Igbo Docility Over The Re-arrest Of Nnamdi Kanu Is An Act Of Cowardice

 Igbo Docility Over The Re-arrest Of Nnamdi Kanu Is An Act Of Cowardice

If Mazi Nnamdi Kanu were to be a Northerner, the entirety of Nigeria would have gone up in flames with blood of humans, freely flowing on the streets. The Igbos and Yorubas would have been subjected to all manner of despicable pressures. Those residing in the North, would have been served quit notices. "Baboons and monkeys" would have been soaked in blood. Arewa youths led by Shettima Yerima, would have been laying accusations on non-Northerners especially the Igbos, for orchestrating the arrest. Miyetti Allah, the umbrella body of Fulani Killer herdsmen, would have equally been threatening fire and brimstone in Nigeria. Islamic fundamentalists would have also been dishing out disgusting instructions to their Muslim youths and possibly the almajiris, to burn down and vandalize Igbo owned shops and businesses in their area. The entirety of the radical Islamic world, would have stood still in support of whatever action.

If Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, were to be from the Western part of Nigeria, the whole Yoruba elders would have known no sleep. Nigeria as a county, would have been terribly shaken to its very foundation. The O'odua Peoples Congress (OPC), would have been strenuously working to ensure that he (Kanu), gets released from the dungeon of the Department of State Services (DSS). All the markets in Lagos, would have been shot down to businesses in solidarity to him. The Kings in Yorubaland would have been holding series of meetings with venomous/authoritative threat statements aimed at facilitating his immediate release.  Unfortunately however, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, is neither from the North nor from the Western part of Nigeria but from the East popularly known as Biafraland. This is a territory, where majority of the leadership in whatever sphere or calling, cares less. They are enmeshed in their self-serving business interests. 

The elders are rather, riding on his shoulders to feather their political neasts. They see the opportunity of his arrest and incarceration as an avenue to display their loyalty to their Northern slave masters. The traditional rulers are all shamelessly, paying no attention to the plight of their own. They rather use the opening to apportion blames on him and the IPOB for orchestrating woes on the Igbo nation as if the problems ravaging the land emanated with the present Biafra agitation of the Nnamdi Kanu led IPOB.

This shameful act of cowardice being showcased by the Igbos reminds one of the statement of Shannon Alder. He said: "Staying silent is like a slow, growing cancer, to the soul and a trait of a true coward. There is nothing intelligent about not standing up for yourself. You may not win every battle. However, everyone will at least know what you stood for". The deafening silence of Igbo elders and leaders are more of cowardice than anything else. The docility of the South-East political representatives on the issues affecting Biafrans in Nigeria, is really heartwrenching. This callous attitude has not in anyway helped us as a people. How are we progressing in the light of this debasing anormaly?

Biafrans should note therefore, that the chains of Nnamdi Kanu are the chains placed on every Igbo person whether man or woman and it is a very big shame. Today, dare-devil Islamic terrorists are lavishly being celebrated in the North while the so-called bandits rake in millions of Naira as ransom. We cannot feign ignorance of Nigeria government's deal with all these criminals on daily basis. They are being aided with new sets of motorcycles amongst others. Boko Haram terrorists are today, equally being recruited into the Nigerian military without recourse. The Northern leadership is effortlessly and jealously guiding/guarding their own people, their acts of criminality nonetheless. What really are the sins of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and IPOB against these Igbo elders? They should just remember the words of J.R.R. Tolkien who said: "A man that flies from his fear may eventually find out that he has only taken a short cut to meet it".

No matter how pretentious we may be and if we like, let us shy away from our responsibilities, we are only suceeding in building a time bomb that will one day, consume all of us. One day, we will just wake up grappling with the damning effects of the docility and crass negligence of our elders/leaders over the case of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu and the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB).

