Inter-house sports are intended to promote sports development and instill a sports culture in students, but during this inter-house sports festival, some students who were not particularly good at studying excelled.

I did not participate much in inter-house sports, but I was one of the cheerleaders. Personally, I did not participate in any form of gambling, but I did notice some senior students betting on participants during inter-house sports.

I was shocked today. While I was going to work this morning I saw students training and preparing for inter house sports. I haven't seen them for a while and I was amazed to learn that inter house sports is still very common among secondary schools. When I saw them I remembered old good days. I was an excellent High jumper but that's a story for some other day

What you have been done, that should be do by everyone because not all people will have chance or have the ability to play together in the field, there will be Limited student chosen for the squad but that doesn't mean those who are not in the squad they should to bet or gambling on the inter house Sports.
Actually, I don't have any problem if there can a for the money and as well they are the adult people to gamble. But it is not then that will definitely be and negative sign. By the way I have also done many time as a role of cheerleaders .

Growing up I was exceptional when it comes to high jump, for those who doesn't know what inter house sports means. In secondary and primary schools in Nigeria those days, all the students are grouped into different houses, the houses are usually named after colours or prominent individuals within the community. You can have white House, red house or even Bola Ahmed Tinubu house. These houses are made to compete among themselves in short put, high and long jump, 100meter races and so on.

Gambling did not start today, those days we will stake our launch on individuals we think are the best in the various segments of the compitition. You can then stake on the representative of the white House to win and if he doesn't your lauch is gone. Is inter house sports still in Nigeria schools?

Inter house sports competition is still going on in Nigeria till date. nowadays it's not just within a particular school, sometimes the sports competition is between different schools. And it really fun to watch but sometimes it leads to misunderstanding/dispute between some people. The part or house that loss will be thinking that justice was not serve, and it lead to accusations of unfairness and the  houses that win will be opposing them. The situation gets more worst when people bet because they have something to gain or to lose, so in that case they might argue or disagree more easily.
