Many husbands now use their salaries in betting. This act is irresponsibility.
Ibidia who spoke extensively in “Nzuko-ndi-Anambra” a radio programme at Anambra Broadcating Service said gambling should only be done once in a while for fun but will be disastrous and detrimental when it becomes a habit. According to the lawmaker “A gambler is a deviant. They need rehabilitation and social orientation. They need to see a psychiatric. The media has a lot to do in other to curb these menace”.
