It is with great sadness that the time has come for me to hang up my playing boots. From my first days at Barca, Arsenal, Barca again, Chelsea, Monaco and Como, I will treasure them all.  From lifting the World Cup, the Euros, to winning everything in England and Spain and nearly all the European trophies, it has been a journey that I’ll never forget. All those who have helped me, my teammates, coaches, directors, presidents, owners, fans and my agent. To all my family, from my parents and my sister to my wife and kids, I cherish your advice, mentorship and guidance. To my opponents who tried to knock me, thank you for making me stronger.  It has already been more than worth it with all the great memories and friends that I have made on the way.  I’ve also learnt 3 languages and became more compassionate and wiser along my travels. I lived experiences that I never thought in a million years I would even come close to. It’s not all sadness though a...

Tottenham striker Harry Kane, 29, wants to join Bayern Munich but the German club's opening offer of £60m plus add-ons for the England captain has been deemed too low and they will need to get to at least £100m to have a chance of completing a deal.  Arsenal have submitted a third bid for 24-year-old West Ham and England midfielder Declan Rice, with the offer made up of an initial £100m and a further £5m in add-ons.  Tottenham are closing in on a £40m deal for Leicester midfielder James Maddison, 26, with the England international set to have a medical on Wednesday. Spain goalkeeper David de Gea, 32, signed a contract extension with Manchester United but the Old Trafford club backed out of the deal and have instead offered him a lower salary than they had originally. Manager Erik ten Hag's uncertainty about De Gea is behind Manchester United's U-turn over a new contract for the Spanish goalkeeper. Porto's need to raise money to meet Financial Fair Play regul...

Arsenal chase cut-price Xavi Simons as PSG lose ground 3 hours ago. L’Équipe report that Xavi Simons is against a return to PSG despite the Ligue 1 Champions looking to activate a €6m buy-back clause in the deal that saw the 20-year-old move to PSV Eindhoven last summer, with Arsenal among the clubs looking to capitalise. Since leaving France Simons’ development, badly stunted at PSG despite the midfielder showing his potential in fleeting first team outings in Paris, has exploded. Although a usually number eight by trade with Paris, a total of 19 league goals made Simons the Eredivisie’s join top scorer this season. He also ranked second for goal creating actions with 1.06 per 90 while 148 progressive carries also placed Simons second in the league according to FBRef, underlining his ability to progress the ball, create chances and score goals. This form has caught the eye of several major clubs as well as PSG. Simons however, is leaning towards a new challenge after a fru...

What Is AIDS? What Is HIV?

Image
AIDS (Acquired immune deficiency syndrome or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is a disease caused by a virus called HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus). The illness alters the immune system, making people much more vulnerable to infections and diseases. This susceptibility worsens as the disease progresses. HIV is found in the body fluids of an infected person (semen and vaginal fluids, blood and breast milk). The virus is passed from one person to another through blood-to-blood and sexual contact. In addition, infected pregnant women can pass HIV to their babies during pregnancy, delivering the baby during childbirth, and through breast feeding. HIV can be transmitted in many ways, such as vaginal, oral sex, anal sex, blood transfusion, and contaminated hypodermic needles. Both the virus and the disease are often referred to together as HIV/AIDS. People with HIV have what is called HIV infection. As a result, some will then develop AIDS. The development of numerous oppor...

HIV/AIDs stigmatizatiion

Image
HIV and AIDS stigmatization is a severe problem that has affected millions of people worldwide.  HIV is a virus that attacks the immune system, leaving those infected open to opportunistic infections that can lead to the development of AIDS, a life-threatening condition.  HIV is primarily spread through sexual contact, sharing of needles, and mother-to-child transmission during childbirth or breastfeeding.  Unfortunately, many people who are infected with HIV face stigmatization from society, which can have significant impacts on their mental and physical well-being. One of the primary impacts of stigmatizing people living with HIV or AIDS is that it can result in discrimination and exclusion, leading to negative impacts on their mental health.  Those infected may feel isolated and ashamed, leading to feelings of anxiety and depression and less likelihood of seeking medical attention and care, which can potentially accelerate their condition....

IMPACT OF SOCIAL MEDIA ON MENTAL HEALTH

Image
Social media has become a significant part of our lives in the past decade, with billions of people using various platforms daily.  However, as its use has grown, so has the discussion of its impact on mental health.  Many studies have been conducted and have shown that social media has both positive and negative effects on mental health.  In my opinion, social media can have a significant adverse impact on mental health. One of the most apparent ways that social media can affect mental health is through its impact on self-esteem.  Social media can create an unrealistic sense of reality, making it challenging to compare ourselves to others and leading to feelings of inadequacy, anxiety, and depression.  Wherever you look on social media, there is always someone with a seemingly better life than you, making it even harder to escape the comparison game. Furthermore, social media can be addictive - constantly checking notifications, refreshi...

Mombasa's Iconic wildlife sculptures were removed from the locations in Mombasa county also known by many as " The Island city" on Wednesday. This follows a row between Mombasa cement which used the sculpture to beautify Mombasa band the county government of Mombasa over a controversial directive ordering the company to stop philanthropic activities at public hospitals in Mombasa. As many express their strong disapproval of the decision made by the county government of Mombasa to discontinue the practices of Mombasa cement. "Yes!" Mombasa cement has done tremendous work on beatification and constantly demonstrated it's commitment in supporting patients by paying their hospital bills,  but I agree with the decision of the county government of Mombasa.
