A lady has narrated how she re-discovered herself and decided to make herself happy after a man whom she dated for four years married another woman behind her back, without breaking up with her.
The budding entrepreneur (debbiebarbieskincare), took to Instagram to share her story after acquiring herself a new car.
Read her story below;
Have come to realize life is a journey which everyone must go through everyday to become the best version of who we are. I realized that pain changes everything in our life. At times God use pain to get our attention.
God used pain to remold me. My life journey started experiencing real changes in 2016 when someone I loved n dated for like 4years went on to have an introduction with someone else without breaking up with me. Story for another day… I felt so bitter n angry with life etc, I felt heavy burden on my mind. Bcoz I was holding on to the pain. Then I came across a post online saying “forgiveness is like setting someone free and realizing that person is you”.
At first I was lost cos I didn’t get the message at all then I took my time to understand it then I discover that was angry n hard on myself. So I decided to write down things I’m angry about n also write things I achieved to be a happy pretty girl. I noticed I was angry about four things n I discovered I want a lot of positive things, so I decide to channel all my energy into things I want instead of things I can’t change.
The first on my list*
I want to b an Entrepreneur
I want to be to beautiful
I want to be happy
I want to live life etc
My list might look simple but it wasn’t easy to get any. I’m not there yet but I’m not where I was yesterday. In life change is a constant thing n we are all capable of. I’m glad my Ex left me cause I won’t have discovered the me I’m so much in love with right now. Key words don’t b stock in that dark corner. We don’t all have it figured out but I’m enjoying the process.
The Director General of the Atiku Abubakar Presidential Campaign Organisation, Otunba Gbenga Daniel yesterday revealed why former Anambra State governor, Mr. Peter Obi, was picked as the running mate to the presidential candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
In a statement last night, Daniel said Mr. Obi’s choice was largely influenced by his youthfulness, vast knowledge of global and local economics as well as being a financial expert, all experience which Nigeria is in great need of at this point in time.
“This ticket will be able to steer our nation back on the path of progress, economic prosperity and unity,” Daniel said.
In line with its pre-primary election zoning formula, Atiku yesterday picked ex-Governor Peter Obi as his running mate for the 2019 presidential election.
With the development, the party has returned to the winning formula of the defunct National Party of Nigeria from 1979 to 1983 in which ex-President Shehu Shagari paired with the late former Vice President Alex Ekwueme.
PDP’s zoning of the VP slot to the South East was allegedly designed to woo the Igbo who had been complaining of marginalization.
Since the conclusion of PDP presidential primaries, party leaders have narrowed the choice of vice presidential candidate to the South-West and the South-East.
But Atiku and the party leadership have opted for the South-East in order to address “the marginalization of the zone.”
Already, the PDP has given a copy of the nomination form to Obi to fill with the ex-governor having audience with Atiku at about 5 pm yesterday.
It was also gathered that a South-South governor may be appointed as the Director-General of the Presidential Campaign Organisation of the PDP.
Investigation conducted by our correspondent revealed that the PDP leadership had presented some guidelines to Atiku on how to pick his running mate.
A top source said: “Earlier on Monday, the PDP presented guidelines to Atiku and eventually, it was agreed that ex-Governor Peter Obi fits into the criteria set out.
“The concession of the slot to the South-East was also in line with the wish of Atiku.
“In its power sharing formula, the PDP had conceded the VP slot to the South-East and reneging on the agreement would have been fatal for the party in 2019.
“Apart from being a prudent leader, Obi has rich experience in the private and public sectors which will help him manage the nation’s economy as the Chairman of the National Economic Council (NEC).
“The banking sector, which is the mainstay of the nation’s economy, will have a new lease of life with Obi in charge.
“More importantly, the marginalization of the Igbo was one of the issues which PDP had promised to address.
“Since Ekwueme lost the presidential primaries to ex-President Olusegun Obasanjo, the Igbo have not had a fair share of power at the centre.”
Responding to a question, the source added: “The nomination of Obi will foster the nation’s unity and create a sense of belonging for all tribes.
“It is like a return to the winning formula of the defunct National Party of Nigeria (NPN) between 1979 and 1983. The ultimate objective of PDP is the preservation of the nation’s unity.
