SHOWING YOURSELF FRIENDLY

If you are highly principled, firm, blunt, strict, disciplined, outspoken, opinionated and goal-focused, do not expect to be very popular. In fact, expect to be unpopular. But know that some of those who regard themselves as your enemies are actually secret admirers! LOL! They hate your guts but somewhat find you intriguing. 

Yet, you need people to succeed in life; the RIGHT kind of people. There are many folks who are best left out in your pursuit of purpose. And there are those who, like Lot to Abraham; Saul, Ahitophel and even Absalom to David; Barnabas, Mark and Demas (to Paul), are in your life for a season, however long their tenure with you, and must yield their place in your life in due time as God takes you into new levels in your Destiny's Quest. Only your spouse should really be certain to you as a "Life Partner"! :-D

Nevertheless, you should not make yourself needlessly repulsive to people. "HE THAT HAS FRIENDS MUST SHOW HIMSELF FRIENDLY" [Proverbs 18:24]. And we can deduce from that Bible passage that he that shows himself friendly shall have friends. 

Below is an article I found very illuminating and which I believe would help you too.

SIX TOXIC BEHAVIORS THAT PUSH PEOPLE AWAY: HOW TO RECOGNIZE THEM IN YOURSELF AND CHANGE

by KATHY CAPRINO

(https://www.linkedin.com/today/post/article/20140620200646-17850276-6-toxic-behaviors-that-push-people-away-how-to-recognize-them-in-yourself-and-change-them?trk=tod-home-art-list-large_0)

In my line of work, I hear from hundreds of people a month, and connect with professionals in a more public, open way than ever before. Through this experience, I've seen scores of toxic behaviors that push people away (including me). And I’ve witnessed the damage these behaviors cause – to relationships, professional success, and to the well-being of both the individual behaving negatively, and to everyone around him or her.

Let’s be real - we’ve all acted in toxic, damaging ways at one time or another (none of us are immune to it), but many people are more evolved, balanced, and aware, and it happens only rarely in their lives.

Whether your toxic behavior is a common occurrence, or once in a blue moon, it’s critical for your happiness and success that you are able to recognize when you’re behaving badly, and shift it when it emerges.

The six most toxic behaviors I see every day are:

* Taking everything personally

In the powerful little book The Four Agreements, don Miguel Ruiz talks about the importance of taking nothing personally. I teach this in my coaching programs and my book Breakdown, Breakthrough as well, and there is so much pushback. “Really, Kathy – don’t take anything personally?”

People are toxic to be around when they believe that everything that happens in life is a direct assault on them or is in some way all about them. The reality is that what people say and do to you is much more about them, than you. People’s reactions to you are about their filters, and their perspectives, wounds and experiences. Whether people think you’re amazing, or believe you’re the worst, again, it’s more about them. I’m not saying we should be narcissists and ignore all feedback. I am saying that so much hurt, disappointment and sadness in our lives comes from our taking things personally when it’s far more productive and healthy to let go of others’ good or bad opinion of you, and to operate with your own heart, intuition and wisdom as your guide. So yes – don’t take anything personally.

* Obsessing about negative thoughts

It’s very hard to be around people who can’t or won’t let go of negativity – when they dwell on and speak incessantly about the terrible things that could happen and have happened, the slights they’ve suffered, and the unfairness of life. These people stubbornly refuse to see the positive side of life and the positive lessons from what’s transpiring. Pessimism is one thing – but remaining perpetually locked in negative thoughts is another. Only seeing the negative, and operating from a view that everything is negative and against you, is a skewed way of thinking and living, and you can change that.

* Treating yourself like a victim

Another toxic behavior is non-stop complaining that fuels your sense of victimization. Believing you’re a victim, that you have no power to exert and no influence on the direction of your life, is a toxic stance that keeps you stuck and small. Working as a therapist with people who’ve suffered terrible trauma in their lives but found the courage to turn it all around, I know that we have access to far more power, authority, and influence over our lives than we initially believe. When you stop whining, and refuse to see yourself as a hapless victim of fate, chance or discrimination, then you’ll find that you are more powerful than you realized, but only if you choose to accept that reality.

