Kenyans and Ethiopians dominated at the Lagos City Marathon today. Abraham Kiptum of Kenya won the race today, as he did last year. This is the second time the Lagos state has held this event. And against Twitter Nigeria’s wise advice, the state government went ahead to invite the masters of long distance races in Africa. So as foretold by the gods, these foreigners picked up all the wins.
These are the reactions from Nigerians:

These Kenyans should have a different route. Like Lagos to Ibadan. Stadium to Ikoyi should be for Nigerians.