“More permutations by the PDP will emerge in the next few weeks. We want to make the election of the PDP a fait accompli with interplay of dynamics.”
At press time, it was gathered that a South-South governor could be appointed as the Director-General of the Presidential Campaign Organization of PDP for 2019 poll.
It was learnt that the said governor is on the verge of completing his second term, a development which has narrowed the choice to Governor Henry Seriake Dickson of Bayelsa State.
But consultations were still ongoing last night on the campaign structure.
A reliable source said: “The thinking in PDP over the DG of the 2019 campaign is to pick a governor from the South-South who is almost completing his second term.
“The idea of the President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki being the DG is out of place because he leads the National Assembly, which is a strategic arm of government. He has a lot at hand; we do not want to distract him or any of the serving governors.
“I think the DG might be a PDP governor who is almost completing his second term in office.”
Although the source was not forthcoming, it was learnt that the Governor of Bayelsa State, Henry Seriake Dickson, might be appointed the DG.
“Dickson played a key role in mobilising support and perfecting strategies which earned Atiku the presidential mandate, “ a member of the National Working Committee of PDP added.
Sweet Boy Association President, and Singer, Folarin Falana, popularly known as Falz, has revealed that he is still single, but not searching.
Speaking to Saturday Beats, He said;
“I am still looking for the right woman, even though I am not really searching for a wife but when the time comes, I would know. When it comes to my ideal lady, I am more concerned about intellect. I want someone that is smart and ambitious; those are my two most important features in a woman.”
Speaking about some of his trademarks like his glasses without the lens, the singer jokingly said to Saturday Beats, “As for my ‘lensless’ glasses, it is the way it was recommended to me without the lens, also, I am very comfortable with my grey beard because it is a symbol of wisdom.”
So far, Falz is the only music artiste with two Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Awards.
Speaking about the feat, he said, “I am equally passionate about movies as I am with my music so I am continuously working in that regard. Having two AMVCA awards is the blessing of the Almighty God and it is not by power or might. I am going to do more on both ends but I am working more on my movie career and next year, I am going to produce my own feature film.
“I do not believe that I am biting more than I can chew, combining my music career with acting because so far, I have been able to chew everything that I have bitten. Nothing has fallen out of my mouth and if that happens, maybe I would stop biting. But for now, I am biting, chewing and swallowing very well.”
Nigerian model, Adetutu has been trending, after she got Rihanna’s attention though the help of some social media users.
Adetutu spoke with Saturday Beats and she’s opened up about her tribal marks.
According to her, she was bullied due to the marks and it’s discouraged her from going for university education.
She said, “I started modelling last year after I came out from my shell or hiding due to my tribal marks. The bullying started in my primary and secondary school days. Due to this, I learnt a skill instead of going to university.
“I was supposed to study law but I decided not to take the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination at all because I was scared of being bullied in the university. I believed that if I attended university, I might end up killing myself.
“Later, I had to ask my parents why they gave me these tribal marks and they told me it was because of our culture and to showcase my beauty.
“I didn’t feature in any of my primary school pictures because of my tribal marks and even though I had friends, I was always like a fifth wheel in the group. An embarrassing day for me was when a client told me to always conceal my tribal marks anytime I came to work with her. She eventually told me that she couldn’t work with me.”
She further disclosed that her tribal marks has made some strangers tell her that she was ugly.
“Sometimes when I walk on the road, people would drag me, only to tell me I am ugly but I always ignore them because some people defend me,” she said.
The Nigerian model also revealed that her baby daddy left her because of her tribal marks. She said;
“One of the reasons the father of my child absconded was because of my tribal marks. He could not be with me in public and he only made us meet at night; we dated for some months in 2008 and I got pregnant in 2009. I bore a girl for him and she will be nine years old this year.
“I felt I was the ugliest girl in the world. I got fed up with relationships because men didn’t always want to go out with me during the day; they would prefer to be with me at night. There was a guy I dated for two years and that was the condition of the relationship, so I had to endure.
“My mum died when I was four years old, so I grew up with a single dad. When I got pregnant, I had to run away from home to a foundation that accommodated me.”
In reaction, some social media users questioned how her baby daddy ‘did it’ with her.
