[Fivestar4everMVP]

It's really a shame, this is really one of those sad stories that really tell the dark side of sports betting and gambling in general, I could not help it, but had tears rolling down my cheek while reading this story..

Another future father, a future millionaire maybe, young 22 year old boy with a promising future lost to suicide after losing his school fees, and that of his friend to sport betting due to gambling addiction..

We are in the 21st century, until when before people realize that suicide does not put an end to problem, but rather create more for those living??

This is really a sad story though, ya all can read it on https://punchng.com/how-ogun-student-committed-suicide-after-losing-school-fees-to-sports-betting/?utm_source=telegram&utm_medium=social

I hope we all as gamblers learn a thing or two from this, and go back and look at our gambling life and see if there is a thing or two that needs to be adjusted..
I pray non of us, and any of our relative shall ever be a victim of such a sad story 😢😢.

So sorry to the family of the victim. It is sad to see this.

Some people do not think about the consequences of using high amount of money on gambling, but when they lose the huge amount of money, they will be depressed and some people will feel like killing themselves. He is young, but he supposed to have faced what comes after and change for good. If there is life there is hope.

Supposing he knows about this forum, maybe he would have learned some lessons from what we are posting.

it is the duty of parents, teachers, and also the community to continue to monitor the small changes that occur in children, moreover, their mentality is still not stable. usually, suicide is done by people who want attention and are confused about the best way for them to solve the problems they are facing right now.

when the child dies due to suicide, the mental pressure that the parents will receive is enormous, because it is not easy to raise a child from a young age with great affection.

for the parents out there, keep an eye on your children, keep an eye on their association from gambling and free sex under age, and don't just be busy working, because children are a responsibility that God has given us.

I think I have read this news online before; something about a unversity student drinking sniper (an insecticide) although I can't recall everything that happened.

The rate at which people are becoming addicted to gambling is now alarming, msot especially youngsters that are still finding it difficult to anything in life without them being emotional about it. Most of tehm prbably read somewhere online or saw it in the news about how someone was lucky enough to have won a huge amount of money just by betting his cents and then they decide to try their luck but instead of them to win or atleast enjoy their section at the casino they start chasing losses and when they run out of their personal money they might start using money meant for other things ( like in the case of Op).

I hope we all as gamblers learn a thing or two from this, and go back and look at our gambling life and see if there is a thing or two that needs to be adjusted..

I think this is a great idea, once in a while we need to sit back and look at how we have being handling our gambling life if the are things that we are currently doing that will affect our lives and sometimes we do somethings thinking it's what everyne does not knowing that it might cause an effect that's different entirely from what it did to others, after not everyone can handle things the same way. don't forget to always "play safe"
All I can say at this point is: May His Soul Rest In Peace.

I know that this is very painful, but there is nothing we can do other than advise ourselves and those closest to us so that we can always avoid gambling addiction in any way and at least be able to educate them more about how dangerous the effects of addiction are. People whose thoughts are deadlocked with hope and feel that everything is finished, that is where our role is, if indeed there is someone closest to experiencing a problem like this, we must be able to become advisors. So in gambling, everyone returns to themselves, they must be able to emphasize the mentality that gambling is just a game, nothing more than that.

I'm really sorry to hear about such a sad story. Yes, the consequences of gambling addiction can be devastating, affecting not only the individual but also those around them. It's sad that some individuals who find themselves in such a desperate situation often struggle to reach out for support or confide in their loved ones. They may isolate themselves, feeling trapped and hopeless.

How can we as a society create a more supportive environment for individuals struggling with gambling addiction? How can we encourage a more responsible gambling culture that emphasizes moderation and healthy boundaries? These are the questions we really need to answer if we want to avoid or at least lower the chances of these sad stories happening again in the future.

unfortunately there are some strict rules that must never be crossed. in ANY case.

- you should never entrust your money to anyone (obviously I am referring to those cases in which there is no legal contract/obligation).
- never bet money that you cannot lose.
- you should always play for fun and not to "get rich".
- one can be happy and live very well even "without money". anything can always be fixed, except death

[tusandii]

This is why it is recommended to keep gambling away from childhood or youth because it can have quite a big negative impact.
He is a teenager who is addicted to gambling during his productive years as a teenager.
He has a high level of curiosity so he doesn't think long about using his school fees money as betting capital.
It's a shame that this kind of thing happens and this is a meaningful lesson for all of us so we can better educate our children or other family members to avoid gambling.

I know gambling is a choice but if you can't control or respond to gambling properly then it will only have a bad impact on life.
Hopefully in the future there will be no more cases like this.

[bittraffic]

Such tragic. Sure it was scary to face angry parents at one point in our lives but eventually I get used ot it after series of bad choices I made in my entire life. One thing is for sure. I would rather see my parents get furious as hell than them crying over my corpse. Not a single time did I think of killing myself. Generation today are just too soft.

The kid though is in serious trouble. Spending the money of someone after losing all his school fee, addiction got him too deep. The quite type person somehow talks to himself all the time but the inner voice didn't help save his life.

Rest in Peace.

This is one of the saddest stories I have ever read. How much was his school bills? A few ten K's? A hundred k? He could have made x10 more than that even without a college degree. All he had to do was to work hard. I have friends started with nothing in the US and become multi millionaires in less than 10 years. They all had good professions though some of them didn't have any college degrees. Since this student was 22 y.o., he could have learned another profession without the help of the college and still make big bucks... Shame.

