Wait a second..... Is this the same Nigerian who called me yesterday asking for a few bucks to be wired his way and in return I will get a few million?

If you think this is bad, you should see how Nigerians and Kenyans talk smack about each other on social media. Seriously - it's a bloodsport and kind of awesome.

-- Kenyan runner.
Japan only cares about ekiden races, and nothing else, so runners run hard EVERYDAY. During the 60s and 70s, 15 of the top 17 marathoners in the world were japanese.
Japan has a bigger runner culture than ethiopia and kenyan combined, and they treat their runners like royalty. Pro runners don't have to worry about food, money, shelter, clothes, etc. All of that stuff is taken care of and then some.

Some of the tweets between the two are mean.

LOL. I enjoyed reading that because the complaints are so typically African. Wouldn't be complete without the witchcraft.
The Nigerians will never become good marathon runners.
The first time I visited a West African country, the first impression was the muscularity of the male population. The natives paddling the huge cargo barges out to us anchored in the bay, had biceps Schwarzenengger would have envied.
That’s why African/Americans excel in sprinting, football, basketball and the likes rather than long distance running - the slaves all came from West African countries.
Whereas East Africans in contrast have all mainly slim, light weight, skinny peoples - ideal physiques for distance running.
I notice this Sharabutu chap runs 2.37 for the marathon, a time that wouldn’t get him in the first 17 on the all-time list in the club I run for.

He has a point. I wonder how fast the Kenyan runners would be without the italian doctors. Oops, I mean coaches, or are they agents? I get so confused.
Fortunately they don't have American doctors, or they'd be dumb, and confused.