* Cruelty - lacking in empathy or putting yourself in others shoes

One of the most toxic and damaging behaviors – cruelty – stems from a total lack of empathy, concern or compassion for others. We see it every day online and in the media – people being devastatingly cruel and destructive to others just because they can. They tear people down online but in a cowardly way, using their anonymity as a weapon. Cruelty, backstabbing, and ripping someone to shreds is toxic, and it hurts you as well as your target. 

I had a powerful learning experience about this a few years ago. I came into the house one day in a nasty mood, and shared a mean, sniping comment to my husband about the way a neighbor was parenting her child through one of his problem phases. In less than 24 hours, that very same issue the parent was dealing with came home to roost in my house, with my child. It was as if the Universe sent me the message that, “Ah, if you want to be cruel and demeaning about someone, we’ll give you the same experience you’ve judged so negatively, so you can learn some compassion.” And I did.

If you find yourself backstabbing and tearing someone else down, stop in your tracks. Dig deep and find compassion in your heart, and realize that we’re all the same.

* Excessive reactivity

An inability to manage your emotions is toxic to everyone around you. We all know these people – men and women who explode over the smallest hiccup or problem. Yelling at the bank teller for the long line, screaming at your assistant for the power point error he made, or losing it with your child for spilling milk on the floor. If you find that you’re overly reactive, losing it at every turn, you need some outside assistance to help you gain control over your emotions and understand what’s at the root of your emotionality. There’s more to it that appears on the surface. An outside perspective – and a new kind of support – is critical.

* Needing constant validation

Finally, people who constantly strive for validation and self-esteem by obsessing about achieving outward measures of success, are exhausting to be around. Those men and women who get caught up in the need to prove their worth over and over, and constantly want to “win” over their colleagues or peers, are toxic and draining.

Overly-attaching to how things have to look and be, and to achieving certain milestones and accomplishments rather than going with life in a more flexible, easy manner, can wear you out and bring everyone else around you down . There is a bigger picture to your life, and it’s not about what you achieve or fail at today. It’s about the journey, the process, the path - what you’re learning and applying, how you’re helping others, and the growing process you allow yourself to engage in.

Stop stressing over the particular outcomes like, “I need that promotion now!” or “My house has to be bigger and more beautiful than my neighbor’s.” Your desperate need to prove your success and build your self-esteem through outer measures of success is (sadly) apparent to everyone but you, and it’s pushing away the very happiness outcomes you’re longing for.

LIFE LESSONS FROM THE BRAZIL-GERMANY FIFA WORLD CUP SEMI-FINAL MATCH

Life Lessons from the Brazil-Germany Semi-Final Match at the FIFA 2014 World Cup:

1. Your Performance Reputation or Track Record is irrelevant. It is not good enough for today.

2. Rehearsals and practice events are helpful but what you actually do on D-Day is what really counts.

3. There is really nothing like an "under-dog" in life. Everyone has a chance to succeed despite the odds.

4. Do not underestimate your opponent.

5. Do not over-rate yourself. Don't believe the hype. There was a top-dog before you who is now referred to as "former...." or "ex-....".

6. You set your own limit. Germany could have scored about 12 goals!

7. Even when you fail, you are not a failure. Thank God. Do like Coach Scolari who held his head high, consoled his players and hugged the German players.

8. In everything, give God thanks. It could have been worse. Do like the Brazilian players who knelt down publicly and worshipped God despite their loss. There is a tomorrow. And you will win ultimately through Christ who leads you in triumph.

Praise God!

THE NIGERIAN MILITARY AND THE RULE OF LAW

Friday (4th of July, 2014) was a very sad day for the Rule of Law in Lagos. Some soldiers ran amok ostensibly to avenge the death of their colleague who was allegedly killed by a bus belonging to LAGBUS. The soldiers harassed innocent citizens, beat up some of them, burnt some buses, caused traffic to be held up for hours on Ikorodu Road and disrupted the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Service throughout the day thereby causing the public untold hardship.

The action of the soldiers is totally unjustifiable. As military men, they need not be told to respect constituted civil authority and how to channel their grievances for appropriate action. Sadly, in what smacks of petty politics, the Minister of State for Defence, Alhaji Musliu Obanikoro, hurriedly issued a statement via his Twitter account denying the culpability of personnel of the Nigeria Army claiming that he had been "fully briefed" about the matter by the Army High Command. The spokesman for the Albati Army Barrack in Ojuelegba, Lagos, where the unruly soldiers are based, was quoted as saying that "area boys" were responsible for the mayhem not soldiers. What investigation was conducted by the Nigeria Army to arrive at such a preposterous conclusion?