IPOB Declared Ghost Mondays: Un-regrettable Necessary Sacrifice Of Biafrans

 IPOB Declared Ghost Mondays: Un-regrettable Necessary Sacrifice Of Biafrans

With the bizarre commission of international crime of the Nigerian government through the abduction of the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, in Kenya, IPOB have introductorily, responded by declaring every Monday starting from 9th of August 2021, as "Ghost Town", across Biafraland. This is premised on the need to pressure the unconditional release of the IPOB leader, from detention by the Nigerian government. The "Ghost Town" weekly protest by Biafrans in Biafraland and even beyond, was contained in a press statement made available to newsmen recently by IPOB's Media and Publicity Secretary, Comrade Emma Powerful. The primary intent of this massive civil action, is aimed at pressing home the demand for the Nigerian government to unconditionally release Mazi Nnamdi Kanu from illegal detention on or before Sunday 8th August, 2021.

Having interacted with diverse sections of the society particularly in Biafraland, traders, artisans and market women, have all made it clear that "Ghost Towns' civil action on Mondays, is a worthwhile sacrifice that they all wish to reciprocate Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who is presently languishing in illicit detention. They see this unfolding opportunity as one for an unmatchable sacrifice. A cross section of youths interviewed in Ifite-Awaka, Anambra State, told Family Writers Press International that the IPOB declared "Ghost Town" protest, affords them yet another ample opportunity to maintain a hundred percent (100%) compliance to a rightful civil disobedience. They stated that the exercise which starts on Monday 9th August 2021, will be monumental. The youths emphasized that those political elites that are already decrying economic implications of the planned exercise, are mischief makers, hypocrites and attention seekers. They also queried if those political desporadoes are truly touched by the plight of Biafran (Igbo) commoners. Why have the political elites not spoken out against the illegal abduction, persecution and detention of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, who has remained the voice of the voiceless Biafran people? Why have they not spoken about Biafra referendum which is the overwhelming demand of the people?

A cross section of traders interviewed in Eke-Awka main market, Awka, Anambra State, maintained that even if the people of Biafra globally choose to stay indoors for one whole week in protest against Nnamdi Kanu's illegal detention, the sacrifice cannot equate the very prize the IPOB leader is currently paying in the hands of the officials of the Department of State Services (DSS) because of his fellow Biafrans. They all unanimously concurred before newsmen that Eke-Awka main market must be under lock and key every Monday until Mazi Nnamdi Kanu gets unconditionally released.

With this amongst many other definitive responses in support of the "Ghost Town" protest, it has become quite obvious that Biafrans are readily prepared to make sacrifices in solidarity to Mazi Nnamdi Kanu. He has unmatchably made sacrifices towards the wellbeing of the Biafran people. And if this planned civil exercise is the tunic needed to force the rogue Nigerian government and the seeming docile international community into expediting action to remedy the criminal rendition of the IPOB leader from Kenya, let it be.

The Continued Detention Of Nnamdi Kanu, Sunday Igboho And The Mistakes Of The Nigerian Government

 The Continued Detention Of Nnamdi Kanu, Sunday Igboho And The Mistakes Of The Nigerian Government

The entire mainstream houses and social media platforms went agog on the announcement of the re-arrest of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya. The announcement came directly from the Attorney General of the Federation (AGF) and Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami. So, for the Indigenous People Of Biafra (IPOB) and supporters of her leader, Mazi Nnmadi Kanu, it was quite displeasing and an annoying moment. For all those that hate Nnamdi Kanu or his strategies, it sounded like the most exciting news of the century. For APC led government and the Fulani Oligarchs in Aso-rock, it was their greatest achievement which called for celebrations, as if the man was the problem of Nigeria.

Some days after the arrest of the IPOB leader, the next biggest news that broke in Nigeria was the attack of Sunday Igboho, the leader of Oodua Republic agitators. His house was ransacked and his aides killed with officials of DSS claiming responsibility. But to the best of my knowledge, Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho constituted no problems for Africa, Nigeria or Muhammadu Buhari's APC government.

Kanu and Igboho are merely exercising their constitutional rights to self-determination, freedom of speech and right of association. The duo have not killed anybody and no court in Nigeria or elsewhere, has convicted them for  any violation. But Buhari and his government is seeing them as the problems of Nigeria. Yet, there remains many huge problems facing Africa, Nigeria and APC that has been left unsolved but instead, they go after proverbial rats.

Muhammadu Buhari as a misplaced priority, goes after misplaced agenda.

