has gambling be of a help to the youth in your country?

[JoyMarsha]

Are you classifying the youth's involvement in gambling to be most beneficial to them for that reason? In reality of this, how many youths have gambling made millionaires through their platforms? If you can point out about a thousand of them, I will agree with your words that gambling is a help to the Nigerian youths and other youths of other countries at large.

If I am not mistaken, Nigerian youths are not the only ones who engage in gambling the most, other country's youths are as well partaking in gambling. Why haven't we heard of the news of gambling helping their youths? Why must it be only Nigerian youths?

The fact remains that gambling never help the youths of any country rather it pushes them astray in their finances because they are gambling with wrong mindset of becoming rich through gambling.

Base on the current unemployment in Nigeria the youth have taken gambling as part of a business or a work that can provide  for their need, though I have a negative perspective concerning betting but betting has been of a help to Nigerian youth based on the high rate of unemployment because it has helped them to provide their daily needs, and it has help to mitigate crime rate in the country, research has help us to know, that betting company have helped Nigerian youth to a enlarge extend. To me in my country gambling as helped the youth.

As I know, there are few countries where gambling is officially promoted as a solution to economic issues faced by the youth, due to the inherent risks associated with gambling addiction and financial instability.
But it’s crucial to note that while gambling can provide temporary financial relief for some individuals, it’s not a sustainable economic strategy for the youth or for national economies in the long term.
Sustainable economic development, job creation, and education are fundamental to addressing the economic challenges faced by the youth in any country.

First of all that is the question I asked, "has gambling be of a help to the Nigerian youth"?it was not sponsored by a gambling company, and if it was sponsored by a gambling company,how will I say,"though I have a negative perspective concerning betting".

"Risk can not be called as help.

there is risk involved in every job or business you do, so what will you call it? As say you said " Risk cannot be called as help."

In addition, the fact that there is current debate in the House of Reps that betting should be banned is a clear indication that gambling has done more harm than good to our youths. A personal survey of the activity in a betting shop reveals that everyday majority of the youths who gamble, often leave the betting shop angrily. In the same vein, if you take a colossal look at the testimonies about gambling, you will notice that 90% of the testimonies you hear are negative.

I think that there should be a call on the youths to embrace responsible gambling practices because this is the only way some of the problems associated with gambling and gambling-related crimes can be controlled.

"Gambling is based on luck, gamble for fun and gamble wisely...

For me if I'm a gambler I don't think I will gamble for fun alone, I will gamble majorly for the money and partly for fun , because I cannot be gambling for fun while others are making money out of gambling,so for that reason I will be gambling for both fun and money.

hello, what is on your mind, gambling has never helped the younger generation to develop, it has destroyed their future, in my country gambling is so illegal that many gambling sites have been closed by our ministry,
But different countries have different customs, so I think it's fine if your country has its own pride if it relies on gambling

For me it has negative effects on the youth rather than the economy itself because here in my country youth are not that capable enough financially and therefore gambling isn't an option for them. Online casino nowadays are rampant here in my country and I know know this young generations might caught the attention on this.

Since I grew up to know what gambling is all about, I've few youths that have been able to positively change their financial lives because of the win they got in gambling but I've also seen more youths whose lives have been ruined by gambling and that's why I can't say that gambling helped the youths of the country. In my own opinion, I think gambling have done more harm to the youths of this country than good and that's because the negative effects of gambling is greater than the positive effects on the teaming population of the youths. To the responsible youths that are into gambling, gambling have actually been a helpful to them but to most youths, it's gambling have been their worst nightmare

Directly gambling can never help youngsters. Because there is no specific income system. Moreover, not all young people will win in gambling. Rather, it may happen that some young people lose money after betting money. This will create a money crunch among them and at some point they will try to place more bets to recover that money. They may resort to worse methods to arrange money. So how can we consider that gambling is or is contributing to youth development? But if many people instead of being addicted to gambling turn to terrorist activities, gambling can greatly reduce that type of crime.

Here, as I see it, we can viewed gambling from two distinct perspectives: as a lucrative industry that contributes significantly to the economy through taxes and event sponsorships, including those aimed at the youth, and as a form of entertainment. However, it is not prudent to regard it as a viable solution for young people to improve their financial circumstances. While it can be a fun diversion, it's not a substitute for more sustainable financial planning and work.

I don't understand the idea that a country's unemployment problem will be eliminated through gambling, but there are thousands of other ways to eliminate unemployment, except for gambling. Moreover, a large part of a country is the youth community and from them surely a country expects a lot of good things. If the youth community of a country is like gamblingIf curses are involved then the future of that country is bleak and in no way do I believe that economic solvency will be brought about by gambling. Rather, if the government can use the manpower of the youth community well, then only the unemployment problem of a country will be eliminated as well as economic solvency will be created in that country.

First of all that is the question I asked, "has gambling be of a help to the Nigerian youth"?it was not sponsored by a gambling company, and if it was sponsored by a gambling company,how will I say,"though I have a negative perspective concerning betting".

First use quotes correctly as you're adding one extra!

Second, you did not ask a question you made a statement:

betting has been of a help to Nigerian youth based on the high rate of unemployment because it has helped them to provide their daily needs

You doubled down on that and you mentioned it as a proven fact, that's why I asked you with what statistics, research, or other paper can you back your claims, as without proof those are just claims. The part about sponsorship was about the research you would come up with, I wouldn't trust a research on health backed by a tobacco company, I woundn't trust a research on electric cars backed by Tesla and I wouldn't trust a research about gambling that was paid by a casino!

So again, what proof do you have for your OP statement?
