Here are some information am able to gather after going through a search on the most gambling countries in Africa, am surprised at what i saw, to my greatest surprise, Nigeria being the least among other countries in Africa being listed, when i thought in terms of population and the likes should be the lead, many other underdeveloped countries and having more severe economy problem to have made their citizen found gambling as an alternative to livelihood, because i expected that Nigeria should still leading, which means, in Africa, We are far more better in many aspect.

I'm also surprised that Nigeria is the least among all of them with the way a lot of things are happening with a lot of Nigerians, cases of suicide, theft and other insane things as a result of gambling addiction...Well, maybe there are things that are going on as a result of gambling addiction in other countries we are not aware of as a result of gambling addiction that's why they are topping the charts.
You are in Nigeria and can only talk based on your observations in your country and not in other countries because you don't know how the rate of gambling is in other countries. I am not surprised that Nigeria is the least because in other countries, gambling cases are very high. Some countries are fully into gambling and they take it as their tradition. They gamble during special events like burial, marriages and many more.