Since inception of his government, the Nigeria economy went on her kneels, bandits have unabatedly been rampaging every state of the country, from the east to west and from the south to the north. No day has ever passed without the news of Fulani herdsmen terror attacks amongst others. Boko Haram has reclaimed and captured most parts of Borno State, which used to be a free and a peaceful State. They have also entered many other states that were free before the emergence of this government. Many of such states are now under the control of Boko Haram terrorists.

The above mentioned cases are some of the major problems of Nigeria and Africa, not Mazi Nnamdi Kanu or Sunday Igboho. Banditry is now a legalized business in the north, kidnapping of school children is now a regular occurrence and negotiating with bandits and Fulani terror herdsmen is now the norm, a new ministry or parastal in Nigeria, with their Minister appointed as Sheikh Ahmad Gumi. This has become the system in Northern Nigeria, that the federal government now gives them federal allocations. There will not be surprises if they even decide to budget for their terror activities in the next budget plan. If we are truthful to ourselves, these are the main problems of Nigeria and Africa in general, not IPOB or Oduwua.

Similarly, the storms surrounding the Minister of Communication and Digital Economy, Isa Ali Pantami, highlights the fragility of democracy and it's guardrails in Nigeria, with the laborious task required to strengthen the nation’s fragile socio-political fabric. Pantami’s call for a jihad and unalloyed support for murderous groups, portray him as a dyed-in the wool Islamic fundamentalist and fanaticism. Yet, Muhammdu Buhari and his APC government do not see him as a problem to Nigeria but have appointed him as Communication Minister, to control the country’s massive data and telephone infrastructure, amongst other sensitive details of national intelligence. 

"This jihad is an obligation for every single believer, especially in Nigeria”, “Oh God, give victory to the Taliban and al-Qaeda”. These were the exact words of Pantami in one of his ferocious preachings in the year 2000. In a second speech delivered in 2006, Pantami offered his public condolences for the death of the leader of Al-Qaeda in Iraqi, Al-Zarqawi. “May God have mercy on Ahmad al-Fadil al Khalayleh, rahmatullah alayhi. May God forgive his mistakes. He is a human being. He has certainly some mistakes in front of God, so May God forgive his mistakes". Who am I talking about? He is Abu Musa’ab al-Zarqawi.

No matter how you might be seeing Pantami, he is also a problem to the country. But today, he is holding one of the most sensitive positions in this government. Buahri does not see him as a problem. Instead, Nnamdi Kanu and Sunday Igboho are the ones being detained unjustly.

Sheihk Ahmad Gumi, a prominent Muslim cleric and former army Captain, first emerged on the scene in February 2021 after he went on a so-called peace mission to a group of bandits in their forest hideouts at Zamfara State. Since then, he has further undertaken other such visits to Kastina, Kaduna and Niger States to negotiate with them.

In another occasion, he said: “kidnapping children from school is a lesser evil because in the end, you can negotiate and that bandits are now very careful about human lives. This was after the abduction of about twenty (20) students from Greenfield University in Kaduna State in April 2021, where he (Gumi), reportedly urged the Central Bank of Nigeria to pay the group responsible, their demanded ransom of $260, 000 with ten (10) Honda Motorcycles. This is indeed laughable! Can you just imagine the mess Nigerians are presently into?

These are the problems confronting Nigeria  and not Mazi Nnamdi Kanu or Sunday Igboho.

Muhammdu Buhari should specifically go after the problems of his country and stop running from pillar to post. The arrests of Mazi Nnmadi Kanu and Sunday Igboho are clear mistakes that will cost more than Nigeria to handle.

Edwin Clark, South-South Notion And The Damning Effect Of Ignorance

 Edwin Clark, South-South Notion And The Damning Effect Of Ignorance

I am compelled to respond to Chief Edwin Clark, one of the "older children" in the southern part of Nigeria (Delta State), towards his assertion that "South-South is not inclusive in Biafra".

It is quite appalling that knowledge is not aquired after spending so much in school. It becomes a mere waste of time and resources. Firstly, Chief Edwin Clark and his likes should note that the region called "South-South" should not have existed in the first place. But the ignorance of the people in the region paved the way for that.

