HEPATITIS B IS KILLING MORE NIGERIANS THAN HIV. AND MOST DON’T EVEN KNOW THEY HAVE IT. 🏥
Nigeria has one of the highest Hepatitis B burdens in the world. Over 20 million Nigerians are currently living with chronic Hepatitis B infection. That’s nearly 1 in 10 people. Meanwhile, everyone is running from HIV and Hepatitis B is quietly doing more damage.
HIV kills roughly 1.5 million people globally per year. Hepatitis B kills close to 2 million. It is deadlier. It is more contagious. And it spreads faster.
Hepatitis B is transmitted through blood, unprotected sex, sharing sharp objects like razors, clippers, needles and from mother to child during childbirth. You don’t need to be “reckless” to get it. The barber’s blade. The hospital that cuts corners. The mother who didn’t know she was positive. That’s how entire families carry it without knowing.
And that’s the most dangerous part…NO SYMPTOMS.
Most people with Hepatitis B have zero symptoms for years. Sometimes decades. By the time the body starts showing signs like fatigue, jaundice and abdominal pain . The liver may already be severely damaged. Cirrhosis. Liver cancer. Liver failure. You can be walking around looking healthy, infecting people and dying slowly all at the same time.
But here is where it differs from HIV. THERE IS A VACCINE.
A highly effective, widely available vaccine exists. Three doses and you are protected for life. If you were born before routine vaccination became standard in Nigeria, there’s a real chance you were never covered. There is also antiviral treatment for those already infected. It doesn’t cure it, but it suppresses the virus, protects the liver and reduces transmission dramatically.
So here is what you need to do:
GET TESTED. A simple blood test, the HBsAg test tells you your status. It costs very little. Some hospitals and health campaigns offer it free. You cannot treat what you don’t know you have.
If you test NEGATIVE, get vaccinated immediately. Don’t delay it.
If you test POSITIVE,
see a doctor. You will need liver function tests, viral load monitoring and possibly antiviral therapy. Do not manage this alone.
Tell your family. Hepatitis B is a family disease. If you test positive, your spouse, children and close contacts need to be tested and vaccinated too.
People will openly discuss malaria drugs on this app. But Hepatitis B? Silence. Stigma. Avoidance. That silence is why people are dying preventable deaths every single day in this country.
You owe it to yourself and the people around you to know your status.
Go get tested. Get vaccinated. See a medical practitioner.
Your liver is the only one you have. PROTECT it.👏
Around last year March, I went completely broke infact looking at me you will think I was mad.
I invested all my money into Facebook ads but my account was banned so all the money was gone and someone like me hates begging not because I don't have people to ask for money but because begging or asking for something is difficult for me.
What did I do, I looked for a job in a restaurant. I was given the role of assistant chef and was placed on 50k monthly salary.. This is someone who used to make at least 200k monthly ooo I had to bring my pride down for it.
I worked there for 5 months and before the month ends our salary that will be paid is already finished cause we usually collect provisions on credit and a part from that the work is stressful, you will come by 9 and close when customers stop coming sometimes 12, 1, 2 midnight. On the 5th month I said fvck it.
After collecting my 5th month salary, I paid everyone I was owing and left the company with 30k and that was around September.
I used 15k from the 30k to buy proxy and foreign number and focused fully on my surveys cause I have the knowledge already just funds is what stopped me, then used 7600 to subscribe for X blue tick for one month. I then managed the rest money.
For that month I was focused and before that month run out I made over $150 from surveys, grew my account from 0-300 followers from scratch.
Between that September to now... I turned from someone in the first picture frame to the person in the second picture frame within few months.
Currently I make at least 400k monthly from surveys alone let's not talk about other sources of income I have.
Imagine I didn't summon the courage to leave and was afraid of what will happen to me I won't be here today.
Am not saying you should quit your job ooo but rethink sha.
🤔81-year-old grandmother Ava Estelle was absolutely furious when she learned that two thugs had raped her 18-year-old granddaughter.
She tracked down the unsuspecting ex-convicts… and shot off their testicles.
“This elderly woman spent a week hunting those men down, and when she found them, she took revenge in her own way,” said Melbourne police investigator Evan Delp.
Then she took a taxi to the nearest police station, placed the pistol on the sergeant’s desk, and calmly said:
“These bastards will never rape anyone again, by God.”
Police say convicted rapist and robber Davis Furth, 33, lost both his penis and testicles when the enraged Ava opened fire with a 9mm pistol inside the hotel room where he and his former cellmate Stanley Thomas, 29, had been hiding.
The vigilante grandmother also shot Thomas in the groin, though doctors reportedly managed to save his mutilated penis.
“Thomas technically didn’t lose his manhood,” Detective Delp told reporters, “but according to the doctor I spoke with, he won’t be using it the way he used to.”
“Both men are still in pretty bad shape, but I think they’re just happy to be alive after what happened.”
“Grandma Rambo” began hunting the attackers on August 21 after her granddaughter Debbie was abducted and raped in broad daylight by two knife-wielding criminals.
“When I saw the look on Debbie’s face that night in the hospital, I decided I would punish those bastards myself because I thought the law had become too soft,” recalled the former librarian.
“I wasn’t afraid of them — because I have a gun, and I’ve been shooting all my life. And I’m no fool; I didn’t turn it in when the gun laws changed.”
Using police sketches and her granddaughter Debbie’s description of the attackers, Ava spent seven days wandering through the district where the crime occurred until she spotted the rapists entering a cheap hotel where they were staying.
“I knew it was them the moment I saw them, but I still took photos and went back to Debbie, and she said, ‘Damn right, that’s them,’” the grandmother recalled.
“So I went back to that hotel, found their room, knocked on the door, and as soon as the tall one opened it, I shot him right between the legs — right where it would hurt the most.
Then I walked in and shot the other one while he backed away begging me to spare him.
After that, I went straight to the police station and turned myself in.”
Now bewildered law enforcement officials are trying to decide what to do with the vigilante grandmother.
“What she did was wrong, and she broke the law, but it’s hard to throw an 81-year-old woman in prison,” Delp said.
“Especially when three million people in the city want to elect her mayor.”
Lisa Anderson, a mother from Devon, England, spent £8,000 consuming an entire 200g tub of Johnson's Baby Powder daily for 15 years. Sneaking away to eat it off the back of her hand every 30 minutes.
Lisa Anderson, a 44-year-old mother of five from Devon, said the craving began after the birth of her youngest son when she used powder on him after a bath and felt an overwhelming urge to eat it.
What started as a single moment became a daily compulsion she couldn't stop.
She runs to the bathroom at least 40 times a day to eat powder off the back of her hand, and wakes up four times a night to feed the habit.
She cannot go more than 30 minutes without it. In public she eats mints as a substitute.
She eats only one meal a day, skipping breakfast and lunch to consume powder throughout the day instead.
The longest she has ever gone without it was two days, which she described as the worst time of her life.
Doctors believe she may have PICA syndrome, an eating disorder characterised by compulsive consumption of non-food items, potentially linked to iron deficiency or OCD.
He escaped with unbelievable ease, using the thunder as the perfect decoy.
