It is very rampant. In the last 10 years, I have lost about 5 relatives and friends to that evil disease. Including 2 cousins. It can be caught through all these dirty restaurants that don't keep good hygiene. The Ministry of health needs to declare a state of emergency on this. Many young people are dying because of this.

this is so true my bro.,

Azazyel:
And many people no dey hear word. I tell people to run away from alcohol especially my patients. Many people who drinking anyhow don't even know they have hepatitis B or C viruses inside them replicating. Alcohol speeds up the damage done by those viruses. B is even milder and can be cleared in some individuals provided they have good immune systems and avoid alcohol but you see that C, it is brutally virulent and can condemn the liver in just few years if it is not detected early. HIV dey learn work for where e dey

Most of them don't even know that you can get that through sexual intercourse

We've all experienced it: you get up to grab something from another room, but once you arrive, you stand there puzzled, unable to recall why you went there in the first place.

This common occurrence can be both amusing and frustrating. But, there's a scientific explanation behind this phenomenon. It's known as the "doorway effect," and understanding it can shed light on how our memory functions in everyday situations.

The doorway effect

The "doorway effect" refers to the tendency to forget what we intended to do after passing through a doorway into a new room. Researchers have found that moving through doorways serves as an "event boundary" in our minds, separating episodes of activity and thereby compartmentalising them.

This means that when you move from one room to another, your brain updates its understanding of the current situation, making it more challenging to retrieve memories formed in a different context.

How our memory works

Our memory is organised into distinct events or episodes. When we enter a new environment, our brain takes in new information and sensory inputs, creating a new "episode." This process helps us manage and organise memories efficiently. However, it can also lead to moments where previously active thoughts or intentions become less accessible after transitioning into a new space.

Factors that influence forgetfulness
Several factors can increase the likelihood of experiencing the doorway effect:

Attention and distraction: If you're multitasking or preoccupied, you're more prone to forgetting your initial intention upon entering a new room.
Complexity of the task: Simple tasks are less likely to be forgotten, whereas more complex intentions may be more susceptible to disruption when moving between spaces.
Similarity of environments: Entering a room that looks very different from the previous one can enhance the doorway effect, as the stark change in context prompts your brain to update its situational model more drastically.
Coping strategies
While the doorway effect is a natural part of how our memory functions, there are ways to mitigate its impact:

Pause and recollect: Before moving to a new room, take a moment to reinforce your intention.
Verbal reminders: Saying your purpose out loud as you move can help solidify the intention in your mind.
Minimise distractions: Focus on the task at hand and try to limit multitasking, especially when transitioning between spaces.

3 Eden Hazard
Chelsea
Eden Hazard celebrates scoring for Chelsea.
Eden Hazard is without a doubt one of the best wingers in Premier League history. The way he would run at the opposition and panic defenders, all while keeping the ball attached to his feet, was something supporters were rarely used to seeing.

However, along with his talent became the dreaded characteristic of apathy. It seemed like his weird secret to being Man of the Match week in, week out was to be an awful trainer. His Chelsea teammate, John Obi-Mikel, gave an honest review of the Belgian and revealed that he had never seen a football player like Hazard on the training pitch:

"The only player I saw that did that and got away with it was Eden Hazard. The laziest footballer I have ever seen in my life. But then, come the weekend, he would produce it and be Man of the Match."

2 Mario Balotelli
Manchester City and Liverpool
Mario Balotelli
'Why always me?'. Mario Balotelli had arrogance you had to sit back and admire. It was weird that someone with that much confidence had such a flippant outlook on football. He didn't really treat it like a job, something you probably should do earning £120,000 a week.

Balotelli would showboat when he wanted, shoot when he wanted and pass when he wanted - it was all up to him. His laziness was personified in a pre-season game against LA Galaxy under Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini. When one-on-one with the keeper, the Italian tried the most outrageous backheel attempt and the ball trickled wide of the post. Mancini was furious, forcing the striker off the field after just 30 minutes.

1 Dimitar Berbatov
Manchester United, Tottenham and Fulham
Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov
Dimitar Berbatov was an effortless footballer, possessing the kind of swagger many lack in the modern game. It was no secret that the Bulgarian didn't like to work hard, and his time as a striker rarely involved any running or pressing. That isn't to say he wasn't putting up the numbers for his clubs though, with Berbatov scoring 94 goals in 299 Premier League games.

