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

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

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

(2) Greed

As we watch the flamboyant lifestyle of celebrities, we become tempted to make it quick. I remember when I was just 16, as a young teacher, 6000 naira was enough to take care of myself then in 2008. Now, exposed to gambling and the possibility of making it quick, nothing is ever enough again. Assiduousness is being sacrificed for mediocrity and mischief for quick money. Assuming I even use whatever I make to eat, fvck girls and buy clothes, it would have been good. Unfortunately, I blow all on bet9ja Virtual. After contribution from my ex classmates, I was able to go back to the university and completed my education in 2019 with a 2.1. August this year, thanks to my dad,I secured a marketing job with a first generation bank. I earn 45,000 naira (yet not satisfied). My dad and mum pleaded when I started to let go of the past and manage with my present pay. Oh! Had I listened! Now, I have piled up more debts at my new location. More than half of my salary monthly is being used to pay up debts at my present location where I owe roughly 400k (to customers who trusted me with their money and online loan apps). From time to time, I think of beating the camera and security system to steal from the bank. Only God knows what the outcome will be when caught

(1) western influence

Gone are the times when children remain naive and innocent till a certain age before they become exposed to some certain habits. Now, as early as 13 years, boys and girls long to belong to the 'big boys league'. Exposure to explicit acts on TV has not been to our adventure. Young girls now patronise men at a teenage age in order to get expensive things those from rich homes have. Unwanted pregnancy comes as a result. Some of which leads to ladies death while aborting or damaged womb. Some are victims of ritualists. The guys are not left out. We are mainly on the receiving end. Peer pressure and the need to impress make us engage in many vices. Some lands us in jail or lynching.hard drugs, pilfering, gambling, alcoholism, smoking, cultism, philandering etc are the myriad of habits that lead men to their Waterloo.

I'm currently 29, approaching 30 years. How I have managed to survive thus far has been a miracle. My undoing has been bet9ja Virtual. I won't lie, I lost 4400 naira yesterday (part of which is for a customer). Since 2015. Without exaggerating, I may have lost up to five million since then. Jeopardising my education and trust people had on me in the process. I keep running from state to state to avoid arrest or torture. I currently owe roughly 525,000 to past and current employers/debtors (excluding 250,000 naira loan of CBN last year)

The world we live in now is so polluted that any one birthed in this epoch, will only bring misery to their family. I have tried to control myself but it's not working. I am fluent in speech, compassionate to an extent and diligent. However, my adverse behaviour envelopes whatever good is in me. So also it is for other youths of today, wasting away at their parents house, in jail or in the grave. Do serious thanksgiving if one or two children turn out good from the lot. Below are some of the factors affecting our generation.....

chumaZ:
are you sure you are not writing from the underworld

jeez. I pray to live for a while. Even if it's five years. At times when I hear voices, I feel people have come for me. Only God can intervene in my case

Kriss216:

that's the deceptive slogan that drew my life backwards for close to six years

chatinent:
I know.

that thing is demonic. No matter the amount one holds, it goes within a short period

Hashabiah:
I'm glad you acknowledge this. In fact, gambling in general has a way of deteriorating that quality of one's finances and this is something I experienced last year when I was into fulltime betting on Sporty and 1xbet. But lo and behold , God for delivered me from it through prayers and involvement in church activities , and now I'm completely free from it

wow. Glad to hear your breakthrough story. Hopefully, this time next year I will be able to celebrate one year off the habit

Who would have thought................? Bet9ja didn't kill me as I feared it would. I am still patching my life and holding on amidst debts and threats from creditors and those I duped. If I manage to survive this, I will have a story to share with my future children unborn.


Who ever has been following my posts, please learn from it. Betting (mostly bet9ja virtual) destroys one's life and reputation

dontrulee:
You're not serious at all. If anybody gives you money right now, you'll use it to gamble. You don't deserve to be helped. Very soon, your life will be gambled. Maybe by then, you'll change

not really. My dad has calmed my spirit & helped assure some debtors.. It's one step at a time for me now
