My family recently discovered that my younger brother who has been in the seminary and was supposed to be a reverend father in few years time has a very big gambling issue.

Over the years, he has accumulated a gambling debt of 2M (borrowed majorly from loan sharks). When I discovered about the incidence, I hesitated involving my retired dad and mum because of the shock they might get hearing about this but when I discovered I couldn't pay the debt alone, i had to involve them. Thank God they handled it calmly. My dad and I have offset 700k debts already but I recently discovered that he is still borrowing and betting even recently (someone that has access to his details revealed this to me today). I am totally devastated and I don't know how to relay this to my parents to avoid heart attack. The gruesome part of the whole story is that he is JOBLESS because of his seminary school journey (which he has willingly pulled out from because of this issue).

Please my fellow nairanders, how do I handle this problem? I'm fed up

Discovering he was owing loan sharks 2m (which he used in gambling) and repaying part of the money by u and your dad gave him temerity to borrow more and gamble.

You should have allowed him to sort himself out from the loan people. He actually went to borrow more because he believe you guys would still come to his rescue again. You are very correct brother I am an addicted gambler if you don't learn the hard way your head will never come to normal. I lost everything I had sold my properties sold my shop and went back to square one, currently now I regret my life I am now working as a night security guard and a private school teacher to see if I can save money again to start up business again I pray God lift me again, I went from living in a two bedroom flat to living in church now but I believe God can still lift me up again


Addicted gamblers need to learn in hard ways.

The reason why Nigeria is the way it is today is because people don't get punished for their crimes. Your brother squandered 2M on betting, instead of you guys to allow the owners of the monies handle him, you decided to pay. What does that tell him? He's told that for each time he messes up, someone is on standby to clean up his mess. You don't know the monster you're grooming. I have a brother like that. He's 35 and doesn't think of anything other than betting. If someone is at the point of death in the hospital and you give him money to take to the hospital for treatment, the money is gone. He rather have that person die than for him not to play. For ten years, I have been saying he should be allowed to face punishment for his crimes, even if it means him going to prison or getting killed, but my parents will say it'll bring shame to the family. Today, they are the ones looking for him to take him to prison. He has become a thief, a fraudster, and a mad person. No thanks to bet9ja. Almost ten years after graduating from school, no meaningful career, no business, no wife, nothing nothing. Sadly, it doesn't even bother him as long as he has access to play. Most of his mates are doing fine for themselves, some not very fine but they are putting in the work. But him, it must be bet9ja. He's destroyed every single relationship he has built from birth because of what he has done with their money. Yet, this guy has not been to prison once. Continue to pet your brother you hear? E go soon shock una

Simple advice, take your brother to prison now. For everytime you clear his debt, you're grooming a monster.

Tell us more about the demon.

Too many gambling cases arising these days..

How do ppl get themselves involved in gambling?

These guys ain't out for ur interest as many may think. They're all out to make profit too so there's no way you can be smarter than them. The sooner you stop seeing gambling as a get rich quick scheme that wouldn't have any positive impact in ur lives and desist from it, the better...

My dad is already considering locking him up because we recently discovered he used my dad's BVN and our last born's BVN to borrow total of 400k from loan sharks.
That's the one that threw all of us off balance

Sorry about your ordeal. God has definitely come to your rescue, u would see the manifestation in due time, just keep your hope alive.

I stake on sporty bet too just for fun. You hardly see me staking week in week out. If i could remember vividly, there was a certain time l had over 30k in my betking account the money stayed there ove 5week without me staking kobo from it.

The bottom line is discipline and stake the amounth you c as pure water money.

youth empowerment, he should contact me for sure 5 odds he go recover

What is the title of this movie...

terrezo2002:

One of the ways the devil use to tarnish one's destiny is through betting. Your brother wants to be rich. The devil saw it and capitalised on that.
1. Let your brother dedicate his life to Christ Jesus.
2. Let him destroy every desire to be rich. Let his desires for God supercede every other desires.
3. Let him trust God to provide for him.

I don't see any other therapy that works better than these.
With time, you brother will recover. The debts will be paid and he will testify.
If he doesn't do these, you guys should prepare for the worst. Betting is a terrible demon that doesn't leave his victims.

Rajman45:
I pray ur brother receive divine healing from gambling and betting evil force. May this gambling evil spirit stop being his portion......can somebody shout Amen
