Business Daily - Nigeria’s underage gambling problem
Download Nigeria’s underage gambling problem
A boom in betting - both online and in shops - is fuelling addiction and debt among young people.
We speak to teenage gamblers, whistle-blowers, and campaigners who reveal how social media influencers and lack of regulation are driving a growing crisis in Nigeria.
If you are affected by harmful gambling or are suffering distress or despair you could speak to a health professional, or an organisation that offers support. Details of help available for despair in some countries can be found at Befrienders Worldwide (www.befrienders.org)
