Mr. Onoh Chukwuma Richard, the young man from Ututu, Abia State, who committed suicide after losing a sports betting worth N2.5m naira has been laid to rest in a very mild burial, a friend of the deceased confirmed to DAILY INDEPENDENT on anonymity.

The friend said the deceased was buried in the night of Wednesday, December 13, 2023. According to him, the death of Onoh Richard was one that had remained painful among his friends and family members.

Sharing a picture of the lifeless body of Onoh while at the hospital, the friend wrote: “Untold stories of unimaginable willingness to assist you would be told by folks who ignored your cry for help, just the moment you are gone.

People would rather buy you expensive drinks than give you quality financial assistance, even when they have the means to do so. Except you haven’t been down, you may not understand the pains of loneliness, depression, disappointment and total dejection.

”You’ll watch people spend millions lavishly but deny you just a thousand. You’ll question your sanity and feel God left you already.

“Only the word of God and having true knowledge of who he is, will save you each time the devil whispers his evil plans in your head.

“We’re all fighting a demon. If you’ve got the means, please help in any way you can. Don’t withhold your grain; it could just save a life.

“This was the moment Onoh Chukwuma Richard gave up after taking his own life. I believe the government should set policies that’ll truly regulate sports betting and other related gambling services in Nigeria.”

who committed suicide after losing a sports betting worth N2.5m naira...

What exactly happened?

Did he win but lost his slip?

Did he play but failed to win?

Did he win and didn't misplace his slip but the bet company refused to give him the money?

Be specific. What should the government regulate about betting? If you are talking about regulating how much time and how much money an adult (18+) should spend on betting, you are not making any sense. I have never tried betting or any form of gambling. But the truth remains that betting is like consuming food or alcohol. You can't tell an alcohol company or a food vendor to regulate the quantity or amount sold to adults. Betting is within the freedom and choices adults have.

Will you ask the government to regulate how many cars an individual can own since people die from road accident? Will you ask the government to stop some adults from buying alcohol because many people are often seen drunk? What about Forex trading and stock market in which people lose money?

If you are talking about preventing those below the age of consent from betting and ensuring that bet companies pay bet winners, you have a valid point.

Had it been they don't lie about being billionaires. Help for quick reach this guy. What a sad end

Thank you for saying the truth in a hilarious way. 😂

According to what was reported on the news, he played a bet with sum of 2.5 and he failed to win and the game went against his prediction. Their was claim in the news that he borrowed the money he use for playing the bet, maybe for something else but thought he could doubled it through betting. That didn't go as planned.
He ended it all!

I think the government should force this useless bookies to introduce one cut, two cut on betting slips

How'll you stake almost 35 matches and just one or two match will cut it, so unfair

Sportybet one cut policy is a very stupid One

Ok

Billionaire rip

No one should shame the dead, he's gone and judgement is between him and his creator.

But we still living souls should know that sucide is a cowardly act and a shameful thing to bear by those left behind and most especially oneself after demise.

If you're having a suscidal thought better do something crazy like Waka from Lagos to Kano. Your head go reset before you reach half way

This guy na big mumu

While I don't support or approve of the actions he took, it's essential for us not to pass overly harsh judgments on him. All we heard from him and others is that he played some games and lost some money, which led him to commit suicide. What many of us may not be aware of is that there could be other underlying factors that contributed to this tragic event. Death is an aspect of life that humans have limited or no explanation for, and suicide, just like accidents, diseases, heart attacks, etc has also been a way for many to pass over to the world beyond if there is any. A wise man once said, death may just be the greatest of all blessings for a man, who knows?

So it’s real

Bet what you can afford to lose
