Genevieve Nnaji on Canadian talk show George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight
Genevieve Nnaji was on Canadian talk show, George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight, to talk about the Nollywood film scene and her
role in the film adaption of Chimamanda's book, Half of a Yellow Sun. This interview was done last year but posted online yesterday. See the video after the cut...
LIGHT ON THE ANTI-GAY BILL by 'Timmy Okungbowa. It's great to know Mr President, his cabinet and the parliament aren't this time biased on the recently passed into law anti-gay bill unlike the female marriage age bill. Yet, this anti-gay law is in question. I know at this moment, some will start thinking I'm not a christian. Well, I really am and it's beyond any doubt. I just read that the President of Uganda refused to sign an anti-gay bill into law and he gave genuine reasons. You can search for it online. I read it and felt like, when are we gonna have intellectual and humane political leaders? Truth be said, God is against gay, humanity is against it, gay is something unimaginable to me, it's a nasty trash. One of the things that really touched my heart about the Ugandan President's speech is 'the economy'. He said the economy has to be okay before they start passing bills into law. Think about it, the economy is bad, even a graduate hardly gets a good job these days; I was on a blog and someone made a comment: 'thank God after 8years of graduating, I got a job of #22,500'. Imagine! Our leaders are crap, they know nothing about leadership, they do things according to their emotions which ought not to be. Do you lead people based on sentiments? It's an absolute no! Now, anyone suspected to be gay is lawful to spend 14years of his life behind bars. In my very sincere opinion, one of the reasons these men get involved in such act is the economy. Like I said, a graduate hardly gets employed. An unemployed man finds it hard to have a woman of his choice or let me say finds it hard to have a woman and consequentially, he gets sex starved. Since he's got no job, females can't surely be after him. He's got no source of income, which is the most popular among youths both educated and uneducated. If he finds two, three of four men like him - who are in same shoes as he and are also sex starved, there's a high possibility of satisfying their needs themselves(the men). Improve the economy and this condition changes. If I may ask; the prison they are, are they gonna be alone? Won't they be with men like them? Now, does the 14year sentence stop them from being gay? It only promotes the act! What the 14year sentence means is this: if you're a gay, you and your partner will be in prison for continuity and will enjoy fourteen really good years together, you also stand a chance to have once a life time experience with other high-class gay men without interruption. It doesn't make a profound improvement on the nation and the persons. Why not flag off a campaign that encourages gay men to show forth confidently, oragnise a seminar in a church, invite real christian leaders to open their shut eyes and minds? This way, you're giving succour to the oppressed - that's what government is all about - for the people, not against the people. Also, there are certain things you shouldn't interfere in in people's lives. Why should you tell me to stop taking breakfast 'cos your son gets greedy whenever he sees me eat my delicious meal? Or why should you tell a university student to stop schooling simply because you're not yet admitted? The government has no right to infringe on human rights. Since my freedom isn't detrimental, then what problem of yours is it? If this same people couldn't infringe on the females' marriage age, then why on males' sex life? Gay is a nasty act, yet, even Christ said He never came to condemn, He came for the lost sheep like you and me. Though, religious leaders have been commending the President for a job well done but what else would they have said? People, it's high time we had creative thinkers, intellectual and humane homosapiens in our government. Timmylehyn Okungbowa, 08167665426.
Nice one Ms Nnaji, love the way the presenter pronounced her name. Thanks for repping naija n nollywood.. Make them Ms ike n the rest de learn o its not always about Dior bags or expensive hotels. If uve got it, youve got it n u will go places.
Isn't Geneviève an english name & isn't he english? Y then is he pronouncing it like that? Also genny pple like 2 know celebrity biz in evry part of d world
U notice how u asked her a question and she goes 'you know what' meaning 'let me say the one I know' but it wud hv been ok 2 say d movie is centred around Nigeria
this babe is making Nigerians proud, and i love her shoes. as for her name, that's the correct pronunciation as the name is not English, i think it's french
Wow! I really adore her.She is a role model,inspite the challenge she had as a teenager,that dint stop her,she kept moving,and look where she is today.Genevieve you are an inspiration .I wunt stop until i get there,it might take a little time,but i know i will definitely get there.
Apparently, even Genevieve and other Nigerians don't know how to pronounce her name........its pronounced just the way the guy says it "djon vi yave", and its of french origin.
