You may have to add binary options as well. Let's keep the business section clear for real business which pays as a result of effort and hard work put in. Not all these kalo kalo gambling enterprises.

And how is that anyone's problem? Sports betting and forex trading aint fraudulent activities, they are legal means of making money. Every business has its risk, though the aforementioned might be on the high, the individuals taking part in it should be left to take that decision. Nigerians and their way of tagging someone as an unbeliever cos you dont believe in what they believe in.

Dear Nairalanders,

We are thinking of completely banning the promotion of forex trading and sports betting on Nairaland.

Forex day-trading and sports betting are fundamentally fraudulent because they're promoted as a quick way of making money whereas due to mathematical facts, the only people who make money are the middlemen and marketers. The "investors" almost always lose their money.

In our experience, it's not enough to warn Nairaland members about the dangers of forex day-trading and sports betting. The promise of quick profit is just too much for thousands of vulnerable Nairaland members to resist. The only way to protect them is complete censorship.

We believe that the complete ban of such content will make Nairaland a better platform for discussing legitimate entrepreneurship and finance.

What do you think? Please click 'like' if you like the idea; thanks.

I agree.

Sports betting should be banned.

The gambling sector in nigeria is highly unregulated and betting is fast becoming a dangerous trend in nigeria.

Besides, none of the major religions support gambling. Gambling is a sin.

Seun, I completely agree. Ban both forex trading and sports betting.

Good day admin, am a forex trader , full time trader and I have never advertised what I do in your platform. The truth is that one can genuinely make money from Forex trading but ONLY few are that lucky. I won't say you should totally ban forex trading ,I don't know about sport but rather , if anyone needs to post anything about forex,you can go to the extent of verifying them with proof. That several people have been scammed does not mean no one has been positively touched or affected. I am the admin of itradeforex group on Facebook and I am a full time trader with consistent profit but truth be told, many traders are scammers. To cut my story short, I would suggest you verify members who may want to post anything related to forex on your platform not the total ban. Do you want to say there are no other avenue through which people have been scammed here aside forex? Obviously No. Please censor it but do not ban it outrightly. Thanks

so how is it cool then .... Blowing hot and cold on the same issue

Dear Seun,

I believe that anybody that engage in Forex or game betting is up to the age of accountability and can be able to take a good decision for his or herself.

Kindly note that Forex and game betting are legitimate business as such banning it on your forum will not be a wise idea.

My 2 cents.
