They are government owned health insurance provider. They are cheap. Health insurance is just 15k per annum. There are many private health insurers. If you have money, go for them instead of NHIS. Nobody should be without health insurance in Nigeria if nowadays.

thank you

mfm04622:
Please i beg you in the name of God, do NOT patronize any useless drug seller online! Don't add to you problems!

This is for everybody else! There is health insurance in Nigeria. NHIS cost just 15k per annum and would have covered this cost. It is late for the OP to start that now as it takes minimum of 3 months to process NHIS. Others should not wait till they need health insurance before getting it.

Can you tell me more about NHIS please. There's not much info on their website

For whatever Conspiracy about Okorocha , i still rate him high, He gave Free Education in the Land. Ask anybody,In fact Imo state records highest number of JAMB REGISTERING NATION-WIDE. EVERYBODY BENEFITED IN THE FREE EDUCATIONAL SCHEME. I STILL RATE HIM HIGH!

Imo state always records high in jamb because the people value education and not because of whatever free education. As for the one he gave in imsu, you won't pay school fees but wait till you graduate. My younger brother had to pay everything during his clearance

Allow them have their country and then they can apply for visa that'll allow them live and work in Nigeria. There's no law against doing business in another country

If you want to survive in this country, don't wait for the government to provide you with basic amenities because you go with tire.

Africa’s most populated country and the world’s 26th largest economy is heading for a meltdown as a direct result of envy politics.

It was an election between a multimillionaire pro-business candidate seen as part of the establishment and a self-proclaimed hero of the masses who railed against corrupt elites and promised to fight for the little guy. While this may seem to be the story of pretty much every election nowadays since the shock victory of Donald Trump in 2016, the results of Nigeria’s recent elections contain a very important message from an imperiled country about the dangers of using socialist rhetoric and envy politics as a tool of governance.
If the collapse of Venezuela got the world’s attention, the impending collapse of Nigeria, with six times the population of Venezuela, will be positively seismic. This is what happened, and here is how the world can learn from it.

‘Poverty is Good’
Typically decided along ethnic and religious lines, these elections took on a decidedly economic posture, with the generally prosperous South voting as one for the first time in favour of Atiku Abubakar. This was an economically liberal challenger and successful businessman who promised to introduce comprehensive cryptocurrency regulation in his campaign manifesto after Nigerians were forced to become prolific crypto traders due to the woes of the naira, which fell over 85 percent between 2014 and 2016. The largely impoverished North, however, voted almost unanimously for the famously statist incumbent Muhammadu Buhari.
Following four years of woeful economic performance, including Nigeria’s first recession in a quarter of a century, Buhari’s campaign message was no longer that fighting corruption would grow the economy – which it clearly failed to do in his first term. The message was something altogether different – that Nigerians should learn to accept poverty as the price for “fighting corruption.”
https://www.ccn.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Nigeria-Subnational-Poverty-Rates.jpeg
The glaring economic divide between North and South has been used alongside ethnic and religious politics in the past, but this election was the first time that no attempt was made to promise economic growth to those in need of it. Instead, the message was that poverty in Nigeria is a sign of virtue because only the “corrupt” are able to live well.


Populism is Good Politics
For Buhari’s campaign team, it meant avoiding discussions about real issues like Nigeria’s bloated, inefficient, and excessively powerful central government and the unsustainable nature of its welfarist federal budget.
To have such a discussion would mean explaining why amidst the naira’s 85 percent fall against the dollar in 2016, Buhari’s government chose to maintain an unrealistic official exchange rate which was used to subsidise religious pilgrims heading to Mecca for the Hajj.
https://www.ccn.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Nigeria-2018-Budget-Breakdown.png
Such conversations would include discussing the opposition’s stated plan to privatise NNPC, Nigeria’s state-owned oil firm that essentially functions as an independent country on its own, with no practical oversight by or accountability to government. Also included would be the federal government’s opaque and inefficient public contracting, procurement and funds disbursement process.

Rather than discuss a lack of investment in education and healthcare, extremely poor power generation and transport infrastructure, or the lack of proper separation of powers making the executive a law unto itself, the campaign was instead spent attacking the convenient fig leaves of “corrupt people”, “treasury looters,” and “arrogant elites”.

In the absence of reasoned debate or actual policies and achievements, a large vote-buying effort was also deployed, in what some have referred to as the “weaponization of poverty.”


Demonization and Scapegoating
To the impoverished and angry Nigerian voter, their predicament is down to “people who are stealing Nigeria’s money,” regardless of how easily that argument falls down when challenged by the most cursory analysis.
However intellectually redundant such a viewpoint is, it has a powerful emotional resonance that is often amplified by lack of education and existing ethnoreligious divisions between North and South.


Nigeria’s Unfolding Catastrophe
For most of the world, the catastrophe phase is not underway yet, so perhaps a look at Nigeria, where it is well and truly underway will be instructive. A poor economy dependent on a single export resource looks set to continue on its self-imposed implosion, driven by generous subsidy regimes, ridiculously unsustainable social intervention programs, rapidly ballooning foreign debt and a growing annual recurrent expenditure bill that it cannot hope to afford.

