will be won by this nonNigerians every year.

Let's find something else we are better off them to participate so that the weight can be at equilibrium. It's becoming boring jare. undecided undecided

I do not agree with you brother. Is access not in Ethiopia and Kenya? So why shouldn't they be allowed to participate?

In what basis should Nigeria be given a preferencial treatment I a fair competition?

We always claim that we are giant of Africa, no be only for mouth, it involves doings too _a platform to all Africans.
Congrats to the winner!

Nobody will give you any free food. If you want the biggest prize, then you have to be deserving of it. Lagos Marathon is a standard competition that will not condone any of those preferential treatments you all are crying for. It's either you win, and get the cash or you continue to be just participants.
