Tinubu will never ban sport betting because it keeps the youth occupied; it's either they're elated from winning or depressed from constant losses..either way they're too busy to challenge his execrable and criminal leadership process

So sad they are busy doing norhing

Though I don't support betting but what was the economic situation of Nigerians b4 betting companies became very pronounced in Nigeria?

Instead of telling his gods the truth on how to denuminate the naira and allow the poor to be able to buy, he is here talking like he didn't pass basic Economics in school.

Thank God he is on nairaland reading what we are typing.

That guy will never amount to anything good going by this his lazy attitude of always taking the wrong side.

I thought he would direct his advice to Atiku on how to help the youth with his wealth.

Nonsense...

Very nice suggestion. Sport betting is not a productive venture. We need our youth to be productively engaged in productive and creative ventures not in get-rich-quick ventures. You won't see Chinese daily sitting idly looking for lottery windfall that will never be in their lifetime.
Look, that idea of yours and Reno is very selfish. We are in a country where people are living in hopelessness and running through a hell of difficult time. Nigerians need something to give them hope to make them cling to life and not giving up on their situations, at least if politicians default their promises. Influential people that are financially buoyant should even encourage government to introduce national lottery whereby every citizens can try their luck to win a life changing fortunes as it's done in abroad.

Social media influencer, Reno Omokri, has urged President Bola Tinubu to ban sports betting apps in the country.

According to Omokri, a ban on sports betting apps could even help improve the value of the Naira.

Omokri, who quoted the National Lottery Trust Fund. lamented that “$1 billion is spent on gambling daily in Nigeria.”

The media influencer expressed his views in a series of tweets shared via his X profile on Wednesday.

His tweet read, “President Tinubu can immediately improve the economic conditions of most Nigerians and make the Naira grow by issuing an Executive Order authorising the Nigerian Communications Commission to ban sports betting apps from the App Store of any GSM Internet Service Provider in Nigeria and revoking the licenses of any physical sports betting operators in Nigeria. It makes better sense than Buhari’s draconian #TwitterBan.”

The former Special Assistant to erstwhile President Goodluck Jonathan stated that an average Nigerian spends “$15 daily on sports betting and other types of gambling.”

Omokri noted that despite the high rate of gambling in the country, the “vast majority of that amount” is leaving the shores of the country into foreign nations, compared to the nation’s externally generated revenue.

“This is scary. How much is our GDP that we are pissing it away like that? More money is leaving Nigeria through gambling than is coming in,” he wrote.

Omokri cautioned., “The Naira can never sustain its rally under such circumstances.”

The tweet stated further, “There is such an epidemic of gambling in Nigeria and it is destroying Nigerian youths. $1 billion is spent on gambling daily in Nigeria, according to the National Lottery Trust Fund. Please fact-check me.

“The average Nigerian spends $15 daily on sports betting and other types of gambling, with the vast majority of that amount leaving our economy and going to places like Russia, South Africa, and Europe. The Naira can never sustain its rally under such circumstances.”

Findings by PUNCH Online reveal that several sports betting firms operate in Nigeria. Some of the betting firms include Bet9ja, Nairabet, Merry Bet and SportyBet, amongst others.

Omokri, in his post, further urged Tinubu to “act on such a matter as threatening to our national security as this gambling epidemic.”

He also condemned the illegal means through which some Nigerian youths sought money “to fund their gambling habit.”

PUNCH Online reports that the Minister of Special Duties and Intergovernmental Affairs, Zephaniah Jisalo, said the Federal Government would find a lasting solution to the friction caused by revenue generation in the gaming sector.

Jisalo noted that the FG “will do all within its statutory powers to ensure the gaming industry remains on the steady path of sustainable growth and development,” while speaking at the 2023 International Gaming Conference held at the Eko Hotels and Suites, Victoria Island, Lagos State, on Tuesday, October 31, 2023.

The Fund’s Executive Secretary/Chief Executive Officer, Bello Maigari, appearing before the House of Representatives Committee on Finance on Monday, November 20, 2023, stated that the Fund, in 2023, generated N2.5 billion, noting however that the entire sum had been spent in the execution of various projects across the country.

The money, he said, was generated from statutory remittances from licenses and permit holders.

Reno Omokri ansd economic illiteracy can not be divorced.

How can $1bn be spent on gambling each day?

A Nairalander said they fintech processes about N20BN in revenue for Bet9ja monthly, which is Nigeria's largest online betting platform. That is about $20m monthly.

It seems him and Ola of Lagos are munching on 5.7m fish together.

Gambling is a personal choice. No betting platform point a gun to their heads to gamble.
Las Vegas, NV, Is known as a gambling city. And generate huge revenue for that State.
