Bet9ja Spirit

Bet9ja Spirit

Mark is a senior secondary school student who loves to gamble and place bet over little things. He gambled so much that the heart that used to be in the middle of his chest, dropped to the left side of his chest due to the intense pains of losing through countless gambling.

One morning, his father gave him 80 thousand naira to pay his school fees.

"Make sure you use this money to pay your school fees. I don't want to hear any story" his father said.

As he was on his way to school, he saw a bet9ja shop close by so he decided to go and play bet. He placed a bet and continued going to school. Immediately he arrived at school, he remembered that he didn't do his home work. When the teacher came to teach, he said: "Submit your home work everyone". Everyone submitted except Mark.

"If you know that your book is not here, please come out. Don't waste my time".

Mark came and dropped 2 thousand naira on his teacher's table and as he was going back to his seat, his teacher said: "Do you think you can bribe me?!!. You are going to w**d the school backyard for not doing your home work!!".

When the school was over, Mark went back to the bet9ja shop and realized that he lost. He decided to sell what he had inorder to play bet. He played again but lost and he kept selling more stuffs. Mark never gave up even when he saw that he kept losing. He sold his shirt to play bet. He kept selling what he had to the extent that the only thing he had on him was his short.

When a person who knows him was passing by, the person took him away from there. The person followed Mark to his house and said to Mark's father

"Sir, your son is a chronic gambler".

"Mark where are your clothes? And have you paid your school fees?" Mark's father asked.

"Explain what!!. There is no point sending you to school with this behavior!!".

That afternoon when his parents went out, he started thinking of gambling. He sold some things at home to gamble. He kept losing and decided to sell more things. By the time his parents got back, the whole house was empty.

"HAAAAAY!!!. WHERE IS MARK!!?" His father shouted.

Mark was on his way home wearing a big black leather because he even sold his clothes to gamble including all his underwear.

Few weeks later, his father sent him to a boarding school since he had went too far. In the school, Mark will be restricted from gambling and other things.

For the past 2 weeks, Mark's room mates have been noticing some bad smell every morning and they were complaining. Mark is a bed wetter. To solve the issue, they had to construct a pipe which will be connected to his manhood so that whenever he is urinating while sleeping, the urine will go directly to the toilet.

After Mark had spent two weeks without gambling, he decided to look for ways to gamble then he asked one of his class mate.

"Would you like to gamble?.

"Ah! Gamble?. If we try it, our punishment will be terrible" She replied.

Mark began to sneak out of the school to look for a bet9ja shop. He climbed a fence and saw a group of dogs in front of him. He climbed back and began to run and the dogs ran after him. Mark ran back to the school and shut the gate immediately.

When the school was on holiday, Mark's father refused to allow him to come back home. He insisted that Mark should stay with someone else. The people that Mark stayed with, were very nice. There names were Phoebe, Hope, Chinonso and Saul.

One afternoon, Mark followed Hope, Chinonso and Saul to the market. He was told to remain in the car while they go for shopping. When he was in the car, he saw a bet9ja shop close by. He went there to play bet but he lost. When he lost, he became angry and desired to play again. He didn't have anymore money with him. He saw the car that he came with and wanted to sell it. He borrowed a signboard and placed it on the car. What was written on the signboard was car for sale. Some few minutes later, an American man came to buy it.

"How much is this car?" The man asked. Mark was trying to Americanize with him.

"It's seven hundred thousand naira" Mark said.

"Really?" The man asked.

"Ya" Mark replied.

Mark sold the car to play bet. He didn't even played the bet gradually. He bet with all the money expecting to win billions. When he lost, he jumped up and landed his body on the ground and started rolling. He then stood up and began to tear his shirt.

As Mark saw his friends coming, his legs began to shake. His trouser fell from his waist as his legs continued to shake. When Hope, Chinonso and Saul came, Hope asked: "where is my car?".

"Eh?" Mark said.

"Where is my car" Hope said again.

"I was attacked by an armed robber. Look at me!" Mark answered.

"IT'S A LIE!! HE SOLD THE CAR TO PLAY BET!!" A person in the bet9ja shop shouted. Everyone became surprised.

"You sold my car!?" Hope asked.

"I am so so sorry. I didn't know what came over me" Mark said to her.

Saul called Mark's father and told him what his son did.