Incidents such as this should not be tolerated. Many military personnel seem to believe they are exempted from compliance with the laws of the land. In Lagos, it is common to see military and paramilitary personnel flout the legislation and use the BRT Corridor with impunity. The Governor of Lagos State, Gov. Babatunde Raji Fashola, once caught an Army Colonel being driven in his official vehicle on the BRT lane at CMS Bus stop, Marina.

The National Assembly should wade into the matter and carry out a thorough investigation of the incident. The soldiers who were involved should be identified and severely punished. The message should be clear: no one is above the law.

God bless Nigeria.

Nigeria di fure!

THE DANGEROUS ISLAMIST GAME PLAN OF EMIR SANUSI LAMIDO SANUSI

The Dangerous Islamist Game Plan of Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the new Emir of Kano:

* Reach out to Boko Haram and open conciliatory talks.

** Broker a ceasefire and secure the safe return of the girls abducted from Chibok.

*** Become an instant International Hero having done what President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan could not do or has not done.

**** Stand for election in 2015 as the Presidential Candidate of the Amala/Almajiri "Progressives" Party (APC) having grudgingly allowed himself to be "prevailed upon by millions of patriotic Nigerians to step down as the Emir of Kano so as to save our nation from collapse".

***** As Nigeria's President, implement the Islamisation Agenda which was articulated in the Communique issued at the end of the Islam in Africa Conference organised by the Organisation of Islamic Countries (OIC) held in Abuja in 1989 and which was hosted by former President Ibrahim Badamasi Babangida: THE ABUJA DECLARATION ( http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abuja_Declaration_(1989) )

The Abuja Declarion is the outcome of a conference of the African countries of the OIC in 1989 and launched by a communiqué of the Islam in Africa Organisation (IAO) founded during this conference.

The Islam in Africa Organisation (IAO) is a Nigerian statuted Islamic organisation, an initiative of the Organisation of the Islamic Conference (OIC).

Dr. Usman Muhamad Bugaje is the current Secretary-General of the IAO.

Goals and strategies

The organisation was founded on 28 November 1989 in Abuja,[1] Nigeria, with the goal to win the whole of Africa for Islam. The statutes and goals[2][3] are ratified in 1991 and this marks her formal definitive founding. The founding-communiqué is also called the Abuja Declaration.[4] Startingpoint for the conference is the fact that Africa is the only continent with an Islamic majority and therefore Africa should become completely Islamic.[5]
The plan contains a lot of points that are also common for Christian missionary organisations as relief and economic progression.

A battleplan was composed to Islamise Africa with some less innocent points in that decision:[6]
"To ensure only Muslims are elected to all political posts of member nations".
"To eradicate in all its forms and ramifications all non-Muslim religions in member nations (such religions shall include Christianity, Ahmadiyya and other tribal modes of worship unacceptable to Muslim)." (the word Christianity is underlined in the declaration)
"To ensure the ultimate replacement of all western forms of legal and judicial systems with the sharia in all member nations before then next "Islam in Africa conference."
"To ensure the appointment of only Muslims into strategic national and international posts of member nations."

The execution of this strategy can be recognised in countries like Nigeria, Ethiopia and Sudan. In Nigeria more and more provinces choose for the Sharia leading to heavy protests of Christians, oft resulting in violence and bloodshed to both sides. In Sudan the government chose in 1983 for the Sharia, in 1991 sharpened with death punishment for apostasy from Islam.

Funds: The government of Nigeria has donated 21 billion US-dollar conform an IAO-communiqué [7] as donation to this "Islamic Development Fund".

Organisation

The IAO consists of four main organisations:[8]
the General Shura', the highest authority consisting of 43 members from all over Africa and the Diaspora.
the Executive Comité.
the Secretariat housed at Abuja, (Nigeria).
the Necessary organs to the realisation of the goals.