French people pronounce the name differently... Jun-vi-eve. And not all Canadians speak English as their first language. For some, I'm guessing this guy as well, it's French. I dunno sha, haven't seen the clip so just assuming
she look lovely.. but ders nofin smart about her answers.. do your home work well b4 u go on talk shows miss..and know your history else ul be lost 4 words like u were here .. am only 24 but my parents told me a thing or 2 about the war growing up read books too.. half of a yellow sun is dated back 06/07 wen i first read it..culd u nt ve made an attempt to know a bit more to keep the conversation smartly going especially since u deemed it wise to acknowledge urself as igbo.. it was our struggle.. again know ur history madam ... the host knows more than she does.. shame.. but i still love u miss nnaji just work on it...
Genevieve is still basic to Lupita Nyongo's standard! Getting interviewed by a canadian station (d same country whr d movie was premiered) isn't really a big deal! You nollywood actresses need to start acting world class movies and breaking into hollywood n stop dese publicity of getting interviewed especially u and omotola! If A-list actresses like y'all r stl basic to a small girl 4rm kenya, well I dnt blame F-list actresses like chika ike 4 tryin to shove her yam face down our throats! Linda post this! Oshey
It depends on the spelling and a mono like you spelt it the French way and asked if it was English. And obviously they speak French in Canada. So my dear he pronounced it correctly
Thats what a true celeb do, featured in a Talk Show in Canada, You can take that to the bank, not some cheap I must be on the news kinda people, who go to the extent of showing us their wack 2014 calender shoot or their trip to hotels abroad with someone's husband! Genny U rock #TrueStar
Genevieve is not an English name so e pronounced it correctly. It can b pronounced as GEN-uh-veev or the French zhahn-vee-EV. Anyways she is still our own. Jeneviv! Love u girl!
Genny sell nollywood internationally than any other actor or actress in nigeria,she is just to talented and classy to be compared kudos girl,u rock,u don't hv second.
She just nailed it there.. Keep on repping for naija darline.. But if you dont go down the aisle with dbanj, na there you go fall ma hand oooo. #justsaying!!
This is pretty awesome; genevieve is simply best. She has bn profiled by oprah, interviewed twice on cnn by the world's leading journalists Pedro pinto and becky Anderson, featured in international magazine such as Forbes, arise magazine, elle mag etc and this interview in Canada. All hail the queen of nollywood
Naa. Ure d only one who thinks that. She dint get his questions ryt, she jus blabbed wat she knew. And his questions weren't even hard to begin with. She looked DAMN good tho. But she's always clueless and unprepared for interviews.
Linda and the fear of Ms Nnaji...gosh! Wasn't this the show she was blasted by other bloggers for not knowing a thing about the Biafran war. Linda is not a fair reporter or blogger, you NEVER find anything wrong in what Genny or Omotola does, but you are quick with your stupid sacarsm when it comes to others....but you fail to know you're are bigger and much more influential that the two ladies. Pls grow up PERIOD!
Lmao, grade 1 of olukulogy.."Iinda dis ur son has mental ish, his either demented or suffering from a mental disease that makes him think itz only wen u snap pics in big hotels dat makes u a celeb..infact his disease is connected to hotels..lol
You should probably know that Lupita graduated from Yale. As much as Genny is a good actress, its very difficult to break into any American society especially if ur not from there or they haven't schooled you. Even Chiwetel had it difficult breaking into american movie industry though he grew up in UK. Americans are just that way. They won't accept you unless they know they ve trained you.
Yes, ve said it b4 nd am saying it again, not dt am a fan of geneviv but she is a role model nd should be a role model to Nigerian youths nd not idolizn nd copying everything about riri nd Chris brow as well as Kim . I live in the Uk no one is freaking out about these Pple here!,
Yeah, at first you seemed tensed but overall she is a charmer.It's not easy though, I got twice tensed watching than she did being interviewed,thumbs up to her and I guess the N.Industry still needs a lot of exposure but I believe they will get there, best of luck to Nollywood
I totally agree with you. I cant believe how shaky she was, especially being such an experienced actress. It also shows that she didn't prepare for the interview. Her lack of preparedness was also apparent from the lack of intelligence in her answers. She couldn't even say wat awards the book won or why the movie is special, how it is different from other movies or how it can touch other non Nigerians. The interview is supposed to promote the movie in Canada, but after this interview if im not Nigerian my interest has not been piqued. Two options: she can either hire someone to prep her for interviews or she can watch interviews from other A lists actresses. I was also disappointed on how she reacted to the Oprah gist. That would have been a good way to sell herself, but her answer made it seem like she wasn't deserving of Oprah's attention when indeed she is bcos shes an amazing actress.
