My life could have changed for good if not for her anger Nigerian man has recounted the traumatic incident that altered the course of his life. At the tender age of 15, he was on the cusp of an extraordinary opportunity—an invitation to participate in a prestigious game in australia.

A trivial disagreement with his mother over a household chore spiraled into a catastrophe beyond his worst nightmares. I believe the mother's action was pure witchcraft 1 Like

Foreign Affairs / ISREAL and the LIES that made the DIFFERENCE by Matildahenshaw(f): 8:41am On Apr 24 |
Isreal has a long history of lieing through its teeth (like when they killed Shireen Abu Akleh) and the US and its allies in the EU have the history of believing whatever lie Isreal sells. Remember 40 beheaded babies? It was a big fat lie that never happened. It was meant to trigger so much empathy and anger so they can justify the genocide still ongoing. The world ate it up, and even the President of the USA, stood on the podium and repeated this lie saying he saw it with his own eyes (oh sure, something that never happened) https://theintercept.com/2023/12/14/israel-biden-beheaded-babies-false/ Then there is Al shifa hospital where Isreal lied that is Hamas headquaters to justify an indiscriminate invation that killed 100s of people.. What proof did they show the world during? 5 pieces of makeshift weapons and a paper on the wall, claiming Hamas use the wall paper to write list of all the people it has killed. As you would have guessed, the said paper was just a calender containing the different days of the week in arabic. https://www.france24.com/en/tv-shows/truth-or-fake/20231116-idf-claims-to-find-list-of-hamas-names-but-it-s-the-days-of-the-week-in-arabic Then, they claim the intentional targetting of the WCK employees was not deliberate nor intentional and they had thought a terrorist was inside the car. Yet, the WCK shared their cordinates with the IDF before starting the journey, followed the approved route provided by the IDF, informed the IDF when the very first precision missile hit the first car. But, the IDF still use the same precision missile to attack all 3 cars until all 7 people were killed. The killing of this 7 innocent beautiful humans sent more reaction in the west than the 30,000+ palestinians killed so far. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/02/gaza-aid-convoy-strike-what-happened-and-who-were-the-victims Also, the New york times released an Oped about a mass rape that hamas committed on OCT 7. This Oped spread like wildfire. However, the alleged victims cited in that OPED said it never happened, other victims didn't exist, the report itself was written by a formal IDF member, and no scrutiny was done before its release. https://theintercept.com/2024/03/04/nyt-october-7-sexual-violence-kibbutz-beeri/ In addition, Isreal claimed that 12 UNRWA employees supported Hamas in carrying out the attrocities of OCT 7. This was just a day after the ICJ ruling, and was done with the intention to shift public focus. Immediately, the USA, UK, EU, Canada and australia stopped all aids to UNRWA citing that accusation. Its been months and Isreal has provided zero evidence to support this claim, to the extent that many of the countries have resumed the funding to UNRWA because they found that Isreal lied once again. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/22/israeli-allegations-of-unrwa-staff-links-to-terrorism-cost-aid-agency-dearly The EU and USA have currently imposed several sanctions on Iran for invoking legitimately article 51 of the UN charter for self defense on Isreal. But this same people have done NOTHING to Isreal except provide lip service while sending billions worth of aids to continue supporting genocide. The Security council resolution has and will always be binding according to the UN charter , but US said it was non binding when it abstained to allow the Ramadan ceasefire pass through. Also, US keep saying they support a 2 state solution, YET they were the only one to Veto the recent UN resolution to admit Palestine as a full member. https://m.economictimes.com/news/international/world-news/our-interpretation-of-unsc-resolution-on-gaza-cease-fire-non-binding-us-state-dept/videoshow/108823766.cms https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/4/19/blatant-aggression-reactions-to-us-veto-of-palestines-un-membership-bid Remember the quote? "for my friends, everything; for my enemies, the law". The level of double standard and hypocrisy is ludicrous. Hamas committed war crimes, Isreal committed 100 times that. If you say the actions of Hamas justifies this disproportionate and collective punishment on Innocent civilians and erasing every infrastructure, then the attrocities done by Isreal for the past 76years also justified october 7. If it doesn't, then the former also doesn't. Humanity First, Differences Later. 6 Likes

