From all I've read so far you can help yourself by doing the following:

1. Ensure you fill your Nigerian address for ALL documents not just Birth certificate please. Hospital records et all should have your Nigerian address. This may make it difficult for hospitals to apply for Medicaid on your behalf since it is obvious that you don't reside in America and cannot be entitled to Medicaid.

2. For now, you can go for a higher priced hospital because it seems to be what they are also considering to detect Medicaid fraud. I do not like this approach because I believe it is the government's responsibility to weed out Medicaid fraud and not yours, but it is what it is.

3. It is not a do or die affair. Trump has stated that he would try to stop birth tourism. Once that happens Nigerians will face another country even if the country na remote island in the middle of nowhere, Nigerians will reach there. We need to consider fixing this nation by fixing ourselves. We can't continue like this. Seriously.

MamaOO:
Who said it’s a trick anyway? How can someone claim to pay $2500 as hospital fees as an international self pay patient and you as a VO who is American know that even people with insurance pay as much as that? I applaud people who go the extra length to find these discounts, but at the same time, some hospitals are just shady and pass the rest of the payment onto the government.

A visa is a privilege, not a right. They can decide what to do and what not to do with it. You’re not entitled to it. And in case you don’t know sef. American passport holders also find it difficult to get a Nigerian visa.

Sorry but the way I read the bolded is that the applicant colluded with the Hospital to defraud the US government.

What has the US govt done to those hospitals asides from punishing the Patients with refusals? Those hospitals offering these so called "suspicious" discounts are STILL IN BUSINESS!

If the US Government is finding it difficult to handle these hospitals then why should the Nigerian seemingly oblivious of their internal issues, be the one to bear the consequence?

Someone mentioned a blacklist. I don't know if a blacklist exists or not but of what use would it be if the applicants cannot see it? Only when the applicant is being refused that he/she finds out about a so called blacklisted hospital.

Even if the patient pays over $10,000 for hospital bills is there any guarantee that the hospital will still not try to defraud the government through medicaid?

I have no connection whatsoever with huawei.. no one paid me to do anything.. I am just doing what I know to do best..

Thanks for the compliments anyways

Lol. Time will always tell. Let's enjoy the pictures for now.

Maybe a sudden parking by the bus driver leaving the SUV with little space and time to react.

Best style of driving is a mixture of aggressive and defensive. Say ratio 60:40.

ImperialYoruba:
The pair of Olawepo Hashim/Umma Getso will come second behind Buhari in 2019 election.

People's Trust Party will form opposition, not PDP.

.

Who be Olawepo Hashim?

Buhari nor do the 4 by 4 again? .

Meanwhile Oshobaba says 4 while Tinubu says 2. Tinubu get plan

davecris:
What annoys me about this government is the constant leveraging on the failures of the past administration (s). You were voted to fix them. Stop making excuses. Hence, you will be voted out too.

Lol and lies too. Terrible lies.

chrisluci:
All of you chanting sai baba because of #30,000 that can't recharge the phones of these politicians' girlfriends, should think about your unborn children, and what the future holds for us. Also think about the millions who go to bed hungry because of the state of things right now in this country. Like Esau, don't sell your birthright for a pot of porridge!

They really dont care. It is the typical selfish nature of Nigerians. We produce the bad leaders. They come from us.

rs172:
Why coming to Nigeria for the opportunity, why can't they stay in their country too for the opportunity, must they come to Nigeria.

Some work for the foreign companies such as shell, mobil, etc.

Shuku0kukobambi:
Mehn!! Atimes I wish I could have such a soft and sheepish mind that believes do easily

Lol.

Shuku0kukobambi:
Nigeria is a country very fertile for conspiracy theories. So the cabal was so smart to conclude a face swap, that should normally take 8 - 12 months, in 6 weeks but they were so dull that they couldn't change finger print locks in 3 months?

Haba my wise friend!!

Lol. Someone mentioned that changing the lock would raise suspicions. Breaking it would also draw attention. So the best option was to chip away at it slowly and quietly while the area is quarantined due to pest infestation.

Shuku0kukobambi:
Now I understand you.

Since PDP thinks Atiku is the alternative, I'll stick to Buhari and escort him to finish in 4 years. By then, APC would have scattered, PDP would have collapsed. Maybe we can now get some sanity from their pieces to rework the system.

Meanwhile, do you really believe what you wrote in your signature about finger prints not matching? Which governor or president opens any door by himself?

@the bolded, just asking a question. I am curious as to the answer. I was asked that question by a friend. I was made to understand that the office of the president is protected by a biometric lock.

Shuku0kukobambi:
Are you dyslexic? What ambiguities have you seen in my posts?

Neutrality

Shuku0kukobambi:
I hope we won't start seeing biafra or death threads springing up soon again?

