You are right but we are talking about a greater percentage of people involved. Many wouldn't have if they were working.

That doesn't mean those who wants to be addicted wouldn't be. Like me, I work, I bet too, but cos of my schedule I hardly visit the bet shop. I do my things online. But u see,

So employ the youths, over 70% of those guys in that shop won't be there again. That's what I mean.

leave that talk, those guys there even look like students sef, check them well, there is no middle aged man there.
Some of them come night class and slept there.

Joy2dworldxyz:
See, once you are actively engaged, betting is the least thing u want to be addicted to...

Just imagine the situation of those guys, who is working and have time to go stay in a bet shop from morning till midnight to the point of sleeping over....

They never wished for that...

Oga, betting is a choice.
I know of a guy who has a Barber shop, but you will hardly see him in his shop, he is always in a bet shop, isn't such a person actively engaged? Some students who still received money from their parents are always in a bet shop, some of these students even bet their school fees. Betting has nothing to do with actively engaged

Joy2dworldxyz:
Your government ruined the destinies of millions of youths in this country. It's a fact u can't deny except you are blind

my govt?
Yes the Nigerian govt destroyed most youths dreams but betting was never the way out.

Martinsmine:
I swear.. Nigerian govt dey fear this guy I no no y

Nigerian govt fear Ekpa?
Lolz, even Kanu that did major damage and had a lot of supporters than Ekpa could dream of was caged by the govt.

Ekpa time never reach, those that are begging Tinubu to release Kanu should beg Ekpa to stop his nonsense. No be after Nigerian govt arrest am, his families will come out and beg

Joy2dworldxyz:
We are not talking about when betting came, we are talking about when the youths of this country had no more hope on the government. We are talking about when they had to go to the bet shop from early morning and stay toll following morning.
We are talking about when betting became the last hope of our youths......

I hope u now understand what we are talking about

bEtting didn't become the last hope of the youths, it's the last hope of directionless people. Betting is not particular to Nigeria alone, Casino Hall's in other countries makes in millions of dollars daily from fools too.
If betting is your last hope, u are just a fool, don't blame the govt

Proof that he has been disturbing you, or idonbilivit

Segxydube:
Where is the work?

wtf.
Those doing POS are they not working? Those producing liquid soap are also working, those cooking and selling are also working

Joy2dworldxyz:
It started some 9 years ago when Tinubu imposed a demonic party called APC on Nigeria.....

betting came during the time of goodluck. Merrybet was reigning then

In a sane environment, bad times don't last, but in Nigeria na forever

Oga i ask you a simple question, when YOU are tired & stressed at night do you just sleep anywhere cos you are tired

Can anyone with a foam, pillow nd a room he pays the rent leave all that n sleep on the bare floor, lemme engage your thinking process,
So over 10 random people meet at the bet shop all got tired at the same time and decided to sleep on bare floor same time .. coincident bah
The shop owner realizing dirty boiz choking the space with body odour just allow them sleep just like that, as father theresa ninu ghetto dey play

Even people that drink to stupor, will try to get home haba ! ova 10 random people just find a "reason" to sleep on the floor ... afi coincidence

if people can leave their houses and sleep in a bar, if people can leave their houses and sleep in a brothel, why won't these ones sleep in a bet shop.
You are underestimating the power behind addiction

chidiokay:
Tell me about it, i grew up in the ghetto and never the omo get inside, so i can relate with anything "street"
In my previous comment i kept re-emphazing "Day" and now that we are in the same book as "Night" lets me correct something when boiz play bet n get tired dey go back to there various abode to sleep
that they could spread in the number nd sleeps tells me, there is a prior arrangement btween the shop owner nd those homeless boiz to use that place as shelter at night

it is you that care about body odor n what not, in the ghetto owo ni koko, any problem can be converted to a source of income asap, if you can't jump gutter there are boiz ready to carry you nd collect money.

How can people who have bed, fan nd a room leave all that to go n sleep on a bear tiles, can you do it because you are tired or your house is far so you just sleep on the floor

wehdone sir

Those guys may not be homeless Oga.
The fact that you can't think of any other thing than homelessness baffles me.
While they could be homeless, there could also be a chance that those guys have homes but decide to sleep there for another reason

Villa12:
Tell me where someone that cannot feed should get land and capital to farm. I know you're government advocate so tell us

You think these days people need to have land and capital before they farm?
You are living in Pluto.
My friend back then used his own room to start rearing his fish

Mandate1:
you dint look for job cos you had a reasonable capital set aside for you. Either by parent or other means. Blv me, not many have that little capital to boost them.

lolz, nobody gave me capital, I worked my ass out, I did extra classes during my NYSC, I sold egg roll as a corp member and raised my first capital.
But guess what? I lost everything to a bad business deal, I got frustrated but learnt my lessons, I started from scratch again, selling kerosene in bottles, took me three years to raise another capital.
One naira I no see from friends and families

Villa12:
did you give them any land to farm on? Where would they get capital to plant vegetables, cassava or maize? Did your government provide soft loan on that aspect? Nigerians now struggle to feed so i don't know where they'd get the means to farm, expecially those that do not have lands

very good, I love this ur mentality, just wait for the govt to give you land and loans.

Crafteck1:
Living hand to mouth is what you want men to be satisfied with?

Sylvester stallion started from there, Opray Winfrey also started from there.
Infact their own is worse that hand to mouth

Mandate1:
so everyone must go into POS business? Morever, whr fo you get the immediate capital to start the POS business? You're really underestimating the poverty level in Nigeria.

