Reno Omokri, a sociopolitical activist, has known as on President Bola Tinubu to ban all types of sports activities betting in Nigeria urgently.
Omokri mentioned inserting a ban on sports activities betting would enhance the situations of most Nigerians and make the naira develop.
Posting on X, he charged the president to authorise the Nigerian Communications Fee to ban betting functions and revoke the licences of all bodily sports activities betting operators.
Based on Omokri: “Nigeria President can instantly enhance the financial situations of most Nigerians and make the Naira develop by issuing an Govt Order authorising the Nigerian Communications Fee to ban sports activities betting apps from the App Retailer of any GSM Web Service Supplier in Nigeria and revoking the licences of any bodily sports activities betting operators in Nigeria. It makes higher sense than Buhari’s draconian #TwitterBan.
“There may be such an epidemic of playing in Nigeria and it’s destroying Nigerian youths. $1 billion is spent on playing day by day in Nigeria, in keeping with the Nationwide Lottery Belief Fund. Please fact-check me. The typical Nigerian spends $15 day by day on sports activities betting and different kinds of playing, with the overwhelming majority of that quantity leaving our financial system and going to locations like Russia, South Africa, and Europe. The Naira can by no means maintain its rally below such circumstances.
“A whole lot of the petty crime in Nigeria is brought on by youths in search of cash, by any means, to fund their playing behavior. It will be irresponsible for a first-class accountant like Tinubu to not act on such a matter as threatening to our nationwide safety as this playing epidemic.”