Completely agree with your last statement which states that anything can be fixed except death, there are really a time when I get trapped in situations where it seems like we will never get out from, but if we can just be patient and wait a little longer, a way to come out of such situation will always be made available to us, but unfortunately, some people out of impatience dabble or end up with decisions they or those around them regret for live.

And on never entrusting your money to anyone, this is another good advice, though In the story, the friend to the suicide victim didn't entrust the money to him, it was the suicide victim who collected his friend's phone, then withdrew money meant for the school fees and used it to bet, which he also lost, the friend did not know that the suicide victim had withdrawn his school fees and used it for betting, until he was told.

[Docnaster]

In as much as we preach against gambling addiction, we should also endeavour to enlightenour children and the young ones that there is no reason whatsoever to take their lives. We should make them understand how important their life is.
His school fees and that of his friend is not worth his life. If he had had good conversation with some moralists, he would have come out of this shame.
By now, I believe his friend would not even be happy seeing him die. He would rather choose to drop out of school than to lose a friend because of a lost school fees. Children need close mentoring and counseling in order not to deviate from normal.

Thank you, OP for sharing. Bad news to the parents because they are going through great pain. Losing an undergraduate son in his harsh economic condition is extremely sad. All the investment in their son is a waste because of his gambling addiction. The student is 22 years old so we should write off underage gambling because the adult age in Nigeria is 18+. I would have suggested that all dependents especially students should be restricted from gambling but some students gamble responsibly so the best idea will be public enlightenment and awareness about the dangers of gambling addiction. People suffering from gambling disorder should be given free counsel and medical help because many people cannot afford to pay for these services. Let people know that there is a need to have a gambling plan that should guide their gambling life and let people suffering from gambling addiction receive help.

It's so heartbreaking to read news like this. Perhaps it's been too much heavy for him to take that's why he resorted to suicide. Condolences to the family.

We've talked about the numerous possible effects of gambling in one's life. This is included to those negative impacts people has to go through because they can't take the consequences of gambling anymore. We lose valuable life just because of lack of discipline. It might sound insensitive, but we have to keep reminding people to always think a hundred times before gambling. It might not be for you especially if you know it to yourself that you lack self-control. It might do more harm than good, hence, try to assess yourself first if you can handle the pressure and the temptation. If not, better find another recreational activity wherein you can release your stress and have fun, and try finding another source of income that has lesser risk if you want to gamble just for profit. Because frankly speaking, there's no guaranteed winning in gambling. Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win. It all depends whether you are lucky enough or skilled enough. So always bet what you can only afford to lose.

Mourning reading this news, I am sure this will be a lesson for all gamblers in this forum not to end my life just because of losing gambling, to be honest I also ever used to use school fees for betting but I never Thinking to end my life at that time, I looked for a replacement money by working part -time.

Everything returns to ourselves, but as we know that being a addict is difficult to recover if it does not come from himself, there are many ways to recover but I am sure it is difficult to cure addicts without the help of the addict himself to recover, but this news must be a concern to everyone in this forum so as not to end life to solve problems.  

[electronicash]

if you read thru the article, he did gamble his friend's money and lost. certainly this is gambling addiction. sad to see fellow sports gambler can decide to end his life all because he lost money of someone.

i think he is afraid of his father knowing what he'd done. so he ended his life.

[ultrloa]

This shows that excessive or being a hardcore gambler cannot result to any positive to anyone. And lets think more upon using our money since if we allocate it for other important matters we should not use this since for sure we will encounter big stress that we can't even handle. Much better if we take all easy and gamble for fun since this will take us away on thoughts that to gamble more because we know our priorities.

Some people are more suicidal than others, they can easily consider and accept taking their own lives when they meet situations that they see no way out of. This individual would have been heavily indebted other this new debt that has accumulated from this loss, he was tempted by the high odds and idea that they games he was betting on were sure games. It is a sad story really and one of those cases where a gambler allows gambling to control them to the extent that they make bad decisions.

Also if you want to gamble, gamble with your own money. Anytime you begin to consider gambling with another person's money, know ymthat you are already getting out of line.

Young people can't handle their emotion that much, and that is not advisable for them to expose into gambling.
We have to protect our Childs and friends from getting trouble with gambling, if you know someone who are into gambling at a very young age better to educate them and force them to stop gambling. This is one of the saddest part of gambling aside from losing, addiction can still be cured but its better if you can prevent yourself from drowning into this kind of situation, guide someone you know who are into gambling addiction already, they needed you.

Aside from that there is already an earlier history that the late guy was gambling his tuition fee, its that, his parents replace the lost money on gambling and enable him to continue with his test.  It happen possibly in the first year of the deceased guy since he is in his 2nd year when he bet and lost his tuition fee and his friend's.  That maybe the case but he has done that already once and is able to do it again before he commits suicide, worst even stealing his friend's money and losing it in sports betting. This is clearly a sign of gambling addiction, I wonder why his parents are unable to detect it the first time their son gamble money for tuition fee.

I feel sorry for the parents who are striving hard to give their children a chance to study and prepare for their future but the kids never appreciate it and do things that will give their parents problems.

May this incident serve as a lesson to us and let us all be careful and make sure that we are in the driver's seat while engaging in gambling activities.
