Young man criticized for going to a mosque after winning 38 million naira from gambling

A young man who won 38 million naira from sports betting with an investment of just eight hundred naira has come under fire for his choice to go pray immediately after his win was confirmed.

The young man was seen performing ablution in a video posted online before heading into the mosque to pray. He was escorted by well-wishers singing his praises and congratulating him on his success.

Netizens who disagreed with his choice have taken to Twitter to drop their opinions.
