This HMO thing going on is more complex than it looks. So let me do my part. How it actually works, and what needs to be done better.
I had brain surgery in 2022
I did not have health insurance at that time.

Hunger and the Insensitivity of Mr. President
I watched with deep concern the statement made by President Bola Tinubu to the Catholic Bishops who visited his office, that there has always been hunger in Nigeria, even before he was born.
While it is true that hunger has been a part of human life and has existed in our country for decades, such a statement appears insensitive to the plight of the millions of Nigerians who face worsening economic hardship today. More importantly, we must focus on the facts and the measurable outcomes of governance.
Before the present administration assumed office in 2023, an estimated 17 million Nigerians were facing acute food insecurity, primarily caused by insecurity, armed conflict, widespread banditry, and devastating floods. Today, less than three years later, that number has risen to about 35 million Nigerians. Instead of improving the situation, the crisis has worsened significantly under the current administration.
The same trend is evident in poverty. Before this government took office in 2023, Nigeriaโs extreme poverty was estimated at 87 million people. Current projections suggest that this number is approaching 140 million people, making Nigeria home to the largest population of people living in extreme poverty anywhere in the world.
No one disputes that this administration inherited serious challenges. However, leadership is measured not by the challenges inherited but by the results achieved. The government must honestly acknowledge that its response has fallen far short of what the situation demanded, with millions more Nigerians pushed deeper into poverty and hunger.
The combination of persistent insecurity, poor economic management, fiscal indiscipline, wasteful public expenditure, and inadequate investment in productive sectors has compounded the suffering of ordinary Nigerians.
A responsible government must prioritise investment in education, healthcare, agriculture, security, and small businesses while pursuing policies that create jobs, expand production, and lift people out of poverty. That remains my commitment to the Nigerian people.

HOW MUCH DOES IT COST TO BUILD A 3-BEDROOM BUNGALOW IN NIGERIA?
Many people often ask this question, so I decided to provide an estimate based on one of my recent projects.
The cost of building a 3-bedroom bungalow in Nigeria depends on various factors such as your preferences, location, land type, design, and finishing. Therefore, it is not fixed.
In this post, Iโll provide a general overview to guide you.
On average, constructing a standard 3-bedroom bungalow in Nigeria can cost between โฆ15 million and โฆ25 million, depending on the factors mentioned earlier.
Estimated Cost Breakdown
1. Foundation: โฆ2 million to โฆ3.5 million
This covers excavation, sand, cement, iron rods, and labor.
2. Blockwork: โฆ3 million to โฆ4.5 million
Includes block production, mortar, and labor.
3. Roofing: โฆ3.5 million to โฆ6 million
The cost varies based on the roofing material, such as aluminum or stone-coated steel.
4. Plumbing and Electrical: โฆ1.5 million to โฆ3 million
Covers piping, wiring, and installation of fixtures.
5. Finishing: โฆ4 million to โฆ7 million
Includes plastering, painting, tiles, and interior fittings.
This estimate provides a clear picture of what to expect when planning to build a standard 3-bedroom bungalow in Nigeria.
Additionally, you don't need to have all the money in the world before you start. You can do it bit by bit.
