BASIC MINIMUM INSURANCE FOR A MARRIED MAN WITH CHILDREN

MINIMUM BASIC INSURANCES TO BE ARRANGED BY A MARRID PERSON BLESSED WITH CHILDREN

A)   Educational provision for the children: No child is worth bringing to life without adequate education. Though many people do all kinds of things with the hope of securing the education of the child. Some people claim they have built or bought a house so that the rent that is generated from it can be used to pay for the education of the child. Some buy bus or buses so that income that come from them can be used to secure the education of the children yet another set of people buy stocks and bonds to secure the education of the children. On the other hand some open bank account to ‘save ‘money for the children education. However when you equate any of the so called protection for children education to life’s major contingencies like disability and death they all fail woefully!

House

In case of permanent disability you may most likely sale the house to bring back the health of the man, In case of death you have left what the child should have to protect other than what would protect the child; that is if the house is not even sold to fight for the man’s life before eventual death. IN Africa here it is not unlikely that family members may seize your property from your hapless widow and children.

BUSES

It is evident that vehicles driven with mouth rarely use fuel. Transportation business is full of uncertainties that some who really invested real money into it have a bloody nose more often than anticipated before they leave the business; you can imagine what would happen to some one with one or two buses. One or two accidents or  even a police or LATSMA trouble would get your little transport tower tumbling into a ready quick sand and would effectively knock out your supposed income from transport business to the wild wind even in short time  not to talk of on a long time.

STOCKS and BONDS

The feet with which most of our stock bigots come out of the murky water of stock crash is still fresh, it is simply a highly risky venture. Though if you are lucky you can make some quick money out of your stock in a short interval but to think that you would use stock to secure the education of your children that would take at least 15 years would be taking you luck too far out of range incase of disability. Most likely your stocks would be melted away to save your life and the same thing in case of untimely death. In fact it may even be sold to do funeral! So where does the education of the child lie in this?

SAVINDS IN BANK

This is the most hopeless to use the current need bank savings to ‘secure’ the education of a child that would span 15 to 18 years! Can you honestly pin-point one man who has ran a savings account diligently for five years without one single unavoidable withdrawal? If you cant for such a short period of 5 years how then do you hope you would use your savings account to plan for the education of your children that would last a long time. It is no doubt that it is the savings accounts that actually go first when disability or death come calling!

EDUCATIONAL INSURANCE

There is no doubt that the only one safe secured and sure way to secure the education of your children is EDUCATIONAL ASSURANCE POLICY. This unique arrangement satisfies the law of successful thrift, successful accumulation and adequate time that inevitably yield the strategic needed income. ST+ SA + AT = NI. Besides it licks the contingency of disability by paying for itself (Self Sustenance) in case of disability. In case of Death it automatically provides the entire insured amount to train the child irrespective of the number of installments you have paid!

B PAY YOURSELF

Every other thing you are expending your money on while going through life, you are paying others; but you would definitely be learning from other people’s mistake by opting to pay yourself by your self. This is because if you allow other people to pay you, you may definitely not be too far from untold sorrow.

What do I mean? While paying everybody else keep some for the old man you would be someday’ if you do not intend to go begging to children, your appointed succeeding manager and others when you are supposed to play big daddy! Pay yourself by organizing an executive retirement plan for your self and spouse alone. No other investment mentioned in A above can help you absolutely to have a retired future other than your EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN

With these two, though there are some other good ones ypou have a firm foundation on your financial security.

IGWEGBE LAWRENCE

ISRALI-PALESTINIAN SETTLEMENT a Leap TO WORLD PEACE

TOWARDS LASTING PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST, POSSIBILITY OF A BROADLY ACCEPTED SETTLEMENT BETWEEN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE.

Though it was not quite clear some twenty five years ago but now it is crystal clear that most Arab dictators used the seemly ‘unsettle able’ dispute between Israel and Palestine, to perpetuate themselves in the office. In fact it appears that, apart from the, understandable position of the Palestinians themselves, that those other Arab dictators incite the Palestinians to pose much more difficult stance as regard peace with Israel. Those Dictators drop a few millions of Dollars here and there in the hands of Palestinian hard elements and the crises continue to gather flame! Mean while the Arab Dictators at their home countries pose as fighters of the ‘OPPORESSED’ Arab! However the big question is who is really the oppressor of the Arab citizens? It is actually the dictators themselves. Can you imagine a country being ruled under a state of emergency for thirty years by one single dictator?

In virtually most Arab states, the dictators suppress individual freedom to the extent that if you dare one single word of discontent at night you would be whisked away and if your family is lucky they would find your body in the desert without head on the other hand if luck ran out of the family you would miss without trace. The women? In most cases their freedom is completely depleted that they may not even have access to quality education and even to the ridiculous restriction that women should not drive a car and a host of other human right issues!

However as the saying goes “You can deceive some people for some time but you cannot deceive all the people all the time” THE ARABS HAVE AWAKEN AND MATCHING FORTH TO SWEET CITIZENS FREEDOM! Recently the president of  Syria, Bashar Al-Assad thought he could divert world attention from the intense discontent going on in Syria to Israel by deceiving  some Palestinians in Syria to ‘free across boarder into Israel when he know that Israel would not permit such rascality but of course the Israeli defense warded off the misguided miscreants and the escapees realizing it was a mad setup by the Syrian dictator and PLO leadership in Syria immediately on getting back to Syria set the PLO office in Syria on fire. Before this wouldn’t have been what the miscreants would have done.  THE ARABS HAVE AWAKENED!

The assessment by president OBAMA that things have changed in the minds of the Arabs and as such that the state of Israel should some how consider the pre-1968 boarder with Palestine as an all time permanent solution to Israeli-Palestine conflict is correct but of course the change in the mind of the Arabs and particularly the Palestinians should and must include recognition of the fact that Israel have a right to existence in the middle East! Once this right of existence is acknowledged by he Palestinian government then I believe it is time that Benjamin Natanyahu and Mahumood Abbas should sit down frankly and with a sprit of give and take and with deep respect for Israel and Palestine security carve out a way to have a redesigned Palestinian / Israeli boarder t5hat is a close as can be to the pre -1968 boarder. President Obama believe that this is possible and I too believe that it is possible and indeed the two leaders should grab this chance to ensure lasting peace in the Middle East and that also means peace in the world.

Concluding all Arabs should ensure that freedom for every body rains in the Arab world. Why? Because freedom not only makes the soul of man top sour but it ultimately brings better development. It is great for the citizens to chose its leader and when he starts to do what no one sent him to do should be shown the way out by their people. With freedom I believe that the kind of money oil has provided for most Arab states is enough to trigger all time industrial revolutions that would further better the lives of the common Arab man on the street.
