Cutehector:
She said phone for how much that she would have sex with him...

That means if the phone were to be an A list phone, she would reconsider...

Good thinking

umuna:
The family should not agree with any out of court settlement, rather let the law take its full course.

The price is 200 million. If Ibinabo has that, this case will be over.
Sadly, that is the price tag over Dr Giwa's life, according to this story.
I think the family should come out and refute this claim. Because it seems as if greed has now taken over.

I have lost a cousin to a learner driver, driving one way at Cele bus stop, Apapa - Oshodi exp... The driver was a young boy of 18. We set him free when for 3 days he couldn't eat and was wailing constantly... Whenever we came to the station, he falls on his knees begging and crying... You could see that his conscience was already so much of a burden talk more of a prison sentence... We let him go home after 3 days with the fa!ily insisting on at least paying for the burial for which we said no.

All your epistle has been summarized in just this story.
If she wasn't drunk driving, I still don't see why she should publicly say that she was drunk driving.
If the Giwa family didn't need the 200 million, why then did they ask for it? No matter the outcome of this case, the Giwa family should find closure. Because this one account from Ibinabo after 12 years is making them look like the villain instead of the victim.

iboboyswag:
Wrong! Her story headlined the magazine Genevieve of April 2010.. Issue 67.

She has been speaking but has bluntly refused to be wholesomely sorry... Sorry with excuse, reasons and tainted stories doesn't amount to full remorse. She truly needs to quit all these shenanigans and shameless acts of seeking pity(stories of I fainted, I am helping youths etc.) And focus on being truly sorry, shamelessly sorry!

The case can't still be made criminal and the act of trying to seek office so as to evade Justice... Is truly telling of how she views the whole issue.

And can you explain how someone can be 'wholesomely remorse'
Is she seeking to run for governorship? or President?
As far as I am concerned, that is the only offices that offer you immunity from prosecution.
Or, you all just want her to pause her life, while she is still breathing?

Adesolomon2014:
Writeup is touching but still yet doesnt erase wat loss she caused the said Dr Giwa's family...Imagine she were in the family's shoes, am sure she will do worse cus she is a fucking celebrity(egocentric fellows). Not all celebrities sha

texazzpete:
Yep. You’re right. If she had served her sentence at the time, she would have been long since free of this wahala.

Perhaps she should appeal to the Lagos State Govt for a plea deal. Accept guilt, accept a lighter prison sentence and have them commute it early for community service.

Sad case all round.

If what you said is the way it will go down, will the Giwa family find closure?
Well, since it's at the supreme court let it run its course. And whatever be the outcome, let everyone accept it.

walexbiz:
Sir you are wrong, sometimes round 2016 a car accident happened along Hospital road very close to agbonmagbe lodge at ebute-metta. A black Prado suv was over speeding and its brake malfunctioned, the driver couldn't bring it to a halt, the driver tried to ram the suv against the divider so as to bring it to a halt but it didn't as it climbed over the divider the driver had to steer it into vehicle stopped by traffic light and it climbed and destroyed three vehicles. Though nobody was hurt as they all escaped narrowly.

Could the driver of the Prado jeep maneuver his or her car and escaped while removing the plate numbers in that act of escapism?

texazzpete:
No. For 12 years the case has been in and out of the courts. Eyewitness testimonies have been there for anyone to look them up. Ditto for court proceedings.

This woman has been convicted by law courts...and an appeal court has upheld the conviction. We can already draw our own conclusions based on overwhelming evidence. Any 'side of the story' discussion from the actress should just be read to satisfy curiosity.

To be sincere if my 'enemy' was in such situation and seek for my advice, I will simply tell him or her to serve out her jail sentence and be done with it.
If Ibinabo had served her sentence however long it maybe, (except death penalty) she as well as the family would have found closure.

hush15:
I get your point but i wont follow a witness's statement here. I have had a similar case, not unto death but broken leg. Not my fault, you know how people cross indiscriminately on the express but when it happens, people dont see the fact that its wrong to cross the road the way nigerians do. A bike man carries a passenger and drives recklessly on lagos road and when you caution, its even the oassenger that will be telling you that dont you have eyes like 'hey, when you see me, stop driving'. Nigerian road users are terrible at it and when it happens, you hear different stories and the truth would never be spoken because of many sentiments. While trying to avoid colliding into the car in front of you, she swerved and found her car at the other aide of the road, that happens regularly on Lagos road especially in that lekki. You see some accidents and you wonder how did this happen! People dont understand that it can happen and they say all sorts, so i can relate with it.

