The cleric said, “Youths must learn to face their studies and work rather than investing in gambling, which is evil and can ruin their future. They should stop wasting their little hard-earned money on gambling.
“The youth should know that gambling will take everything away from them and leave them with nothing and should, therefore, run away from it.”
He added, “Rather, they should plan their lives and put their trust in God.”
Mr. Timothy implored them to exhibit discipline and refrain from succumbing to the allure of fast cash.