Timi Dakolo has revealed that there was a time he had a heated argument with his wife, and he revealed she blocked him immediately on Whatsapp.
Speaking with Saturday Beats, he said;
“We were having an argument on WhatsApp one day and she blocked me. Immediately, I drove home. When she returned, she said she did not want to drive while she was angry and that she also wanted me to bring my anger home so that we would talk about it. “Human beings fight but whenever we do, it is not ‘sweet’ simply because my wife does not speak Pidgin English. I am from Bayelsa and when people fight (there), they talk in Pidgin English. But when we have misunderstanding and she speaks fluent English, it is always funny to me and so I laugh.”
The singer also disclosed that one of the sweetest things she ever did for him, was to plan a family vacation to one of his favourite spots.
“One of the sweetest things she has done is when she planned a vacation for the whole family, even though I contributed half of the money. My favourite vacation spot is Cape Town, South Africa because I like the scenery,” the singer said.
On his wife’s contribution to his life, Timi Dakolo described her as the calmness in his life.
My wife fixes me and that is the truth. I would love to do everything just like any other creative person but my wife is the one that advises me to make sure I do things one step at a time. “She is my calmness. My favourite place is in my house; it is not just my sitting room but my corner of the bed. I can scatter my books everywhere and still know where everything is, but my wife is not that kind of person. She is the type of person that is organised; she likes when everything is well arranged.
“The secret of my marriage is communication and it is our lifeline. Make your partner your person. Sometimes, it is not love that keeps a relationship but friendship. I can call my wife and tell her that I saw a fine girl and her face could look somehow but we would laugh about it.
“Sometimes when I am heading out, she could joke that I am going to see my girlfriend and we will just laugh about it. On some occasions, I could call her that I would get home late because I would be playing video game with my friends and she would understand” Timi Dakolo.
Chioma has been in the news a whole bunch, just this week… From one news to the other.. The latest claims she broke up with Davido, a rumor both party have said is untrue.
A recent video posted by stylist, Swanky Jerry, shows Chioma and Alex shooting a commercial for a new wig collection..
Apparently, when Chioma turned towards Alex who was filming her, she turned around with a frown.
This fueled speculations that she does not like Alex who happened to be her close friend, Cee-C’s arch rival in Big Brother Naija house.
However, Chioma took to the comment section to dispel those insinuations.
“Can’t some people just be positive for once?” She wrote
“Even If I wasn’t smiling,it wasn’t even intentional. Alex is a sweet girl and I love her spirit..She is always happy. Relax y’all..”, She concluded.
Tragedy struck in Aba, the commercial nerve centre of Abia State as explosion from a pipeline belonging to Pipelines and Product Marketing Company Limited (PPMC), a subsidiary of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC), burnt scores of people, including some unidentified soldiers in the wee hours of yesterday.
There were different accounts of how the explosion occurred, but all the versions of the account from government authorities, pipeline guards, residents and some eyewitnesses had it that the explosion came from a PPMC abandoned pipeline which has been left unattended to for over three years and was all of a sudden used to pump fuel without considering the dangers involved.
As gathered by Saturday Telegraph, the fire outbreak started by 1:30am and affected two communities; Umuimo and Umuaduru all in Osisioma Local Government Area, where the PPMC abandoned pipeline had some leakages. So many families who reside close to the damaged pipeline have been left in unforgettable sorrows as so many members of their families were burnt beyond recognition while others who went to scoop fuel along the abandoned pipeline were roasted right inside the bush.
When Saturday Telegraph visited the site soldiers of the Nigerian Army blocked the scene and prevented everyone including journalists from entering the scene and even warned that no photos of the scene where the dead bodies laid were to be taken until they were through with the search of something very important to them.
After several hours of waiting, the soldiers brought a machine meant for pumping of water which they aimed to use to free the waterlogged portion of the scene in continuation of their search. Within few minutes of the pumping a rifle which many said belong to some suspected soldiers who took part in the fuel scooping either directly or by collecting money from those involved was seen and taken away by the soldiers who immediately allowed newsmen to enter the scene and zoomed off in their cars. On the identity of the victims, Saturday Telegraph gathered that a father and son, a nursing mother who left her two months old baby at home after several warnings from her husband with her friend were burnt by the fire.
