Chris Brown has been ordered by the court to stay away from woman arrested for trespassing on his property after she claims he harassed her online.
Chris Brown has been ordered by a judge to stay away from a woman previously arrested for trespassing at his home.
The 26-year-old singer was ordered to stay 100 yards away from Danielle Patti after a court granted her request for a temporary restraining order, according to an article on Wednesday by TMZ.
Patti in her petition claimed that Brown repeatedly has harassed her on social media including the posting of death threats.
It was previously reported that Patti was arrested in December for trespassing after allegedly entering Brown's property and refusing to leave.
Patti in court documents described a different scenario and claimed she was trying to leave but her vehicle was blocked.
An eyewitness who witness what happened on the day actress Ibina Fiberesima Jeep collides with the late Dr. Giwa has come out to explain what really happened...
According to Africa issue; Mr De Gualle who witnessed the accident back in 2006 has come out to explained what really happened on that day. Read below:
This writer ( a good friend of IB) spoke with Ibinabo many years after the incident when one of her colleagues gave me an entirely different version of that happened during the accident. Ibinabo told me exactly what the eyewitness said.
The Eye Witness spoke one on one with Charles Novia, in Lagos Nigeria. One wonders why police never invited the gentleman to testify.
Please read the full interview.
The Eye Witness spoke one on one with Charles Novia, in Lagos Nigeria. One wonders why police never invited the gentleman to testify.
Please read the full interview.
‘ Ok. I saw Ibinabo a few years ago ( about six years ago) in Port Harcourt at a restaurant called Gessy ( or Jessy?). She was with some of your colleagues and my sister was there too. I told my sister that ‘Hey! That’s that girl whom I helped at the scene of the accident years ago’. My sister was surprised and called Ibinabo to meet me. And when I told her what I’m about to tell you, she was surprised and quiet for a long time.
That evening, what happened was that the Doctor’s car was coming from the Victoria Island axis of the first Lekki Roundabout which leads into the Lekki Phase One Estate, while another SUV which was being driven by Ibinabo was coming out from the estate, if I remember correctly. I cannot tell who was speeding or what but we heard a loud crash and then I think the doctors car somersaulted while the other car driven by Ibinabo was flung a few metres to the other side.
‘Was it midnight or late at night?’ I asked
‘No!’ Mr De Gaulle replied with much emphasis. ‘ It was early evening. There was still the last trace of evening light. It might have been just before seven o’clock or after seven. But it wasn’t late
So what happened was that the Doctor’s car was upside down and somehow his hand was crushed and he was trapped in the car. Immediately a few Area Boys and bystanders rushed to him to try and help him out of the crushed car. I quickly parked my car and came out to help as I rushed to the doctors car. A few other cars stopped as well.
I noticed that the other car was motionless and no one really was paying much attention to that car. What got my attention was the special number plates on the car which read ‘ DANIEL WILSON’ a popular musician in the nineties in Nigeria.
When I got to the doctor’s car, the area boys and bystanders were gathered round the car and were trying to help the man out of the car in the upturned vehicle. At that point, the man was very much alive. I swear he was alive and groaning but he was alive. His arm was crushed or underpinned by the impact of the car and I still think that it was the inexperience of the area boys and bystanders in trying to pull the man out of the car, which killed him faster.
I am sorry to say that but that is my belief because of what I saw. The people who gathered round that car may have meant well but they were also callous in responding to the emergency and were dragging at the man, trying to pull him from the crushed car.
The doctor kept crying out ( and I heard everything clearly because I saw it and was even telling the crowd to be gentle) and was shouting ‘ No! Take it easy! I’m a doctor. Don’t pull me like that. Easy!’. I heard everything.
At this time, all attention was on the doctor. And I heard someone in the crowd say that if anything happened to the man, they would make sure the occupant in the other car suffers.
Immediately I heard that, I went to the other car because I thought it was Daniel Wilson involved from the number plates. I was surprised to see a fair-skinned lady behind the wheel, unconscious and still. There was another lady in the car with her in the front seat. I think it was a young lady of about sixteen years or a teenager. That young lady was weeping and shaking.
After hearing what the guys at the other side had said about the occupant of the car, my first instinct was to get them to safety or to the hospital. I asked the young lady ‘ is there anyone you can call to take you people to the hospital? You and this woman have to leave this place now and get to a hospital’
I helped stop a taxi and helped carry the unconscious Ibinabo to the car and the taxi took them away.
Then I now returned to the other car of the late Doctor. When I got there, another set of cars full of some doctors had arrived the scene. The doctors said they were coming from some kind of meeting or event near the beach or somewhere near if I remember and that the bleeding occupant of the car was their colleague whom they had seen earlier.
By the time I got back, the car had been turned to a standing position but I believe it was too late for the injured person in that car at that point.’
‘ So you say the doctor in the car was alive when the accident happened?’ I asked.
