It is quite a pity that the people of the society who are to defend the quality of education and the integrity of our children are in support of the cankerworm that's biting hard on the society- gambling. How on earth can you accept money or favour from "a cursed/blood money" to finance our educational system?

Gambling as you know it is an act of loosing all you've got including family morale. Once you are in the gambling house, you loose everything that is good about your personality, status and morale- even your common sense is gone!

The profit made by the gambling house are money that has been collected from innocent people who have been deceived by the sponsored advert and taught they can make money playing it, however, they keep loosing all their life. Eventually, they are rejected, outcast, downtrodden and broken finding life difficult and tend to grow hate in the society. This people never sees anything good and reasons for live. They are left dejected and eventually they rendered curses on the gambling industries. The money however made in gambling is cursed and can never be used for anything good.

Imagine this cursed money been used to sponsor a child's education- what do you expect, cursed society of course.

The government should rather stop the growth of this cankerworm in our society rather than allowing them to sponsor our schools.

The schools are a place to build our future, train our children to be responsible adult and growing to take the leadership of our country and not to be gamblers.

Allowing the gambling industries to donate and sponsor our schools will eventually promote the awareness of these industries to our innocent, dedicated and committed children. This should be discouraged immediately.

Nobody can categorically say "gambling is good" we all know it's terribly bad. You loose everything you've ever worked for in life and left with nothing.

People who gamble always complain, talk to self, never appreciate their family values, disrespect others and are always volatile as they lost everything.

Many are homeless, poor and get into drugs as a result of gambling- is that what we expect our children and graduates to become- No.

Let's think and be involved in encouraging other industries and good people of the society to donate and sponsor our schools rather than this God forsaken industries which will eventually brew hate in our society.

Think- please think our schools should be sponsored by good and loving hearts which brings about love, peace, harmony and respect for family values.

Not the gambling industries or gamblers or anything associated with it.

Let love continue in our society.
