Insurance Companies in Nigeria

Ever heard the saying: “No one knows tomorrow”? That statement is the reason why we have insurance companies in the world today. There are many insurance companies in Nigeria; each one of them with their different packages and policies which they use to attract customers to buy their policies.
The fact remains – Nigerians do not care about insurance; they believe that God will save them from all unforeseen circumstances; while I don’t dispute this, it is unarguable that insurance companies come in very handy when or if something bad were ever to happen, they also help you keep money for your children’s education, assure your life, insure your house, business among numerous other benefits.
Buying an insurance policy for one reason or the other is never a bad idea; however, buying it from the wrong insurance company is a terrible idea. There are many dogs looking for food in the name of insurance, so you better be careful so you don’t fall a victim.
