The full message later emerged online and it was also posted by CorrectNG.

In the message, the boy's brother is seeking advice from members of the public on how to deal with the situation.

He lamented that their rent was due and their father had rejected the bet money resulting in a rift between him and his wife.

Even though the man has seen the game slip, he refuses to accept the money into his house, saying it should be returned to the betting company.

The message reads:

“My 19yr old kid bro won 38M with 450 naira and my dad is insisting he returns the money because he doesn’t support gamb'ling despite explaining and showing him the slip, he’s still insisting. Our rent is due in two months, now it has caused issues between him and mum. Kindly advice.”

I guess the father does not want to be a party to what could be questionable tomorrow. Betting itself is tainted by greed, even if in the real sense that was where he got it.