‘ He was. There was no immediate emergency care to help him from competent medical personnel as what would obtain today and the crowd tried to help him out and he was calling out in pain. It was sad and painful. So when I saw Ibinabo a couple of years later in Port-Harcourt and told her that I was the person who removed her from the car and put her in a taxi, she was speechless and quaky. She too could have died that evening. She didn’t run away from the scene of the accident at all. I was the person who put her in a taxi to a hospital ‘
‘Why did it take you such a long time to come out to tell this story?’ I asked
‘ I have been in and out of Nigeria these past ten years. And I actually thought too that the case was done with all this while. I was surprised to hear that she was just sent to jail. Look, it was an unfortunate thing which happened. And I am ready at anytime, ANYTIME if I am called upon to testify on what I saw. It happened before my eyes. If my testimony would help put facts straight, I am ready’
I got in touch with Daniel Wison who corroborated that Ibinabo drove his SUV that night in question. ‘She’s my sister. We are from the same state and local government. It was the week of my mother’s burial and Ibinabo had come from Port-Harcourt to help me with the burial. She was wonderful and really supportive. That day, she needed the car to get to somewhere on the island and I asked her to pick any from the pool of cars in my compound. I was surprised when I got a call a couple of hours later that there was an accident. I rushed to the hospital, St Nicholas, and she was unconscious. But when she came out of it, she was delirious and traumatised. She was shaky. Look Charles, Ibinabo is a gentle soul. It was unfortunate that the accident happen but it was not intentional in anyway. And we have been begging the family of the late doctor. Who said we haven’t begged? I personally, made numerous visits to the house to see the widow and elders of the family. We attended the burial of the doctor. I was there. We begged and begged. Not because we think begging could bring the man back but just because it’s human nature to forgive. So, it’s not true that we remained aloof’ Daniel concluded.
It’s been much of a nagging battle for me to decide if I should put out this story or not. The initial hesitation was borne out of the fact that many people would misconstrue the new testimony as somewhat of a convenient revelation just to help a colleague, seeing that we are in the same industry.
But at the end of my internal consideration, a part of me decided to put it out anyway. First, to record a new chronicle of the whole sad accident which millions, including me, never knew happened. It’s better to be on the side of history which stands for true reportage of events in this case. And since Mr De Gaulle is very willing to give his account to any reporter or law enforcement agent for some measure of revision, I am prepared too to give out his number to members of the fourth estate of the realm and even the late doctor’s family to find out more from the fellow himself.
Finally, I have always maintained that we all are bound by the laws of our society. Ibinabo is serving a sentence passed by a law court and we respect that. We sympathise with her and as an industry would share the comfort between her and the family of the late Doctor.
But the final closure of this matter, beyond the law and prison sentence she would serve, rests on the family of the late Dr Giwa really. Now that there is a final vindication, as gleamed from the letter by the late doctor’s sister, what happens after Ibinabo serves her sentence? Would the family carry the hurt till the end of time?
A platform for reconciliation and forgiveness has to be set in motion. This is not just about the law now but about healing. Healing. Healing for all parties.

Denmark once again won the title of the most happiest nation on earth....
Even U.S. Democratic front-runners Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders have singled out the small Scandinavian country as an example of a happy, well-oiled society. On Wednesday, the United Nations made it official: It found Danes to be the happiest people on Earth, in a study of 156 countries.
Knud Christensen, a 39-year-old social worker, knows one reason why his compatriots are laid-back — they feel secure in a country with few natural disasters, little corruption and a near absence of drastic events.
"We have no worries," Christensen said, smiling as he stood on a Copenhagen street near the capital's City Hall. "And if we do worry, it's about the weather. Will it rain today, or remain gray or will it be cold?"
Oya Govenor Ambode answer this question ask by daddy freeze....
The Coolfm OAP, took to his instagram page this morning, he's asking governor Ambode to explain how he expert the CEO of Lekki gardens to Carry out all that he laid out yesterday from prison. Below is what he posted on his page:
QUESTIONS ARISING FROM THE PRESS STATEMENT AFTER HIS EXCELLENCY GOV. AMBODE'S VISIT TO LEKKI GARDENS SITE:
According to the story on http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/03/ambode-orders-evacuation-of-lekki-gardens-occupants, "The Lagos State Governor, Akinwunmi Ambode has ordered occupants in all houses built by Lekki Gardens to vacate their apartments in order for integrity test to be carried out on all the buildings to ascertain their safety. Scene of the collapsed building at Lekki , Lagos. The governor, who visited the scene of the five-storey collapsed building which killed 34 people in Lekki area of Lagos, was obviously displeased with what he saw and ordered immediate action. Addressing newsmen after the tour of the collapsed building site and other buildings owned by Lekki Gardens, Ambode ordered integrity test to be carried out on all the buildings by the company in Lagos to ascertain their safety. He said the developer should take responsibility of the relocation of occupants of the buildings as government would not wait for the buildings to kill more people". Question1: If according to reports, there are 600 families allegedly living in LEKKI Gardens homes in Lagos, where can these people be relocated to? EKO hotel & suites? Raddisson Blu? Or are we going to begin an IDP camp for them in Lagos??? Question2: Can't these integrity tests be done while occupants retain their residency?
Question3: "The developer should take responsibility of the relocation of occupants of the buildings as government would not wait for the buildings to kill more people".
How is Richard going to do this from prison? Or is he going to be taken from prison in handcuffs to the site to sign cheques for his clients who are slowly becoming 'internally displaced people'? Question4: How long are these LEKKI gardens residents going to be displaced for? is it 2 days? 1 week? 6 months, 1year or 2 years??? Question5: Is this how people were displaced from church for their own safety when prophets own happened or did church service/activities continue??? LagosNeedsAnswers

Warmbier was arrested in early January as he tried to leave the country after visiting as a tourist with a New Year's tour group.
In a statement made before his trial, the 21-year-old told reporters in Pyongyang he wanted the banner "as a trophy" for the mother of a friend.
He was seen emotionally begging for forgiveness during the news conference.
He said he had made "the worst mistake of my life" by stealing a propaganda banner from the staff-only area of a Pyongyang hotel.
The student was allegedly being offered a car worth $10,000 (£7,200) if he successfully returned to the US with the political slogan.
He attempted to board a flight from Pyongyang to Beijing on 2 January, he was detained by two airport officials.
