Madam Nightnigeria1, please you have caused a lot of confusion. If indeed this is what you meant , then explain the following:

1. Why did you delete ALL your earlier posts and DISAPPEAR off the thread when you got called out?
2. You said 'If My visa is approved Im sticking to El Paso' - how can that possibly mean upon entry? You will stick to El Paso upon entry? But won't you already physically BE at El Paso airport before you even talk of scaling through POE?? Or what do you mean? If you get to El Paso and you don't get through POE, you will change your mind to use another hospital in another state?? Hmmmm

This doesn't seem to add up at all angry Please clarify if indeed you made a mistake.


Nightnigeria1:


My husband just corrected me, we are approved and meant upon entry. My sorry for confusion.

Or perhaps you could also just open a bank account, all they asked me was prove of ID (2) wc was my international pp and d other was my bank card from 9ja as the lady said she just needed something with my name on it. They didn't require prove of address or anything like that as I just gave her my friend's address verbatim, and that was it. I got my cheque books that day and my card came in about 7-10 working days, but of course you go still hold some cash on you to spend pending while your card arrives +\- depend on you 9ja issued bank cards.

thanks for this information, quite helpful.

That's how I called MIHS o and Francesca said she's not sure I'd be eligible for the old price since I booked my financials on the very same day they got an email that they should stop booking. That I should call back next week when her Oga is around to know my status. Chai cry cry

Phema: @MerryMom: You will agree with me that Doctores Para Ti isn't amongst those hospitals that have their hands full. They want more clients. You think their "excellent" communication is for nothing? Lol. Babe, abeg forget matter. We know every.

Like I said, their services might be top notch. But one wonders why the aggresive marketing if they are as good as they claim to be.

And yes, I have not seen any one marketing MIHS. They just give their reviews. There is a huge difference between looking for company or flat mate and falsely marketing a hospital and in the process discrediting another hospital. That is just plain fraudulent.

Anyways, to each his own jare. So far we all have healthy babies and return home safe and sound.

@phema, you have forgotten that doctoresparati is not a hospital..... They are more like agents. So yes, they want more clients, even if they cater for medical needs, it's also a business, so hence the "excellent"communication skills which shouldn't be used against them. So of course they want more clients, doesn't mean they are not genuine, only that they have crappy marketers. And don't forget this is a public forum, lots of jobless people come here, get info, may go to their site and learn of the 200$ referral fee. Trust me, it's very possible. MIHS no they give referral fee na, so nobody go won do marketing.

This thread is one of the most matured and resourceful threads on NL. From reading from page 1 to now any one would know that both MIHS and Del Sol are great hospitals. Maybe both hospitals get agents to market for them, may they do not. I do not know and I do not think it really is much of an issue because at the end of the day, our decision on the choice of a hospital would not only be based on ' just some agent' but on extensive research, testimonials (trust me u can tell a real testimonial from a fake over time),power of your pocket amongst other things.

We all have our reason for doing what we do even the agents(if there are). All these things na distractions cos let's face it, as with everything in life, there would always be black sheeps.(if you check am..inside your family one bad egg must dey). But they have not stopped us from achieving what we want to achieve or getting to where we are today. So let's sheath our swords(if there ever was any drawn) And go back the business of the day.

Nothing is cast in stone, if it were by the type of hospital Micheal Jackson would still be alive today and maybe Joan Rivers too. Let's just keep praying to God (or whatever deity we believe in) that our choices are the right ones and that our experiences would be grande

Woman you should cover your face in shame for concocting such story. Instead of staying remorseful you are looking for more lies to cover your track. How does getting a VISA relate with Point of Entry? . Better keep quiet and let the sleeping dog lie.Its a faceless forum so i expect such story for the Gods. grin grin grin. See drama.

Tnx santa2
I tire o. The first time I came on the thread, it was serious misunderstand at this same agent issue. I think once a point is made, the normal discuss should continue. We have been on this issue since morning or afternoon leaving mode important things aside. What if the night Nigeria lady is not an agent and she made a mistake with what she wrote and what if she is an agent? Pls I think we sud move on cos I still ve a lot to learn and jot down.

And for those who insult people stylishly here, diaries God and na 3d God dey use watch unable. My opinion Pls, u don't ve to respond to questions if u don't wish to instead of saying read pages 1-168, ki lo de? No be by force to answer questions O, No be everybody get time to dey read like that na. And to those who took their time to help out , may the good Lord bless u. If we knew everything, nobody go dey here. Pls moving forward....