Lol. Welcome back. I see the other monikers are back as well. I think for a while you were wondering which side to pick.

majekdom2:
but many Nigerians are nuisances in the street of other countries, the Nigeria many are running away from is where some are planning to come. I was onboard Ethiopian airline some months back to lagos and was wondering why there were more Chinese on board that flight... where we are seeing challenges, some foreigners are seeing opportunities. That’s life. Emmigration is never a bad thing. The point you raised up there are very valid but inside in the matter is the nuisance many of our brothers become in these countries. There are indians, Chinese everywhere just like Nigerians. I want to think it is because of the population but the question remains why are Nigerians nuisances.

I disagree. The same way a few foreigners see opportunities is the same way just a handful of Nigerians get those opportunities. Besides most of those foreigners are going for tourism.

Now kindly tell me what is wrong what our own tourism system? Terrorism and mismanagement? Sole dependence on crude oil:Easy money for the Nigerian government that involves little or no work and no brains and no stress to come by?

Nigeria will never explore other creative means of generating revenue until crude oil is finished.

Instead of the government to boost tourism and create jobs, they are busy trying to tax beggars and check your generators for emission.

Trapnews:
Over 90% of Nigerians are cowards! in sane countries, Citizens will protest and demand for regular power supply before implementation of this laws. Yes over 90% of Nigerians are cowards!

This I agree with. We too fear.

[quote author= post=74226633]Good development.

This government is working.[/quote]I disagree. This is putting the horse before the cart. It will backfire.

Saintp:
@OP, but you are also planning to relocate.

The truth is that a lot in the middle class are now thinking beyond their big salaries. Big salaries without light, good roads, good affordable schools, good hospitals etc is useless. With the worthlessness of the naira,your big salaries won't be able to fund good education abroad but legal permanent residents abroad can attend those schools paying the local rates. What if an unfortunate sickness happens, where would you run to? While politicians will fly to a hospital abroad the next minute, you will be left to rot in ill equipped naija hospitals with your 400k salary


Secondly, the country is a shithole with useless police and institutions that only extort the people. Your big salaries will not save you from police brutality. If you doubt me, pass a police checkpoint with a laptop or an iPhone and see what will happen. Before you bring out your ID card, you would have been labeled a thief and extorted. Where other place in the world have you seen a national army opening fire on their own unarmed citizens? Do you know that Nigerian army has killed more Nigerians than foreign enemies?


Thirdly, if your president and all other politicians from federal to local use foreign hospitals, schools and have foreign citizenship for their kids without shame, why should the middle class be deceived by mere 1m naira salary to stay in Nigeria?


Fourthly, the worst part is that there is no hope that Nigeria will ever get better and this is because our politics is bullshit. Now, they have already started playing tribal politics ahead of 2019 and 2023 instead focusing on the issues. There is no other place in the world where the front runners in a national elections are useless set of people. If Nigeria was a normal society, 2019 elections should have been a battle between the likes of Sowore, Moughalu, Hashim and those other young outsiders but no,Nigerians will rather reinforce failure and expect a miracle. I can go on and on

Ladies and gentlemen, anyone who wants to remain in Nigeria should gladly remain. What I don't like is people trying to criticize others who want to leave. As long as you are immigrating legally and not trying to use a visitors Visa to leave the country, I encourage you to leave if possible. But note, if you worship money, stay in Nigeria cos you may not make all those crazy illegal money abroad. Here, we work hard. In fact, some people do 2 jobs to make ends meet but we enjoy what majority of Nigerians may never enjoy in their lifetime cos the society works for all.

You've just summarized all I've spent a year saying trying to open people's eyes.

Politicians mostly see Nigeria like a whale that washed off the shore. Cut as much whale parts as you can carry. You can come back and cut some more off the whale if others haven't finished cutting it.

The looting will never end because the whale doesn't seem to be diminishing inspite of the massive butchering.

I cannot say that Nigeria is finished because I am not God. However I encourage people to relocate legally once the option is available.

mogbojaiye:
But e go hard nigeria sha o
With dis negative write up everywhere about nigeria, ,,,,last week dis same nigeria was excluded from getting a visa free movement to China but was granted to other africa nation, ,,,its just better they hand over d country to foreigners to handle, ,,else history will play again

What he said

phransix2:
I once dreamt that both Buhari and Atiku were. disqualified from the 2019 elections for misconduct Hashim Olawepo was declared winner...

Yeah same dream! Only in this case it was Oby that became the president of Nigeria.

One of the best governors that has graced the political landscape of Nigeria.

Homeboiy:
Kano should just help us bring down the beers to Benin city

Humblega:
As an elderly stateman.....Criticism of current governance is allowed but just make it constructive....


Not d type dat u will b doing as if he snatched your wife.

Suppoting atiku without telling the current one wot he has not been doing wrongly.....


I just imagine, wot would av happened if any ex president came out against obj in 2003. When he was contesting for second time.........


Btw, seems obj self is coming down on backing atiku........may b he has started seeing someting

1st quarter of 2019 will b so interesting in Nigeria political atmosphere........

Seems you misunderstand the meaning of politics.

Yes sir!

zlantanfan:
You had better be getting set because pmb victory is as sure as the sun, any other inconsequential group that feels otherwise should better be constituting its own electoral body that is different from inec since any election won by APC is tagged rigged

Lol. Ok.

All blending party