Genny is world class, very classy and polished, one ignorant fellow made a comment to start comparing her to Omotola, pls there is no basis for comparison here, truth be told they are not of the same class/style!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you don't have it, you don't have it no matter how you try to fake or buy it,it keeps eluding you. Genny is class personified!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is how it should be, she did not lie to impress unlike those who are struggling to catch up.
Enuf wif d comparison already..... Lupita is no doubt a very good actress but saying Genny is basic to Lupita is wrong.Lupita is a graduate of hamsphire college wif a degree in film and theatre studies n subsequently attended Yale school of drama which is kind of a big deal cos COMMON we talking about YALE n she appeared in many stage productions there so it's only natural that she crossed paths wif Brad Pitt n Genny on d other hand didn't attend YALE OR JUILLIARD but worked her way up to where she is today with her natural acting talent n is still trying to make a name for herself so please FREE THE BABE!
I've always loved this lady...had d major crush on her when I was much younger...prolly still do,lol. Nice interview but some of her comments honestly weren't really on point. Proud of u all the same.
Shut da fuck up.....not every parent discussed such history with their kids....i got to know more of the biafran war when ojukwu died....so shut your dirty mouth up...would u have rather preferred she lied cos she was coming for a talk show....mtcheeeew itk
'Basic'...really. When wud u guys just celebrate a person without tryn to downplay on their success. It makes no sense at all. Well at least u can compare Genny againt Lupita...how about yourself
Me I am just curious as to when Genevieve started slanging ...didn't know her to be someone who changed her accent ffor any interview. Suits her tho at least it doesn't sound fake like other actresses. ..:P
No one has time for this ur epistle. Touch our sons, we shoot u.gtfoh n find your own blog so u hv an lgbt following because majority of us here r straight n we aint reading this shit!
She was so clueless in this interview you guys should listen to her response and stop talking shit. You cyber bullies, your can start bullying me I don't care
Thank God Linda you. Didn't say "my girl Genevieve Nnaji was on Canadian talk show,with George Stroumboulopoulos. Awww she is so cute.... Blah blah blah ....because na your. Way #starstruckninja. Interview. Don old you. Still post am by fire by force LOL!
Did you not the see the post about anti-gay bill????? Why comment on Genevieve' interview with a anti-gay bill? This it how you guys fail exams. Just comon diligence
Omg!!! Ms genny I luv u so much.....u remains No 1 in d industry infact in african..........she was d first to be interview in oprah wifrey show ND Cnn, now is d canadian talk show......shey omotola abi omo sexy wan dye???? She no fit reach genny she is too fat nd big for my liky......08168612692 dat is my number I go follow ina argue reach ny were.....genny remains d queen in history nd ny tin u see omotola doing now is genny dat left d space for her....thumbs up ms genny.....
#GBAGAUN!!! -->it was written by Chimamanda, an 'award writer'....choi! Still have mad love for genny ooo, but please dont let ur nerves get the best of you next time
Hian! We are in trouble if people feel that Genny's utterances to the question if the interesting changes that occurred in Africa when some of its countries got their independence were reflected in the film! It's either a yes or a no, then you go on to educate your listeners if you are well informed(and it is expected that you should be! You are representing yourself and your country and your colleagues in the movie!) No disputing the fact that she is well put together but abeg, let's call a spade a spade. I am not impressed. Linda, better post o!
All ds oversabi dem dat r fond of abusing celebrities, doz 1s comparing dem wf foreign celebs nd at d end bringin our repute to naught, God is watching u in 3D. Its jes to hide away and type 100 lines of comments, if a camera is placed in front of u, u won't evn b able to type 1 line. Y u not relevant enuf to go to canada and replace genny 4 us. O yes members!
