Popular relationship expert Blessing CEO has taken to social media to call for a complete ban on all betting platforms in Nigeria.
The social media personality, whose real name is Blessing Okoro, took to Instagram to voice her strong opinions on the matter, asserting that betting has had profoundly negative effects on individuals across the country.
In a video shared on her Instagram page, Blessing CEO expressed her firm belief that the Nigerian government should intervene to prohibit betting platforms.
Despite acknowledging that betting is a source of income for many, she emphasized that its detrimental impacts far outweigh any economic benefits.
Blessing CEO went on to disclose that she has turned down lucrative endorsement deals from betting companies, claiming that she views their operations as tantamount to fraud.
She criticized celebrities who endorse betting platforms, stating that she has lost respect for any celebrity who promotes such activities.
She went on to further argue that betting has led to the ruin of countless young and older Nigerians, rendering them “useless” in society.
“Make government ban betting platforms… It has rendered a lot of our young youth and old people us€less. Make government ban am. I don’t regard any celebrity that influences for them,” Blessing CEO said in part.
The video quickly gained traction on social media, prompting a flurry of responses from both supporters and critics.
