"For awhile now, I have been concerned and agonized about the growing trend of teens and adolescents patronizing the various betting outlets. While I am not against the business idea; in my opinion I refute betting for children for what it's worth or whatever extant laws (I am not a lawyer) if there be that guides on this for children and consequently, I think we need to react for the sake of our children.
It's not only appalling and
perilous but unhealthy for our children as it where to start tolling
this path at this early stage of their lives. I have a wireless
broadcast in my neighbourhood and the manner with which these children
flock around the signal point like bees on honey is disheartening
especially when most of them can't even make a complete sentence. It's
yet worse given that the proceeds or "wins" are used for beer drinking,
indiscriminate dressing and all manner; at point I asked myself: are my
the one "old school" or not contemporary?
Penultimate
weekend, a neighbour's son in JSS1 won N25,000 and last week another
N15000 it was all for beer drinking/pepper souping around the corner and
I wept.
