While I sympathize with victims of the recent fire incidents in some markets across Nigeria, I wish to urge traders & market unions to embrace insurance coverage as one way to mitigate situations like these, especially now that the insurance sector has greatly improved in Nigeria
As serial entrepreneur and one who started business with little or no support from anyone, I know how hopeless it could be to lose your entire business to burglary or fire, as I had been through it before I discovered the insurance route, and would encourage others follow suit.
Good news is that premium on sum assured today is as cheap as 1% or even less, in some cases. This means that if your business is worth 10 million naira, you'd be required to pay only N100,000 yearly as premium, which I think is reasonable. This covers burglary, fire, flood, etc

TRAGIC BUT OF GREAT CONCERN...

*PARENTS PLEASE READ AND SHARE.*
***

He sat in COURT, holding his head in his hands and weeping quietly. Those around him looked at him in pity, and those who did not know the reason for this, wondered why a grown man was weeping openly.
For Mr. James Jackson, his life had just crumbled before him like a pack of cards.

"He who had two sons that were born on the same day, had suddenly become childless".
Two years ago, the first of the twin was brutally murdered, while he was being inducted alongside others as a MEDICAL DOCTOR.

Today, the court sentenced his only surviving son and child to die, by the hangman’s noose.

 @CNBC blames U.S. sanctions for #Iran’s crumbling economy.

Let’s take a very brief look at the mullahs’ massive corruption that CNBC will not talk about.
2)
 The chief of staff of Iran's president has said in a letter that one billion euros ($1.12 billion) in hard currency allocated for importing medicines and essential goods “has disappeared”.

 In an interview with @CNN today, @jrezaian claimed he is a “journalist.”

To the Iranian Diaspora, Rezaian is nothing but a known & disgraced #Iran regime apologist/lobbyist writing pro-Tehran articles despite being jailed in Tehran.
2)
 If there was any doubt that @jrezaian of the @WashingtonPost is an #Iran regime apologist/lobbyist, this should be the final nail in the coffin.

Despite being jailed by this regime, Rezaian calls for the U.S. to actually trade with the mullahs.

“Andrew Erickson, a maritime militia expert @NavalWarCollege, recently called for the US to “deal with China’s sea forces holistically” & state clearly that it expected China’s #Navy, #CoastGuard & #MaritimeMilitia to follow international rules.” ft.com/content/ab4b16… #PAFMM
“He added that the US had to ‘accept some friction and force Beijing to choose between de-escalating — the preferred US outcome — or to move up against a US red line that China would prefer to avoid’.” amp.ft.com/content/ab4b16…
"The US navy has been conducting FONOPS..sends warships through disputed waters to prevent a claimant from denying others access in violation of int'l law. Analysts have long pushed for a more effective US response to counter China’s mix of mil, paramil & econ coercive measures."

1. The #Iran Action Group created by @SecPompeo last month released its report. Iran's role in the region, which other administrations overlooked, appears to be under intense scrutiny. #Houthis in #Yemen have been identified alongside groups responsible for attacks against the US
2. The report stated that consequences of #Iran's meddling include its lethal ballistic missiles, which advanced its proxies military capabilities: "Yemen’s #Houthi militants have fired numerous ballistic missiles into #Saudi Arabia, including two directed at Riyadh in May 2018."
3. The report also indicated that since 2012: "#Iran has spent over $16 billion propping up the #Assad regime and supporting its other partners and proxies in #Syria, #Iraq, and #Yemen."