READING SOME COMMENTS HERE confirms what I've always said. The confusion over the Franco vs. Anglo pronunciation of Genevieve is exactly why you should name your kids native names, and not names that you don't understand. She was for sure nervous, being surrounded by oyinbos I guess LOL, but she did okay. Also as a celebrity on a national/ international show, you don't say things like African or black people can be dramatic. It's not seen in good taste to publicly speak like that. See how no one reacted? Get yourself a publicist that will prep you for these type of interviews. When you get on Rubbin' Minds and the rest of them in naija, you can say whatever pleases you. Good luck Ms. Nnaji.
I wasn't impressed wit d way she answered her question... N pls stop calling her naija's role model cos she isn't my role model... Aunty Genny go marry n take care of a home den u'll be a complete woman #dazzlingak#
Miss Adebayo,reading the novel,I knew that can only be you...,can wait to kiss you someday,but for my gf,you could have been the real Mrs Adebayo..lol like my friend would say.....bayo wake up,stop dreaming

We have to stop coddling our stars. Ordinarily Genevieve is poised and articulate. Here, she's halting and wanting. Her answer to the history question was breezy. Her statement about the target population of her foundation; "... Female children between the ages of 18 and 24" is erroneous. There are adult women in that cohort.
Her performance in the movie was mediocre at best. And then the interview... This type of exercise is an opportunity to promote the movie by bringing up awareness about the subject matter but madam decided to appear dumb and dazed...
this chic is too matured i love her and everything about her kiss kiss nnaji DNT MIND UR FELLOW NOLLYWOOD ACTRESS THAT ARE BUSY TAKING PICS OF BAGS AND PICTURES OF THEM SELFS IN 2 STARS HOTEL ABROAD PROSTITUTING AND SAY IS VACATION HISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Dhobiz or what's ur name. Do yourself a favor abd stop talking trash on pple's comment. Sense no dey fot your papa at all. Besides, shey na your papa get LIB. U are just a person with few prob. You need help. Susan
She doesn't hv detailed knowledge of Nigerian and African history. I doubt if she read the book or she just concentrated on her part. Not so impressed with the way she answered questions. But all the same, she try sha. The journalist seems to be French. He pronounced her name with a typical French accent .
Tunde (Badoo of Toronto? So u dey reach here? Long time no see. How is life treating u? Nd hop u v not fucked all d gals in Canada cs I kno dts ur best hobby. Sha take am easy cs aids is real.
Not impressed - I've never seen any of her movies, but is she not supposed to be one of the elite in Nigeria's movie industry? Inarticulate, clueless,very disappointing. Maybe she was nervous - hopefully, she'll learn from this and do some media training. On the world stage, this performance does not cut it. At all.
She did fantastically!! I'm very proud! It reminds me to be the best I can be; be diligent in my work and I too will stand before princes and be celebrated.
Bonario, are u sure u watched this vid, pls watch it again. her answers weren't intelligent, she was nervous, didn't really like the makeup, her dress was fab. like some one advised she should get a publicist or something to help with these things. I Love Genny till tomorrow tho.

How can anyone call her utterances intelligent?
She shows how ignorant she is about her own history.
She obviously didn't learn about her history before, during or after filming.
She can't even summarise what the book is about!!!!
she looked tensed a little tho but overall nice one girl
Lmao, grade 1 of olukulogy.."Iinda dis ur son has mental ish, his either demented or suffering from a mental disease that makes him think itz only wen u snap pics in big hotels dat makes u a celeb..infact his disease is connected to hotels..lol

You should probably know that Lupita graduated from Yale. As much as Genny is a good actress, its very difficult to break into any American society especially if ur not from there or they haven't schooled you. Even Chiwetel had it difficult breaking into american movie industry though he grew up in UK. Americans are just that way. They won't accept you unless they know they ve trained you.
Yes, ve said it b4 nd am saying it again, not dt am a fan of geneviv but she is a role model nd should be a role model to Nigerian youths nd not idolizn nd copying everything about riri nd Chris brow as well as Kim . I live in the Uk no one is freaking out about these Pple here!,
many tnx to d numerous frnds dt av called and encouraged me. God bless!
Omotola pressure on the rise!