Health / Stroke - The Most Powerful Ways To Prevent The Risk by vanb26(m): 7:36pm On Apr 23 |
A. Introduction Stroke, a sudden interruption of blood flow to the brain, is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stroke is responsible for one in ten deaths globally, and it's the second leading cause of disability after Alzheimer's disease. The good news? Many strokes are preventable through healthy lifestyle choices and proactive management of risk factors. This article delves into the world of stroke prevention, empowering you to take charge of your brain health. We'll explore the risk factors, delve into proven preventative strategies, and equip you with resources for a healthier, stroke-free future. Types and Symptoms of Stroke There are two main types of stroke: 1. Ischemic Stroke: This more common type (87% of all strokes) occurs when a blood clot blocks an artery leading to the brain. 2. Hemorrhagic Stroke: This happens when a weakened blood vessel in the brain bursts, causing bleeding. Symptoms of stroke can appear suddenly and vary depending on the affected brain area. Here are some key warning signs to be aware of: * Sudden weakness or numbness of the face, arm, or leg, especially on one side of the body. * Confusion, difficulty speaking or understanding speech. * Vision problems in one or both eyes. * Trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination. * Severe headache with no known cause. If you suspect someone is experiencing a stroke, **BEFAST**: B - Balance: Check if there is a sudden loss of balance or coordination. E - Eyes: Is there vision problems in one or both eyes, such as blurred vision, seeing double, or sudden loss of vision in one eye. F - Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side of their face droop? A - Arms: Can they raise both arms equally? S - Speech: Is their speech slurred or difficult to understand? T - Time: Call emergency services immediately! Don't wait for symptoms to worsen. B. Risk Factors for Stroke Several factors can increase your risk of stroke. Understanding these allows you to target areas for improvement: * High Blood Pressure: This is the single biggest risk factor for stroke. Regular blood pressure monitoring and medication adherence are crucial. * High Cholesterol: Excess LDL ("bad" cholesterol can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing stroke risk. Healthy diet and cholesterol-lowering medications can help. * Diabetes: High blood sugar levels damage blood vessels and nerves, making stroke more likely. Strict diabetes management is essential. * Smoking: Smoking damages blood vessels and increases blood clotting risk. Quitting smoking significantly reduces stroke risk. * Atrial Fibrillation: This irregular heartbeat can cause blood clots to form in the heart and travel to the brain, leading to stroke. Medication and lifestyle changes help manage this condition. * Obesity: Excess weight increases blood pressure and cholesterol, putting you at higher risk. * Sedentary Lifestyle: Regular physical activity improves blood flow and reduces stroke risk. Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. * Unhealthy Diet: A diet high in saturated fat, trans fats, cholesterol, sodium, and added sugar contributes to stroke risk. Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. * Excessive Alcohol Consumption: Heavy alcohol intake can increase blood pressure and stroke risk. Limit alcohol consumption or abstain entirely. * Sleep Apnea: This condition briefly stops breathing during sleep, increasing stroke risk. Treatment for sleep apnea can significantly improve brain health. * Family History: Having a close relative who had a stroke increases your risk. Maintain a healthy lifestyle despite your family history. * Migraines with Aura: These migraines with visual disturbances are associated with a slightly higher stroke risk. Managing migraines and discussing risk with your doctor is important. * Certain Medical Conditions: Conditions like sickle cell disease, vasculitis, and some autoimmune diseases can increase stroke risk. Regular medical care and managing these conditions is crucial. C. Strategies for Stroke Prevention While you can't control all risk factors, you can take proactive steps to significantly reduce your stroke risk. Here are some key strategies: * Manage Your Blood Pressure: Regularly monitor your blood pressure at home and follow your doctor's recommended treatment plan for hypertension. * Control Cholesterol Levels: Get regular blood tests to monitor cholesterol levels. If needed, adopt a healthy diet and consider cholesterol-lowering medications under your doctor's