Local Insight: "Betting shops in Nigeria (locally called 'bet shops') are as ubiquitous as barbershops or phone credit vendors. They open at dawn and close late at night, seven days a week. Football match days produce enormous foot traffic, and shops function as social gathering spaces for young men who bet on European football throughout the day."