However, again you are right. Its now a burden and she cant wish it away. She can only continue to plead with the family and pray God touches their heart. Jailing her indefinitely wont bring back the dead but she can do some time if letting her feel the pain of loosing a loved one would mediate the pain. They should just seek compensation and move on and probably compel to one or two duties of the demised one. 12years down the line, the deed is done and nothing has changed

In that same Lekki road, near one of the roundabout i had my first and only accident. throughout my stay in Lagos.
One of these danfo buses was coming dangerously behind me and blaring horns. I was watching my rear view mirror without knowing I was heading for a collision with one of the culverts. The guy sitting on the passenger's sit got alarmed and tried to steer the steering for me. I lost control and found myself jumping over to the side of the road. My on grace was that there was no oncoming vehicle.
People just concluded that it was "all these boys self". Date was December 25, 2000.
If jailing her will give the family closure, by all means jail her. But, I am irked by people trying to tell her to pause her life because she was unfortunately involved in an accident that claimed a life.

texazzpete:
This is not about bringing back the dead. This is about justice. Are you a child, that you do not know this?












You actually got something right for once. A poor danfo driver who commits a DUI hit-and-run on a very respected medical doctor from a prominent family would have been speedily found guilty and sentenced. In fact, the danfo driver would have showed MUCH more remorse instead of trying to manage the truth and evade justice over selfish career concerns.




.

For 12 years, we have heard only the Family's side of the story. And I say it's good she has spoken out. Almost everything we know about this case, is a one sided account until now.

texazzpete:
This is not about bringing back the dead. This is about justice. Are you a child, that you do not know this?




See above.



Are you actually so deluded as to claim that celebrities and rich people have it worse with law enforcement than regular people? Is this a case of self-brainwashing?

Yes, people expect a confession as a sign of true repentance and regret. People expect the first reaction to be much better. Most certainly the family are aggrieved that this lady fled without stopping to care for the doctor and that her initial series of moves were geared towards saving her career vs genuine moves for forgiveness.

How could she have fled when the jeep landed on top of the victims car? How did she even maneuver her way after that?
They claimed she was drunk, but she was active enough to have removed the plate number of the car she was driving.
The VIO verdict was reckless driving seeing that nothing happened to the jeep. And I ask again, how possible can a jeep that jumped a road divider and landed on another remain intact?
If the court is going to sentence her, let them do so. If the family wants an out of court settlement, abeg ask yourself what 200 million will be for? is it going to bring back their dead brother?
If Ibinabo was a nobody and she actually fled the scene of the accident, please do you really think that they would have caught up with him or her?
Some even want her to pause her life, because she was involved in an accident.
No sentiment here. If she is found guilty by the supreme court let them jail her or whatever sentence suits them.
But if the family wants an out of court settlement, then they should all be reasonable. It's sad the man died. But unless they are asking for her life, I don't see why she shouldn't continue living.

Olayinkacms:
For those feeling that it is because of political ambition that she is apologising may be right .
We dont do things right in this part of the world.she should have continue her social work.,this will give her solace that it was not intention that the incident..
However,no amount of justice can bring back the dead.
If she is lying the punishment of God will be more than what anybody can take.

Exactly.

agabusta:
No sir. She was granted bail on medical grounds. A popular line used by people of means in Nigeria to escape justice.
Moreover, the case is between her and the state. Not the family.

And I ask, who is demanding 200 million for out of court settlement?

LagosismyHome:
Sadly Ibinabo is trying to rewrite history because she wants to contest election .

She forgets there are witnesses and court records... in due time someone will respond back to this write up with evidence .

As if witnesses cannot be bought? Have you asked yourself how a car that was being driven by a drunk landed on another car, after having jumped over a road divider, will remain the same according to the VIO.. report?
The same driver was able to run away from the scene of the accident and change plate numbers, bearing in mind that the driver was drunk?

agabusta:
She is walking free today because she is not a danfo driver. Otherwise she'd have been in jail.

Have you ever heard that someone convicted by the appeal court of a crime is on bail?? In fact, her case is the first of such I'll hear of.

Which Danfo driver will get such benefit? So stop being sentimental. Her status has equally given her some benefits. Cases usually take long in Nigeria.

