They will not. Pharmaceutical companies are in business to make profit. And it is more profitable for them to treat and not cure.

Cos you have to keep patronising them instead of them giving you a one time cure.
FamilyRe: Family Problems About Remarrying by Marpol: 8:44am On May 14, 2021
@OP you are not married to her! 3 months is too short a time to mourn and wean yourself from your late wife!

Ask her to leave and give you time to properly heal, get used to not having a wife then consider if you need another woman in your life because she is the one pushing for a relationship presently.

You are just being railroaded into what you are not ready for!

HealthRe: Have You Taken Your COVID-19 Vaccine? I Just Took Mine (Pictures) by Marpol: 5:20pm On Mar 26, 2021
richmond500:
So I took my vaccine today, it was suppose to be two dose.
I took the first dose today, my next appointment is 24/June.

I was told to come report if I experience any uneasy feeling as there are some rumours that the dose causes inflammation of the skin and makes one sick.

So, I'll just observe and tell u guys if its safe to take the vaccine and if u should believe those rumours or not. stay connected.

BTW, I took the AstraZeneca/Oxford dose
Took mine yesterday. Take paracetamol tablets to avoid fever and aches.

No biggie

RomanceRe: My Brother And The Wife Had Sex In My Room, Why Won't She Wash The Sheets? by Marpol: 1:45pm On Feb 15, 2021
Gang90:
So guys it valentine's day, I'm really disgusted, okay I stay in my brothers house, I travelled, I came back around 2:30 I wanted to enter my room but my brother told me wait a while, with my adult mind, I realised they having some couple time, I dropped my bag in the living room and head out.

But I came back to find out the room is scattered and the bedsheet there, a responsible woman should at least wash the bed sheet noting that a grown up Male stays there.

I will be 26 this year, I had not really had sex so all these things imagining a strange woman's bodily fluids in my bedsheet is disgusting. I can take it from the side of my brother but not the wife, she disgusts me honestly, she is not my girlfriend, not my sister, not my wife, not my mother why should she expect I wash her after sex sheets for her or why can't she just pick the sheet immediately and wash it, it could have dried by now. And it really feel awful for me if I try to wash it, honestly.

This is about to be the worst valentine's day for me, I'm planning to head out and rent a room in hotel but who knows most hotel rooms will be disgusting today, what do I do please advice.

I'm hating knowing already, cause if I didn't know it could all not be so dirty to me, now my bed looks so dirty to me and I can't attempt to wash it until at least 24 hours and I will wash it soaked in hot water, I hate nonses just cause my brothers accepts you does not mean everyone in the family sees you as one flesh.
Your problem is not the sex. You dislike your brother's wife.

Just remember you will marry one day and expect your brother to like your wife!
TravelRe: Why Don't We Have These Kind Of Streets In Nigeria? by Marpol: 1:51pm On Nov 23, 2020
@OP, you won't see such clean street in Nigeria because we are dirty people with no cleanliness culture. We think cleanliness is when you wake up bathe, and clean your house but go outside and litter the environment.

Until we start seeing the environment as part of our abode and not for government or unseen forces to keep clean, we will never see this level of cleanliness.

Stop littering and stop dropping waste illegitimately!
RomanceRe: Mother Hates Me And Never Really Cared About Me by Marpol: 4:41pm On Sep 09, 2020
mamagee3:
[color=deeppink]Hi all, ever since I was young, my mother has always hated me and I don't know why.

She never really wants to talk to me. . .she hangs up the phone whenever I call her so that we can talk.

She does not help me in any way, shape or form even when it is obvious that I need help but unlike my younger brother who she helps financially. She vehemently refuses to offer me any help whatsoever. She even says she's not my mother.

When she does want to talk, it seems fake and she just cannot wait to get off the phone.

Please what can I do about this blatant hatred?[/color]
Get money!!!

but wait, malaria kills more than corona in Nigeria
The only reason malaria is treated with kid glove is that it only infects the poor.



What you do not understand is that malaria is not contagious. It's only mosquito that can give you malaria and not human to human!

Hmmm..Don’t even go there. Their eyes dey red for dollars. I have already given up on one Nigerian bank for deducting $22 annually for card maintenance on a domiciliary account. I have severally reported that the card is broken and no longer in use for over 2 years. I think a legal action may settle some of these day-light robberies.

Lassar Fever was called Lassar Fever because of it origin in a village called Lassar. Ebola virus has it origin in a river called Ebola river. The origin of CORONA VIRUS IS IN WUHAN CHINA & INSTEAD OF CALLING IT WUHAN VIRUS A CODE NAME COVID-19 is what the world is calling it. It is a matter of time,we will know the real politics behind WUHAN VIRUS!
But the Spanish flu of 1918 did not originate from Spain.
