I hope you know the same betting companies have a large number of staff. Now, you wanna make people unemployed ( remember those staff have families and favorite vendors)

Once they lose their jobs, millions of people would result to something else.

Remember: If you kill all the whole cats in the universe, rats will infiltrate the whole world. Apply that intelligence.

It everywhere brother.nah mushin you see u dey complain,what about those who are using their phone for betting without stressing themselves low-key.in like aviator,pastors playing it low key,Alfa ,imman playing it low key.babalawos playing low key I know some lecturers who do play it.even those celebrities you are seen or read about play it..even we the readers on nairaland play it...
Seyi Tinubu with lege Miami play it..
Very true what you wrote up there.

Sometimes in 2018/2019, my son came home from Boarding School for the Holidays and as usual we will talk about his experiences, challenges and stuff.

Then he said Daddy, please don't tell my School Guardian o, I said no Problem. He told me that virtually all the boys in his hostel are into Betting and I was like how do they go outside of the School to place the bets? Because I know that the School is very strict with students movement while in school, they are always on lockdown.

He shocked me with his reply. He said the Hostel Masters and some Teachers usually assist with Bet placing and they share a % in the winnings if there is any!

I told him that I will inform their Year Tutor about it and he begged me not to because, if others find out he was the one that reported, they might harm!

I Just told him not to indulge in it and that it ruins life.

You are not blaming bad governance. Can't u see that as poverty increases addictions to betting and bad leaders also increases?

Mushin, Ojuelegba, Surulere, Ijesha, Lawanson, Ajegunle, Okokomaiko, Amukoko, etc

These areas have been eaten up by betting addictions

Quit betting today, save what's remain of your life before it gets too late

One of jay-jay okocha's legacy is gambling. He owns one of this betting enterprise.
Choi see wetin dem write about Jay-jay okocha lol

I feel sad for him. As per someone that came up from nothing, i am not saying owning a legal gambling business is bad but It is unfortunate that for someone lie him (from nothing to something), it is selling this mental harddrug to young Nigerians is what he is best known for.

Gambling is the shortest route to penury and psychological damage.
Yeah very true.... But it's only on very very rear occasion I have seen gamblers with very good cognitive levels.... I was part of the assessment team, when I was at the DIA back then when we assessed 3 applicants... Their background checks was ridden with gambling but not chronic.... They were absorbed into the service because they passed every stage... Till this day I am still amazed how those applicants were able to compartmentalize their mind.... Which is a major traits one must have to engage the services.

It's just a sad situation all round. You see poeple with long slips of papers, hoping to buy a Lamborghini, next thing you hear is "one cut", and the cycle repeats.

Betting is crazy.
Unfortunately, that's one of the things that keeps young men in perpetual poverty.
People especially Africans love game and gamble a lot and that is why anything gamble is usually selling so fast.

Well said,but there are still ways to make good money from sports betting if you are not greedy and are disciplined. unfortunately more than 90% of bettors lack focus and will continue to lose their hard earned money.
I get a steady 70 to 120k profit on 100k capital monthly using a very simple technique, single game of just 1 4 or 1 5 odds daily.
it's not about the long slip of 20games that will provide that income but a steady long term strategy that works if you have the patience to run with it.
