MY ADVICE: Do something for yourself, for you beloved family. Don’t waste your time talking politics/sports while others are enjoying their lives with money without politics. See how this S.Lanka poor woman became a millionaire just by buying and selling accident cars, very interesting idea. Go to (USED.CO) not dot com, to see the methods and companies that she was using to do that (USED.CO) not dot com, it is a very simple idea but a very powerful One, Wake up Africans

please Prassanna do not ridicule the country for everything .our legal system is that He who asserts the affirmative shall prove the case therefore if prosecution failed to prove the accused shall be acquitted. there is noting wrong in it.
