Let me pose a question to you. If you were to pick a bookmaker, which bookmakers do you think is most popular and loved by Nigeria?

Betting companies in Nigeria have come a long way and they have come to stay.

Some have come and gone, while others are waxing stronger.

Betting in Nigeria before the 90s was not very popular but change is the only thing constant in life.

The introduction of the internet touched every part of our lives, including gambling and betting. Sports betting crept quietly into the gambling arena and took us all by storm.

Football unifies everybody in the world, especially in a multi-cultural country like Nigeria.

Sports betting has, however, succeeded in taking the love for the game to another level.

There were some bookmarkers that started out great but for some reason are no longer in the scene. Others started later, however, today, have become the people’s favourite.
