Topic: A Nigerian Father Rejects Son's Gambling Win - page 10. (Read 1677 times)
Don't worry let the boy in question go ahead and keep enjoying his reward and he should make sure to make a good investment with the rewards, and he should watch how the father will run back to beg for forgiveness because it is quite unfair if the father could treat the boy that way without taking time to understand what the boy has gone through to win such an amount.
We don't know what is behind the father's mind. Simple understanding, he believes gambling is wrong. On what basis he concludes is of his personal experiences, personal understanding or can be on religious factors. This incident can be taken on the positive way as well as on the negative note.
Think of a situation in which the son use the winning lavishly and ends his living into another track. Such incidents have taken place with different people winning big money. Maybe what the father did is right on such occasion. Same time the money could've been invested on something or it could've been just changed to some cryptocurrency and kept hold.
In life everyone is hustling to be rich, to have money and live the life of your dream world. Nobody like to suffer on this Earth. We are all hustling and struggling to come from poverty, but what on Earth his father was thinking to reject the money that the son won from gambling. Before the boy won that amount, my brother do you imagine how much he has lost for gambling? And the father is telling the son to return the money, the boy might even disown the father because he passed through stress, thinking to win big one day and today is the day and his father is telling him to return the money. The religious the father is trying to bring to this matter might not work. Instead the father should investigate the source of the money let the boy be.

that couldnt really be just that small to ignore on.For sure there would be some later talks in regarding the amount that boy won.
What a joke, gambling is not bad as long as the gambler didn't doing anything harm to his life or family or someone else.
This boy will be mad to his father since he already lose a lot money and when he won this huge winnings, his father not appreciate his son money and ask him to return back. This case will change the boy's character, it's either he will not gamble anymore since his father not accept his winnings or he will continue to gamble and hide it from everyone, but this will make him become an addict.

We really don't know that is the story behind the father and son. Maybe their relationship is not good in the first place. So anything that the son will do, the father will not approved of it.
Specially if he brings the money in his house and the source is gambling. So if his father doesn't want it then he can't do anything. Maybe the best thing for him is to separate and get his own place to live with the money he won.

We don't know what's on his mind but we're all agreeing to what he was thinking during that time and that's really about where the money came from and that's through gambling. Even if it was a fortunate situation for his kid that has won a lot, he wouldn't tolerate it. There's some principles that he's protecting on his own and trying to pass it onto his kid.

We don't know where fate is going to direct us but just as the mother's let's just lean onto the belief that they know what's best, the same as that father. 
A boy won #38,000,000 ($82340.19) with just #400 ($0.87) and when the boy brought home his win, the biological father of the boy rejected the money because it was gotten from gambling. So that makes me to think how people look or see or think of gambling. Is gambling a bad thing to do? As for me gambling is not a bad something but the individual can be bad and also the way you present yourself in the society can also tell people about your personality.
How do you see the father? Was he right by rejecting the son gambling win?

I think that one part of this story is intentionally being overlooked - if this person was of legal gambling age then it would not matter what the father thinks, of course he could stop the son bringing the cash to his house but the son would have the option to live elsewhere or abandon the sum. While the father does not want the money in his house, which is completely his right and may be a rare example of someone sticking up for their religious morals, it does not mention him forcing the son to give up the money completely. The correct course of action, if the son agreed with his father (even after breaking religious rules), would have been to give the money over to a charity who would use it wisely.

maybe my answer is a bit oot but this is just my own opinion.because the news is not complete, so I can conclude that there is a possibility that the man is from a Muslim family and his father does not want to accept the money because for Islam gambling money is haram or not allowed in Islam. so the reason his father didn't want to accept the money was probably because of his religious thoughts.
As for me gambling is not a bad something but the individual can be bad and also the way you present yourself in the society can also tell people about your personality.
yes true gambling is not bad for us but for other people? because we know that someone has a different thought.How do you see the father? Was he right by rejecting the son gambling win?
a father is obliged to educate his child to be better for his future and has the right to provide guidance to his child. but if the child is an adult a father can only tell about negative things about gambling. and for me his father was not wrong if he refused the money because a father also has the right to refuse money from gambling but that does not mean that the money must be returned to gambling. so that the responsibility lies with the boy himself.we don't know the different angles in this story so we can just give our opinion to what is obvious from the published article. but it all sums up, the decision what to do with the winnings will depend on the son himself. either he goes home or not, and decide what to do with his money. he's been gambling so he is already old enough to know what to do with his life and so with the money. with regard to his biological father, maybe he wants to stick with his principles despite of hardships.
~snip~
It's hard to judge whether the father is right, since we don't know their backstory. It is quite possible that the son has a gambling addiction and the father has spent a lot of time and effort to help him get rid of his gambling addiction. In such a situation, of course, the father would be right. But there may be another situation where the father has never been able to earn that much money for the family and winning a son came as a serious blow to his ego.
Maybe the father just don't like that his son is gambling and we all know winning a big amount of prize can also increase the gambler's greed to bet more and spend bigger amount of money.
That's what we can think based on the action of his father. He doesn't want his son to be in-depth with gambling because, with a small amount, he'd won big.Although if you would look on the positive side, that amount of money can help their family financially.
Yes, that money is already big to help them and can be spent on important things that they can, especially food and other necessities that they need.Perhaps the father could just guide and remind his son about gambling. He may have won a jackpot, but it doesn't mean he can win again easily.
Maybe he's just a man that honor his words.