Some of the names of the victims identified by family members at the scene include: Eze Onwukwe from Obuzor village, Obinnali Enyinnaya and Uchechi Enyinnaya from Okpokoroala village, Ogadinma Reuben from Umuojima Okereke village, Chukwuma Chimeze from Umuokorogbu and one Alozie Ihunnaya. Speaking to Saturday Telegraph, Mr. Chucks Uzoije, an eyewitness, a pipeline guard and a native of Umuimo, one of the affected communities, said the information on the leakage in the line came over three years ago , but was not attended to. He said:
“The issue of the abandoned pipeline started over three years ago. We got information that there is leakage on the line. We called the authorities and they said it is in the old line which government does not use anymore because there are two lines there. “The one Federal Government is maintaining is different from the one they pumped product into. So, they said they cannot do anything about it because government did not pay them to repair the two lines and that if government wants them to maintain it, the government should dialogue with them because they cannot get money from air to maintain it.
“Unfortunately yesterday, instead of pumping through the pipeline they use to maintain, they now pumped through the abandoned line. Everywhere there is leakage of fuel. Fuel was pumping without direction and only God knows where they were pumping it to. Fuel covered the entire bush and when the fire started, my whole house was burnt. “Everything was gone. When the leakage started, we called the Civil Defence and they came to help us scare people away from scooping, but unfortunately they succeeded in entering and around 4:30AM today (Friday). I didn’t come out with anything.
“I now have only my uniform and my torch light. Two of my tenant burnt and most people came to rush them to hospital. I don’t know if they are alive.” Speaking also on the cause of the incident, Chairman of Osisioma Ngwa Local Government Area, Mr. Benjamin Mgbeahuru, who visited the scenes as well as the hospitals where some survivors are still lying critically burnt, blamed the PPMC for using a pipeline they said was an abandoned one in pumping products without checking its ability. He said: “We have invited the PPMC depot manager more than three times in our security meeting to give us some update on why we are having fire incidents every time along our pipelines, but he has vehemently ignored those invitations.“This line they claimed is an abandoned line, but every time they pump products in there and it catches fire. We must get to the bottom of this time around.”
“This is not the first time. The PPMC and Federal government are not helping us. They don’t come to repair those lines. They claimed it is abandoned, but how do products go in there? This is a very sad period for Osisioma LGA and Abia in general.” A native of Umuaduru who simply gave his name as Sampson said he lost a cousin to the explosion and said his late cousin was warned severely not to go to the site of the leaking pipeline when the news broke out.
“People that died here are more than 50 in number. Some persons carried their people before the soldiers came. Many others died at Umuimo. One of my cousins died here. I was told his mother warned him not to go, but he left unnoticed with wheelbarrow and some gallons. “They have removed their burnt members very early in the morning, but still insist that we must not remove hours because they are looking for something. They beat people with cutlass and chased women away because of whatever they are looking for which most of us suspect must be the guns of their burnt members which they don’t want to get into the wrong hands.”
When contacted about the incident, the state’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mr. Geoffrey Ogbonna, who said he was aware of the incident, assured residents that the police would always be alert in the affected areas to ensure that there was no breakdown of law and order.

The quite lovely photos of a police officer and his wife-to-be have emerged online and one can’t help but love the chemistry between them.
The policeman identified as Abdulganiyu Olalekan Usman released the pre-wedding photos of himself and his woman recently which showed them striking delectable poses for the camera as they get ready to tie the knot.
Olalekan – an Assistant Superintendent of Police officer – is seen with a huge smile on his lips as he towers over his fiance who sits beside him with an apparent look of satisfaction on her face.
A young Nigerian couple who met two years ago while serving their country during the mandatory NYSC scheme, are set to tie the knot, and have shared their love story.
The bride to be, identified as Omowunmi Ayeni, has taken to her Facebook page to share the romantic story of how she met her partner at the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) orientation camp two years ago.
According to Ayeni, she met her husband Oluwagbenga Oluwasegun while preparing for a program in camp – they exchanged numbers and went their separate ways but as fate would have it, they met two years after.
Read the couple’s love story below as narrated by Omowunmi,
“Our Love Story #adventureofgamo. Every finish line of a race is the beginning of a new race. During my NYSC race, which was an amazing and interesting year for me.
