    Bravo!!!!
    What an incredible job.
    Kudos to the agency Officers and Men for being proactive and also ahead of the barons in tactics and antics. May the Lord Almighty continue to protect them in this wonderful assignment of eliminating illicit substances in and out of the country. Drug abuse and trafficking is a menace that must be fought wholeheartedly by all the stakeholders.

Jane joke,” replied Rock. “Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth,” Smith repeated as the audience went silent, according to people present. Jada Pinkett Smith’s appearance is as a resul...

*Let's Laugh a Little* A little Boy wanted $5000 so he prayed for weeks, but nothing happened. Finally he decided to write a letter to God requesting for the $5000   When the post office staff received the letter addressed to God, they decided to forward the letter to the President's  Office.

Again the post office sent the letter to the President's Office.  President reads the letter, which says: "Dear God, Thank you very much for sending the money.