Yeah, at first you seemed tensed but overall she is a charmer.It's not easy though, I got twice tensed watching than she did being interviewed,thumbs up to her and I guess the N.Industry still needs a lot of exposure but I believe they will get there, best of luck to Nollywood
I totally agree with you. I cant believe how shaky she was, especially being such an experienced actress. It also shows that she didn't prepare for the interview. Her lack of preparedness was also apparent from the lack of intelligence in her answers. She couldn't even say wat awards the book won or why the movie is special, how it is different from other movies or how it can touch other non Nigerians. The interview is supposed to promote the movie in Canada, but after this interview if im not Nigerian my interest has not been piqued. Two options: she can either hire someone to prep her for interviews or she can watch interviews from other A lists actresses.
I was also disappointed on how she reacted to the Oprah gist. That would have been a good way to sell herself, but her answer made it seem like she wasn't deserving of Oprah's attention when indeed she is bcos shes an amazing actress.
Genny is world class, very classy and polished, one ignorant fellow made a comment to start comparing her to Omotola, pls there is no basis for comparison here, truth be told they are not of the same class/style!!!!!!!!!!!!! if you don't have it, you don't have it no matter how you try to fake or buy it,it keeps eluding you. Genny is class personified!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this is how it should be, she did not lie to impress unlike those who are struggling to catch up.
My o! My. I love this girl.
Enuf wif d comparison already..... Lupita is no doubt a very good actress but saying Genny is basic to Lupita is wrong.Lupita is a graduate of hamsphire college wif a degree in film and theatre studies n subsequently attended Yale school of drama which is kind of a big deal cos COMMON we talking about YALE n she appeared in many stage productions there so it's only natural that she crossed paths wif Brad Pitt n Genny on d other hand didn't attend YALE OR JUILLIARD but worked her way up to where she is today with her natural acting talent n is still trying to make a name for herself so please FREE THE BABE!
Can someone tell me y the hall was so quiet while Genny spoke? If these whites guyz think we would be backward forever? THEY LIE!!!!
And ur jst soooo dumb u dnt see d sarcasm in dat comment !!!!leprous imbecile!
I've always loved this lady...had d major crush on her when I was much younger...prolly still do,lol. Nice interview but some of her comments honestly weren't really on point. Proud of u all the same.
Shut da fuck up.....not every parent discussed such history with their kids....i got to know more of the biafran war when ojukwu died....so shut your dirty mouth up...would u have rather preferred she lied cos she was coming for a talk show....mtcheeeew itk
'Basic'...really. When wud u guys just celebrate a person without tryn to downplay on their success. It makes no sense at all. Well at least u can compare Genny againt Lupita...how about yourself
Me I am just curious as to when Genevieve started slanging ...didn't know her to be someone who changed her accent ffor any interview. Suits her tho at least it doesn't sound fake like other actresses. ..:P
I love u genny!! I wanna be like u wen grow up,u going places.
Becoz omotola went on CNN so...SHiorrr
No one has time for this ur epistle. Touch our sons, we shoot u.gtfoh n find your own blog so u hv an lgbt following because majority of us here r straight n we aint reading this shit!

#GBAGAUN!!! -->it was written by Chimamanda, an 'award writer'....choi! Still have mad love for genny ooo, but please dont let ur nerves get the best of you next time
Hian! We are in trouble if people feel that Genny's utterances to the question if the interesting changes that occurred in Africa when some of its countries got their independence were reflected in the film! It's either a yes or a no, then you go on to educate your listeners if you are well informed(and it is expected that you should be! You are representing yourself and your country and your colleagues in the movie!)
No disputing the fact that she is well put together but abeg, let's call a spade a spade. I am not impressed.
Linda, better post o!
Going where exactly?
Her career haff finish patapata. She will soon take her sabi sabi to politics.
The fact is, it was painful to watch from the 1:03 time mark. Gosh!
Omg... My cruch......
Ma dearest Genny always lukin calm..beta pikin!!
I love this woman like crazy. I envy her daughter soo much. Love in interview
All ds oversabi dem dat r fond of abusing celebrities, doz 1s comparing dem wf foreign celebs nd at d end bringin our repute to naught, God is watching u in 3D. Its jes to hide away and type 100 lines of comments, if a camera is placed in front of u, u won't evn b able to type 1 line. Y u not relevant enuf to go to canada and replace genny 4 us. O yes members!
Ohh WOW my lady is always looking fabolous.