When he was scoring outrageous goals and providing incredible link-up play for his teammates, supporters found it hard to look down on his laziness and began to accept it. Berbatov denied any accusations that he never tried hard and pointed out that his lack of hard work was indeed clever.

He said:

"If you were to put it into order of the players who would run in my Tottenham team I would say Jermaine [Defoe], [Robbie] Keane and then probably everybody else - with me behind. But I was running in my head."

6 David Ginola
Newcastle United, Tottenham, Aston Villa and Everton
David Ginola
Running was not David Ginola's best friend. The idea of tracking back and helping his team seemed foreign to the Frenchman, who had successful spells at Newcastle United and Tottenham. Although he won the PFA Player of the Year award in North London, teammates still remained critical of his lack of work off the ball.

His sheer talent overrode any need for criticism surrounding his laziness - but a move to Aston Villa changed that. Manager John Gregory publicly shamed Ginola by calling him 'Mr. Blobby', which sparked a debate about the winger's lack of fitness and genuine passion to play in the Premier League.

5 Nwankwo Kanu
Arsenal, Portsmouth and West Brom

As part of Arsenal's 'Invincibles' squad, it seems harsh to label Nwankwo Kanu as a player who lacked any real fight on the football pitch. There was a reason behind Arsene Wenger's decision to use Kanu as merely a squad player however, and supporters started to realise his lackadaisical playstyle was to the team's detriment.

Kanu became a stroller rather than a sprinter, a choice which led to failed moves to both West Brom and Portsmouth. His 6ft 6' stature also made it difficult for supporters to criticise his leisurely character, with his hold-up play being a key component of his game.

4 Mesut Ozil
Arsenal
Arsenal's Mesut Ozil
Following Arsenal's club-record move for Real Madrid midfielder Mesut Özil, Gunners fans were seen jumping up and down outside the Emirates on Sky Sports. The German treated supporters to some impressive performances and ranked third for most assists in a single Premier League season with 19, behind only Kevin de Bruyne and Thierry Henry.

Ozil never had the greatest body language, often slumping around the field instead of looking at least somewhat energetic. As Arsenal's performance started to take a turn for the worse, fans started to get on their starman's back and questioned his enthusiasm on the pitch. Gary Neville exposed Ozil's playstyle in the 2018 Carabao Cup final against Manchester City, criticising him for giving zero effort.

He said:

"Ozil is walking. Don’t walk. Don’t walk at Wembley. Run."

8 Carlos Tevez
Manchester City, Manchester United and West Ham
Manchester City's Carlos Tevez
In the grand scheme of things, Carlos Tevez wasn't the laziest footballer out there. However, when he became disgruntled or upset, his childish demeanour shone through. His talent was evident, and no lethargic footballer earns big moves to Manchester City, Manchester United and Juventus.

It was training sessions that let the Argentinian striker down. He was said to be a completely different character on and off the pitch. During games, he would show grit and determination, but when those cones were lined out on the pitch for training, he wanted none of it. Former Manchester United teammate Rio Ferdinand revealed Tevez's tendency to go missing when the players were asked to warm up.

He said:

"Carlos in an interesting character. When he was at United, he saved all his energy for the games - he didn't really go over the top at training."

7 Marko Arnautovic
Stoke City and West Ham
Marko Arnautovic of Stoke City celebrates scoring their first goal from the penalty spot
Once dubbed 'the worst player in Europe', Marko Arnautovic started to make a name for himself during his time at Stoke City. He became a reliable forward for the Potters, who were regularly fighting for survival at the bottom of the Premier League.

But, yet again, his pool of talent was overshadowed by his reluctance to work hard. Mark Hughes and David Moyes both had issues with the Austrian's demeanour on the pitch, with his later move to Chinese club, Shanghai Port FC, showing he didn't have the greatest amount of passion for the English game.

10 Emmanuel Adebayor

Emmanuel Adebayor celebrates scoring for Arsenal.
If you take a generalised look at Emmanuel Adebayor's career, you'd say he boasted a decent goalscoring record for some of the biggest clubs in British football history. There's no doubting he was a good striker on his day, but fans began to pick up on his lack of effort during games.

As a 6ft 3' forward, Adebayor felt his job was to just cause a nuisance upfront by winning aerial duel after aerial duel. Both Roberto Mancini and Harry Redknapp started to get frustrated by his half-hearted approach to football, dropping him to the bench on numerous occasions.

