Is gambling wrong? For many people, the answer depends on the situation you're in. If you're down to your very last kobo and there's a sure game to bet on with nice odds, do you bet on the game or take your chances at life - in this economy.

This week on YouthVibes, the conversation turns to the long view on gambling. What are ways to bank against the risk factors for gambling habits, and what are the long-term implications of a gambling habit?

Guests: Dr Ferdinand Ogbaji and Mr Naths Nmadu.

Hosts: Plangkat Musa and Daniel Sule

It's hard enough to live as a Christian, but we're called to go the extra mile and work so that the will of God be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Jesus' commission to us is to make disciples of all nations. What does that mean for our work? Our colleagues? How do we live out our faith in a secular world, and what does it mean to view every waking moment as a mission assignment?
Guests: Dr Toyin Umar and Mr Tobi Salawu.
Hosts: Joshua Agbatse and Dalipa Gwary