Countries

The organisation mentions the following countries on its website:

Algeria
Benin
Chad
Egypt
Ethiopia
Eritrea
Kenya
Liberia
Libya
Mali
Mauritania
Marokko
Niger
Nigeria
Sudan
Somalia
South Africa
Tunisia
Zambia

But......

"There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the LORD."
Selah!

I have deliberately not mentioned the name Sanusi Lamido Sanusi in any of my social media posts, comments and in my articles since July, 2013, or so......until today. I was under pressure from my friends in the media to comment when SLS was suspended as the CBN Governor some months ago. I had invitations from Chamberlain Usoh and Chimezie Obi-Iwuagwu of Channels TV to come on their live programmes, Sunrise Daily and Business Morning, respectively, to discuss Sanusi's exit but I told them I would not speak on the matter publicly. Similarly, Mike Eboh of Vanguard newspaper, Sam Diala of the Union newspaper and Boason Omofaye of Bloomberg TV Africa wanted interviews with me but I turned them down.

I have finally spoken today because I have a release in my heart that I am under obligation as a Nigerian patriot to disclose the agenda at play which, sadly, even some who should be spiritually minded are totally ignorant of.

For the reader who does not know me personally, let me say the following to give the issue I have raised here some context:

1. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi WAS my personal friend; we met and became friends in August, 2002, after the CBN's Workshop on the Basle 2 Capital Accord. I was one of the Discussants on the paper which Bode Agusto presented on the Role of Rating Agencies in Basle 2 Accord Implementation. Sanusi made a comment during the Questions and Answers Session which impressed me and I went looking for him after the programme to commend him for his excellent contribution.

2. I was a champion of Sanusi's appointment as the CBN Governor in 2009 and was on Channels TV's Sunrise Daily pushing his candidacy the day he was to appear before the Senate for confirmation

3. Sanusi and I are Old Boys of King's College, Lagos (KC).
He left KC in 1977 while I entered in 1978. I was invited by Atedo Peterside to the Dinner he hosted to celebrate Sanusi's appointment as the CBN Governor in June, 2009, I attended with my wife.

4. It is unusual for KCOBs to oppose themselves openly. Like many KCOBs and some ex-staff of United Bank of Africa who are friends with Sanusi, I could have benefitted immensely from Sanusi by way of appointments and/or contracts if I was sucking up to him and kept mute about all I know about him.

5. One particularly bank CEO (who may be reading this...LOL!!) actually told me when I visited him in November, 2012, that "I no go dey give you job again oh". When I asked why, he said: "You dey fight my Governor - SLS". He then started laughing and claimed he was "joking". He has since stopped picking my phone calls and no longer replies my messages. We used to be quite close.

So... I know the consequences of opposing someone who has some "influence" in today's Nigeria.
BUT I SERVE THE KING OF KINGS AND THE LORD OF LORDS!! Halleluyah!!

6. I cannot be quiet when THE BLOOD OF GIDEON AKALUKA IS CRYING OUT AGAINST SANUSI LAMIDO SANUSI FOR BEING ONE OF THOSE WHO INSTIGATED HIS BEHEADING IN KANO IN 1996. Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was indicted by the Government of Gen. Sani Abacha and was incarcerated in Sokoto Prison for two (2) years for his role in that sadistic murder. His co-accused did not have that privilege. Gen. Abacha got them summarily executed but spared Sanusi because he is a prince of Kano and tmany northern Emirs and other leaders begged that he be spared.

7. I hereby call on the Federal Government of Nigeria to re-open the Gideon Akaluka case by instituting a Judicial Panel of Inquiry to investigate Sanusi Lamido Sanusi's role in that inglorious and satanic episode.

WE MUST HAVE #JusticeForGideonAkaluka.

Let the campaign, protests, marches, prayers, petitions, vigils begin...until we secure JUSTICE FOR GIDEON AKALUKA. Yes, he was murdered in cold-blood in a barbaric and brutal way at the behest of Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi about eighteen (18) years ago; but Gideon Akaluka's widow, children, siblings, other family members, friends and well-wishers deserve justice to get finally get justice and some kind of "compensation" for the irreparable loss of their bread-winner.

IT IS NEVER TOO LATE FOR THE TRUTH TO BE UNVEILED AND JUSTICE DULY METED OUT.

Now, let the honest reader judge whether I am serious, truthful, prejudiced etc.