Just like the earth is divided into four (4) equal parts by an imaginary line known as EQUATOR, so also is every nation/ country divided into four equal parts by same imaginary line, thereby creating:

1.) North Pole  N°

2.) South Pole  S°

3.) East Pole  E° and 

4.) West Pole  W°.

 

It is possible that people of same or similar language and culture can inhabit one or more poles as the case may be. Sandwiched in between two poles, like South (S°) and East (E°), we have South-East (SE°), which is the meeting point of two different poles. And the people living there are referred to as  South-Easterners. Same method is applicable to every other poles as well.

Even with common knowledge in English language, it is prohibited (a tortorlogy), for one to use two different English words with same meaning in a place, at a time. So, how come this South-South coinage?

Actually, it is a very serious disease for someone or some people to be ignorant of the truth and still refuse to learn.

In the case of Biafra, we need to first and foremost, abolish this non-existent south-south notion that was created to place division amongst us. They knew it, hence they do not have North-north placement within their region.

Before the amalgamation in 1914, what we had were protectorates namely:

* Southern Protectorate

*Eastern Protectorate

* Northern Protectorate and

* Western Protectorate.

Facts about the Igbos is not new to us as they are the most widely travelled people on earth. So, they travelled and first occupied most of the Southern States of current Nigeria, in search for greener pastures. They mostly engaged themselves in businesses like  farming and fishing.

Following this their traveling nature, they were also trooping into the North in large numbers but before then, the Hausas had already taken over.

Due to their (Igbos) massive influx into the North, fear of domination gripped the Northerners which resulted in the killing of the Igbos in 1945. The killings did not deter the Igbos from trooping to the north and that same fear of the Igbos taking over everything, made Sir Alhaji Tafawa Balewa to issue a statement in 1952, that the Igbos massively coming to the north are intruders and that they are not welcomed. As a result, the killing was intensified to scare them away which partly later, resulted in the declaration of Biafra in 1966 with resultant bloody genocide. If not for ignorance, Edwin Clark and his co-birds ought to have known this.

So one cannot talk of the shambolic south-south  without talking of the Igbos as the real indigenous land owners/inhabitants. We speak the same Igbo language but in different tongues.

Secondly, Nigeria was grouped into two during the Nigeria/Biafra war.

Biafrans are the igbos who occupied Eastern and Southern Protectorates and  were the aggrieved, while the defendants of One-Nigeria, were made up of the Yorubas and Hausas, including the Fulanis who up till today, are clearly known as not even being Nigerians. The Yorubas were included in Nigeria because their relationship with the North then, was still robust.

Colonel Joseph Achuzie, Major Chukwuma Nzeogwu and others, were all from Delta State and they fought for Biafra against Nigeria. The Nigerian soldiers took the war to the South and massacred people in the present Delta and Bayelsa States  which remain undisputably, core Southern States. If these states were not part of Biafraland, why then did the Nigerian government take the war to them, committing unforgettable genocide?

Furthermore, every tribe or race on earth must have a founding father just like we know that nobody fell out  from the blues and became a human.

The Yorubas originated from Oduduwa. The Hausas are origins of Bayajidadd and are called Arewas while the Igbos are of Eri kingdom. If therefore, the so-called South-South region is not inclusive in Biafra, then who was their founding father? This submission would rather prove that the people of the South-South region of Nigeria, are not Nigerians either, if they really deny being part of Biafra.

Kanu's Re-arrest: Self-Imposed Snare To The Fulani Oligarchs

 Kanu's Re-arrest: Self-Imposed Snare To The Fulani Oligarchs 

Just like Mazi Nnamdi Kanu had always said; "the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), sets the game for Nigeria and her leadership", instead of the other way round. This noble family of IPOB, ably led by Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, has maintained this status-quo since inception, while Nigeria have naturally danced to the tunes played for them, proving that the IPOB movement is well more sophisticated and wins at all times.

The illegal rendition of Mazi Nnamdi Kanu has further confirmed this, showing the whole world how incompetent, undemocratic and  incapable Muhammadu Buhari and his cabinet really are, in their handlings of human rights and due process concerns. This has variably abysmally pushed the Nigerian presidency into murky waters which will most definitely, lead to more regrets.

