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:

Kenyans took 1st, 2nd and 3rd place at the Marathon, what happened to all those people always jogging on the ikoyi bridge ?

If Nigerians are starting the marathon from Lagos, the participating Kenyans should be starting from Ibadan. Let the race be even

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