MAY THE GOD OF SANCTITY AND RIGHTEOUS LIVING SMITE YOU DEAD! PROMOTER OF EVIL! DEVIL INCARNATE! GO, LET THE FAMILY GIVE YOU OF HER WEALTH!

Here comes the religious militants!



The ones that worship the God that loves death.

Our leaders don't know their priority. Even if the masses miss the point, at least the leaders should know better.

Even though we shouldn't celebrate the death of people, not every one deserves an award.
The person who designed Nigeria national flag is living in abject poverty, yet dumb entertainers are are flexing with governors.
Our soldiers who die in active service are given a pat on the back, while musicians wine and dine polirobbers.

Are you satisfied by every law that govern you where you currently reside? ( Including the gay marriage) Answer the question truthfully, and if you don't what can you frigging do about it?

I am happy we are not allowing rubbish into our society all in the name of liberalism....

ooua: @op, Who are we to judge? You sound so religious but remember what our Lord Jesus said to the people who brought the adulterous woman to him - let him without sin cast the first stone. We take it that you are the one without sin? Remember this young lady has got family members, how do you want them to feel after reading this your so called article? We are waiting for your apology please.

WHATEVER IS WRONG, IS WRONG. NOBODY IS REJOICING OVER HER DEATH. BUT THE HYPE ABOUT SOMEONE WHO HAD NOT LIVED A LIFE WORTHY OF EMULATION AND YET BEING CELEBRATED, IS WHAT IS WORRISOME. THE SOCIETY IS GRADUALLY DRIFTING AWAY FROM PROMOTING SANCTITY AND UPRIGHT LIVING, TO PROMOTING EVIL ALL IN THE NAME OF BEING SOCIAL, LIVING IN THE JET-AGE, FREEDOM AND THE LIKE. SO IF YOU ARE WAITING FOR AN APOLOGY FROM A PEOPLE THAT SEE THINGS IN THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE, YOU ARE LIKE A HUNTER WHO INTEND TO SHOOT HIS BULLETS AT THE ALMIGHTY GOD AND HE'S WAITING FOR WHEN HE WOULD COME OUT OF THE SKY. 'E GO TEY DERE'

I asked you a fcking gaddam question. Answer the question with and answer, not a question:

You don't have an opinion of what your legislators (your elected representatives) should set as law for your society?

What about the other 'rubbish' that we allow in the name of conservatism?

inufele2:

What I think does not matter afterall we cannot all agree with all the laws in place. It is up to the legislators to make laws and since we elected them whatever laws they make have to be obeyed.

Even before the laws came, they were written in our hearts......don't be deceived...there's no way u'll do wrong and wouldn't know it's wrong?.....ur conscience immediately pricks u....but d devil blinds ur heart to making it look as if d wrong is right....even wen ur conscience knows it's wrong.
just give me an example of law dat u dont

Who defines what is moral and immoral in the life of another? We Nigerians to dey fake morality and this is not even taking us anywhere, is morality in the man who stand on a pulpit and collect billions to purchase private jet that is moral? or the political bishops that are moral? Obama is 666 we all scream then Jonathan should be 10 10 10 or 12 12 12 because the level of callousness they show to the people is unimaginable. Goldie is gone, let her rest in peace and lets address real issued of our country.

The exact opposite of the 'rubbish' liberalism allows.


You name your rubbish, and i'll name mine.

bukatyne: How are you? You ran wawy from the Muslim wife thread.

I am fine. how are you too?
I didnt run. there was just too many people speaking my mind.I didnt see a reason to continue.

@op, I see so many Nigerians display intelligence,writing on blogs etc without much to show for it. someone else displays flesh and or sell gossips and boom, is in money.

a lot needs to be done, if Nija must be better.

About ten years ago I lost a friend in an armed robbery incident. Obviously the armed robbers were not satisfied with robbing they needed to make a point by harming someone in the house and my friend’s mother was their target. As they swung the axe my friend who was the scholar of our class in secondary school protected his mother with his head….he died; no national award, no postmortem speech from the Governor and of course no celebrity burial; he was just another guy, the fact that he took a battle axe to his head for his mother was irrelevant

This and many more of it happens in a country wherein people get millions both in local and foreign currency for playing football; a country wherein comedians shake hands with the President and women who kiss strange men on camera in the name of acting take home National Award and an immoral youth who made fame singing about his private part is given special opportunity to interview the President in a desperate campaign strategy because the thinking is that the community is populated by zombies and bimbos who will vote in a PHD holder on the “honour” of a nuisance whose only relevance to society, apart from lewd music, is competition in air and space. Thus the question every sane Nigerian should be asking is when will this madness of underserved honour stop?