I am not, I am a graduate who didn't even look for a job, I had my own fair share of hardship, regrets, failures and setbacks. But I was able to navigate through the storm all by myself, only thing I did was to set a realistic goals and always work towards it. A man with goals won't spent his penny on bet

Mandate1:
even Americans after graduating seek for job. Before you can create your personal Biz, you need a touch of tutoring, and this you can only get by working for someone. How many graduates can boast of 1m after university education? Whr will dey get the needed fund to start a Biz?

The world has moved past that stage where u have to work for someone before u stand.
Graduates are into POS, graphic designers, buying and selling of footwear's and cloths, some are caterers

chidiokay:
Its shocking a lot of people that have commented on these pictures are not thoughtful enough
I have entered betting shops and at some point own one, never seen anything like that, the question to unravel the picture

a. will shop owner allow boiz sleep like that during business hour ..i.e day time

b. Is it possible to see over 10 youths sleep during the day in one place

My guess is that the shop owner outsource that place as a "Shelter" to street boiz to lay there heads at night, might be free or they pay a token

its goes beyond betting spirit or whatever ... apparently those are homeless boiz

that's how u unravel the thing.
There are places in this country that is bustling even at night, the betshop could be stationed in such a place, these guys could play bet, got tired and sleep.
I don't know any business owner that will allow homeless people to sleep in his shop, that place will stink of body odour and littered with dirt's that it will kill his business. These are not homeless people

Mandate1:
how do you conclude they don't want to work? When you visit places like des, always enquire from them why they are wasting away. Any betshop you visit, 50% of the customer's there are unemployed graduates tired of submitting CV's. You can make your findings if you will.

the essence of graduating is not to see a job.
They are lost because they felt they are entitled to a job just because they went to school.

Mandate1:
blv me idleness leads to this. A fully engaged person won't even have time to check phone, talk more of betting. I once used to be a lover of football bets, not this type óò, but as soon as I bcam fully engaged, this menace stopped. Get the youths fully engaged and they won't have time for exuberances like this. It's partly their fault, but sincerely govt needs to do more.

Oga don't blame govt.
We know the effect of bad governance when we see one.
These are people that doesn't want to work but wants to make money

Don't blame hardship, this is not the effect of bad govt, a graduate Hawking water is effect of bad govt, not this one.
These are people that doesn't want to work yet wants to make money, and they don't want to start small and grow, they want to turn their 100 naira to 15k in 90mins. Some of them even have small businesses that fetch them little money, but after the day's work, this is where they spend the money.

Omuuvwie:
That is just the honest truth so that our naira can continue to appreciate against the US dollars, but then our local manufacturer too should give us quality products so that we can continue to patronize them, lastly the 75b should not be giving to family member or it should not be an audio.

This is not about quality yet, when China started the produce phones that are below what others make, but we patronize them and they dump their products in Africa.
Today look at china

There is always light at the end of a dark path, if you survive the dark and painful journey, you will find light at the end.
If you like go look for torch.

Most times guys do nothing but create hundreds of threads about women.

Get a life bro

alimiadedayo1:
google is your source or a fake source where google brings the traffic for you

you can check Nigeria's official import/export window.

If you don't know the website, check on Google and Google will direct you to it, except you think Nigeria's official I/E site is fake, then I have no need arguing with you

alimiadedayo1:
can you say that again we export more than we import? hope you are okay sha

you should check Nigeria import and export on Google.

Stop believing all these lies they tell you, Nigeria actually export more than they import.

Nahunger:

So inside Tunnel wey people need light 🕯️ to see road you off am, go put am for the end of the tunnel 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

he is saying, you should survive the tunnel first, and u will see light at the end.

Ofunaofu:
When the Naira was crashing against the dollar at an alarming rate, we were told by this government and their supporters that the Naira was finding its true value.

So what's happening? Is the naira appreciating to its true value now?

All this propaganda being dished out won't help this government; rather, it will destroy it.

Which one is subsidizing the naira? Every country defends its currency.

calm down, Binance was also playing it's part against the naira.

One thing is for sure, subsiding the naira is not good for the country, u can imagine some companies sell their products in dollars while operating in Nigeria, that is because they aren't sure about the value of the naira.
If we are going to be economically strong, we have to make these investors have faith in our currency.

vowiski:
These are cosmetic changes, Naira will depreciate back..

Until we reduce importation…

Paying FX backlogs will always clog back.. If steps are not taken to. Especially grow what we eat..

we actually export more than what we import, the naira depreciation comes from floating the naira, money was spent heavily to subsidize the naira.
Secondly those binance dealt with the naira and depreciated it daily.

Whatever you see is the true value of Naira and only when investors knows the true value of your money, will they buy things from you, you can imagine some companies in the country sell their products and services with dollars instead of the naira, this is because the naira is sugarcoated with subsidy, now they can sell their goods and be sure they are getting the actual price.

Subsiding everything in this country was the worst decision our leaders made, I pray they get it right this time

Ofunaofu:
The way you guys shower praise on these individuals makes me wonder.

How do you measure performance and growth?

How much was Naira exchanging for a dollar when Tinubu took the oath of office?

How much is it exchanging today?

Nigerians can only take these people seriously when the naira begins to appreciate below the #700 to a dollar when Tinubu took over. Not crashing the Naira to over #1900 to a dollar with its attendant negative economic impact, then begin to appreciate it to where it is today, and you are rolling out the drums, praising the same people who made the Naira worthless. 

Right now, you are blaming the marketers and importers, accusing them of being greedy. Who provided them that opportunity? Tinubu, through his thoughtless economic policies

You should rather ask how much was spent to keep the naira at 750.

Truth is that, we can't subsidize the naira for a long time.

Buhari was a total disaster, he can never win Tinubu.
Tinubu is not clueless, Buhari was

I also wish I was born to a wealthy family, you are not greedy. we all wished that.
