African facts zone doesn’t verify its data.


African facts zone is owned by a boy in his 20’s who just started posting random things and the page blew up.

Don’t take his post seriously
90% of things pushed out as data in Nigeria are either estimations or guess work.
There is no real data agency or publication in Nigeria,not just African facts.
The idea of data in Nigeria is u use your local environment or experience and extrapolate to the general population or nation.

There's no millionaire who ever got rich by gambling. Gambling is a very regulated scheme to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

The most painful part? Gambling is a highly addictive venture. That's why betting is highly regulated in many first world countries but in Nigeria, the poverty capital of the world, gambling is a get-rich-quick scheme for owners.

Sadly, even our celebrities take money in exchange for their endorsement of the evil scheme.

There is NOTHING noble in gambling.

$975m daily? Does AFZ think we are fools or what? That amount is impossible for a poor country like Nigeria. $975m is more than 800billion naira. Are you telling me Nigerians place bets worth over 800billion naira daily? That means they place bets worth up to $8b a week abi? You guys are not okay for posting this bulshit.

A lot of people just copy any news they see online and paste it here without thinking about it properly.
First intelligent post I've read. The numbers are ridiculous. I doubt they even place up to one billion naira daily. Maybe on weekends. But weekdays? Doubtful. This site pushes garbage to the frontpage without any vetting whatsoever.

There are responsible gamblers. I cashed out over a million naira in the last 2 months and I did not spend up to 70k to stake them.

Expect this in a nation that have bad economy. A nation where unemployment is the order of the day. A nation where her politicians see electives position as means of getting more wealth instead of service to the nation. Yahoo Yahoo will soon become legally accepted.
This statistics will continue to increase until our leaders do something to our economy.


@me
This is the usual excuse for everything that happens. Are they gambling for free? Almost a billion dollars per day. It's the get rich quick mentality. It has metamorphosed to addiction. A man that is truly unemployed and has no regular source of income makes a little naira and sinks it into bottomless pit and you call it unemployment.

Tell the same man to put that small amount into something that will yield little income and he will ask you if that's what he will be doing to buy car, build houses etc.

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.....
This isn't to say I encourage gambling but see it this way...
I earn 200k plus monthly at my job.... But with 4500 some weeks back, I won 719k.....that's like 3 months salary.... With such money coming in at 6 times a year.... Crime no go hungry sensible person when no get big eye.

@me
This is the problem. You earn reasonable income but you want to get rich quick. You get into gambling. By the time you are hooked on it you will gamble with your entire income, sell your properties and borrow and sink all into gambling. You will then blame unemployment.

Every addiction starts like the above. There has never been any addiction that started with the person going deep at inception.

Alcohol - just one bottle. Drug - just one draw. Sex - just one round. Gambling - just one stake.

Bro, we too de hypocritical as a people towards doing the right thing. Someone steals cup of garri, people go killl am, but when one steals 10m, them go hail am. What kind of human beings be that? People will invest in a friendly land of other people, but will not allow people to invest in their own land. People will carry out elderly care abroad, but will not dare do that in Nigeria. They are proud of Canada, UK and other countries, but will not make effort to make where they live ok and comfortable for others.