Go and read the Punch report on Supreme Court of the dead, dying and living cases part I, II and III and you'll be shocked how long it takes the Nigerian judiciary to complete a case from start to finish at the Supreme Court.

The report says it takes btw 15 to 30 years on the average.

She is on bail because they are trying to settle out of court and the family is asking for 200 million.

evexx1:
Aww I feel sorry for her.


So touching! But it shouldn't have taken her 12years to speak up, because it somehow seems convenient now.

If she has spoken out then, it will still be tagged arrogant because she is famous and have money.

mudiana:
Who come dey lie for this story now. She said she was unconscious and taken to d hospital, anoda story said she took d car papers nd ran away. Somebody that flew so high nd landed on anoda car should have been knocked out from that impact especially if the rider was a woman who according to the story was said to be drunk. I guess somebody helped her cover her tracks while she was taken to the hospital if you ask me. Wat do I even know, I no dey dere when e happen.

Thank you for thinking outside the box. Mynd is there claiming that the initial account was the truth, forgetting that in this case the family wants a pound of flesh. Maybe she landed on top their car and still maneuvered her way to the ground and doing some magic by removing the plate numbers. and still landing in a hospital bed.

Mynd44:
This is not a case of the Surajs. This is a State Vs Ibinapo case.

The Surajs were not the ones that dragged her to court so she should stop dragging them in her comments.

It is bad enough she killed their bread winner

Then why do they want out of court settlement to the tune of 200 million?

No matter the verdict, it cannot bring back the death.
Even if she is sentenced to death, it will still not bring back the dead.
It was an accident. And unless you have never been involved in one, will you judge her harshly. What will 200Milion do for the family? Bring back their dead brother?
I think having fame and wealth cones with a great risk in this country. Cos if Ibinabo has been a poor danfo driver, this case would have dragged this long? You want her to confess to drunk driving and she says NO. that means she is arrogant?
So, the sister is the one telling the truth? oh well their case, their life.

Kikikikohikohi.. subhuman without brain thinks he knows how we can get Biafra?? You know how we can get Biafra but you can't even see how buhari is running your shithole country.

His tactics is to derail the thread. Stop responding to him.

why the hell would any sane nigerian want to read that cow dung....??

Ojiofor:
Yes there will be a corresponding counter reaction by our youths while the Fulani dominated military will take over our towns and cities and kill more of our youths in cold blood.
Haven't Python dance2 in Abia and Rivers state taught you guys something?We don't have the ability to wage and sustain war against the state even for one day.This is not 1966 when we had Ojukwu as our military governor and leader over the whole Eastern region with all the military and security extablishment firmly under his control.

If this killings go on in Igbo land at this rate, even our political class will secretly arm the youths. Even the few days of the python dance experienced a backlash from the youths. And the military boys were equally uneasy as it went on.

OnyeOGA:
are they not the same people that were Jubilating over the killings of our brothers through operation Python dance
The guy said his mind and stop trying to be smart.

Nigerians like being sentimental and not objective in reasoning. The writer already mentioned names of middle belt leaders who were calling IPOB,, terrorists but have suddenly gone mute in this Benue killings.
Please face reality, find a way to defend yourselves as the writer advised. Trying to call the writer wicked or some of us that have spoken up, is just being childish.
We cannot wish away the Pogrom. We cannot wish away the recent killings of Operation python dance.

Skepticus:
Nigerians sure, deserve the kind of leaders they get.

They keep recycling the same leadership failures they parade as leaders and BIG MEN

They have allowed the CV of this guy distract them without investigating his quality of leadership as a Governor.

I witnessed the Crisis of the 2000s and the number of lives lost.
The Football player, Victor Moses lost both parents there.

His health is also another issue.

Is it true he has sickle cell anaemia

OUK... don turn basket mouth

SalamRushdie:
Jonathan years was my most prosperous year in Nigeria till date, my business picked up so much then and I achieved a lot but funny snuff I campaigned against that govt and voted for this satanic cow called Buhari ...i feel really bad about everyday ..

Some of us said it then, that though Jonathan lacks the will to take up corruption head on. Buhari isn't an option either. But we were told that he is a man of 'integrity' ....LoL

Something tells me that its either Buhari has his way in 2019, or the military will take over in 2019. All these anarchy is a silent call and prayer for the military to come in.

And someone said governance in Nigeria is spiritual. We just dey mumu ourselves for this country.