I registered in camp to take part in the Marketplace readiness programme organised by Fifth gear plus led by Niyi Adesanya. It was at this programme that a certain gentle man OluwaGbemiga A. OluwaSegun walked up to me and told me I would be doing his wedding souvenirs in the nearest future. We exchanged contacts and went our separate ways.
Two years later, after waiting on God for the right partner, i received an instruction to focus more on other people rather than myself according to Job 42:10. So I obeyed that instruction and created a praying group for three days.
Many weeks after this, OluwaGbemiga A. OluwaSegun from NYSC days called me one evening and said; ‘Omowunmi, I want to marry you’.
I laughed out loud for few seconds… (This was what I had been praying for but I didn’t recognise that my prayer had been answered. I am glad I was hospitable and not rude to him).
So I asked for a date, and that date has led us to #adventureofgamo. We are one step closer… #ourintroduction. Dear all, behold my KING…Song by: Zoe&Grace- I will stay.”

No fewer than 18 Nigerians die hourly from Tuberculosis (TB), the National Tuberculosis, Burulli Ulcer and Leprosy Control Programme (NTBLCP), said on Friday in Lagos.
Mrs Itohowo Uko, the Deputy Directorof NTBLCP in the Federal Ministry of Health, disclosed this at an integrated media parley organised by Breakthrough Action -Nigeria in collaboration with the Health Writers Association of Nigeria (HEWAN) in Lagos.
Uko, who is also a laboratory scientist described tuberculosis as an airborne infectious disease caused by the germ, Mycobacterium Tuberculosis which affects the lungs mainly but may affect any other part of the body.
”According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) 2017 global report, TB is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide and Nigeria is classified among the 14 countries with high burden of TB.
”It is estimated that two out of every 1,000 Nigerians will have TB; 104,940 TB patients representing about 20 per cent of existing patients were notified to the authorities in 2017.
“This means that there is a huge number of TB patients in communities that are not notified.
”No fewer than 18 Nigerians die every hour of TB and one case of untreated TB can infect between 10 and 15 persons per year.
”Nigeria has the sixth highest burden of TB patients globally and first in Africa; of the 104,904 patients notified in 2017, 63 per cent were aged between 15 and 44; the working age group is the most affected,” she said.
Uko said that the statistics were scary and called on all stakeholders to show concern to ensure a Nigeria-free TB, reduce burden, as well as reach zero TB death.
On the dynamics of TB, she said that TB is spread through the air when the person with TB of the lungs coughs, sneezes, sings or talks.
According to her, TB is curable and the patient is not termed as infectious after few weeks of treatment.
”Persistent cough of two weeks or more duration may be due to TB and needs to be further investigated.
Justin Bieber has been truly, genuinely upset following the news of his ex Selena Gomez’s hospitalization and decision to seek treatment for anxiety and depression after.
He’s been photographed out crying twice this week, including just yesterday in the car with his new wife Hailey Baldwin. But even before that, Bieber has been struggling since his courthouse wedding to Baldwin last month, Us Weekly reports.
Regarding Gomez, a source told the outlet that there are definitely still feelings there, even though they’re not romantic, and Bieber really is concerned for her. “Justin still loves Selena a lot, but as a friend and is praying for her,” the source said.
But generally, getting married hasn’t fulfilled Bieber, who feels overwhelmed with everything. “He has so much going for him but he doesn’t feel whole,” a second source close to the singer told the outlet.
Bieber is over fame too, that second source added.
“Justin has become a recluse and a changed person,” the source said. “He has no interest in being a celebrity and an artist. He has withdrawn again, much like he did a couple years ago. He started recording music, but just stopped.”
Earlier today the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) presidential candidate, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, was in a closed-door meeting with Peter Obi at his Asokoro home in Abuja.
Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, after the meeting, picked the former governor of Anambra State, Peter Obi, as his running mate ahead of the 2019 general elections.
Obi emerged the preferred choice of both the party and the candidate after series of consultations by stakeholders in the party and outside it.
It was gathered that Obi’s name and that of Atiku will be sent to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) next week.

A Nigerian man Darren Idongesit, has taken to Facebook to rejoice after receiving news of his abusive father’s death, saying it’s a wonderful news.
