The Senate Committee on Youths and Sports on Tuesday threatened to ask the National Lottery Commission to seal the offices of a betting firm, Bet9ja, if the company fails to honour its invitation the second time.
The committee’s chairman, Obinna Ogba, said this during the verification of Lotto companies operating in Nigeria.READ ALSO: While asking the clerk to invite the firm again, the senator declared, “If they did not honour our invitation again, we will ask the National Lottery Commission to seal their offices.”
He said the verification was organised following a series of complaints against betting firms in the country. He noted that while some do not have offices, some others have not been making remittances to the government.Receive Alerts on:
These idle senators are just chasing shadow. They want to collect bribe from bet9ja. How many of these senators has employment capacity for Nigerians as provided by bet9ja. These rogues would be stoned in their respective senatorial districts by the beneficiaries of bet9ja.
Idiots instead of them to focus on what is on ground
Pls do its contributing to the the laziness of our youths.
Tell them my ticket is still running
Lol That's the only youth empowerment program in Nigeria 😁😁😂😁😂
They should first change DStv to pay as you go tariff which is how it is in other countries. Then come back for us to discuss this one.
Is it not better than looting the treasury with their big fat allowances and salaries they earn while the masses feed from hand to mouth? Useless things, they won’t use their heads to think something impactful to make lives better, seal bet9ja now and let’s see how economy grows
I don't know they should close it oh cause it not helping
They are playing with fire
Why?
How would you free a snake and kill millipede. That is corruption.
Will sealing bet9ja bring the end of corruption in Nigeria? What a barbaric
Misplaced priorities
From demolishing the Lounge the prostitutes were arrested in Abuja to closing down Bet9ja I smell witch hunt
F***ing clowns.. These guys are not engaged at all. Just go to sleep and wake up trying to implement whatever comes 2mind.
Ok
If you agree that Bet9ja offices should be seal Say Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii If you against say Nilllllllllllllll

Federal government please this is the only living means for Nigerian youth who are lazy 😢😢😢
So make all youths enter yahoo fully abi? What a country
Lack of focus and gross ignorance is what I call this.
Is bet9ja the only betting company? Why are they afraid of appearing before the house? Always read the story before making your comments rather headline.
This one go bring war ohh.. This men are enemies of progress. when they can't provide jobs for the youths and the youths are using this small way to get money, still it is a problem for them. Nawa ohhh
We gon riot walayi. Ori ya yin
Jobless fellas!!

Hmmmm why is are these people stupid is it because they are not seeing money again. Hav they gone broke the Senate should stay away from things that keep Nigerians busy they should work on the security of these country there very stupid and greedy ,foools ,basters
Na Government dy pay Bet9ja?
Try it and make Nigeria a living hell.. Not a threat but a reality because crime is going to multiply by 100% especially Kidnapping.. Lots of folks are feeding their family from these stuff..
May dem no reason am ooo... Na trouble dem dey fine
Then be fully prepared to face highest rate of crime in this era of joblessness.. If you want to seal it, firstly provide jobssssssss..
MisturBets I won’t be surprise if this brings the revolution that we have been praying for because boys go riot
That is good
They can't, people wey dey play 2 sure odds with better money
They shud threaten proposing & passing a bill that will criminalize budget padding, diversion of constituency projects funds & collection of bribes from companies, making it a Death Sentence like in China. Useless Scoundrels!
What will they do with sporty bet and king bet if Bet9ja is seal?
If you seal Bet9ja offices, do you know how many youths actively engaged by the company? Don't seal, the management will surely report to the house.
Pls, they just want last minute bribe from them before winding up...let them discuss the importanter matter- SECURITY!
Are these guys elders mad?

It is unfortunate that the youths are not holding them accountable for all the ills and suffering in the nation.
are they mad ni
They want to be collecting percent on winnings. I heard the case is in court. Why threatening to seal the only legal empowerment? Why? Jokers.
They are just bound of marajunisms.
Fools and this set of people happen to travel out of Nigeria 🤔
Old fools we call leaders... misplace priority
Una no even get the jerk. Bet9ja has failed to bring it hush money and these people won collect am before may 29
Before commenting guys, try to read the news article..
Na them ooo
Why won't our Senate face more important issues, there are other neglected vital issues, bet9j has really helped and provides job opportunities for thousands of pple. I knw they are entitled to paying tax, and why won't a multibillionaire firm boycotts tax in a collapsed system
Rough play
Instead of working hard to earn legitimate income, many of our youth's are so consumed with the beatings, and hoping to make it big time from betting. The effect is, no more regard for, or interest in hard work. Yes, some are winning big, but how sustainable can that be?
The Senate is concerned about the betting firms' failure to remit funds to the govt, have they also thought about the negative effects of the betting firms activities on our youth population? While the older generation was plagued by pool, the youth now is bedevilled by betting.
Ndi ara!
D major employer of labour hmmmm, tell Dem say make Dem pay bribe no issue , case close
it will be wonderful
Count Borno state out as they already banned them from their state.
Also with 180 million Nigerians. Right now the relationship is terrible! Cant you do us a favour and just dont show up for swearing in

Please, let's try and read the commentary before throwing these jibes.
Good move
Someone don use constituency allowance to play 3 odd, e con red
Senate don lose 2020 budget on bet9ja.🙆♂️🙆♂️
When senators bet on top Liverpool vs Barcá and com loose dia money - that thing dey pain!
Biko, is Bet9ja the cause of the insecurity in nigeria or the cause of our poorly equipped hospitals or power blackout nationwide? We really lack leadership.

LesboNaija Mad people
Who authorized their operations in Nigeria? Betting should be banned in Nigeria. It's killing youths and some married men.
O da bi pe awon eleyi fe se oriburuku laiye won
I'm guessing it's on account of 'morality'. The same morality that doesn't stop them from marrying teenage girls.
Better do that quickly, without much ado I hate gambling, and the gamblers.
