Now adays it is very rare you count up to ten youths and not come across six of them that gambles either one way or the other ... Married men and older men and women are not left out , either they embark on soccer bettings, visual, Baba something that you predict numbers to come , Go to Casino etc...
I was once a gambler and I know and understand it has more harms to offer than any good . I have met with people, talked to them about this destructive way of living called Gambling .. Some youth can not further their education again , some have sold their houses , some have become unresponsible parents because of Gambling ..many I have spoken with one on one,some have even sold their lands , their income or salary don't even last a week when it is collected because of gambling .. what a pity and a shameful way of living ..
Addiction to gambling is very dangerous and can ruin ones life , which not alone but can also make one commit suicide ... Many of us are so much willing to change but each time we take a step we find ourselves going back to it..
The consequences of addiction to gambling is so much but I will like to lay emphasis on some ;
1) It makes one not to responsible.. either as a youth , mother , father at home , at work and other places .
2) It turns you to be a chronic liar. ie you start thinking of how to get money to gamble and thereby telling different sort of lies to get money from people ...
3) It does not let you have time to serve God .
4) Gambling makes one looses his or her properties and hardly will you be able to change clothes
5) As a married man or woman , it affect your responsibilities and love life ..
6) It causes sickness like high BP . This happens each time you loose and you think .
7) You tend to loose the important people in your lives ..
Gambling wrecks Business even as an entrepreneur..
9) Gambling can make one commit suicide
10)Gambling gives you a day of happiness but months of sorrow...
