So guys, I found the below shot In one of my friend's story on WhatsApp, it is a shot of a popular Nigerian musician known as "
Erigga - I believe that my Nigerian brothers here will know him well.
He was actually talking about the importance of investing to make money, but in emphasizing this, he talked about gambling houses and betting shops; only being found in Poor neighborhoods, while investment banks, equity firms, asset management firms are only found in rich neighborhoods.
While I tend to agree with what he said about making money generally, i am still trying to find any reason to believe that the emphasis he used is true, that is, I do not believe his opinion about gambling house verses investment banks to be true.
What do you guys think about this?

Research has shown that people who live in poor neighbourhoods gamble more. So it will be normal to find more gambling companies in ghettos and slums because they have a larger market there. But Erriga's explanation has a religious undertone. He is telling the religious poor who spend time praying and fasting to invest instead of believing in divine providence or luck. I think the musician is right because it happens in my location. You see people closing their businesses or quitting their jobs and putting more effort into religious activities because they believe that God will make them rich. Engaging in religious activities is not wrong but we must take responsibility for the outcome of our lives.