9 Adel Taarabt
Queens Park Rangers, Tottenham and Fulham
Adel Taarabt
Adel Taarabt was a player who got fans out of their seats with his slick feet and bags of tricks. A Taarabt compilation looks amazing on the eye, but deep down, he wasn't the most complete of footballers and will be remembered for his wasted potential. He first arrived in the Premier League at Tottenham, where he failed to hit the ground running following a promising move from RC Lens.

However, a move to Queens Park Rangers later on in the Moroccan's career gave him the keys to excel - and excel he did. Loftus Park was treated to moments of magic, but they also felt the full brunt of Taarabt's refusal to track back and press. Harry Redknapp, who couldn't seem to escape these footballing slackers, slammed the midfielder for being too fat during his time in West London.

He said:

"He [Adel Taarabt] played in a reserve game the other day and I could have run about more than he did. I can't protect people who don't want to run and train, and are about three stone overweight."

Thursday Chronicles: The Unwritten Rules Of A Nigerian household

Welcome back to Thursday Chronicles, where we discuss life’s most important issues—like why your parents still believe turning off the fan will cure cold or why the remote disappears the moment you sit down.

Today, we’re tackling something every Nigerian knows but never really talks about: the unwritten rules of a Nigerian household.

1. If You’re the Last Born, Forget Peace
If you’re the last born, you’re automatically the household errand runner. It doesn’t matter if there are five older siblings sitting in the living room, if Mum needs something from the kitchen, guess who she’ll call? You.

And the worst part? Sometimes, she’ll wait until you just got comfortable before calling you. You could be sitting with your plate of jollof rice, about to take your first bite, and she’ll say:

“Toke, come and pass me that remote.”

The remote? The one sitting right next to her?!

2. Nepa Takes Light? Everybody Becomes a Stand-up Comedian
There’s nothing like a power outage to bring out the creativity in Nigerians. The moment NEPA takes light, you’ll hear things like:

“Ah, PHCN don give us blinking light again!”
“NEPA don off am for Baba Tunde, he no pay bill!”
“Oya, bring out the rechargeable lamp!”
And if you live in an area where the transformer blows regularly, just know that you’re in for two weeks of darkness and neighborhood meetings.

3. The Remote Control Belongs to the Head of the House
You can be watching your favorite TV show, enjoying yourself, then your dad walks in and suddenly the channel changes to news.

It doesn’t matter if you were watching for hours—the moment an adult enters, you just surrender the remote. No arguments. No complaints. Just vibes and disappointment.

And don’t even try to change the channel back when they leave. Somehow, they’ll hear it from their room and come back to switch it again.

4. If There’s Meat in the Pot, Say Goodbye to It
Every Nigerian child knows that the meat in the pot is a ticking time bomb. If you’re lucky, you’ll get your fair share. If not, one of your older siblings will say:

“Mummy said I should help her finish it.”

Lies.
Pure deception.
Your mother never said that.

5. Sundays Are for Rice—No Arguments
No matter how much you love pasta, yam, or beans, Sunday is strictly reserved for rice and stew. It has been like this since the beginning of time.

And let’s not forget, if there’s no fried rice or jollof rice on Christmas Day, just know that the family meeting that year was unsuccessful.

6. Once It’s 7 PM, You’re No Longer Hungry
Try telling a Nigerian mother that you’re hungry at night, and you’ll hear:

“Go and drink water.”

Because according to them, hunger doesn’t exist after sunset. No matter how much you explain that you’re starving, the best you’ll get is:

“Did you not eat in the afternoon?”

We Love It Here
Despite these unspoken rules, we wouldn’t trade our Nigerian households for anything. The chaos, the discipline, the humor, and the love—it’s what makes home truly special.

So, if you find yourself fetching the remote for your mum, battling for the last piece of meat, or struggling with sudden nighttime hunger, just remember: it’s all part of the experience.

Until next Thursday, stay strong—and hide your meat well!

I have these random questions I've been reflecting over.. If you have an answer - fine, if not - move on

1: Why were we taught to turn our clothes inside out before spreading/drying
2: Would what we call 'water' still be easily drinkable and accepted if it was Black or in any other colour
3: What makes our blood red
4: Why do we brush before eating and not after.
5: If we can't really see oxygen, how are we sure that's what we breathe
6: What really makes the sperm and breast milk whitish in colour and will it also be acceptable and drinkable if it was Black or any other colour. If you can answer I'll appreciate..
