I suggested you guys should withdraw him from the school first then send him to correctional centre, so that he will stop dreaming

It's not a mistake or error.
Let me plug in loudly! Go to the LORD'S CHOSEN !


Fine ! But you want the brother to go to a near by bible believing church. Remember someone sows the word and reaps elsewhere. The goal shouldn't be church membership but heaven membership.

I totally agree with that working 24/7, an idle hand is the devils workshop. When boredom strikes and lack of something to do, the mind will wander.

But if they cut off financial support, I think it might make him more susceptible to trying to make ends meet through fast means I.e Gambling. Like, if I play safe with 1k, I will make 1,500 profit. And if the 1k is gone, he will want to win his money back n leave. We know how that story ends.

Introducing him to trade like u suggested is a superb idea as well. Once he has a steady source of income he will learn how grow money through profits rather than fast cash.


Cutting off financial support is not feasible unless he has a reliable source of income.


My point is when he has a reliable source of income....., don't SPOIL him so that he won't see himself as having something extra towards gambling.

Sports betting, The Graveyard of a greedy yoot!

All promises of a better life, rots in their catacombs, - while you weep.

If you know how many suicides that are connected to sports betting and irresponsible gaming, you'll begin to see things differently.

It's needless to say I am not against gambling, even Bet9ja will tell you to gamble responsibly.
But how many gamblers are responsible?

Gambling messes with your brain, while bet companies are banking on your greediness.sir can u help me stop betting. am addicted to virtual . i want to stop all completely but its very difficult .

From Vegas to Hong Kong, be it Enugu or Lagos, the stories are always the same.

Lest I forget, I'm not talking about Virtual, virtual gamers are almost irredeemable, you can hardly change them. Thank you.