He should say "Have fun staying poor!" to his father.
Seriously, he needs to be happy with his son's winnings. Why are some people such party poopers? We all know gambling is a bad habit but this dude somehow got lucky and hit the jackpot. Ignoring that money will do no good to him especially if he can improve his lifestyle with that money.
I wish I had a son like him.
able to spend out those money for good or sensibly on which it could really be able to buy out your daily needs. Its up into your father whether he would really be making use of them or would be eating into those
food that you had bought and if he do still insist then its better to buy up something out of those gambling winnings on which you could really be able to that utilize rather than on losing again those funds on gambling platform. There are really people or parent who do really withstood into their principle or on what they do believe on.If they dont want to touch up on things which are really that bound into something which is
really against with our principles and belief and this is why they would really be having those kind of actions or reactions which we should really respect on whatever they do.
We could still continue on living and spending those money despite of your parents doesnt really like on whats happening.
His father must be a devoted religious man, and is contented with what he has. He believes that his son should see him as his role model but got disappointed towards his son for doing things the other way round. The society has made gambling civilized and legal but everyone has his own point of view to what gambling means to them. The boy should consider his father and do what will make his father happy,as for the money that will change his life,if he is wise enough to invest the money.
This is a religion matter and can be solved with religion way. Probably the father is a billionaire so if I am the son and the father want me to be his son he has to give me the money then I will return the gamble win to the company if I will go out and rent my house start my life from there. I will use 50% of the money to invest in bitcoin and use 10% to start a physical business and use the rest to furniture my rent house or use it to build a portable house and live in. If I will not go back and asked him food then all is well with me.
Relating it to religion seems to be a crucial issue, but if his father was a devout believer in his religion that would be the cause. Getting the jackpot with a big win is luck that can't come twice. If his father refuses, of course he hopes that his father is richer and has more money than his son's winnings.
But I don't know, that is their business and will not affect others, if it is rejected then the bookies will be very happy.

I think the story above is related to the religion his father adhered to, so his father refused money from gambling and would not allow him into his house. Perhaps, we will think that it is better if the money is accepted so they can do something with it. But if the father still insists on refusing the money, maybe the son will return the money to the casino or maybe the son will share the money with other people and not enjoy the money. Many possibilities could happen from the story above that we won't know unless the child tells the story on social media so people will see it.
It looks like their family is Muslim and maybe their father is very devout and also scared because Muslims strictly prohibit gambling and it would be a big sin. And gambling is illegitimate and what is illegitimate is a sin, so winning from gambling is also illegitimate or a sin and those who enjoy the winnings of gambling will be subject to their sins. And maybe the father of a child who won a large amount of gambling thinks like that and many true Muslims are afraid of things that are forbidden, and it's all in the Qur'an.
And what difference does it really make been a devote religious father. Even has a Muslim the father has done even worst than gambling so rejecting his son's win is more like hypocrisy. Every seed is a product of a fruit, in one way or the other the father must have lured the lad into gambling knowing or ignorantly, Using rejecting the money is a way of punishing his son for sinning differently if religion is the reason for the action
Maybe the father just don't like that his son is gambling and we all know winning a big amount of prize can also increase the gambler's greed to bet more and spend bigger amount of money. Although if you would look on the positive side, that amount of money can help their family financially. Perhaps the father could just guide and remind his son about gambling. He may have won a jackpot, but it doesn't mean he can win again easily.
There are positive and negative outcome to gamblers who experienced winning a big amount of money, I hope that he won't end up like the other gamblers who went back to 0 because of their greed and the way they spend their winnings.

I mean, if he doesn't want it, he can give it to me. Kidding aside, the father has his morals set in stone I guess. I believe it's dumb, yes, but well, the man's living to what he believes, so I don't think talking about right or wrong here would do much, that's what he believes is right anyway. Talking about how he taught his kids is another thing though seeing as he hates gambling yet his kid went and did just that.Maybe the father can simply decide to donate it or something, don't return it to the bloody casino, that's just dumb. Man's got principles with gambling, I reckon he also realizes he can do those stuff with the money. Kinda sad how I realize that there's no way in hell the kid can keep it for himself though and maybe reserve for his college life or something.
