Well you're being sincere.
But common it's for business minded peepz.
Besides if you use the 10k to do all of these, then what will you be using your salary for, since you work?

95 percent of my salary till December is to service debts from my past mistakes. Only God can save me now. I dare not resign or I go to jail. Because I owe lots of people

I will be lying if I say I have a strong business I can do with 10k. What I can assure you is that, if I win 10k, I will use it to survive for 20 days (500 a day). Morning food - bread and akara which is 200. Evening food will be two swallow without meat - 200. The last 100 naira will be to transport each day to the office to avoid paying fine for latecoming while I trek back at the close of day

Xscape1993:
Gambling is not good ooo.

I swear. It's the worst addiction I ever experienced. My addiction to masturbation or carbonated drinks never wrecked me like this one that made me sell my properties and use people's money

jetwonder:

True. My greatest regret since 2015

LIGHTHEARTED0:
.



what do you want us to do with this insensible info

sebi una no wan get sense with your previous gambling topic,it shows u will never get sense

hmm. I will keep trying again sir. Start afresh. This time do more than 60 days of abstaining

Totilopussylick:
I once went to bet9ja shop with my last card i played the visual and won about #800 with 2 hundred naira.

The place there's this restaurant very close to the bet9ja shop.

A plate of eba and ewedu soup is #500

I quickly went in and took care of my belly first.

I said to myself, i won't enter bet9ja after I finish eating

But surprisesly i found myself in the shop

And that was how the remaining #300 went back to where it came out from .

I went back home empty handed

I can relate. The temporary reward is to lure one back. then they take back in ten folds

Just back from a betshop with a heavy heart. I played bet9ja Virtual with the only 2000 naira I had. I lost and then gambled with customers 6500 naira with me I had to tender on Monday (as a marketer). Don't even know how to lie to them by Monday.

After which I quickly played 2000 naira virtual on credit claiming I would transfer it to them. I thought I would recover all. I lost it. They kept asking for their money and wanted to embarrass me or seize my phone. Luckily for me, I reached out to colleagues with lies in order to get urgent 2k loan from them. One reached out


Back home with my phone but in sorrow. A graduate's life wasting away (over 7 years in the act). I am really a child of doom

After over 60 days of abstaining from bet9ja virtual, I went back to the act. I won 1500 which I used to eat. Though I feel disappointed and scared. I might be tempted to go back again. As a precaution, I have decided not to go back there for any reason (not even charging or football) till further notice

I can relate. Hmm

atilla:
Fantastic. Im happy to hear you've cleared up the waec fees.
Try and start saving for something good for urself. You deserve it. Dont fall back and go near betting centre again to charge your phone

Thanks. Saving? Cost of feeding is high. Maybe when a bigger job comes through. As for visiting a bet shop, I won't lie, I still do. Just that the submission that I can never beat the system, turns me off. (you win today and lose tomorrow). Just phone charging, the drinks session and watching live matches on TV is my focus now. Currently 53 days clean

Alleluia. Life still continues in my hide out. At a time, I thought I would be consumed. There was the fear of curses from those I duped or being arrested by loan apps who keep threatening me if I don't pay up or being beaten by the people I lured to lend me money. Bet9ja virtual finished me (from Dec 2015 - January 2022).

It's March 1st now. Hopefully, I will continue to survive and live to tell the story. Alleluia I didn't get lynched or beaten as repercussions before I changed. I pray it stays this way. I have suffered enough. So far, I have been able to pay back all the waec fees I squandered from the job I am doing at my hideout.

CAPSLOCKED:
SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE REALLY ENJOYING YOURSELF. WHAT EXACTLY IS YOUR COMPLAINT WHEN YOU'RE INVOLVED WITH 2 OF THE BEST THINGS IN THE WORLD?

hmm. Nothing is as bad as gambling. No matter what is in your hand, bet9ja virtual takes it all within few minutes

Starz825:
Oh..guy you still dey...
I thought you said you are taking a leave off mother earth

the thought of that, scared the sh*t out of me. Life's too precious. There were times I nearly did crazy things to make ends meet, that would have cost me my life. Thanks to God, I am clearing my headache gradually.

I will try to change my lines to avoid creditors and have a fresh start. Only a clear head can remove negative thoughts from my mind now.

LIVINGICON:
U don come again with this your book of Lamentations. Trust me, u are not ready to fight off these addictions and they will be the stuffs that ruin you on the long run.

hmm I have currently abstained for 14 days

Polynek:
The solution to ur problems are all in ur hands bro

how boss? Have you ever been addicted to something? How did you pull through? Maybe I need serious drilling to change. That I fear a lot, hence I run from state to state.

Who has a link to a therapy group I can always confide in, share my story and be motivated to keep trying/striving?

Now, I can't try out womanising because I am always broke due to debts that have piled up.i don't even have a strong erection or good clothes to attract women.

As for drugs, scared if I go into it now, I may lose my senses, considering my frustration/predicament

I envy my younger brother who is addicted to womanising and drug intake. His nice physique catches the eyes of ladies. He is hardly moved by Betting as he devotes his time to his love games online. Elderly wealthy ladies online take him out and spoil him with money and gifts.