The death of the musician from Ekiti, Goldie Harvey, and the attempt to make it seem like we lost an icon is another and perhaps the worst of all these madness. I do not believe that death, which we will all face, should make you a hero except you died an honourable death. When people just drop dead we grieve and console the family not tell blatant lies as to who they were. This is why the statement of the Ekiti State Governor is worrisome. Mr. Kayode Fayemi is reported to have described Goldie as a “great daughter of Ekiti State” and one has to wonder upon what was this greatness achieved? Are people now great for singing meaningless songs with promiscuous suggestions or for taking and publishing suggestive photos of themselves?

Since when did we consider it greatness to appeal to the intimate cravings of perverts and run after men on camera in the name of a reality show that is far from reality? Since when did it become great achievement that a lady is even thought of as being a junkie in her life time? How can this be great?

In the past fathers will tell their children “don’t bring shame to this family” but nowadays shame and shamelessness is celebrated with such noise that you think the Devil himself is in charge of people’s life and even he has gone crazy.

Ironically, around the same period this unfortunate death occurred Governor Theodora Orji of Abia State was commending Mrs. Nwanyieze Prosper for winning the Purity Queen title for a lady who kept her virginity until her marriage; surprisingly some Nigerians criticized the Governor and even ‘accused’ him of giving her a car whereas Governor Kayode Fayemi was praised for describing Goldie as a “bright star” among other accolades including that she lived a “fulfilled life”. Indeed the world is upside down.

The problem with giving honour to people who did dishonourable acts is that people will definitely emulate them. The Dolly Parton’s of this world made it a fashion for women to expose their cleavage; years on women have lost their husbands to such exposure and homes have collapsed; the Dr. Dre’s of this world made being “gangster” a fashionable thing and years later the gangsters are increasing and we even have a gangster in the White House killing innocent people with Drones….Martin Luther’s dreams became a Nightmare. And this list goes on and on; for every irresponsible person you honour you make irresponsibility the “swag”, the same way for every man who dies for his mother you honour you make standing up against oppression and protecting the weak the in-thing….make your choice.

Lastly, we must clarify two issues. The first one is with regards to speaking “evil” about the dead while the second one is the “who are you to Judge” comedy.

Firstly, the dead has already met what he or she put forward hence there is no need to speak of its evil. What there is need to do however is to either call the living to an example to live by if the dead is worthy of emulation or to warn the living to stay away from a wasteful lifestyle like that of the dead who lived life as if death was never going to come and this is the real lesson here; life is short, if you live it like Goldie your death may come and meet you in that state; what will you tell your Creator? We cannot pretend this is not the lesson here; it will be one lie too many

Secondly, they ask us not to Judge and we say to them since we are in the spirit of not judging kindly don’t judge the location of your mouth so that you put your food in your nose. We say to them that in this spirit of not judging please cross the road without judging that a vehicle is close enough to knock you down; maybe when you are in the air you will realise your stupidity.

We do not Judge a person who has Faith that he or she will be in the hellfire, we do not Judge that the person’s bad is more than his/her good, we do not Judge if God will forgive a believer…..but we Judge that fornication and the promotion of it is EVIL, and that the one who represented evil dead does not make evil good.

Some others will say an adult can do what he or she likes and you don’t have to force your life on others. The question we have for this set of confused mentally colonized perverts is that this same justification is given to homosexuality and it will soon be given to Inbreeding so that if a grown up man and his grown up daughter say they fell in love and want to marry your kind will say well it’s their life, it does not affect me….can you see now that you are sick?

Conclusively, the lessons from this unfortunate incident can be summarized as thus;

1) Death can come at any time; be prepared to meet your Lord.

2) Fame and fortunes are but illusions, what matters is your relationship with your Creator.

3) The enjoyment of this world is fleeting; don’t let it deceive you.

4) Live a good life; one that does not involve promoting lewdness or any type of evil; death and Judgment is real and it is no respecter of status.

5) It was the honour given her musical mentors that led the lady to not just music but a meaningless form upon which her life ended so let’s ensure that we do not turn scum into icons because people will sure emulate them.
May God Almighty give the family fortitude to bear the lost and guide them aright.

