On Monday, October 14, 2019, comedian Oga Obinna made good on his end of a bet with fellow radio host Anto Neosoul, walking through Nairobi's city center dressed in a wedding gown.
The wager, set prior to the INEOS challenge marathon in Vienna, required Obinna to wear the wedding dress and pay a photographer/videographer to capture the walk if Eliud Kipchoge broke the 1:59 time barrier.
Obinna initially claimed the bet was rigged, but ultimately fulfilled his end of the deal, causing quite the spectacle for city dwellers who wondered what was happening.
At one point, the radio presenters had to explain to passersby about their bet and invited them to take selfies with Obinna.
After the walk, Obinna took to social media to express his dissatisfaction with the outcome, writing, 'I paid my DEBT IN FULL @antoneosoul Your day will come. We all know I didn’t lose the bet about ELUID KIPCHOGE running for 1:59 or less. It’s okay!!'
