  • Why do Nigerians Love Running on Vibes?

    How many times have you heard a person say things like “It is well”, “Nothing do you” “No shaking” when you know at the back of your mind that there is absolutely no assurance that something will not do them. I mean, it’s just life, and things happen. So, how can you not be covered?

    This reminds me of the time when I tried to speak to my friend Chinedu about the importance of getting auto insurance, especially with his sub-standard driving skills. He told me right to my face to mind my business and leave auto affairs to men like him, saying “no worry, if e happen, we go run am”. 

    So, imagine my surprise when he called me on a random Sunday afternoon begging to borrow 150K for car repairs as he had just been involved in an accident with a car. I could even hear the third party fuming in the background. I had to ask Chinedu “ Shebi you be man, oya run am now” but apparently neither he or his car could run it. 

    Or is it the time when my sister, the “It is well” warrior, was losing staff to a seasonal flu which made her pay their hospital bills out of pocket? Mama kept on shouting “It is well” with every bill when in reality all was not well and she was losing money. It was just “sorrows sorrows prayers” every time. After the third bill she jazzed up and turned to the health insurance plan I had been telling her about. 

    These experiences have taught me that getting insurance with MyCoverGenius is a decision that requires no second thought.

  • Why Do Nigerians Love Running On Vibes?

    When was the last time you heard someone say “We move!”? Did they really go anywhere after that? Nigerians are very hopeful people; even when something is out of their control, they’ll still fake it like they’re on top of it. So we say a lot of things that sound good but that’s all they’re for – to make us feel good. 

    You’ll see someone in a dire situation and they’ll dust it off and say “God go run am”, when in fact they have no clue what they’re doing. 

    Another one is the less hopeless “any way na way”. You don’t know what to do, but you’ll still do something in hopes that it works. To be fair, we respect the hustling spirit, but sometimes, a plan is necessary.

    The funniest one is the famous “It is well” when all is unwell. Hope is good, but what does “It is well” solve? Nothing. But then, you still have to console yourself when things aren’t good, right?

    The funniest part is that it doesn’t only affect the bad times. Even in the lighthearted social connections we have, this happens. When was the last time you told someone “I’ll get back to you” when you’re in fact just telling them farewell forever? Or when they say “Let me know when you’re around” and you nod in agreement but you both know it’s not happening.

    Another hilarious moment is when someone tells you “We gather dey” but you know deep down that you’re very much alone.

    The truth is, we’re all running on vibes. But we can only take it so far before it starts to get bad. There are certain that just don’t work with vibes. Being Nigerian can be very chaotic, and you need to always have a plan. That’s why you need health insurance for yourself and the people you love. 

    MyCoverGenius lets you buy health insurance for yourself, your business, and the people in your life. For as little as ₦2,500 a month, you can access up to ₦1million in medical coverage, and all you need to do is sign up on their website to get started.

  • 8 Things Nigerians Say When They Have No Plan

    “God go run am”

    We all know the only reason we put it in God’s hands is because we don’t know what to do again.

    “Any way na way”

    A Nigerian who has completely run out of ideas and is running of “God abeg”

    “I dey your back”

    This person is in fact, not at your back.

    “We move”

    When in fact, we’re both aware that we’re not going anywhere.

    “I’ll get back to you”

    If you ask someone for something and they tell you this, just move on. You’re not in their plans.

    “Let me know when you’re around”

    This should be the mantra for people who like to ghost others.

    “It is well”

    People only say this so you don’t have to face the fact that nothing is well and you’re in danger.

    “We gather dey”

    If anyone tells you this, be very much aware that you’re alone.

    It’s okay to run on vibes all the time, but not with your health. And that’s why you need to have health insurance for yourself and the people you love. MyCoverGenius lets you buy health insurance for yourself, your business, and the people in your life. For as little as ₦2,500 a month, you can access up to ₦1million in medical coverage, and all you need to is sign up on their website to get started.