2) Writes good English as far it has to do with dehumanizing another

My Advice: Upgrade and focus on the good part in peoples life.

No one said she does not have a good part or she is a bad person.

The key message is to watch what parts/personalities/behaviours we celebrate and iconise and hence indirectly adding to the shaping of our society.

That is not irrational, that is sense.

We all like glamour. Beauty appeals to our eyes that's why a guy or girl will be naturally drawn to a beautiful person over an ugly one. The 'worldly' people are wiser than the 'godly' ones and have better packaging. The godly ones should learn to seize opportunities, brand themselves in nice packages and position themselves properly.

My friend Sagamite, I honestly think Goldie does not deserve that level of condemnation (from my point of view) simple because she had her life in the light, some of this things they do are just to entertain and majority of us love it at least I know I like Beyonce just like Dbanj sang but she is seen to a lot of people as one illuminate sort of which doesn't bother me, let her sing and let her song make some sense to my hearing. Oya he don do make we let Goldie rest I beg una. So what's next

Whenever anything goes public it automatically becomes a matter for others to judge. Therefore everyone is entitle to their views.

In my view Goldie was an entertainer and that was the life she chose and whatever she'd showcased was her persona which might not necessarily be her complete life style.

She was at big brother to perform a role that was given to her to encourage people to watch the show.

She kept her married life secret because that was her personal life and she was entitled to do so.

After her sudden death millions of people all over the world are researching about who she was, where she came from, what had lead to her accidental death on Valentine's day of all days.

That was why she had been recognised by her State Governor.

She had lived her life as she wanted to. It was unfortunate she died too soon before she could reach her full potential.

She might not be your kind of hero or saint. However, whether you like her or not she will always be remembered and talked about. As you have done today. She had made it into the History book in Nigeria and in the World as a whole.

The more she is talked about, the more people will research about her and have their own views. And you can not stop that !!

So what have you done in the public eye to be remembered for !!!

This comments doesnt stop some of u from dancing to alingo and azonto bunch of hypocrites

vicade: Is there a global standard for nuisance ? Cos I'm thinking the original poster is a nuisance in my view same way I think Kim Kardashian is a nuisance but I don't think her over 16 million followers on twitter and many more that watch her show think the same.

Goldie was a good musical artist with hit singles such as Jawo Jawo,Say my Name,Don't touch my body and Skibobo. Her music videos were really good and I like her songs. Maybe Dr Kayode Fayemi does too.

The Original Poster is just being overly self righteous. Goldie could sing and she had great videos.

Its people like the original poster that will frown against indecent exposure and yet watch porn or patronize a love peddler by the side.

What's a nuisance to you may not be a nuisance to me. Its a free world not a communist society.

You mean she sang just 4 songs ( not even up to an album), spent 91 days in Big Brother House and she became a celebrity?
What a society !

Personally, I am not condemning her.

My concerns are more about the value the society puts over her type in contrast to the value they put over other people that add more value to society.

I remember when Rashidi Yekini died, some foools were saying the government should have funded his health issues. These same mugus did not say Beko Ransome Kuti or Gani Fawehinmi's health bills should have been funded by the government because their immense sacrifice and contribution to the masses is not so funky. In the society we live in nowadays, if you can dance Alanta and shoot football, then you should be made Grand Commander of Commanding Commanders of the Federal Republic of Commanders of Nigeria by these funky mugus of Generation St(u)pid.

https://www.nairaland.com/930325/rashidi-yekini-dead/6#10751417

Goldie is free to sing, dance and gyrate as much as the law allows but I get offended with society for putting that as some significant social contribution.

This is a great piece.
Straight on point.
Well thought out and articulately presented.
However the battle is such that cannot be won.
We are in the evil days and evil has taken over from good. This is critical to the fulfillment of the scriptures which says [b]" .....But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 4 traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godliness but denying its power.....[/b]2 Timothy 3: 1 - 5.
This is the spirit at work and no stopping it until the appearance of the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen

well i dont want to be remember for shamelessness, dishonour to marriage and nudity

John W. Gardner:



"The society which scorns excellence in plumbing as a humble activity and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because it is an exalted activity will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy: neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water"

That is our society we don't celebrate the humble when they excel, and we praise the 'celebrities' in their shoddy behaviours.
