What was sowore doing there? To raise awareness?
Of/ for what?
This is utterly inane. Perhaps he just wanted to run a marathon for fun? Have you ever considered that some people actually enjoy such things? Spoken like a typical unhealthy Nigerian who considers a pot-belly a sign of "prosperity" and is likely to be dead of heart-disease or diabetes by age 60.

Then he is not a serious contender .
If u believe he went in for fun then u can believe anything. Ur telling me he doesn't do routine early morning exercises?

The man will soon tweet how he ran in the marathon and how obi, tinubu and Co did not show up; petty things he likes saying.

So it's the abuja International marathon that will save him frm heart disease.

Sowore has ran many running competitions specifically in the USA.We need people like him and other politicians/celebrities to begin taking part in such running competitions,so this can motivate others.Life expectancy in Nigeria is 55,so we need a change and awareness on fitness and wellness.Nigerians abroad are also another unfit and obese lots.Hardly will you find any in such competitions where they live.For example,only 24 Nigerians took part in the London Marathon 2023.London with all the Nigerian population

To have something to show for 2027 election that he is physically fit like we have seen Peter Obi playing football, jogging of which who Nigeria needs is someone who is actually mentally fit like Tinubu.

so you are acknowledging that Tinubu isnt physically fit and yet you feel that a man who isnt physically fit is the best person to rule nigeria. how did you now come to the conclusion that tinubu is more mentally fit than Sowore and Obi you mentioned after we all saw "a town hall different from balablu bulaba"?

Abuja no dey like before again!
Instead of progress, even if it is at a snail's speed would have been better. But they took is backward with the speed of light.

Ordinary street light no dey, all the drainages are blocked, manholes are all opened, okad driving one way. Infact everything bad is wrong with Abuja.

Nigeria needs visionary minds that will position it for greatest. Which takes mental capacity and not physical strength. Government is not where to go and show your muscles but your brain.

Tinubu's physical strength can't be compared to Obi or Sowore because the are younger. Tinubu's wisdom can't be compared to Obi and Sowore because he is older and very, very well experienced. And by the way don't confuse physical strength to health status.

if you say "don't confuse physical strength to health status", what is Tinubus health status?

Tinubu is a "master strategist" at what exactly?

how has he used this strategy to move nigeria forward?

if nigeria needs "visionary minds" where is it going to get it from?

how has Tinubu shown his brain in government?

what is tinubu well experienced at that you say makes him more experienced?

going by theory, is age a guarantee of experience needed in governance?

what exactly is Tinubus wisdom that cant be compared to obi and sowore?

if physical strength isn't important for the job of president, how then will a president withstand the rigours of the job?

All you've done here is reveal your utter ignorance of running. You think all it takes to run 42km without stopping is "routine early morning exercises"? You're just another armchair warrior quick to insult and "advise" those who are doing things you couldn't dream of if you tried.


The man will soon tweet how he ran in the marathon and how obi, tinubu and Co did not show up; petty things he likes saying.
You could actually wait for Sowore to do such a thing before bashing him. Right now all you're doing is projecting your own obsessions onto him.

So it's the abuja International marathon that will save him frm heart disease.

Dey dia dey fry beans.
More revelation of your physical indolence and total ignorance of what marathon running is all about. The point is that simply participating in a marathon takes far more fitness than most lazy, opinionated Nigerians like you can comprehend, months of intense training beyond your feeble imagination. Have you ever run even 1km in your life without stopping to catch your breath?

You're just another know-nothing sitting in your armchair delivering sermons to all and sundry on topics on which you have no clue, eager to share your ridiculous opinions on how LeBron should "properly" play basketball or how Anthony Joshua should handle his next fight, even as you sit idly drinking Stout straight out of the bottle while adding to your pot-belly by swallowing pounded-yam like it was going out of style.

Sadly, your words will fall on deaf ears as most Nigerians combine deep ignorance with extreme overconfidence which they top off with mule-like stubbornness. Just look at how they've managed to hijack a thread about a marathon competition into an opportunity to indulge the same old political nonsense about Sowore, as if they have to criticize any and every thing a public figure does if they disagree with the person's politics.

I will never take any of Sowore's opinions on politics seriously, but even so I applaud him for participating today, as at the very least his presence there helps spreads awareness that the event even exists, so little does the marathon on the average Nigerian's radar. Before today, how many people even knew there was an Abuja marathon? I certainly didn't - even the much bigger Lagos marathon hardly gets any coverage in the Nigerian media.