You could have just called me out, you know. . . undecided

So telling people to read is an insult? Even if that is the solution to their problems? You think anyone here has got time? You think people here just lay around waiting for people to come ask same questions all over again? Most people here are mothers and fathers who have a life outside Nairaland, but we still make out time for things that are important to us. If this is truly important to anyone, he would read! Then he will be better equipped and can even help other people.

When you are done with the basics, you can then ask some specific questions and it will be easier to help. How does one start helping someone that says "I want to have a baby in the US, what are the procedures". That means he wants us to repeat the whole 168 pages all over again? Ain't we meant to be moving forward?

Anyways, I've given my own solution to the poster's problem. If you think that is "stylishly insulting people", please give yours. kiss

Oh oh! You practically just reiterated what I said. My reply was to MerryMom who said Doctores Para Ti have got their hands full and I begged to differ. And no, the "excellent" communication was not meant to be used against them. That was just to buttress the point that they do need patients.

Again, I've got no qualms with Doctores Para Ti or their services. Like I said, some trusted veterans on this thread have recommended them. What I however have a problem with is their aggressive marketing and downgrading of another hospital just because of their selfish gains. It's just too unethical and appalling.

Tvegas: No madam,i dont agree with you.Lives are involved so we should come together to condemn anyone who uses lie to market such sensitive matter. I dont have anything against Del sol or wherever people go but people should not be sold with lies that's all. The purpose of the thread is to give information,not to mislead people.

If this is one of the tales you've been told then forget it. There are no spanish citizens birthing in El paso or phoenix. What you have are Hispanics/Latinos/Mexicans some of them are corrupt and criminal minded than we are but spanish happens to be their lingua franca.

Mention names of those who have lied to market MIHS and i will call them out right now. NIghtnigeria1 posts has suddenly disappeared from this thread so if i have succeeded in [b]killing him or her here its fair game.[/b]





I removed those posts.

You see. . . You did that even with your busy schedule, cos it was important to you right? I pointed out pages to people that asked specific questions. But for any one asking general questions, all I've got to offer is a pen and paper. smiley

@mabels: please asking you to read past threads is not an insult ma. Nobody has the time. We are all busy people.The problem with us is that we don't want to read we want "Questions and answers made easy". Asking you to read past threads is for your own interest. It makes you grounded and able to advise others. So its better for you in the long run even if you don't have the time....at your relaxation time read the thread.

Hello Everyone and Happy Sallah too. Its nice to see that the "marketing" issue has cooled down. Lol. anyway, as a sign of courtesy & respect for all the contributors on this thread, any new person on the block should actually read thru b4 asking asking questions. If you read half of the pages sef, u'll get most of the general info you need.
When I found out about this thread, I read all the pages. Took me about a week but I did it anyway (130pgs) and I still continue to keep up even though am not currently in need of all the info. I also copy and save useful info on my phone/computer so that when the time comes I'm on point.
We are all busy yet we find the time to answer questions and help others therefore it is unfair to ask people to repeat themselves or answer questions afresh just because you think you are too busy to read. When you do your due diligence and you ask specific, informed, up-to-date questions, someone on this thread will surely answer you promptly..
If you are too busy to read then you are to big to be on nairaland, therz this woman that advertised on linda ikeji's blog some months ago, childbirth services (yes I read thru her entire website) she charges abt $300-$700 just to advise those that are too busy to read abt the process. I won't be surprised if she comes to this thread to gather info free of charge and then charges "busy" pple cool dollars for the same info.
Please do your due dilligence and don't complain when pple call you out when you don't. We are all here to help but youu too help yourself naa.
Oya, I am waiting for those that will abuse me...

Madam weldone o, 3 boys isn't beans. The problem i have with this approach is that those who dont take their time to read through,always come back to ask repeated questions and stress people out. Lets make reading through the rite of passage for newcomers. When i joined this page i read, copied and paste so much that my wife named me "Mr Nairaland" but am the better for it. About that woman on Linda Ikeji,i am sure she got some of her info here. Infact i told one of my Guru friends to start the same business and make me an investor but she never agree. grin

@lizcom and bloggerina

We see, read and interpret things differently,I wud refer not be answered than for someone to tell me read everything. For me It means u no fit read, abeg we no get time. I believe everyone here is busy, I work 8-5 daily and some wkends too + house work and 3 boys. If I took time to read thru it is cos I ve got the time to do that cos am still planning. So it is nt about how busy we are or how not busy bt how urgent an answer is needed. My friend that introduced me to nairaland started following the thread few days to her interview, where is the time to read thru everything. I ve a colleague in new Jersey right now, she went without having any clue and she didn't know abt this thread until 3 days ago, so if I ve info on new jersey hospitals I can point some pages out to her, it ll heavy my mouth to tell her to read everything when I know she needs the info urgently. That my point o.

And thanks phema am good
