Sunday Night’s Editorial for ‘Morn’days Mode (SNEMODE…Sneh! Mode)
*Clears throat* Eh eh ehm! Uhm!
Good day Ladies & Gentlemen, Panel of Judges, Accurate time keepers (dem wey go say – ‘Ahh! E too long oo! When I go read am finish sef?’), and of course the countless debaters we come across almost on a daily basis in the line of duty (dem wey no dey gree at all even if na angel come give dem true yans…”I raise leg for una oo!”).
*Laughs* Nah, Just kidding you there! You’re the real MVP, double tuale for the Oga & Madam!! 🙌🙌
STORY! STORY!!…STORY!!! ONCE UPON A TIME!…TIME! TIME!! TIME!!!
So one afternoon at work, I came in on a colleague having a quick lunch (wackis no be crime oo!) and I said to her jokingly “Madam, I see you are paying premium into your stomach…”, she laughed a little trying very hard to hold the food in her mouth from spilling. Moving past her to another desk close by, a second thought of our quick exchange dawned and I thought it best to share it with no other person than you – my padi.
NB: ‘Premium’ is the money/bill you pay on any insurance policy you have (that’s if you ‘have’ any).
Lest I forget, the title of the story is: HYPYP (Have You Paid Your Premium); if you would agree, it somehow sounds like one saying ‘Hi Peep or Hi P.I.P (Partner In Progress)’.
Everyday of our lives and living we pay a variety of premiums, and the funny but serious thing about this is that they all come disguised as different things, such as – Food, Clothes, Rent, Transport Fare, Fuel, School fees, Hospital bills, Light bills, Cooking gas etc just name it, feel free to add any other omitted there too. There’s almost an endless list of things for which we pay premiums for as long as one is alive, hale, hearty & kicking; of course they’re all very important necessities for prosecuting our daily activities, but…and here’s the BIG BUT! (not on your behind though).
We often put behind and do not consider it as top priority paying one very important premium with regard to our personal finances, one which can help to hold it strong at the second tier of the foundational level according to MAF’s Hierarchy of Financial Needs, in the event that the inevitable – death, that most certainly will come to all & unannounced too, happens. This premium if paid can turn out to be the saving device that helps one meet his/her financial needs & those of dependents as well to some great extent based on how much has been set aside for them by the purchase of one or more policies/plans…na shikini money oo! Walahi!
The premium in question here is insurance premium, that which you pay for any of the following:
- Life assurance policies.
- Savings/investment linked policies (to plan future income needs, goals to be met).
- Child(ren) Education policies.
- Car insurance.
- Property insurance
- Travel insurance etc.
What is of important note here is that, with the consistent payment of a considerably small token, you’re able to put up front an assured sum either on a monthly, quarterly, half yearly or yearly basis. This way you can create and as well protect ‘your wealth’ – which could be either your family & loved ones or property, business concerns, goals you plan to meet in xyz number of years, and anything at all you need it for. Give it a thought, but don’t debate for too long. START NOW!!! (or continue from where you stopped).
Let’s switch gears quickly at this point of the journey….
My country people, how una dey oo! Una watch d Presido debate for TV on Saturday? How una see am…i hear say two people disappear unannounced, na true??
There’s many a people (foot soldiers) from a section of the financial services industry that I’m very familiar with – colleagues nationwide – they often appear unannounced too (like angels), and to all peoples as well, but to offer policies/plans with benefits for LIFE, to help you with something ‘importanter’ towards increasing your net worth (dead or alive). They rarely appear blowing sirens all over from a distance neither will they have you forcefully policed about against your wish, nor will they be unnecessarily polite, shining their full dentition & with ready lies or ‘something light’ to sway your conscience while promising you heaven and earth. Unlike how some of our ‘big men & women’ do with their escorts – you know them now! They’re often in the news, even more lately, with our ‘Naija World Cup’ very close at hand…Election! Election! Election!!!
On a second thought, permit me to ask you this question – HYPYP(VC)? (Have You Picked Your PVC?). PVC stands for Permanent Voters Card, It is the tool for decision making on election day oo! It is as well the only legal requirement necessary to pay the premium needed to enshrine the right brand of leadership we truly need in our country. Contrary to widespread opinions of many people, know this now: Your vote will count, but you also have to shine your eye well well & Vote Carefully for the right candidate with whom we can achieve ‘More & Get Something Valuable’ too!
For anything that’s worth having a premium/price has to be paid, in this case it requires what people from the East of Nigeria refer to as ‘akonuche’. There’s really no sense in choosing from two evils when the greater good is very visible, even to the blind, and audible to the deaf likewise. ReaSoN am now!!! In the final analysis dear Family(ies) & Friend(s), whenever you get a message from those ‘insurance angels’ (and my humble self, yours truly😀) with the following words – HYPYP, it only means this;
“Hi Peep or Hi P.I.P, Have You Paid Your Premium?”
It can be a whole lot easier paying it now while you’re still young & youthful at heart, besides it’s very affordable too. Start today…START NOW!!!
To draw the curtains, here’s a little sprinkling of ‘akonuche’:
“Every day is an opportunity to begin anew, it matters not how you stopped, what stopped you, why you stopped…set sail again with new winds from where you are . For the willing one, there is a way…” — Anonymous
The new week is already upon us and it is yours for the taking, I wish you successful dealings and good bounty coming your way.
