Man loses ₦1.2 million shop and 15 industrial machines to gambling
A Nigerian man has shared his heartbreaking experience of losing his shop, valued at ₦1.2 million, along with 15 industrial machines, due to gambling.
In a viral post circulating on X, formerly Twitter, the man spoke candidly about his struggles, admitting that gambling has brought him to his lowest point in life.
Despite being a devout Muslim who understands that gambling is forbidden in Islam, he confessed that he couldn’t resist the habit. He emphasized that while he does not smoke, drink, or engage in womanizing, his addiction to gambling has cost him everything.
In his words: “I’m a Muslim, and I know the Quran very well. The Quran doesn’t support gambling—it’s bad, it’s wrong. But the only thing I do for myself is gamble.”
“I don’t drink, I don’t smoke, I don’t womanize, but I gamble. I can bet my life on gambling.”
“I had a shop worth ₦1.2 million in Garki, but gambling took it from me.”
“I had 15 machines; we were doing well. But when the money came, we went straight to Bet9ja.”
