Gambling is a business and is as old as prostitution! So why the fused? Gambling exist in other countries before it came to naija n the rise of gsm in the country made it grow more. Its a business which is risky..while some lose, some still gain from it. Engage the youths in meaningful activities and they will less visit the betting shops! |

Hahahahahaha,all this talk about betting being an epidemic only comes from weak people and losers who are always afraid to DARE themselves and the odd thing is that this same pathetic losers are worshippers of the western world and values where betting is way more practiced and worshipped but this same losers dare not complain about it over there. |

I love this exposé on gambling. It is becoming a serious epidemic. Not only young people but also the older generation, all and sundry, have become caught up. When you see a woman in her 50s or 60s returning home with her daughter's kids stopping by to play 'baba ijebu', you get a hint at what the economy portends for the future of the country. The bookies take advantage of the economic crunch to 'cash out,' as they would say. Slowly, we encourage vices into the society (even yahoo-yahoo has become a norm, a type of 'hustle) All this is a result of a failed economy/state. |
