Employee commits suicide in Bayelsa after losing boss’ N150,000 to gambling

A 28-YEAR-OLD man, identified simply as Suga, has committed suicide in Bayelsa State.

Suga, who hailed from Nembe Local Government Area of the state, allegedly poisoned himself with a substance suspected to be Sniper (insecticide) after using his boss’ money worth N150,000 to play bet9ja virtual games.

It was learnt that he killed himself on Wednesday after staking a variant of bet9ja popularly called ‘Ogbu ngwa ngwa’, which literally translates as ‘it kills quicker than normal football matches’.

This virtual game is said to last less than two minutes and one either wins or loses and it is controlled by computers as programmed.

A community source, who craved anonymity, said Suga used to run a Bet9ja shop for his unnamed boss in Bassambiri Nembe area of the state.

The source said the money the deceased used to play the virtual bets was meant for the day’s work.

The source stated: “Suga, not knowing how to explain the situation to his boss, made him to take his own life.”

Suga’s death is said to have increased the number of people who have died from betting and gambling since last year in the state to three.

When contacted, the Police Public Relations Officer, Bayelsa State Command, Mr Asinim Butswat, said though the police were aware of the incident, the matter was not officially reported.

“The Divisional Police Officer of Bassambri Nembe said the incident was not reported officially to the police. He, however, said they heard about the incident,” the spokesman stated.

This is very bad, why take your life for 150k, how about telling him and promise to pay if possible gradually?

One of the down sides of betting.

But taking his life over 150,000 Naira was too extreme.

no words for the guy right now

Gambling gone wrong

If you never use person money play visual , you no go understand way tin do this guy.

Some people has become homeless cos they can't go back home.

I have seen a building contractor who left his workers on the site to play visual. All the money meant for his workers finished.
He had to go home from there while is workers was waiting for him at the site.

Meeeeeen ..... Story plenty

To stop seeing this kind of story.. Government should put a limit to how much a center can play in a day.

It can be program.. Just that those gaming company are very greedy making billions on poor, rich, old, young, male, female, professional, illiterate, hard working people, lazy people etc every F u cking day.

Something need to be done I swear

Even in video games it is hard to defeat the computer opponent you are playing with not to talk of virtual soccer gamble.The computer game will do you ojoro if you are better than it.I play bet9ja a lot but I have never attempted virtual soccer.If I go to a bet9ja shop to stake a live soccer bet and another customer came in after me to play virtual soccer the cashier will first attend to the virtual soccer customer before he attend to me because he will make more money from him than me.Even the #100 wey I dey stake E dey pain me gan if I lose.Especially when one game cut my #50k winning.

Pitiful

Lolz! Virtual (baby) has been killing niggarz since 1990.

This is gross misconduct.

stake what you can afford to lose

Damnnnnn niggarrr
Too bad

But that won't deter us from playing

Real niggarrrz don't quit
Because quitters don't win
And winners don't quit
We Will continue to stake our money on it with sense
Because for every day we wake we are faced with more than a hundred ways to become a millionaire of which gambling is among

A big shout out to my fellow gamblers, punters, stakers, risk takers and high rollers
We will continue to roll our dice
Even the life we are living is a gamble

There is nothing too hard for elders in the community to solve...you should have contacted the elders....worst comes to worst , you work some years for the money as a slave , since u chose to be a slave to gambling...issorite ...you can go ...don't try this next time

I don't gamble and I don't recommend it but then, having had knowledge of it in the past, I think the main reason why most Nigerians lose in it, is because of greediness. That is the weakness of every punter, and that's the psychological aspect most betting providers use in making profit.


Wanting to win N49,000,000 with N100? Not that it doesn't happen once in a while but that's not playing by the rules.
There are big punters around the world, Club managers, rich fans, rich Arab guys etc. They know the rules, they play by the rules and they cash out.

It's a general myth amongst amateur punters which is very wrong. Virtual doesn't manipulate, the results are always fixed but it's very unpredictable, and unrealistic. That's why people lose.

Many years ago, around 6yrs ago or more, there used to be one Nigerian guy who calls himself Nosa and another one who calls himself baba Sampat or so.
Nosa was into virtuals and he won millions with virtuals, he had a blog then and had free and premium ebooks on virtual games.
Sampat, I think is a scammer who pretends to be spiritualist who uses supernatural powers to get result of games which he sold to people on Facebook.
Both were Nairalanders those days, Nairaland being different then from what it is now, I always had the opportunity of witnessing their long hot threads where they fought, dissed and exposed themselves.
Nosa taught people arbitrage betting etc. And he exposed everything behind Virtuals on different betting sites. That's when you realize there's no manipulation in virtuals like most believe.

Small 5k my younger brother will lose in Bet9ja will be acting as if he wants to die. He needs to see this. Hahaha.


Rip

Oh Lawd save every real niggars from Poverty.

Nigerians eh.....you would see the online motivational speakers coming out to say...

why kill yourself for 150k...
150k is too small...
why didn't you beg....

like if he had come asking for money especially here on nairaland, would you have given

Nigerians are hypocrites..

Gamble responsibly but Una no go hear. Una wan use #100 win 20million. Now he lost 150k and his life, what will he tell God.

I hate gambling and my religion categorically forbids it

Satan has been punishing many people and getting them into trouble for decades,
