Lily4star: Call me a pessimist but if his story is true I would say there's no say back for him unless he cries for external help and violently extreme measures are put in place to prevent him betting First step is for him to confess to his people what he's done before the chips start to fall so they can start sorting themselves out because it would be worse if he has to wait for them to figure it out and from the story some have started figuring it out 1 Like |

Ridhw0n: Wow! People are usually surprised when I tell them I've never played sports betting before despite the fact that I could mention the name of almost every player in the top 4 leagues together with where they've been before and many results their teams have stretching back to over 2 decades with varying degrees of accuracy. many even think I'm lying when I tell them I have no idea about it Honestly this sports betting of a thing is a fast way to lose a fortune which would've been compounded so while punters think they lost 100k today, they've lost even more by power of compounding interest. There was a tailor that approached me, said he needed money to keep his business afloat. He seemed a responsible guy so I lent him 50,000 but in my mind I actually gave him. Few months later I learnt his business was actually okay but had gotten into debt by sports betting, he lost everything I "lent" him to the same sports betting I think the government needs to step in and stem the destruction sports betting is wreaking in the lives of youths of Nigeria. Many of these guys are losing money they don't have in attempts to recover the monies they lost till they have nothing left, not even self worth. I do empathise with you though and honestly stories like yours make me more determined not to bet You need to come clean to your people. they won't kill you. the earlier the better and the faster you'd get help because if you keep shamefully keeping it secret it might get so bad when the secret gets blown out that you might be forced to commit suicide out of shame 4 Likes |

HardMirror:I appreciate this sir, i've known you for a long time on Nairaland through my previous account "Teensway" (deactivated). I got it deactivated after i left a note of wanting to commit sucide on nairaland. About learning a skill, i've tried programming. I have some knowledge on c++ and python but i can't practice because i lack the necessary tools which i can't afford. I've tried mechanic, it was Mum's pressure that made me to stop. Tried generator mechanic, same. I'm currently teaching some pupils at our home but half of the pay goes to mum. I received 3k yesterday, i initially wanted to register for P-ume but mum borrowed it promising to pay today. I could have gone to compt villa et all, Mais Je n'ai pas le temp and i'm not in Lagos. I've wanted to try freelancing but i have no tools except this Java phone i'm holding. I know what you mean, but the will is there but i can't find a way. It's as if i stucked in a black hole and i'm not progressing 1 Like |

Lily4star:lol. You know nothing about gambling. When i lost my first 30k i tot i would never gamble again. Now i have lost over 5million. I have a thread here on nairaland where i talked about gambling. I had lost 2million at that point and yet today i have exceeded 5million. Breaking free from gambling is not by being willed, you have to create structures to keep your finances away from your direct control 4 Likes 1 Share |

Lily4star:nope. Not quitting. Instead working towards having my own betting company. Most likely a cryptocurrency based betting platform. I regret losing so much, but all good.

IamTeen:little or nothing i have there. Keep a tab on me. Lets see if anything comes up i cld engage you with in the nearest future. By the way check out guys like Ymodulous and mayorall here on nairaland. Known these guys since 2013/2014 and it is amazing how they built their lives from almost nothing. Take time to think. Also relate make friends with guys who are thinking ahead and working... you may have to serve first, but it is all temporary, with time you would be able to stand on your own. If you were in lagos i could i linked you up with young hustling guys you can learn from 2 Likes |

Lol. Nice thread. Truth is suicide and depression is not something you can understand until you experience it you might like to think you know but wait till you experience it. Situations and circumstances differ from people to people as well as their severity. Individuals differ so one must not make the mistake of using one's self as a yard stick to talk to depressed individuals. Moreover, what one sees as important in life is what another sees as rubbish. Some seek academic prudence while some seek money. Many once told themselves no matter what I will never commit suicide but many years later they become suicide victims. I try to encourage suicidal and depressed individuals but I don't push them by all means to live or tell them how valuable life is because to someone that is depressed and suicidal, life has no meaning and is of no value to them. When I want to tell them that there is light at the end of the tunnel, I ask myself "how do I know?", it's easy to advise them to pick themselves up but life is not easy like that, for every successful man, there thousands of unfortunate individuals. I also think it's naive to say tell them that others are worse off. Truth is whether we like to acknowledge it or not, certain lives and living conditions are not worth it. They are not worth living. Suicide does not discriminate, it happens to the rich and poor, black and white, wicked and good. The topic is complex, live your life the way you want. 7 Likes |

Re: Let Us Talk About Suicide. Have You Ever Felt Like Taking Your Life? by HardMirror(m): 2:54pm On Aug 16, 2018 |
Martinez19:actually i think it is best we encourage people who express their depression to us. That is the first step. Many are glad they were talked out of the act. We can never tell, we just have to try. |
Re: Let Us Talk About Suicide. Have You Ever Felt Like Taking Your Life? by Martinez19(m): 2:59pm On Aug 16, 2018 |
HardMirror:True. Some are later happy that they never committed suicide (one of them even posted here) some are still in the backhole and it's even getting worse but I agree that we should always give it a try because for those that later make it, it's worth it. |

Martinez19:it is bro. We all gonna die eventually so lets face the damn thing. Tho no big deal, if afterall he/she still wanna die, no p.
