I think the right people are not running this race. Because of the expensive ticket. The ticket is 150k.

If they reduced the money by next year, one of those ebonyi state boys that sells gala for holdup would win this thing.

People with talent are not part of this race because of financial constraints. Instead of those Belle men to sponsor one of our boys and he would surely bring the award money.

Invest in our boys to run if you cannot run, they would gladly share the money with you

Dem no suppose dey allow them come run race for Lagos...
30k dolls suppose dey go Nigerian pocket..
Shit

tax the hell out of that money by 65% because that money is going to ethiopia not nigeria

why should any nigerian compete with a kenyan or ethiopian on marathon ? it is like playing messi, neymar, mbappe and ronaldo in one team against remo stars and expecting remo stars to win - Imporrrrrrr impossible - reason is because their country’s location is on high altitude so naturally they breed long distance runners due to environmental factors…. that’s unfair to Nigerians

if they want to have this race again, the. organizers should take it to kenya or ethiopia and save nigerians the agony of seeing foreigners come and collect the star prize when hunger dey bite kontri men

useless and misplaced priorities


why can’t the organizers give prizes for the funniest comedy skits in africa - nicest home video actor / actress or musician so our people can stand a chance of winning it ? after all those activities make more people happy in distress times than one useless marathon that benefits only the participants or rather winner - health wise and financially -

My question is - will Kenyan or Ethiopian companies do any competition about best African films or music knowing their host countries won’t stand a chance against Nigeria ? Naaaaaahhhhh- Awa mumu never do?

With the heavy food we eat ; cheesy, chicken, turkey, and meat. Those kenya guys don't eat meat much. That is why they are skinny.

Some people saying this Marathon should be discontinued because it is always won by a Kenyan or Ethiopian. Events like this are not only for sporting activities, it also helps to bring about social integration in the Africa subcontinent.

I know access bank will list this among their CSR, but walahi I no understand Dix thing. Does this bring any form of revenue to LASG? Because I don't buy the idea of dashing these Kenyans and Ethiopians 30grand every year. Race wey we naija no fit ever win. angry

YellowMayor:




But honestly, why using US Dollars

We're Nigerians. The rewards should be in Nigerian naira if they want to help us as a nation

It is an international event and the winner ought to be paid in a more stable, international currency which is the dollar. Paying a Kenyan or Ethiopian in Naira makes no sense.

Sometimes you run a marathon for the fun of it or self gratification or even to push the limits of your body, not always money

Just realized you are kinda cautious of what you say.
You know if you mistakenly mention year you had d marathon, you could be fish out and arrested?
You mentioned the year, they get the info of all participants and narrow it down to computer science students among the participants.
Boom!!! You get exposed.
Be cautious bro. Many are here.

I've ran a marathon before. It's one of the most difficult things you subject your body to. Imagine running from Oshodi to Lekki, a distance of about 42km on foot. If you can accomplish it, you're a strong person.

Are these Kenyans and ethiopians from another world
The rift Valley conditions made their lungs and heart evolve more than yours to cope with the scarcity of oxygen.. Hence they breath in less oxygen whilst deoxygenating their blood flow at a rate yours can only dream of. The Andean tribes Quechua and Aymara also have similar altitude evolutions but it's cardiovascular endurance.
