Africa Facts Zone

Such staggering numbers

This is very true sha, it's an incurable addiction

the high unemployment rate is partly responsible, infact it has become a walk of life for some people.

Some Media houses now advertise the gambling business as well

It’s not gambling, it’s sports trading ..

…….and it’s legit.

More green ✅ to punters this weekend👍 🙏

All thanks to the drug Lord.

And more than 64 million of them are running at loss

Almost a billion dollars everyday. That is about $365 billion dollars a year and we are called the poverty capital of the world? Make it make sense.

[s][/s] Expect this in a nation that have bad economy. A nation where unemployment is the order of the day.

Na true ooo....

And we have more and more persons joining the market daily.

I entered one of the supermarkets a certain day and overhead one of the attendants discussing with a cashier....

The attendant should probably be between 15 and 17 years of age, and he was telling the attendant that he placed a correct score bet 1-0 between two teams and it nearly entered.

When the cashier asked him what the team played, he replied 2-2 and the cashier burst out laughing. I just had to stiffle mine.

So apparently, the youngster doesn't even know how to bet and he has keyed into it notwithstanding, thus adding to the ever growing number of bettors in the country.

Oti poju!!

Southern Nigeria = thugs, drug dealers, thieves, yahoos, alcoholics, adulterers North = terrorist, drug addicts, bandits

That's to tell you the level of poverty in the country. People have lost faith in Government as the economy has totally collapse.
They now see gambling as their last resort.

It's crazy mehn

Ordinary, large markets is one of the advantages of large vibrant population. Large markets should translate to large volumes of production,hence large exports. China exports even pencils and toothpicks, utilizing thier large population (enough cheap labour) But in my country, everything is upside down, insideout. Our Large population counts for nothing, it can't even be hannessed for anything.

What this statistic fail to mention is that gambling has also helped reduce crime.... Though not very significantly, but at least to a reasonable extent.....