Many arguments have ensued about this Kanu's matter. While the Nigerian government is saying that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was arrested at Kenya, the Kenyan authorities are saying it is not true, claiming that he was abducted instead. Whichever way, Nigeria is still to be strongly held responsibe in the crime. Recently, an All Progressive Congress (APC) chieftain stated that they were able to take hold of Nnamdi Kanu using a trap of $100 millions to lure him to Kenya. But let me ask you the reader, if that were true, would it exonorate the Nigerian government from the guilt of violating an international law?

Even if that is truly what happened, were Muhammadu Buhari and his government supposed to as well, lose their sense of due processes? If what the APC chieftain said is the truth, then it means that Kanu deceived them into falling into their own trap..So, no matter what they say and how they said it, they will never win this case against IPOB.

They have tried to insist that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu jumped bail, which is not even true. But even at that, should it have made them forget to avoid such grievous and heinous crime as illegal rendition? It is evidently clear that all these noise that the Nigerian government is making about this Kanu's matter, is just in a bid to exonerate their ignorance and incompetence but they will never be the judge in their own case. IPOB is always ahead of them. They should always know that the more they raise their evil hands against Biafra and Biafrans, the more they create troubles for themselves and bringing Biafra restoration closer.

Fulani Disloyalty And The Fallacy Of ‘‘One Nigeria’’

 Fulani Disloyalty And The Fallacy Of ‘‘One Nigeria’’

Here is the greatest riddle: the minority nomadic Fulanis are more zealous about ‘one Nigeria’ than the majority indigenous communities'. ‘One Nigeria’ sounds seductive but it's violent undertone linked to the Fulani Islamic extremists who are determined to turning Nigeria into a caliphate, is a rude awakening. Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), had said that the most consequential political imprint is that the indigenous communities now show no desire to have ‘one Nigeria’ foisted on them. 

‘One Nigeria’ is instrumental in handing over the reins of power to the historically wandering Fulani community of Africa. Underneath their mantra of ‘indivisibility’, is the Fulani’s unrelenting quest for domination. Professor Akintoye (a prominent Yoruba Nation agitator), remarked: The Fulani youths are brainwashed into believing that Nigeria belongs exclusively to them. Under this guise of unity, Fulani Islamists have completely hijacked the government. 

Regarding loyalty, and credibility problems, the nomadic Fulanis calling for unity are the worst culprits. Their pathological loyalty towards their own tribe confirms that ‘one Nigeria’ is a sham. Of course, fondness for one’s ethnic group is common to all tribes. Unlike the wandering Fulani tribe, the indigenous communities in Nigeria have the most enlightened self-interest in pursuing peaceful co-existence but the Fulani’s true allegiance lies elsewhere. Certain East African countries’ vain attempts to resettle nomads, further reveal that the Fulanis are more suited to stateless political economy. 

Having no loyalty towards Nigeria, the Fulanis are never genuinely interested in their host communities’ security. President Buhari – himself, a Fulani, is an exemplar. His allegiance to his kinsfolk straddling the Nigeria-Niger border is both brazen and deeper. He unapologetically financed the two billion dollars railway line to Niger republic using Nigeria’s money. No wonder, the Niger government honoured him with the highest title there is. The travesty of such disloyalty is displayed in the one-sided ill-treatment of those asking for self-determination through referendum. Those youths abducted from South-East Nigeria and sent across the border to Niger, most highlights the scandal. Five of them died in detention.

Democracy can never take root in Nigeria because of Fulani’s ruthless manipulative control of power. Among the earliest warning signs of their conqueror’s mindset, is Amadu Bello’s twisted outlook: “This New Nation called Nigeria, should be an estate of our great grandfather, Uthman Dan Fodio. We must ruthlessly prevent a change of power. We use the minorities in the North as willing tools and the South, as conquered territory and never allow them to rule over us, and never allow them to have control over their future”. Given that Bello’s rule-book was laid down in 1961, the glory days of regional government, restructuring Nigeria is an ever more fanciful idea. 

