Nigerian actors with stable earnings should be willing to pay for insurance. They have so much at stake if any part of their body is disabled.

Though it the family that benefits more from this kind of insurance plan, it is still better. All financial crisis can be taken care of if anything ever goes wrong. It may be one of the most important insurance plans for actor and musicians in Nigeria.

People have resorted to treating themselves at home rather than going to the hospital. This has been known to put more people at risk. Consider what could be lost with home medication and get a health insurance.
