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
If Betting has provided goodness to the young generation in Nigeria then continue this activity because goodness comes from wherever it comes.
Maybe it's like saying that if there is a diamond in a pool that costs 1 million dollars, but the pool contains goat dung which is very smelly, then I will take it because after I get the diamond, I can take a clean shower by going to the salon.
In the country I live in, betting is too risky to develop because it has so many negative effects and the government has tried to suppress the birth of gambling and gamblers.
As different countries have different rules, hopefully in Nigeria the presence of gambling can make the existing economy even better for the younger generation like you talked about.
