OLYMPICS: Can Area Boys Do it ? by Akolawole(m): 3:55pm On Dec 27, 2005
That Nigeria had produced so many Short distance runners is an open secret. Chidi Imoh, Ezinwa brothers,Mary Onyali,Maria Osifo, Olapade Adenekan to mention a few.

I have been looking,searching and praying to know the secret of Kenyans and Ethopians in long distance races but up till now i got no answer.


I was at Idumota enroute Marina in Lagos about eight years ago when i experience something that is note-worthy.
As i was approaching Marina on my FOOTWAGEN, there was pandemonium all around, i saw Lagosians picking race, i have no option than to run as well DIRECTIONLESS.[/b]Everybody was going to different directions. Lagos Area boys in Slippers running helter-skelter. I thought it was a coup d'etat.

Here's the conversation between me and another man following me:

HIM : oH  boy, wetin happen now?

Yours Truly: I no no
( Before we knows it some Area boys was running after us, they were in bathroom Slippers, they breezed pass us as if na juju carry them pass.
[b]THE WAY THEY RUN , this guys can beat the so called American Sprinters easily   


I got to know later that two factions were claiming base authority.

seriously, they've got no chance at all as they cant pass any drug test.
the fact is that they wont even attempt it cos they are damned too lazy to work for anything.
