A tragic incident unfolded when the last chat of a Nigerian man, Onoh Chukwuka Richard, surfaced after he allegedly lost his life following a reported loss of N2.5 million to gambling.
Richard, hailing from Arochukwu Local Government Area in Abia State, was said to have tragically ended his life recently.
In a WhatsApp conversation with his friend, Chief Steven Ukpabi, Richard revealed his descent into chronic gambling, citing unemployment and the scarcity of job opportunities as contributing factors.
He expressed deep concern over his inability to repay a debt of 1.2 million naira, which he had borrowed for an unsuccessful bet.
In his words;
“The only option is to 3nd my life as I can not live with the shame
His Excellency Sir. Pls come to my rescue. I have turned into a gambler because of no job and right now, I am at a point if I don’t redeem my debt, I might kill myself to pay the debt. I used 2,500,000 to place a bet and 1.2m is not my own and if I don’t pay up today. I will be dead by the time you read this message. As I type this message, I am where I want to buy snippper.”

This guy is very stupid how can you use such amount of money play bet?why some people no even get sense at all,you no fit use the money go start up something
Though it is saddened, what Nigeria and her government have turned the country into, but it’s not a yardstick for one to misbehave.
Being jobless doesn’t permit one to go into gambling. There jobs you can do without white collar job to help yourself.
The source always dictates how to spend.No sweat easy to waste
How did he raise the money in the first place, how are you sure is not a robber? How will reasonable per waste money on gambling?
What a pity! If he engaged the same energy he displayed in gambling into something else,the story would’ve been different. It’s more like the quest to get rich quickly, rather harsh economic condition that pushes people into gambling. While few succeeds, majority end up this way. RIP!
I advise people that beting is not a way to earn money is way lost all your money if doubt me try it and see for yourself
Committing suicide is not an option neither a solution to it, cuz it’s written under the gambling platform that any money you cannot loose dont use it for gamble cuz it a risk
May God forgive all his short comings an grant him heaven, let this serve as a leason to all
Think twice gambling is not easy as you thing rather to invest two millions on business
May God forgive you all your short coming brother but not an excuse to gamble with some of 2.5 million naira
But for me I think commiting suicide did not supposed to be next option