His sexual ability (probably boosted by his intake of drugs) makes ladies come back for more. His time is dedicated to clubbing and flaunting lifestyle. Even though he spends money for the aforementioned, I envy his kind of addiction. It doesn't make him to dupe others or run from persecution like I do. So much enjoyment he gets. Mine is sorrow all long

"the best way to fight an addiction, is to get a stronger addiction"

Masturbation and Bet9ja virtual (gambling) are my current addiction. The former has really helped me clear my head and induce sleep when sober (though it has affected my erection), the latter has done nothing good to me, only to destroy my life (since 2015 December)

So happy I was able to beg the customers I gambled off their 25k and lied I was robbed. I have till month end to pay off. Hmm. How long will I continue to go into trouble due to my Bet9ja virtual addiction. Mere looking at me, I am a gentle man to the core, no drinking, smoking, rough life or womanising. The devil just sent Betting to shift my focus

Botking:
This Man, you still dey alive, the only thing wer I fit tell you now is make you change your name, do well oh make your future clear like clearance Peters

okay sir. I will stop going there to charge. Even if my phone off, I go bear. I really fear I have no future. Maybe the curses of those I tricked to gamble before are working on me. As for the name, I would have long deactivated this account, just that I forgot the password to the Gmail linked to it

I just have to find a way to help myself out. Will look for a rich customer to bail me out. I pray I see. No one here is interested in my case.

If I scale through, I will need to do something to change my life for good.

First of all, please I need a room mate. Someone that can help condition my thoughts whenever I am bored

atilla:
Are u playing with us or are u just actually silly. Why would u take all the money with you to getting shop sebi inside u wont go there to charge again.

it's the spirit. I lose control when I start playing. It's better not to play at all in my case.

Hmm. To think I embarked on a three-days prayer and fasting, then use of anointing oil and soap to bathe, when I visited my father's pastor. Still no changes


God of Shedrach, Meschach and Abednego! Why have you abandoned my case

Ammishaddai:
A fool and his money are soon parted

please don't give up on me. I am à graduate with a bright future ahead of me. I can even quit my job now and save face if someone can save me one last time.

Even if it means swearing to pay back with time or working as a househelp to recover the money. Please sir

6ixT8:
rhis guy again.

King of cruise!.

I swear to God, it's true. I am restless as I type this. I have lost sleep ever since. Can't cook or wash. Just hitting my leg on the wall. Please intervene. One last chance. My heart is beating fast. I don't want to go to jail, keep running or lose this job. I don't mind coming to where you stay and show you proof before you help me

Ahmback:
what even took you to the shop? You ain't ready to change

I want to change sir. Please save me. My dad has warned me to stop accepting deposits and allow them pay in money when they want. But my manager's advice and the quest to grow my deposit, won't let me listen. Can you help me pay back the debt? Not to my personal account. To the beneficiaries account. Once my December bonus come through (latest 15th), I will pay back part of it. It's about 15k. Then I pay the rest when I receive salary. I am a marketer. The thing is by Monday, the bvn will be generated. Then I create the accounts with my login details. After which they will be expecting their initial deposit latest Tuesday.

From charging, it has turñed to something else. O God! Still no self control.

24,600 naira of customers I am meant to deposit by Tuesday has gone to bet9ja Virtual.

I thought I had changed this new year. Despite going there with no money, I got tempted and played on credit. I had to rush home to bring money. I foolishly brought all I kept.

Lord help me! I should have paid the money into sundry account of the bank. Who will save me now


I feel like dying

No way one can relocate without finding a bet9ja shop there. They have proliferated in the country. What I need is self-discipline. I even go to a bet shop to charge without distraction of looking at the screen.

Day seven of the year, still clean. How I wish gambling addicts like me can join me to create a WhatsApp group where we can encourage ourselves

nerdfrost:
Na una wey gambling dey affect...If I say I won't gamble,I won't


Haven't placed a bet for over 3 months now.....I only do it when I feel like suprised people still struggle with gambling

Meanwhile


Nosimp2022

lucky you. I envy you. Self-control is one virtue I long to have. Currently day 5 without gambling. The tactics I am applying now is, rush home and lock myself up immediately after work to avoid any temptation.

God help me

BABYharder:
I was once a gambler but in my case I gambled because I needed to sort my education financial challenges.
I got semi-addicted to it but thank God I found a new straining addiction that countered it.

exactly. A stronger addiction is what can save me now. I once went three months without betting (the highest I have abstained). What helped me was I was absorbed with sex chat, masturbation, junk food, my phone and hanging out in bars. But any little idleness I have, I think of the act. Or when I go to betshops to charge phone, I get lost again.

Not giving up on myself yet. Currently clean this year. Three days and counting. Now I work in a bank, charging will no longer be a problem. Only on weekends. That one I can counter it by buying drink in a bar And charging my phone there (hopefully)

Many are mad..few are on nairaland

it's my reality. I just chose to be vocal About it. Many pass through the same fate

Cerebellum:
Uhmm

The truth OP, the world is changed from the good to bad
Look at how people now behave non-chalantly.
I just weep for the coming generation, vices have destroyed the world.
From drugs, fraud, holoshoism, etc
Little girls now do hookup, how will those cater for their kids when they give birth
Yahoo is the other of the day too.

The world is doomed!

hmm. I miss being young, free and innocent

(3) The Economy

The government and the determinants of market price have not helped matters. First, I will start with the government. There is no enabling environment for business to thrive. Insecurity, rising price of fuel, unemployment and poverty is the order of the day. There is insensitivity of the government to the plight of the masses. My mum retired since 2016, no pension or gratuity. She had been the backbone of the family before her retirement. Then we used to eat to our satisfaction, lived in a flat and attended the best schools. Going from 'grace to grass' has not been easy. It's not easy to adjust, having it all in the past.

Then, crisis in some parts of the country and uncontrolled market forces, lead to rising cost of food and feeding in general. 500 naira that would have fed me in a day, is no longer enough for just breakfast. How will people not be tempted to engage in nefarious means to take care of themselves and their family? God save our souls. Marriage and a happy ending is no longer the goal for me, but to keep surviving each day as it comes
