          According TMZ '' Chris Brown   and his baby mama,  Nia Guzman , have called a truce in their never-ending custody war ... deciding for the sake of Royalty that they'll throw a joint 4th birthday party. Royalty turns 4 on Sunday and we're told there's only gonna be one bash this year. In the past, Chris and Nia have each thrown  their own parties  for Royalty because they weren't speaking to one another, but we're told they're actually on good terms now ... trying to co-parent.

We're told every Disney princess from Cinderella to Jasmine will be there along with a fairy godmother. They're having a horse and carriage with a grand duke and coachman. On the menu ... crab cakes, California rolls, shrimp tempura, as well as peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, mac and cheese and burgers for the kids.

Tahir, in his application wanted the court to note that, “the 1st defendant and his counsels headed by Onyeachi Ikpeazu, SAN and Emeka Etiaba, SAN, at every turn are deliberately employing tactics aimed at frustrating the trial.  While showing a sort of understanding on the absence of the Metuh because “he’s being tried in absentia”, Tahir expressed displeasure on the absence of counsel to 1st defendant “without prior notice to the parties involved or the court”.  Relying on Section 349 (8), ACJA,

         The Nigerian Military has received credible intelligence report of a plan by Amnesty International (AI) to release a false report on fictitious rape incidents in IDP camps in the North East region of Nigeria. This malicious trend by AI is becoming a frequent ritual and it is rather unfortunate. In times like this, Amnesty International is expected to apply the natural law of liaiso n by working with security agencies as partners. This would have been the best way to ensure that insurgency and crisis is completely wiped off rather than engaging in falsehood, maligning the military and painting her in bad light at any slight opportunity.