supervision. * Maintain a Healthy Weight: Work with your doctor to achieve a healthy weight for your height and build type. Aim for sustainable weight loss through dietary changes and exercise. * Embrace a Heart-Healthy Diet: Focus on a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein. Limit saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, sodium, and added sugar. Opt for healthy fats like those found in fish, nuts, and avocados. Consider dietary plans like the Mediterranean Diet or DASH diet, which have been shown to reduce stroke risk. * Move Your Body Regularly: Engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, or 75 minutes of vigorous-intensity exercise. Aim for a combination of aerobic exercise, strength training, and balance exercises. Even small increases in physical activity can make a big difference. * Quit Smoking: Smoking is one of the most significant modifiable risk factors for stroke. If you smoke, quitting is the single best thing you can do for your brain health. Talk to your doctor about smoking cessation programs and resources available to help you quit. * Limit Alcohol Consumption: Excessive alcohol consumption can increase blood pressure and stroke risk. Moderate alcohol intake is considered one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men. However, the safest option is to limit alcohol consumption or abstain entirely. * Manage Stress: Chronic stress can contribute to high blood pressure and unhealthy lifestyle choices. Practice stress-management techniques like meditation, yoga, deep breathing exercises, or spending time in nature. * Get Quality Sleep: Aim for 7-8 hours of quality sleep each night. Develop a regular sleep schedule and create a relaxing bedtime routine. Address any underlying sleep disorders, like sleep apnea, which can disrupt sleep and increase stroke risk. * Maintain Regular Medical Checkups: Schedule regular visits with your doctor to monitor your health and identify any potential risk factors. Discuss your stroke risk with your doctor and create a personalized prevention plan. * Manage Existing Medical Conditions: If you have a chronic condition like diabetes, atrial fibrillation, or sleep apnea, work closely with your doctor to manage it effectively. Following your treatment plan and medication regimen can significantly reduce your stroke risk. * Consider Holistic Therapy: This approach emphasizes treating the whole person, considering the interconnectedness of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It aims to address the root cause of an issue, not just the symptoms Additional Tips for Stroke Prevention * Maintain Healthy Oral Hygiene: Studies suggest a possible link between gum disease and stroke risk. Practice good oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and scheduling regular dental checkups. * Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water throughout the day helps regulate blood pressure and overall health. * Limit Processed Foods: Processed foods often contain high amounts of sodium, unhealthy fats, and added sugar, all of which can contribute to stroke risk. Focus on whole, unprocessed foods whenever possible. * Travel Smart: If you're traveling by plane for long distances, be particularly mindful of staying hydrated and getting up and moving around periodically to prevent blood clots. Consider wearing compression stockings for long flights. * Be Sun Safe: Excessive sun exposure can damage blood vessels and increase blood pressure. Protect yourself from the sun with sunscreen, hats, and sunglasses. D. Resources and Support Taking charge of your brain health and adopting these preventative measures empowers you to significantly reduce your stroke risk. Here are some valuable resources to learn more about stroke prevention and connect with support groups: * American Stroke Association: [https://www.stroke.org/en/](https://www.stroke.org/en/) * Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): [https://www.cdc.gov/stroke/index.htm](https://www.cdc.gov/stroke/index.htm) * National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS): [https://www.ninds.nih.gov/](https://www.ninds.nih.gov/) * Stroke Foundation: [https://strokefoundation.org.au/](https://strokefoundation.org.au/) (if you're located in australia) * Kampala Homemade Holistic Herbal Clinic & Therapeutic Center: (https://www.kampalahomemade.com/)(https://www.instagram.com/kampala_homemade/) Remember, even if you have a family history of stroke, a healthy lifestyle can significantly reduce your risk. By making informed choices and taking proactive steps, you can protect your brain health and live a long, healthy life. E. Conclusion Stroke is a serious health condition, but it's largely preventable. By understanding the risk factors, adopting healthy habits, and working with your doctor, you can significantly reduce your chances In Nigeria, Kampala Homemade Holistic Herbal Clinic & Therapeutic Center is outstanding with treating stroke conditions (Call/Chat: 0.7.0.5.9.6.8.1.9.6.2) I hope this was helpful! 1 Like

