Good day my country people, I observed something today which I felt I should share in the forum.
Well it's about a pastor who comes to me and some friends of mine to know little about trading, which my friends and I tried our best to give him the knowledge he can to start trading.      But funny enough he's also interested in sports betting too , he's congregation has quite the number but he stills struggle financially, so he's ready to start doing anything legitimate for money.

But the thing is, is it really acceptable for a man of God as they do call themselves to indulge in things like this?

Pastors and spiritual leaders of a congregation are entrusted with a sacred calling. Their primary responsibility is to guide teach and nurture Thier flock and not to engage in secular pursuit like trading and gambling.

Please what's your take on this?
Every religion de against gambling, so for a man of God to be involved in gambling is really bad. OP you sef wey de ask this question know say all religions are against gambling, even tho we know say our economy don push plenty people de go into any way to atlest earn a living, just imagine say you de see your pastor for bet shop how he go look. I'm not sure about that of bitcoin investment Sha if it is allowed religion wise, because to me bitcoin investment be like business and all business are Established to maximize profits so is bitcoin investment too.

Mehn if you check the rate at which people de run into betting and other ways to make quick money for this country ehn e no suppose shock you say pastor sef Wan de play bet, the economy is too bad and alot of people de go tru hardship, some people sef know say watin dem de do de bad but man need to survive. Make God just help us for this country but e no easy.
