During the year under review, Mr. Francis John's article on "Insurance for Nigerian Politicians, their thugs, aides, staff  etc. Do you have Insurance?"  is adjuged to be the best in the world of articles on Opinion and Politics. Please read and circulate for others to learn 

‘Life Insurance’ and ‘Will’ may be similar and or used interchangeably, as either involves preparing for unforeseen circumstances, not limited to following laid down instructions in a payout or settle prescribed next of kin, family or charity as the situation arises.   Invariably,  family and friends must insist their love ones, politicians or workers must get adequate insurance coverages and write their "wills” before engaging in all services with politicians and political parties.

A party that does not carry life insurance or avails its associates the opportunity to do so is a free gateway to disassociate from the party. Meaning, personnel’s engagements are invaluable and prescribed benefactors of unforeseen circumstances, and casualties are therefore exposed to an irrevocable risk, also harmful to the next of kin, families adding financial constraints at the time of imminent causality.

To guarantee the safety and security of politicians; political parties must include a life insurance policy on appointments and employment contracts.  Where possible, make a mandatory purchase of insurance and ensure "will" declaration accordingly.  By so doing, the party must verify and certified insurance companies and ‘will’ agents; while ensuring the insurance companies and ‘will’ agents conduct a routine enlightenment program within the party and at all levels. This is one way to know if the party value their lives adequately and their respective services.

As a staff, it is right to monitor payment updates, views or review policy quarterly and as needed, anything may befall insurer. Personnel must endeavor to observe the party pays insurance directly with its consent.

Because of the past and ongoing geo-ethnic-religious and political crises and killings, not limited to kidnappings; politicians, staff, aides must as from today vigorously develop an eco-friendly -mutual relationships with their families, friends, business allies, and embrace insurance and "will" culture. This relationship will bring all parties together with an understanding to draw from proceeds and the “Will” to deter emergence of strangers.

It is the responsibility of these politicians, staff or appointees to ask for these services; e.g., with which insurance company is the party associated, to make sure the insurer is in good standing and provides competitive, affordable policy.

Again, as a result of previous examples and unforeseen circumstances, politicians are therefore cautioned, to take advantage of all early warning signs and use it to the latter, most especially for safety and protection.

To all Nigerians (die/kill) not for politicians; but when politicians loot the country’s resources, neither is it shared with you nor the community, it iss instead shared with families, the loot balance is taken abroad to develop someone else country. Nevertheless, stand firmly and bold even when they develop attitude or madness at your request, stand your ground!

Not at this time, no one should accept to be used in committing ritual killings, taking people's lives and burning down properties, regardless of mutual relationship and political inclination. This the usual form of distraction!

These suggestions are a result of many years of recorded and ongoing casualties in developing countries, such as religious, communal and political clashes. 2019 political campaign and poll is not an exception from all these anomalies. Therefore, no eligible person should leave behind burdens and pains on loved ones.

Finally, Nigerians Wise Up! - Life is sweet and precious, enjoy it with family and friends while it last. Get insurance and write a “Will”.

Mind you, if you die during campaign, election crisis, either as a Political thug or otherwise without Insurance or Will "you die for nothing" your family members left behind will suffer. 

Be wise.
