Better Life?

...how much you got?

So we know every parent wants to [try and] ensure that their child has a better life than they had…they want to be able to give their children every opportunity possible to make it in this life. To that end a lot of people outside of the US [including the UK] want to have their children in the US…I mean what better way to avail the child of every opportunity there is than to make him /her a citizen of the ‘greatest’ country on earth…right?? Well that’s great but I never really thought about the process until recently. I was talking to a friend who was talking about her cousins, best friends, sisters, nephew [lol okay just kidding]…but anyways she was telling me how this chic came here to have her baby, normal right? Well, I now thought to ask how much the whole process cost...Imagine my shock when she told me ‘upwards of TEN thousand DOLLARS’…someone else said they know someone who spent $20K and has come here to have 2 kids = 40K. To say my jaw hit the floor is an understatement.

Quite frankly, it never even crossed my mind that these people don’t have insurance so they will be paying a bundle…but somehow I never thought it would be that high even though it makes sense that it is cos we all know healthcare is anything but cheap.

Now my own is that how many of YOU, HARD working class people living HERE in America have 10K saved up waiting to be spent?? LOL! When they say people have money in naija they ain’t lying oh. They say there is no middle class in naija and while I’m inclined to agree, sometimes, I have to wonder. These people that are coming to have kids here and spending all this money are around my age oh…no be sey dem get one kain trust fund somewhere oh. These are normal working class ‘average’ Nigerians!! I also heard about this chic that lives in the UK but is coming to have her kid here…again maybe I’m just in the wrong line of business but I don’t think these people are clearing out their bank accounts to come have kids here cos the pikin must chop after hin arrive…no be so?

I also did hear that some come, rack up all these debt, and bounce...LOL!! They have nothing holding them back here and there is no way the hospitals will get their money. Cunny man die! Cunny man bury am!!

It was all rather interesting to me sha
