Like many white-collar workers, Andrew Ejike gets dressed and leaves his home in Enugu town in the afternoon. A computer laptop bag, which he carries like a suitcase, suggests he is visiting the office. If he returns home from the evening, his neighbors frequently ask:”How was work today?” And he replies by saying,”Work was nice”.
Interestingly, Ejike does not have work, and certainly doesn’t have a formal employment. He’s unemployed.
However he has’created’ a’job’ for himself. He is, more or less, a ‘professional’ punter. Sports gambling is exactly what Ejike does and when he leaves ‘work’ every morning on working days, the’workplace’ he goes is really any sports bar around town.
On getting to the bar, Ejike would install his laptop, connect to the Internet using a mobile device, open the website of any of the mobile sports betting companies and begin working on predictions, or permutations, so as to come up with the bets he would set for the day.
A bachelor’s degree holder in Estate Management in a national university, Ejike has been sustaining himself and his young family with profits from sports betting after failing to secure a steady employment since he graduated over ten years back.
In a conversation with our correspondent, Ejike explained he dropped two previous jobs after the companies that he was working for closed down.