In a wrong-headed attempt to plug this funding shortfall, the government has embarked on a high-handed tax collection effort, repeatedly violating the law by unilaterally freezing bank accounts belonging to small businesses and private individuals in the absence of valid court orders or even demand notices. Understandably, this has spooked investors and accelerated the outward flow of investment, which is conveniently labeled as “corrupt money” leaving the country, as against a policy failure driven by envy and fuelled by incompetence.
Already, tens of thousands of middle-class Nigerians are upping sticks and moving to destinations like Canada, Germany, Australia and the U.S. in preparation for the impending crisis. An entire generation of highly skilled labour including doctors, teachers, lawyers, engineers, nurses, pilots, accountants, entrepreneurs, artists, programmers, artisans, academics and management personnel is being lost to the developed world, leaving behind an exploding population of people living in extreme poverty.


Envy Politics is Deadly Politics
Through all of this, a class of anti-intellectual populists in Abuja continue to raise clenched fists before adoring crowds, admonishing them to “live within their means” while demonizing economic ambition and wealth. They have achieved great political success by weaponizing the economic envy of a large, impoverished population, publicly glorifying poverty as a virtue while collecting the world’s most generous compensation packages for political office holders.

If the elections were conducted properly and fairly, this huge amount of money would've been put into more important things.

Hyena or tiger However hyenas are madly hungry wild animals who can finish a goat within 5mins Hyenas move in groups I dey suspect lion on the loose Or a tiger

No tigers in Africa, except in zoos and private ownership. Suspect it's an African civet, a jackal or a hyena

Simbrixton:
Igbos are a very identity conscious people and deserve there own country that is my honest opinion, the law is called state of origin where you are originally from and igbos in pdp have been trying to change this law through the national assembly to state of residence we lack morality in Nigeria I know many federal companies where igbos don't let other ethnic group get into position as if we ain't one Nigerians look from what I have personally suffered from igbos u guys discriminate a lot and are evil I can't go into much detail I know

Ok. thanks for that, I didn't know there was a law like that. For the discrimination, all tribes do it. It's really bad but it's the truth. Yorubas will want to employ only their brothers, same with all the other groups. it's very bad. What I found it is that individually, the ethnic groups don't hate the individuals in the other groups, they just hate the other's ethnic group. Check well, you'll see it's the fact. Our leaders also capitalise on this to cause divisions for their own advantage and we're to myopic to know that.

Simbrixton:
there is a law sir

Quote it to me please. I've not heard of such

GoTV:
We did it as a Nigerian nation. The north was not a seperate country it is part of the Nigeria that forced you people back. Yoruba troops and other tribes in the Armed Forces participated in the war to bring you back by force. Don't push us to the wall again. Learn from history

Don't fan the embers of war. If, God forbid, one were to start, it won't be like the previous civil war. We'll suffer the consequences for years to come, but I more especially pity the north because they'll also have Boko Haram to contend with

4ckTOT0:
as a non Yoruba I think u guys have to stop Igbos from doing that. You can't try that in an igboland

Why are you so scared of the Igbos? There's no law that forbids someone from contesting an election anywhere. If you yourself were to contest an elective position in my state, I wouldn't think twice before voting you as long as I know you'll perform. That's how sensible people act. You're being tribalistic, how has it helped your life? Bro I wish you would realize that we're not helping ourselves with this, we're only dragging ourselves back.
Let's stop the hate please, for our own sake.
Shalom

GoTV:
I don't like war but why are you guys so troublesome? Why are you hell bent on voting against the progressive government of Lagos state? I think it's time the excesses of igbos in Lagos be checked by the government and host. The igbos are growing into a monster that might possibly break the dominance of APC in Yoruba land. We will resist it with anti igbo policies that will drive u people back to the east

Allow them to leave this country and form their own country, you no go gree. Isn't that stupidity? Igbos are growing into a monster and you're still doing everything possible to remain with them, doesn't that sound foolish to you?
I spit on your skull

Nigerian army are capable but they are over stretched this time...nothing wrong in forming a colabo with other friendly nation cos whatever happens to Nigeria, directly or indirectly affects them...anything that will keep boko haram away from Nigeria is welcomed ....same way atikulooters and his pdp is kept out of the equation

They're not overstretched. There are enough troops in the barracks and road blocks across the country. The current administration are not really interested in fighting boko haram

AngelHoly:
I pity Dem
Us soldiers of all people come and run

Talk of chad dat is lyk ilasa police wan come and fight boko haram

US soldiers didn't run. They only came to train troops, not to fight

asiga:
Una go wail forever and ever

US, UK, China etc all have accepted the results and sent in their congratulatory messages to our amiable President.

Wailers can continue wailing.

They accepted the results because they'll prefer we remain under the current administration instead of falling into political unrest that might happen if they agree that the election was fraudulent. They have to protect their business interests too. That's the ironic beauty of international geopolitics. I hope you understand now

atobs4real:
The Red cap people should even go back to their village and make more impact in all areas including election period. IPOB are scattered all about the country and still they don't like the fingers that feeds them.

Which finger feeds who? are you ok at all? ALLOW THOSE RED CAP PEOPLE TO LEAVE AND FORM THEIR RED CAP REPUBLIC! what's the difficulty in that?

Nothing of such happened. Okorocha did too well in Imo and people love him contrary to his bad image on social media. Even the photos of roads flying around as his works are fake and I've got some photos showing he built some of the best roads in so many places.

Dude if you're in Owerri you won't be saying this. True, he built a few roads but all were substandard. Even the wetheral road that he expanded, d gutters are caving in. Mbari street that he said he was fixing, one lane of the road close to UBA bank has gotten really bad. This particular road didn't even stay up to 3 months before it started getting spoilt.
