A female customer who was in the place answered and told them that they were disturbing the peace of the place and this earned her a slap and she retaliated. A fight ensued and other customers separated them. The man was infurated and threatened Mrs. Wilkie

SHOCKING!!! OBAMA's Brother Lives In Abject Poverty (PHOTO)
Today, while Barack, inset, entertains at the White House, flies aboard Air Force One and is a friend of film stars and royalty, his brother George,30, main picture, is to be found slumped in his corrugated iron shack which even fellow slum-dwellers regard as a hovel.
Details of his unorthodox lifestyle emerged with news that he has agreed to appear in a documentary film being made by one of Barack Obama's most trenchant critics.
Whilst the President inhabits the luxurious surroundings of the Oval Office and flies aboard Air Force One, his half-brother George Obama lives in a notorious African slum
George Obama has battled addictions to drink and drugs for most of his life at the same time as his relative has enjoyed a meteoric rise to power
The 30-year-old, who was once hooked on cocaine, says that his surname is frequently a burden to him
As a tall, strangely familiar figure leaves his one-room shack in a notorious African slum this week, a few people jokingly call out to him: ‘Mister President! Mister President!’
Heading for breakfast through his junk-strewn yard, stepping over streams of sewage, the appearance of this slim, angular man prompts giggles and pointing from children in rags playing in the muck.
The man’s name is George Hussein Obama and his half-brother is Barack Hussein Obama, Kenya’s most famous son, the first black President of the U.S. and the most powerful man in the world.
The two men may share the same father, but while Barack Obama was born in Hawaii to his father’s American second wife, George — born in Kenya — was the product of Obama Senior’s fourth marriage.
Today, while Barack entertains at the White House, flies aboard Air Force One and is a friend of film stars and royalty, George, 30, is to be found slumped in his corrugated iron shack which even fellow slum-dwellers regard as a hovel.
Details of his unorthodox lifestyle emerged with news that he has agreed to appear in a documentary film being made by one of Barack Obama’s most trenchant critics.
Called 2016, and directed by the production team behind Schindler’s List, the film sets out the supposed horrors of another four years of Obama in office — though George does not criticise the President on screen. It is the idea of U.S. author Dinesh D’Souza, whose book The Roots Of Obama’s Rage paints a deeply unflattering portrait of the ‘narcissistic’ President.

CODED ROMANCE: Dear Coded-ish Readers, Pls I need Your Advice
I
am a young lady (24yrs) and here is my issue. I have known this guy 4
over 3yrs now. However, we lost contact within the first 6 months, and
he went into an intimate relationship with my best friend almost
immediately. When we came back again after seven months, he gave an
explanation that quite justifies him- my friend practically threw
herself on him when he went to her for help on how to reach me.

totally blame this guy. My friend could not make an attempt to defend
herself in any way at all. Although I felt betrayed, disrespected and so
on, I still forgave this two people and they are still part of my life
till date.
