It is with profound gratitude and support, I write to commend  a Honourable member of the National House of Representative, Hon. Yomi Ogunnusi of Ifako/Ijaye Federal Constituency of Lagos State, who moved a motion for a National Policy on Diabetes in Nigeria. It is no longer news that Diabetes mellitus is on the increase in our community. Those of us who work daily creating awareness to prevent this serious chronic condition see the suffering Diabetes brings on individuals and families.

The political declaration of UN high-level meeting on non-communicable diseases (NCDs), held in 2011, committed member states to a comprehensive set of actions to prevent and treat NCDs, with a specific goal to strengthen national multisectoral plans by the end of 2013. The declaration emphasized the need for a whole of government policy response, and recognized that to be effective, national actions need to go beyond the health system to address the social determinants of health and prevent exposure to NCD risk factors that are common to the four major NCDs: Cardiovascular disease (heart disease and stroke), cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and Diabetes. National governments should also collaborate with other sectors in society, such as civil society, academia, and when relevant and appropriate, the private sector. Cost effective interventions are essential to achieve the agreed global target of a 25% reduction in premature NCD mortality by 2025 ( The 25 by 25 goal)

I urge other members of the National Assembly including the senate to give this motion a speedy hearing to ensure that not just National policy for Diabetes is instituted but use of Guidelines be enforced for standardization of treatment and care and incorporating Diabetes into the MDGs come 2015.

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistently high glucose level in the blood. This triggers array of complex health challenges associated with the disorder.

Diabetes disproportionately affects women in many ways. Diabetes can be triggered by events in the womb with the children of mothers who are under or over nourished during pregnancy at greater risk of diabetes in later life. Diabetes in pregnancy also increases the risk of morbidity and mortality for both the mother and infant. As caregivers, women and girls face additional burdens and may lose educational, economic and social opportunities when caring for family members with diabetes.

Girls of marrying age often find it difficult to get a suitor once they declare their status as living with diabetes, a situation which stigmatizes persons with this disorder. Some ladies who have hidden their identity end up having a broken relationship later in life, when their partners discover their status.

It is important to note that nobody made herself to have diabetes; hence people should not be stigmatized, blamed for living with diabetes. Prospective suitors should not look down on ladies because of diabetes. Current knowledge, indicate that this condition can be effectively managed and the individual can live a fulfilled life, have children among many other aspirations of life. Employers should not discriminate against ladies or men because they live with diabetes, they should be rather supported and encouraged to bring out their best.

Man O’ War Bay Training Centre which later became known as Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre is a product of Outward Bound type of Education developed by late Dr Kurt Hahn, a German who later naturalized as a Briton.

He founded the 1^st Outward Bound School in Aberdovey, Wales in 1941. Ten years later, late Dr Alec Dickson, a Briton whose special interest was Community Development founded the Man O’ War Bay Training Centre in 1951 in Victoria, Southern Cameroon. It was given a legal status by an ordinance published in the extra ordinary Gazette No 45 of 10^th August, 1960 and modified by Decree No 38 of December, 1989.

The Citizenship and Leadership Training Centre, an affiliate member of the Outward Bound Organization World Wide which exist in over fifty Countries of the World is the first in Africa and number two in the World.s

The Centre has trained more than 7 million Nigerians from all works of life since its inception 56years ago. The centre is an informal Educational Institution. It uses the challenges found in the environment to confront participants for the purpose of developing the core values of Courage, Trust, Integrity and Compassion for others.

In order to actualize the development of these core values, the centre incorporates the following into its training programs:

-        Character development

-        Adventure and Challenge

-        Compassion and Service

-        Social and Environmental Responsibility

Schools and institutions have had privilege of getting their students enjoy the training curricula of Citizenship and Leadership Centers across the Country. In my University days, we participated actively in NUMOWCHIN (National Union of Man O’ War Clubs In Higher Institution of Nigeria) am umbrella body of  Man O’ War Clubs in Higher institutions in Nigeria, the trainings that members passed through have remain helpful to them either Men or Other Men  alike in their various endeavours of life today. I am planning to do a study on “Benefits of Citizenship and Leadership Training in Current Day Nigeria” For those who have had the privilege and honour to Share the experience, the journey of self discovery, confidence and compassion for others is the key to volunteerism, a spirit which is lacking in our present day Nigeria. Self discipline is lacking amongst youths today. I urge patriots who have had these training to polish themselves and be useful where ever they are. If you still do your routine exercise like the “morning tea” which I still enjoy very much till date after my usual morning jogging, you will be active and smart in whatever area of life you are involve.

                                  Don’t give up the skill, Man O’ War Wee!!
