Not less than 1,500 Nigerians are to benefit from the free eye screening and diabetes screening planned by the Lions Clubs Region 7 to be held in seven designated centres and 700 of those screened will get free eye-glasses, while 70 will enjoy free cataract operations, in a programme designed to honour the former President of Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers (NCRIB) Taslim Sanusi.

Also, a considerable number of people will enjoy free diabetes screening and will get free drugs and counseling from Saturday, December 8, 2012 at the world-class Diabetes Centre at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), Ikeja. The eye screening will be held at the Eye Centre and Eye Bank at Ota, Ogun State.

The birthday tagged ‘Giving Service a Meaning at 70’ will kick-off on Friday, Dec. 7, 2012 with a jumat service at the Ota Central Mosque, Ota, Ogun State and church service at on Sunday, Dec. 9. Free eye screening kicks-off as follows at Ota on Saturday, Dec. 8; Alausa, Ikeja on Monday, Dec. 10; Baptist/AUD Schools, Ota on Wednesday, Dec. 12 and at Iju Ota on Monday, Dec. 17.

Free diabetes screening and drugs will be held at Ilupeju Lions Club Diabetes Clinic LASUTH, Ikeja on Thursday, Dec. 13. The grand finale is on Sunday, Dec 23 when free eye-glasses will be given out and the presentation of a biography on Dr. Sanusi entitled Dr. T. A. Sanusi: The Odyssey of an Ordained Trojan.

These services aimed at uplifting humanity’s quality of life are the club’s contributions to activities outlined to mark the 70^{th birthday of a former District Governor 404B Nigeria, Lion (Dr.) Teslim Sanusi who built and equipped the Diabetes Centre at LASUTH and the Eye Centre, as president of Ilupeju Lions Club and District Governor respectively.}

^{Chairman of the Lions Club Lion Teslim Sanusi Birthday Committee, Otunba TAK Oloyede said Dr. Sanusi is a modest and God fearing personality and a Lions Club leader who has contributed immensely to uplifting the less-privileged in the society.

He has, therefore, decided to open a new chapter in the way Nigerians celebrate their moment of joy, hence he opted to provide service to Nigerians in need because holding an elaborate ceremony would amount to giving to people who already have enough to eat, Oloyede added.

"There are thousands of people out there who are losing their sights daily and several dying of diabetes. They could have been saved if they had the kind of opportunity I am now offering. Government cannot do it all alone because its resources are overstretched. Some of us who are modestly blessed should rise and put smiles on the faces of fellow humans who are less privileged due to no fault of theirs," Oloyede quoted Sanusi as saying.

A member of the Ilupeju Lions Club since 1993, Sanusi was elected the Millennium Club President in 2000 and at the national convention of the club in 2006 in Akure, he was elected the District 404B Governor. The hallmark of his tenure as President of Ilupeju Lions Club was the construction and equipping of a Diabetes Clinic at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LASUTH, Ikeja, Lagos. As District Governor, he went a step further by constructing and equipping an Eye Centre and Eye Bank at Otta, Ogun State.

A distinguished insurance broker who was the immediate past president of the Nigerian Council of Registered Insurance Brokers was born on December 23, 1942 in Erin-Ile and had his primary education at Baptist School, Kaduna and secondary education at the Eastern Academy, Onitsha in the former Eastern Region.

He is the Managing Director of Cosmic Insurance Brokers Limited which he founded in November 1982. The highflying firm was 30 years old last month. Sanusi is married and has children and grandchildren.}

Casino and Gaming Insurance

Anyone who operates or is considering opening up a casino or gaming establishment, requires insurance. As an online gambler, it is important that you play at a gambling establishment that follows reputable business practices. The best casinos are those that do not just protect their customers, but also protects themselves.

If you’re going to gamble online, you need to make sure that you choose a high-quality site like PlayMillion.com. Leading virtual casinos in the online gambling industry provide players with a secure and fair gaming environment. At PlayMillion, Players can enjoy 24/7 customer support, a multi-lingual platform, a VIP Lounge, a variety of promotions, and a truly generous signup bonus.

Customers of this internet casino brand can also enjoy great games like Caribbean Poker. This is an exciting card game and an interesting poker variant. Unlike other variants of this popular card game, while this version is similar to five-card stud, your opponent is the house, not the other players. Online Caribbean Stud is an exciting way to experience poker quickly and conveniently, whenever you want.

What else do you need to know about casinos and insurance? Unless you are a casino operator, there really isn’t anything else you need to think about. Essentially, when you are a player you need to concentrate on creating your own personal insurance to yourself. In other words, you need to make sure that you create a gambling budget and that you stick to it. Once you create a bankroll, your goal should never be to deplete it. This makes certain that you will always have money with which you can play. Equally, you should set yourself winning and losing limits, so you know when to call it a day.