TRUTH IS ETERNAL. JUSTICE IS SACRED.

Nigeria di fure......but only IF we have the courage to avenge the murder of Gideon Akaluka by Emir Sanusi Lamido Sanusi.

God bless  Nigeria!

 

PRACTICAL MEASURES TO PROTECT SELF AND LOVED ONES AGAINST BOKO HARAM

Some practical measures one must take to protect one's self and loved ones against Boko Haram:

1. If you live in attack-prone cities and towns especially in northern Nigeria, as much as possible, avoid being in crowded public places such as markets, shopping malls, motor parks, and recreational centres. You cannot avoid going to the Church or the Mosque but remain vigilant when you do go. 
2. Know your personal staff such as security guards, house-maids, messengers, cleaners, cooks, drivers, gardeners etc. 

Are they Nigerians? What is their Local Government Council of origin? Who recommended them? Who is their guarantor? Who are their close relatives in your city or town? Do you have copies of their identification documents such as Driver's Licence, National Identity Card or International Passport? Where were they working before you employed them? Why did they leave their former employer? 

If they are non-Nigerian, what is their nationality? Are they legal aliens in Nigeria? Do you have a copy of their Residency Permit? DO NOT EMPLOY ILLEGAL MIGRANTS!

3. Who are your neighbours? Where do they work? If they are self-employed, what business are they involved in? What is their phone number? 

4. Join and participate in the Residents' Association of your neighbourhood. Get the phone numbers of the Association's officers. 

5. Get to know the Divisional Police Officer for your neighbourhood. Get his/her phone numbers and developed a friendly relationship with him/her. 

6. When you go out, watch out for tell-tale signs that something might be amiss: unusually heavy traffic, a restive crowd, someone trailing you, strange people lurking around your home or office, phone calls from strangers who may be stalkers etc. 

7. Make GOD your REFUGE AND STRENGTH. And be not afraid. Trust Him. A horse may be prepared for battle but safety is of the LORD. If you know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, remember that He has promised that He would never leave nor forsake you. He will give His angels charge over you and keep you in all your ways. Praise God! Selah!

God bless Nigeria. 

Nigeria di fure!

 

THE TRAGEDY OF SEED-LESS GRAPES

1. 
   Dr. Mike Murdock is one of my spiritual mentors. I quote him very often and I live by the Jesus Principles which he teaches. For example:
   * "Go to where you are celebrated not where you are tolerated";
   * "Never complain, never complain [he always repeats the phrase. LOL! ], never complain about what you permit";
   * "You do not have a money problem; you have a Wisdom problem".
   
   Hmmm.....amazing Wisdom. I call Dr. Murdock the Solomon of Our Day.
   
   I had the privilege of meeting him in Year 2000 when I was worshipping at Kingsway International Christian Centre, Lagos, and I was assigned as his Protocol Officer during the inaugural Winning Ways Africa hosted by my Senior Pastor, Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo. I met him upon his arrival at the Lagos International Airport and I rode with him in the car to Revival Assembly, Ikeja, where the programme was holding. Dr. Myles Munroe was ministering during the evening session and Dr. Murdock said he could not go to the hotel to rest, as we encouraged him to do, when someone of Dr. Munroe's stature was teaching. He craves Wisdom and will do anything to get it.
   
   The twenty-minute journey from the airport to Revival Assembly was unforgettable. At that time, I was going through a very trying period sequel to the failure of the bid by Pharez to acquire Premier Commercial Bank on behalf of some clients from the Central Bank of Nigeria even after we had successfully raised N618million as the bank's new Share Capital and having done much painstaking work. That is another story which I may tell some day. So I asked Dr. Murdock how he managed to always remain focused and motivated. And how he overcomes disappointment and discouragement. His answer was short and to the point: he always allowed God's Word to abide in him.
   
   Dr. Murdock teaches that there is the Person of Jesus Christ and there is the Principles of Jesus Christ. He says many people reject the Person of Jesus Christ and receive His Principles. And the Principles of Christ still works for them. For example, western nations became successful democracies and developed into prosperous industrial, technological and financial centres because of the influence of Judeo-Christian Ethics on their laws, education, culture and business practices. Those Principles still work for them even though most westerners have rejected God and His Christ and now like to see their society as "post-Christian".
   
