Many people in Nigeria spend the night sitting and sometimes sleeping at bookmakers in the country.
About 30% of Nigeria’s population lives on betting, especially those related mainly to sports.
Statistics show that 65 million Nigerians live on betting, equivalent to about 30% of the country’s total population of more than 200 million.
Bettors in this field see it as a source of entertainment and an opportunity to make money by predicting the results of sports.
Bookmakers in Nigeria are one of the fastest growing sectors in the country, operating legally and spread across the country.
Some Nigerians sleep at bookmakers for many reasons, most notably the addiction of some to gambling, and some see it as a suitable shelter late at night.