Darren said his father, a pastor, was so abusive and left him with physical and emotional scars. He referred to his father as a “Nigerian psychopath” and said he is the “only man that has successfully pissed everyone off in the world.
He wrote:
Phew! I heard a wonderful news today. I think my father is dead.
All I want to do if I ever grabbed a mic at his funeral is to list all the terrible things he did and said about his relatives. I’d also want to promote my revealing book on growing up with a Nigerian psychopath in an alien land with no familiar faces or features, I remember how it felt to be brutally injured in my first experience of northern harmattan. Injury during harmattan is the most painful but then there is the other one which has kept up with me till this day – the emotional scars are more like sores that keep tearing itself apart, banishing the superficial cicatrix and oozing crimson sorrow that nowadays taste like ferrous delight.
Ah well, I hope he saved for his funeral because I don’t think anyone would want to bury that man, the only man that has successfully pissed everyone off in the world.
I am however glad that through his actions my life radically changed and I know now not to treat others badly, I rather be sincere than treacherous, I rather say I don’t like a person to their face than hurt them from behind the curtains.
Through my travails and childhood trauma I want to thank god all mighty donkey-ass for not showing up, if my childhood was sweet, perhaps I’d never have reason to question faith and beliefs and love and marriage and having biological children.
I don’t want marriage, don’t want children, and I want to save for my own funeral which would be a Muslim funeral – wrap me up in white cloth as black would be too spooky, throw the cadaver in a shallow grave not 6 feet but 3, plant N350 mango seedling there so I know at least I was useful one last time to the wild birds of the forest and occasionally a firm branch for a stray person to hang from.
I also want to give away any money I make professionally to charity that would help increase literacy in young girls so they have the power to tell their own stories.
I may have my own opinion of my father, it doesn’t mean others shouldn’t have a different opinion of the man but I strongly believe he is the only person that would die to exorbitant jubilee and champagne pops.

Veteran singer, Djinee is on his feet again and can now walk with only one crutch after surviving a car crash a few months ago.
The singer had been been trying to walk with the aid of two crutches but has now become able to walk using only one.
The music star took to his Twitter page yesterday, to share a video of himself walking again with the aid of one of his crutches.
According to him in his tweet, there has been an immense improvement..
“Day 46 – Yay!!! So today I graduated from using two crutches to using just one. A big leap from about 6+ weeks ago when I was fighting for my life. One thing you learn in situations like this is to celebrate every step no matter how little and maybe mundane to a lot of people,”.
A Taxify driver has narrated how he was beaten by some boys he believed were popular singer, Davido’s boys, yesterday, in Lagos.
A young man identified as Aboderin Casper Abiodun, has taken to his Instagram page @abiodunaboderin, to narrate how he was brutally attacked by hoodlums who he alleged are Davido’s boys on Thursday in the Lekki area of Lagos.
He shared photos narrating how he was battered after the attack and wrote:
“Some things are not just meant to be. I am a taxify driver. I was driving and minding my business along Lekki-phase1 yesterday when I was attacked by some boys which I later confirmed they are Davido’s boys. He claimed that I was driving too slowly for his liking and I was obstructing his drive. I did not argue with him; neither did I try to insult him. It was totally unprovoked. He gave me a punch on my mouth and I started bleeding. He left the scene.
I have never been that confused in my life! I looked towards the direction he went to. I noticed that he was going towards a house painted in white. I went there so as to get a sensible person to talk to and probably make him apologize.
I found out that it was a music studio. But as I was speaking to a man I saw there, the guy came back, saw me and started shouting. Then at the same time, a white Toyota Hilux arrived with about 6 guys.
They beat me to a pulp and broke my bones. They beat me up so much, I could not move my body. They also used their boots to step on me and broke my glasses. Then they chased me out of the place like a common thief.
I could not see clearly to drive myself out of the scene due to my glasses. As I am making this complaint, I am at the hospital receiving treatment. I am in pains and I did nothing to deserve this from these guys.
Afterwards, I saw the first guy who started this troubles with Davido at the balcony of the white house. This made me confirm they were Davido’s boys. These guys think they are above the law? The fact that you are associated with a celebrity does not give you the liberty to beat up seemingly law abiding citizens anyhow, just because you can.
