Even now that MC oluomoburuku is now the president of the nurtw,
the coast is becoming clearer for tifnubu in 2027 presidential election. The only hope is if the majority of the northerners can vote against him then few votes from other parts of the country can add up to that, he will surely not win the election, but we still have inec and the judiciary to tackle, they have been completely bought by tifnubu. May GOD come to our rescue 🙏
Exactly, we all know who controls more garage, takes the win in the south west. You are right about the North and I also hope Atiku, Kwankwaso and Obi can face reality and know that it's either their coalition or them endorsing one another will there hope to remove the incumbent president like we saw played out in USA when JFK endorses Trump.

I don't understand this ratio.

83% of my income on food, 48% of same income on transportation, 38% of still same income on Bills and Utilities, yet again clothing is taking 35% of same income and the rest.

Shouldn't the total percentage be 100? I'm not understanding this analysis.
They don't know maths

Okay.

Is like someone will have to be working in a government job, before he/she can access it? Or can private workers benefit from it too?

Health Maintenance Organisation a.k.a. Health Insurance.

Most standard private organizations, such as banks and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies, provide Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) as a benefit, similar to how pensions are paid. You can access your HMO at any time, but the specifics depend on the company’s plan.

British companies typically cover premium plans that extend benefits to employees, their spouses, and children. In contrast, Lebanese companies often opt for more basic plans that only cover the employee. Additionally, if an employee utilizes the benefits excessively, these companies may terminate employment under the justification that the employee is not 'fit for the job.'

Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs) can cost as little as ₦2,000 per month.

Update: Imagine all the benefits that come with ₦24,000 per year.
Re: Top 10 Things Nigerians Spend Their Money On Amid Hardship by Love800(m): 5:01pm On Nov 10, 2024
It will be deducted from your salary, right?

Yes, this amount is deducted from your Gross Salary. For example, if your Gross Salary is ₦120,000 monthly, the Health Management Organization (HMO) contribution would be approximately ₦5,000, while the pension contribution would be around ₦12,000. This means your take-home pay would be roughly ₦106,000.

Several different kinds of people are on nairaland. Not just lowlives like you.
when you say living in abject poverty, do you know me before?

That's good to know. Comprehensive motor insurance saves one a lot of headaches and stress as it has a wide scope of cover.
Please spread the Gospel of insurance, as the benefits of insurance will help us a lot in Nigeria.
