A viral video shows a Nigerian father praying fervently after discovering that his daughter was about to win a ₦5 million bet on SportyBet.

In the clip, posted by Dami’ Adenuga (@DAMIADENUGA) on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, the father is seen kneeling with his head bowed on a chair, praying earnestly. The video briefly shows the game in which the daughter was on the verge of securing the win.

The caption reads, “Nigerian Father turns into a prayer warrior after finding out his daughter was close to winning 5 million naira from betting.”

As the video circulated online, it sparked a wide range of reactions. Many s flooded the comment section, sharing their thoughts and opinions.

One , Crypto Ambassador, tweeting anonymously as #LordCrypto_, said, “An excuse for a dad, when you should be discouraging and cautioning your kid. Poverty is a ravenous beast.”

BÎĠ ÅŁĖX, tweeting as #Alex_fabulous2, wrote, “Let them play, prayer won’t work for SportyBet; if the game is meant to land, it will land.”

“See how you’re using your dad to play! Nawa sef for the papa,” commented BlackAfghan, identifying as #ese_billie.

Izuchukwu Nwabueze, tweeting as #princepark5252, wrote, “Lol, this thing isn’t for the faint-hearted.”

You should know its a NO.

Life doesnt work this way. The percentage of people that will successfully gamble their way into their first huge pay is like O.5, so the odds are against her

And do you call this a ? That clown is tryna inculcate a useless and wasteful habit into the young girl's lifestyle and you think thats a good thing?

Lol

If the child eventually won, then God truly answered this prayer.

But then, isn't it a sin to gamble?

In Christianity, God answers' prayers whether to kill one's enemy or to bless one's friend.

Once in a while, I stake N7.5m to win either N15m or N22.5m on Sportybet.

I've never lost though.

Gambling is a No No..! Obviously, it seems the Dad and the family are very poor hence the need to pray for her to win..! The dangers of gambling are enormous so a good dad should tell his child to desist. If she’s lucky to win it, let her not be encouraged to continue as it would definitely derail her. I pray they win it though, from my heart 🙏🏾

Gambling is bad enough. Steer clear like your life depends on it.

It's not that she was going to win the money...This is just a narrative pushed by the daughter or whosoever is behind this show of shame to gain public sympathy. They know what time it is in Nigeria and how Nigerians are generally wired. Eventually someone will give them N5m.

If it was singing competition that the daughter won, the parents will say " she has been singing since she was little"
If she wins sports bet the father will say " she has been betting since she was a little "
