Life is Worth More Than One Kobo Per Second

Do you have a health insurance?
How many Nigerians have health insurance?

The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) is for everyone in Nigeria for the provision of health for all. But majority of Nigerians don’t even have a health insurance as they live from hand to mouth as if all that matters most to them is just eat and drink. They careless about their health until they fall ill or have a medical emergency, then they realize our health is our greatest wealth. Only about 4.5 million Nigerians have registered for the NHIS so far since it was established by decree in 1999.

The objectives of the Scheme shall be to -

(a) ensure that every Nigerian has access to good health care services;

(b) protect families from the financial hardship of huge medical bills;

(c) limit the rise in the cost of health care services; (d) ensure equitable distribution of health care costs among different income groups;

(d) maintain high standard of health care delivery services within the Scheme;.

(f) ensure efficiency in health care services;

(g improve and harness private sector participation in the provision of health care services;

(h) ensure adequate distribution of health facilities within the Federation;

(i) ensure equitable patronage of all levels of health care;

(j) ensure the availability of funds to the health sector for improved services.

The National Health Insurance Scheme will guarantee health for all and will save lives and in fact save majority of the poor who cannot afford to pay medical bills from their meager salaries. To make sure there will be enough funds to execute the National Health Insurance Scheme so that no one is left out, everyone using a mobile phone will contribute just one kobo only from every mobile phone call made to fund the NHIS to pay the health bills of every Nigerian who cannot afford to do so in Nigeria. And I believe that the life of every Nigerian is worth more than one kobo, so all the over 100 million GSM subscribers should be really happy to contribute one kobo from every phone call.

Terrorist Attacks on America Before Osama Bin Laden Was Born : 1920 -2005.

Image
This is a record of all terrorist attacks in America and in countries with American interests and on American Embassies and citizens abroad. Osama bin Laden did not create the demons of terrorism. He is only one of the most diabolical and destructive of them all. The devil is the author of Terrorism in his capacity as the Son of Perdition and the father of chaos. It is very important to clarify these issues for the benefit of those who are ignorant and naive and have been jumping to erroneous conclusions. Terrorist Attacks (within the United States or against Americans abroad) 1920: septa. 16, New York City: TNT bomb planted in unattended horse-drawn wagon exploded on Wall Street opposite House of Morgan , killing 35 people and injuring hundreds more. Bolshevist or anarchist terrorists believed responsible, but crime never solved. 1975 Jan. 24, New York City: bomb set off in historic Fraunces Tavern killed 4 and injured more than 50 people. Puerto Rican nationalist group...

Let Us Talk To Boko Haram - Nigerian Professor

A Commentary Direct Talk and Psychological Accessibility to the Boko Haram Group Is worth the Trial in Nigeria It is now obvious that the nation is now fully plagued by terrorism which is so widespread and monumental that it is hard to unravel. At a time when the Nigerian air is filled with the festivities of Eid al-Adha, the feast of sacrifice, which in a supposed way should involve the slaughter sheep and cattle, and not the near-sacrifice of a son, as in Abraham’s case, but the reverse is the case.Human slaughter is in our face on a daily basis in Nigeria due to the Boko Haram wrath. Violence in Nigeria, a country of more than 150 million with an almost equal split between the Christian south and the Muslim north is affecting public safety and national security. Nothing appears to be stopping the inflammable and untamed-able torment, fear and worry across the country. There appears to be a legitimate state of distress nationally, and the cause of the state of distress is growing d...
