***T2bet Revolutionizes Online Betting with Innovative Platform
Honorable member representing the Idemili North/Idemili South Federal constituency of Anambra State, Uchenna Harris Okonkwo has expressed his belief that indigenous online betting platforms like T2Bet can significantly contribute to Nigeria’s economy by attracting foreign exchange and creating job opportunities.
Speaking at the launch of T2Bet, a new gaming platform over the weekend, Hon. Okonkwo highlighted the potential of such platforms to bringing economic value to the country while empowering the youth.
“Platforms like T2Bet have the capacity to bring in foreign exchange by drawing participation not just from Nigerians but from international users,” said Okonkwo, who is also a member of the Intergovernmental Affairs Committee in the House of Representatives.
He pointed out that as more users engage in the platform globally, foreign currencies such as the U.S. dollar, Euro, and Pound Sterling could flow into Nigeria, helping to strengthen the nation’s economy.
The lawmaker emphasized the importance of developing homegrown platforms that can compete on a global stage, stating, “Nigeria is taking an inward-to-outward approach—meaning that what we create here can reach the world. T2Bet is a prime example of this.”
Okonkwo also stressed the job creation potential of such platforms.
“The multiplier effect of a platform like T2Bet cannot be overstated. Beyond the direct jobs created within the company, there are numerous opportunities for local businesses that support its operations, from IT and payment gateway providers to marketing and customer service teams,” he noted.
He added that the gaming industry is not just about gaming or betting, but also about creating a broader ecosystem of professionals, from developers to regulatory experts, who contribute to the platform’s success. Okonkwo urged young Nigerians to take advantage of these opportunities, saying, “There’s room for growth not just in gaming but in all the ancillary services that support platforms like this.”
The lawmaker concluded by reaffirming his commitment to pushing for a regulatory framework that supports indigenous businesses in the gaming sector. He pledged to work with relevant government agencies to ensure that such platforms are not only compliant with regulations but also receive the necessary backing to thrive both locally and globally.
“Platforms like T2Bet are a path forward for Nigeria’s digital economy. With the right regulatory support and compliance, we can harness this potential to boost foreign exchange, create jobs, and uplift the youth,” Okonkwo Said.

South-South leaders have showered praise on Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan for her intelligence, self-control, and fearless representation of Kogi Central, while debunking rumors of discord between her and Senate President Godswill Akpabio.
Following a high-level meeting in Calabar on Sunday, the leaders dismissed allegations of sexual harassment and sidelining as “wicked and malicious,” calling them attempts to smear the distinguished senator’s reputation.
“We know that the Senate President does not have anything against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, contrary to the insinuations of political mercenaries,” said Chief John Harry, National Chairman of the South-South Front.
Describing Akpoti-Uduaghan as a “dedicated and fearless lawmaker,” the leaders warned against blackmail and misinformation, urging Nigerians to rally behind her and Akpabio in their efforts to drive national progress.
‘’We know that the Senate President does not have anything against Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan, contrary to the insinuation of political mercenaries’’
They also chastised some individuals and groups for introducing dangerous dimensions to the recent development in the Senate.
‘’We consider it very irresponsible and most uncharitable for some individuals and groups to mischievously try to set Akpoti-Uduaghan against the leadership of the Senate for expressing her views’’.
The South-South leaders disproved sexual harassment and sidelining rumours, describing them as ‘’wicked and malicious’’
‘’These smear campaigns are attempts to tarnish the image of the distinguished senators and put the popular, bright and unflappable Akpoti-Uduaghan at logger-heads with the leadership of the Senate
A statement by the National Chairman of the South-South Front, Chief John Harry shortly after the meeting applauded Akpabio and Akpoti-Uduaghan for working for the progress of the country.
‘’There is a general misunderstanding. The unwarranted attack being launched on Akpabio and Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan amounts to an assault on our collective sensibilities’’
Harry said the leaders took cognizance of the pleasant disposition of the Senate President, his inclusive strategy and the peaceful atmosphere he has been able to create in the Senate.
“No amount of allegations and criticisms hurled at the distinguished senators can erode their contributions to the development of the country”
The notable leaders called on all South-South and North Central people and indeed Nigerians to show solidarity and support for the Senate President and the member representing Kogi Central in the Senate.
‘’The Kogi Central Senator is dedicated and fearless. There is no amount of blackmail, name-calling or intimidation from fictitious groups, that could change the course of Akpoti-Uduaghan’s destiny’’

Despite calls for suspension from the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and the Nigeria Police Force, the Osun State local government election proceeded as scheduled on Saturday.
Governor Ademola Adeleke voted in Ede North Local Government Area, describing the process as peaceful and urging residents to exercise their franchise.
The AGF, Lateef Fagbemi, cited a Court of Appeal ruling allegedly reinstating sacked local government chairmen, while the police warned of potential security threats.
