    Usual Nigerian disorganization, why put up the advert on the 12th when registration started on the 1st, its clear that staff of smart mark waited till they had all registered along with dem paddies before they released the ads .. I buy a lot of products from Nike stores in Lagos but due to this I hate them now

    Why is the truth biting you .. I listen to radio evry day in the car and never heard of it till yesterday and also saw it on Linda same day..Infact I just got a new pair of running shoes from your (I know U are Smart Mark idiot) store and there was no publicity about it there. I am not bothered just tot it would be fun to run competition style out my gated estate that's all . And you are lucky I don't know you cos if I did that the end of your chicken salary career with smart mark