READING SOME COMMENTS HERE confirms what I've always said. The confusion over the Franco vs. Anglo pronunciation of Genevieve is exactly why you should name your kids native names, and not names that you don't understand. She was for sure nervous, being surrounded by oyinbos I guess LOL, but she did okay. Also as a celebrity on a national/ international show, you don't say things like African or black people can be dramatic. It's not seen in good taste to publicly speak like that. See how no one reacted? Get yourself a publicist that will prep you for these type of interviews. When you get on Rubbin' Minds and the rest of them in naija, you can say whatever pleases you. Good luck Ms. Nnaji.
Linda biko stop posting this boiz comment on your blog for his own sake o,he just keeps embarrassing himself
She be ma fine fine fine lady
@least linda got you the gist mitch(if you're a male) and bitch(if you're a female)
I wasn't impressed wit d way she answered her question... N pls stop calling her naija's role model cos she isn't my role model... Aunty Genny go marry n take care of a home den u'll be a complete woman #dazzlingak#
Miss Adebayo,reading the novel,I knew that can only be you...,can wait to kiss you someday,but for my gf,you could have been the real Mrs Adebayo..lol like my friend would say.....bayo wake up,stop dreaming

We have to stop coddling our stars. Ordinarily Genevieve is poised and articulate. Here, she's halting and wanting. Her answer to the history question was breezy. Her statement about the target population of her foundation; "... Female children between the ages of 18 and 24" is erroneous. There are adult women in that cohort.
Her performance in the movie was mediocre at best. And then the interview... This type of exercise is an opportunity to promote the movie by bringing up awareness about the subject matter but madam decided to appear dumb and dazed...
Bonario..lie lie. U sure sey you watch this thigh so ? Abi u just made it up. Yimu !
Well said Samira.
Well said Samira.
Watched the "thigh" kwa? For what?

Genny's Agent or what other name qualifies you? Since you know those way their career don finish patapata, oya, begin give us list of names... Ote!
Was she there as a former actress cos she has left the industry.
Nothing new..she is broke actress..
Her Chanel bag could have paid for her to attend Yale or something similar..
Btw,the talk show host is greek and not canadian.thank me later!
Jealousy
She doesn't hv detailed knowledge of Nigerian and African history. I doubt if she read the book or she just concentrated on her part.
Not so impressed with the way she answered questions. But all the same, she try sha.
The journalist seems to be French. He pronounced her name with a typical French accent .
Since last year?Abeg!!!
Tunde (Badoo of Toronto? So u dey reach here? Long time no see. How is life treating u? Nd hop u v not fucked all d gals in Canada cs I kno dts ur best hobby. Sha take am easy cs aids is real.
Lmao libers wil not kil me. "Leprous Imbecile" like serzly? I swear dis just made.my day
Afi go down naa...Gbagaun of the highest order
Madam U get time
Chimamanda is an award writer, Genevieve that is completely laughable. When they tell you to go to School una go refuse.
I dont like her responses tho any way #team genny all d way
Not impressed - I've never seen any of her movies, but is she not supposed to be one of the elite in Nigeria's movie industry? Inarticulate, clueless,very disappointing. Maybe she was nervous - hopefully, she'll learn from this and do some media training. On the world stage, this performance does not cut it. At all.
Anon 3:54 plz hu even knws u? Wen u achieve half of gene's success den she myt I repeat myt notice u... D chances are 0-0 tho
She was calm and articulate. However, you can tell she knows next to nothing about Nigerian (or African) history. It was a good interview.
How is dt wrong?Wt shd she v said?
Ode, chanel bag could have paid for to attend yale? That's y u'd remain a dumb anonymous sadist on llib
I so much this girl, welldone genny, you are still the best
I so much this girl, welldone genny, you are still the best

Genny babe, you are an amazing young woman, thanks for representing Nigeria very well, I just love you.
She did fantastically!! I'm very proud! It reminds me to be the best I can be; be diligent in my work and I too will stand before princes and be celebrated.
let the competition continue.
@genny vs omo T.
Genny babe ,u are too much,thank for representing nigeria
Bonario, are u sure u watched this vid, pls watch it again. her answers weren't intelligent, she was nervous, didn't really like the makeup, her dress was fab. like some one advised she should get a publicist or something to help with these things. I Love Genny till tomorrow tho.
