Few weeks ago, I tweeted a reminder on the importance of health insurance. With less than 18k, you can get covered up to N200k worth of healthcare. Today, I've come to educate you on other insurance options. I'll keep at it till it sticks. #IfYouLoveItInsureIt Follow this Thread
You see, it's bad enough that Nigeria as a country is a high-risk country: bad roads, poor security, lax labour laws, weak traffic regulations, etc. You can have a car today & tomorrow your car is gone due to a reckless okada or danfo accident, your house or shop can be burgled..
Look at the post #EndSARS looting for example. Till today, many businesses are yet to recover. A small complex at my street junction was burnt down. It's not yet back up since 6months ago. People's sweat gone. Everyday we see dramatic fights due to accidents in traffic.
With just N5,000 ANNUALLY, (yes 5k pizza money), you can save yourself the igbese of fixing someone's car that you bash in traffic. Insurance will help you pay for damages up to N1m. WITH JUST 5K! You see, if you love yourself & your asset, you will insure it #IfYouLoveItInsureIt
If you've followed me for a while, you'll know I care so much about SMEs. Because I was sent to school with proceeds from SME. I recall I almost dropped out when customs seized my mum's goods. We were stranded. No school fees. Something goods in transit insurance would have saved
Look, there are various types of insurance that can serve as saving grace between you and a heart attack or penury. Health insurance is one. As they say, many seemingly rich people today are just one sickness away from poverty. Buy health insurance. Let me show you other types.
The problem is that too many people don't trust insurance companies. Too many horror stories of not paying claims. Me I don't have that experience with my insurance company. I'll tag them cos they've done well. It's @MyChiPlc. Now, back to types of insurance that can save you.
MOTOR COMPREHENSIVE INSURANCE (You can buy 5k 3rd party if you dont have much money): It covers damage to your car, including fire, theft, and damage you cause to someone else’s car or property. You can buy it using this link: chiplc.com/comprehensive-…
PERSONAL ACCIDENT COVER: This covers medical bills incurred because of injuries sustained in an accident. Just few days ago, God saved my friend from a ghastly accident along Ibadan expressway. Protect yourself please. You can buy this one using this Link: chiplc.com/personal-accid…
ALL RISK INSURANCE: This Policy provides cover for loss of or damage to your insured phone, laptop, and household items, occasioned by fire, burglary, theft, accident, etc., within the premises or anywhere within Nigeria. WEBSITE LINK: chiplc.com/all-risk-insur…
HOME CONTENT INSURANCE: This policy provides an ‘all-risks’ cover in respect of residential buildings, household goods and personal effects. WEBSITE LINK: chiplc.com/home-insurance/
TRAVEL INSURANCE: This insurance covers General Travel Protection Plan. It also includes medical expenses arising out of illness or accident, repatriation cost, trip cancellation and many more. WEBSITE LINK: chiplc.com/travel-insuran…
Don't say I didnt do anything for you o. I will be back again in the future to remind you about the importance of insurance again. I won't be tired about saying it. Remember, #IfYouLoveItInsureIt. A word is enough for the wise o. End.

Lol. I like how this thread combines the truth with funny feel. Money is the biggest enabler of love. Good heart, caring and friendships are all elements that can be easily amplified with money. The only element that can’t be amplified with money is good sex.
When I was in my final year, my girlfriend(good babe) then loved me so much, so much that she didn’t dump me when she found another “caring” UK based guy. Instead, she kept me there and dated me along with the guy. Me the low funds guy showing love, high funds guy spending.
I found out and as a lover boy, I moved past it and thought we could still move ahead, only for another high funds guy to come along again. Babe still didn’t dump me, but instead saved both of us names as “Ayo mi”. When I found out, I wept. I promised never again will it happen.

I look at young Nigerians from not-so-privileged homes despising those with privilege. You’re short changing & limiting yourself. In life, there will always be those born with privilege, those who grow into it, and those who get it from relationships. Let me explain. Thread
Those born with privilege don’t start from ground zero-they attend good schools(quality education), they don’t struggle with physiological needs for their family, they have resources to fund their passion w/o having to labor or save, & ultimately they have strong social currency.
Those without privilege have little - no legacy funds or elite education, at times even no decent shelter & living conditions for their families. So your journey is longer, laced with struggle to improve the lives of your parents & yourself. You have to first work to survive.

The influence of friends on your self esteem & growth is often under rated. Some years ago, I had a friend who always focused on what was wrong with things I did or wore. My shirt was too big, my punctuation insufficient, etc. I began to unconsciously second guess myself. Thread
I used him as a learning pad for mastering the art of shutting up people who habitually offered unsolicited & uncomplimentary remarks. Cutting him off helped change many things. On one’s growth journey, the content you take in about you, even from childhood, impact your psyche.
It is important to hang around those who celebrate your strengths & are also willing to help you improve on your weaknesses. The balance makes you better and more confident when dealing with new people. But those who dwell more on your weaknesses may ruin your confidence levels.

An Open Letter to Mr. President, @MBuhari from a Patriotic Citizen.

Dear Mr. President ,

I saw this @SaharaReporters news and thought to pen this heartfelt letter to you, as a very concerned working class Nigerian youth who loves and lives in Nigeria.

We are troubled.

Thread.
First, I hope in my heart that that @SaharaReporters news in untrue. I hope the true story is that these people died in a boat crash. Because now, Nigeria is at an all time low.

Our youths no longer appeal for power or education or healthcare, we are now begging to stay alive.
We are being slaughtered. Lekki, Oyibo, Zamfara, Maiduguri, Kaduna. All across Nigeria. People are dying. The body language of government is too discouraging for the hopelessness that many of us feel. Containers, herdsmen, bandits, iPOB, Boko Haram, especially Police & Soldiers.

A few months ago, I shared my story on how we could have been rendered homeless months after my Dad died and our landlord kicked us out, insisting he wasn't renting to a widow. Recently, I met with some young folks who get confused about real estate vs investment options. Thread
I was 16. But that experience influenced the lenses through which I see real estate from the perspectives of an African child from a modest background. Another was the crisis in the early 2000s, where many lost their jobs & many of my friends were kicked out of their rented homes
I've noticed how very easy it is for young folks here to get swayed by popular folks and how they “yass queen, yass king” to every thread that sounds complex & fancy. And MOST times, the writers don’t share the same background with you nor know your realities. Hence this thread.

Please, I beg you, make sure you are comfortable enough to eject all forms of poverty MENTALITY before you date or get married, so you won't have to be arguing over silly things like washing of pant. Laundry has evolved beyond literal washing. And anyone, man or woman, can do it.
Having said that, nothing justifies washing pant on national TV. And its not about a man doing it. Nothing even justifies washing your own underwear publicly on nationalTV. Neither should it be a focus of public discussion. They are underwears. Somethings are better left private.
Many people in BBN have done their laundries since the several weeks they've been there without making it public or it being a topic of discussion - because it was done as it should be. Both Nengi, Vee and Neo making it public, either by intention or omission, is ridiculous.
