DIARY GAME: My activities on this day August 20 2021

It was a day full of activities, from the morning till this evening. I would have liked to update you on the sequence of events that happened from the time I made my way into the trycycle alias KEKE:

Me and the rider,

But instead I noticed something within my immediate environment, which I have been thinking seriously about in the course of my activities today.

I noticed that there are new shops that have been opened close to my house, which house the betting operators. What this means is that at the moment, 3-5 minutes trek on the left side of my house, 2 betting shops, and 3-5 minutes trek on the right side of my house 2 betting shops.

And at any time of the day you see young men there, looking at the computer screen.
Perhaps, you can say, it's the same situation all over. Well, if you say so, you are right.

But, are we in the right direction as a people?

I decided to make a little research, and I discovered that, the second and fourth MOST visited websites in Nigeria today are betting websites.

In fact statistics reveal a whopping 250 to 300 MILLION visits each month. That is huge Steemians!

Don't get me wrong friends, it is up to any adult to decide how he choose to make money. Unfortunately in this country, we are in serious economic quagmire, with little or no opportunity available, but if the country becomes the gambling capital of the world, is that okay? Don't you think it's a big problem?
Remember we have not even mentioned those that stays under an umbrella, the ones in old fashioned pool offices and more, and more, Wow!

It should be a course for concern if you ask me.

Is there any thing we can do about it? It's a good thing that Steemalive is reaching out not just to individuals but groups and associations.

Imagine if can we assist some of these teeming youths to embrace blockchain technology with it's ever-expanding opportunities, I believe that will be better in the long run for all of us.

Dear Steemians, thank you for going through this short piece with me. We keep up the struggle to win as many as we can.
