I am certain that the father is very religious to let off that much money especially that this incident happened in Nigeria.

Yes, I think there is a consensus in the thread about this. Anyway, the boy has enough money to live on his own for a good period of time, especially considering that in Nigeria the cost of living must be cheaper and that $82K could last him quite a while. What I don't see is any reference to the boy's age and whether he could legally emancipate himself in the country. Because if not, I don't know what option the boy has left. Maybe bury the money somewhere hidden so he'll let him in the house.

Op just gave a picture and I tried to find it on the internet and here is the full link about the news
https://www.legit.ng/people/family-relationship/1535831-i-dont-sports-betting-19-year-wins-n38-million-n400-father-asks-return-money/,

so he can be said to be a mature man because he is 19 years old which means he is old enough to start his own life apart from his parents using the money he got from gambling, and he belongs to a poor family because in the news it is also stated that he needs money to pay the rent which is due soon, but it seems that his belief in religion dominates his father's heart and mind.
My only curiosity is, he won 38 million Naira just by betting 400 Naira in sports betting, meaning it has to be at a huge number of odds, if it's a parlay bet then the number of matches he chooses must be quite a lot with big odds to mean's he betting much on underdogs team or athletes
unfortunately, it's not complete news so there's not much to explore, because sometimes stories like fairy tales appear on the internet so maybe this is just an imaginary story not real stroy.
