Forms Of Gambling In Our Society Today by MrOlai: 11:26am On Dec 15, 2016
Gambling has taken different forms in our contemporary society today. These include:

1. MMM and other Ponzi Schemes

2. "Baba Ijebu"

3. "Who Wants to be a Millionaire"

4. Lagos Premier Lotto

5. Federal Lotto

6. NaijaBet

7. Bet 365 Naija

8. 1960 Bet

9. Bet9ja

10. Merrybet

11. Surebet247

Etc.

Allah(SWT) has warned us to against gambling. Allah(SWT) says:

"O you who believe, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah ], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful." Qur'an (5: 90-91).

So, as Muslims, we need to fear Allah(SWT) and do away with what He has asked us to do away with.

For some people, it is not poverty. It is a sheer greed.

For mmm and its like, You know, when you provide help, after a month you get 130%, the 30% is gotten from those who recently joined.
We all know Interest is forbidden in islam. ..
The Quran says:
وَلَا تَمْنُنْ تَسْتَكْثِرُ
“and bestow not favor in order to seek from others a greater return,” (Chapter
Mudatstsir:6)

Ibnu Abbass interpreted this verse:

لا تعط عطية تلتمس بها أفضل منها
’Do not give something to seek for a better return.’ (See: Tafseer al Qurthubi, 19/67).

And Interest, Riba, gambling is not allowed in islam.. We all know that.. There are lot of evidence guiding us against dis type of acts which I can't type here. I don't expect you to agree but I have to say my own.

So ogun di ogoji, riba, owo ele... Are haram ... And you know

Life itself is the biggest form of gambling... Me sleeping and waking up tomorrow isn't certain... But by telling someone... "i'll see your tomorrow..." i just staked on a certainty...

"Who Wants to be a Millionaire" is just like "Baba Ijebu".

They will collect money from millions of Nigerians, give part of the money to the supposed " winners " and they will pocket the remaining!