The Fulanis head all the key positions of power! Their kinsfolks always stand ready to ritually shoot down calls for accountability. Islamists gunned down a jet fighter, including thirteen police officers in Zamfara State. Yet, the National Broadcasting Agency issued a sickening instruction to journalists to actively downplay the terrorism ravaging the north. Without proper vetting, the forces recruited ‘repentant’ Boko Haram fighters into their various formations. 

The video that went viral on the social media about soldiers destroying crops of farmers who chased out Fulani herdsmen from their farms, only confirms that Nigeria security forces are quick to take sides with the menacing herders. No attempt was made to investigate why the farmer had chased the herders away. That impunity skewed towards these herders is seen in Buhari’s blank refusal to declare Myetti Allah (the herders’ umbrella body), a terrorist group as they were quick to declare the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), terrorists even without perpetrating any violence, despite Fulani herdsmen being the fourth most deadliest terror group on the global index.

Inward-looking, Fulanis are no master tacticians. By exhibiting the blindest ethnic loyalty, they have wasted the opportunity that the Fulani-Hausa alliance once provided. The Hausas (whose forefathers’ hospitality provided the Fulanis, the political foothold in Nigeria), are the worst victims of the Fulani jihadi insurrectionists. Realising that Fulani rides on the Hausas’ coattails to hijack political power, the Hausas are reluctant to play political ball with them. 

Even the religious affinity between Hausa and Fulani has severely waned. The Fulani prefer the extremists’ versions of Islam (Wahabism and Salafism) that approves the killing of both Christians and Muslims standing in their way to Nigeria caliphate. This is where the indigenous Muslims part ways with the Fulanis. The tension has sparked off decades of bloodbaths in mostly the Sharia law run staindex.

Fulani lack appetite for diplomatic niceties needed to build a viable state to accommodate disparate indigenous communities. Their willingness to use violence under the guise of preserving ‘one Nigeria’ is well-documented. Their penchant for violence is the reason twitter deleted President Buhari’s own violent tweet. More troubling, research shows nomads thrive in failing states. Thus, the fear of Nigeria becoming a collapsed state does not trouble this Fulani-led regime, nonetheless.

DSS fails to provide Nnamdi Kanu in court for trial despite the insistence of his lawyer (FULL DETAILS)

 

Despite Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor's insistence that his client, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, be brought before the court by the DSS to have the case of his extraordinary rendition settled, the security agency failed to provide the IPOB leader in court today July 26, 2021 as expected.

Recall that Nnamdi Kanu was kidnapped in Kenya and illegally repatriated to Nigeria in June 2021 after the invasion of his home by the Nigerian joint security forces on September 14, 2017, a few weeks before the date of his hearing in court.

This nasty military invasion resulted in the deaths of 28 innocent people including both of Kanu's parents who died from the traumatic incident.

However, Mazi Nmamdi Kanu who miraculously escaped the terrible assassination attempt on his life, fled Nigeria, and this led to his long absence from the court.

Recently, Kanu who was extraordinarily renditioned by the Nigerian government with the aide of their Kenyan counterpart have been denied access to his lawyers, family and doctors despite his health issues.

Today at the Federal High Court in Abuja where the hearing was to continue, according to Nnamdi Kanu's Chief attorney Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the court ordered the detention authorities to grant them access to the Kanu on a specified date (date withheld). This, was after the DSS failed to provide the IPOB leader in court. 

Meanwhile, Ejiofor also noted that there had been rumors on social media that his client Mazi Nnamdi Kanu had been taken from DSS custody in Abuja, and it appears to be true because he (Ejiofor) had no access to him since the past eight (8) days.

The lawyer also added that there had been a request served on July 14, 2021 to have Nnamdi Kanu transferred to the Kuje Correctional Center, but that there was a cross-affidavit served by the federal government against that request this morning.  before the tribunal.

Ejiofor strongly noted that if anything bad happened to his client, Nnamdi Kanu, the international communities should hold accountable the Nigerian government, DSS and other authorities, who are involved in the horrific game.

Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor also condemned the arrest of the IPOB members and other persons who attended the court today to observe the progress of the case, and called on authorities to release them immediately.

The Judge, Binta Nyako, adjourned the next court date to October 21, 2021, on the grounds that she cannot proceed with the hearing without the defendant in court.
