Her question have angered some Ghanaian Youth who’re saying it’s better she minds her business because football is their passion and they don’t see a way of monetizing their passion as a crime.
A fan pointed that betting is indeed an issue to be looked at but saying it is a National crisis is far-fetched:
True…you’ve identified a valid issue but to call it a crisis is a bit far fetched. You’ve already drawn a conclusion before testing your hypothesis. Why not measure the impact first?
But yea, good story idea.— Kennedy Tetteh (@kennedytetteh) September 18, 2019
Below are some other comments:
On betting, @Serwaa_Amihere asks
“Are Muslims allowed to engage in betting/gambling”.
Me: N?. Actually the Holy Quran talks about gambling and alcohol together in the same verse, recognizing both as a social disease which is addictive and destroys personal and family lives.

If sports betting has become a “national crises” then the longest standing national crises has been lotto from time immemorial if I’m right. Let’s be asking our govts what they’re doing about the ever increasing unemployment rates! #GHToday