   The efficacy of the Principles of Christ is also evident in Asian countries which imbibed them even without accepting the Person of Christ. The Principles are taught daily in western schools, universities and post-graduate institutions such as Harvard Business School, London School of Economics, Wharton Business School, IESE etc.
   
   In Africa, and particularly in Nigeria, many of us have accepted the Person of Jesus Christ. We have made Him our personal Lord, Saviour, King and God. We are born-again. But most of our people are still wallowing in poverty. Many are Heaven-bound but living in earth-hells.
   
   So what is wrong with us? Religion without spirituality. We have a FORM of godliness but without its power. We have the Person of Christ but we do not apply the Principles of Christ....even when we "know" them. We are not DOERS of His Word.
   
   So we are consumers. We are aid-receivers. We are importers. We are buyers. Even when we export, it is primary products we sell: "cash crops" and natural minerals. Even those who gather much (often through theft) do so to keep in Switzerland, United Kingdom, Dubai, Cayman Islands and other tax havens. They do not invest. They do not create employment. They do not create value. They have no posterity. They are as the SEED-LESS GRAPES which have no future.
   
   This Resurrection Day, let us go beyond accepting and celebrating the Person of Jesus Christ. Yes, He is risen and lives forever. He is risen so we may rise. He died to bring many sons to Glory. He should see the travail of His Soul and be satisfied. He will only be satisfied when we imbibe His Principles too and apply them: Justice, Equity, Peace, Knowledge, Understanding, Wisdom, Vision, Creativity, Productivity, Hard-work, Smart-work, Compassion, Empathy, Kindness, Faith, Hope.....and Love.
   
   HAPPY RESURRECTION.
   
   God bless Nigeria.
   
   Nigeria di fure!

THE FOLLY OF KICKING AGAINST THE PRICKS

Today, I write in my office as an ordained Minister of the Gospel: a Teacher and Prophet.

Once again, the satanic purveyors of death and mayhem, who in their delusion actually think they do God service, have struck and sent many to an early grave. Dreams are shattered. Visions are broken. Many are now widows and widowers. Many have become orphaned. Some have been rendered childless. Many have been maimed. Properties have been destroyed. Livelihoods have been wrecked. The future has become bleak for some. Despair has set in. The losses are irreparable. The grief is unbearable. Platitudes cannot suffice.

I mourn with the bereaved. May God, the God of All Comfort and Consolation Himself, grant His succor to the families and friends of the deceased in Jesus' Name. Amen.

The Blood of the Matyrs among the dead shall never be shed in vain. Precious in the LORD's sight is the death of His saints. The seeds sown shall yield increase in due season.
Evidently, Boko Haramites want the world to believe that they are winning. They choose easy, cheap, and vulnerable targets to hit in their murderous rampage to convince us that we should be afraid of them. Fear is really their main tool of terror. They want us to cower and cringe. The want to scar our psyche. But evil never triumphs over good....ultimately. Since God is for us, they cannot be successfully against us. We shall conquer through HIM in Jesus' Name. Amen!

I call on President Goodluck Jonathan  not to be rattled. He must remain resolute knowing that he is waging a righteous war. He must stand firm. He must not be distracted by those opponents who would point at the latest attack as proof that we are losing the war. Our gallant soldiers must be encouraged by all means possible to continue their onslaught against the terrorists. They must be made to know that we are solidly behind them and that their sacrifices are not unnoticed. But the Fifth Columnists among them, if any, must be fished out and duly prosecuted for their treasonable actions. For those soldiers and other security personnel who have paid the ultimate price in the service of their country, their families must be made to feel the love, care, empathy and respect of a grateful people whom their deceased benefactors served as patriots. They must never be forgotten.

The sponsors and financiers of Boko Haram should be scared. Their day of reckoning is nigh. They may run. But they cannot hide. They will grope in gross darkness even at noon-day. Their place shall be as a desert of salt. The land shall vomit them.

It may take time, but they will be exposed and judged......BY GOD HIMSELF. Already, some of them are beginning to see that it is hard to kick against the pricks. That is folly. It is a fearful thing to fall into the Hands of the LORD, the Man of War.
Selah!

He/she who has ears, let him/her her.

God bless Nigeria!

NIGERIA DI FURE!!