Nairaland / General / What Do Different Cultures Think About Gambling? by AmandaSilberli: 12:33pm On Apr 21 |
Gambling has long been part of human culture, from continents and societies around the globe. Attitudes towards gambling vary significantly between cultures - while some embrace gambling as entertainment or even social activity, others view it with disdain or distrust. Here we explore these various cultural perspectives on gambling to gain further insights into this centuries-old pastime and understand their responses and behaviors toward it. Cultural Perspectives on Gambling: An Exploration Western Cultures: Gambling has long been accepted and integrated into Western societies' everyday lives, such as those found in countries like the US, UK, and australia where casinos, lotteries, and sports betting are highly popular forms of entertainment. Gambling often serves as a recreational pursuit here - many individuals casually take part during events like Super Bowl or World Series betting for instance! Though gambling in Western cultures remains widespread and widely enjoyed, its widespread availability can lead to addiction and financial hardship for certain individuals - prompting ongoing debate about regulating and overseeing this industry to mitigate any negative repercussions of gaming activities mega888. Eastern Cultures: Contrary to Western attitudes, gambling has historically been perceived in Eastern countries with greater caution or even suspicion. Gambling may even be considered immoral and vice-ridden in countries like China and Japan where traditional values emphasize discipline over chance. Furthermore, any activities perceived to encourage luck or chance could even be frowned upon as violative of traditional values. Although gambling remains taboo within Eastern societies, gambling remains present in various forms. Mahjong, an East Asian tile-based game played for money is popular. Pachinko (a Japanese arcade game with elements of gambling but non-monetary rewards), on the other hand, has elements that may resemble gambling as well. Middle Eastern Cultures: Gambling in many Middle Eastern cultures is forbidden under Islamic law and seen as sinful behavior equating it with "maisir", making gambling illegal throughout many Middle Eastern nations like Saudi Arabia and Iran, for instance. Their laws strictly ban this activity both publicly and privately. But gambling still thrives in the Middle East despite these religious prohibitions; often in secretive or illicit establishments. Furthermore, cultural variations exist across countries like Lebanon and UAE which provide more permissive environments for gaming; they offer luxury casinos catering specifically to wealthy visitors. Indigenous Cultures: Gambling plays an integral role in many indigenous communities worldwide, which often incorporate it as part of spiritual or ceremonial practices to communicate with past ancestors or seek guidance from spirits in this life after death. For these groups, gambling offers more than simply entertainment but is an act that connects directly to religious rituals that seek guidance from spirits residing elsewhere on Earth. For many indigenous groups around the globe, gambling serves not just entertainment purposes but is part of religious or ceremonial practices as well. For some indigenous groups gambling serves spiritual or ceremonial functions within religious or ceremonial contexts when taking part in ritualistic or ceremonial gatherings where chances and skills games may also come together: this allows communication with spirits who guide our worldview or to seek guidance from the spirit realm. However commercial gambling introduced by outside influences has caused mixed responses in indigenous communities. While some have welcomed it as a source of revenue and economic development, others have experienced adverse side effects including addiction, crime, and disintegration of traditional values. Conclusions: Cultural attitudes regarding gambling vary among societies that embrace or oppose it, from viewing it as harmless entertainment, morality or tradition-related considerations and tradition being central elements in people's perception of it; understanding these nuances is integral for policymakers, researchers, advocates or those seeking to understand gambling challenges and opportunities within our globalized world - whether gambling is perceived as vice or virtue ultimately depends on its cultural environment in which it takes place. |
