EXCLUSIVE: ‘She Was The Most Beautiful Person I Ever Met’ – Husband Opens Up To NET On Late Nigerian Singer Goldie

By Victoria Ige

It would have been disappointing if drama did not follow her death. Goldie, the unpredictable Goldie is pulling surprises even in death.
Just last night, a man believed to be her husband emerged, posting intimate pictures on Facebook, sharing same on her twitter handle, and engaging with several curious fans (he even issued a warning to Prezzo, the man many of us have come to know as the late singer’s bonafide partner).
There were rumours she may have been married or involved with an expatriate, but no one could confirm during her lifetime. But what was hidden for years tore the lid and came out last night, with the startling revelation by the man whose name is Andrew. Andrew Harvey.

While still mourning his wife and preparing to come to Lagos, he was kind enough to speak exclusively with Nigerian Entertainment Today…

So sorry about your loss. And so sorry to be contacting you under this circumstance. Nigerians are shocked to discover, through your FB post, that Goldie was married. I’m wondering if you’ll able to give me more details, and if we can have your permission to print some of the photos in the folder ‘Memories of my darling wife’?
You may print the photos, as for the details it really depends on what it is you’re looking for


Thanks Andrew. Just to clarify a few things
Like?


When did you wed her? And were you still married as at when she passed yesterday?
We wed in December 2005 and were very much married when she passed indeed I was talking to her on arrival in Lagos before the fateful event
I see you moved back to England. Do you have another family?
I work in Malaysia, we have a private home in UK, I do not have a second family


Also did you have kids together?
No kids, we were planning this year


There had been speculation for many years that she was married to an ‘oyinbo’ man. But no one could lay hands on anything. Why did you keep it a ‘secret’?
Our private life is nothing to do with work life, there has to be a balance


How did you hear of her death? I found out you last saw her in December?
I was talking to her on arrival in Lagos before the fateful event


How did you meet her? She must have been very young…
I met her at a friend’s leaving party and fell in love straight away, but had to work hard to persuade her I was genuine


So you will be planning to come here for burial rites…
Yes I have applied for visa and shall come next week


But how did you manage the Prezzo drama?
Prezzo was part of BBA game, just like in the movies, there was nothing to fear


But funny it dragged way beyond BBA
It dragged because the media dragged it, other wise it would have died naturally. Prezzo will say anything to get attention


Do you think he fell in love? And did you ever think Susan liked him for a minute…?
People fall in love and it’s not impossible to love more than one person, but there are different levels. She liked him initially, but began to despise him and distanced herself as he tried to use her she complained he was very manipulative


How did you come about your alias ‘Oyibopeppay?
Oyiiibopeppay is a name used in the villages for white man getting burned in the sun. I used to work in the bush erecting BTS for MTN and Glo
You have direct access to her password? The memories album was posted on her twitter. Or you requested for an admin to post?
I am an official admin. I don’t need any password but my own. It was authorised by Goldie


One last question: so much speculation on cause of death. I see from your facebook timeline that you’ve followed the reports. Have the doctors/family/label told you what the cause of death is?
An autopsy is being carried out and we will await results. The rest is speculation and hearsay


And did she have any medical condition?
She had no medical condition,


Is it true she was in India recently?
She was in Malaysia, we spent Christmas together away from prying eyes


What will you miss most about her?
Everything, she was the most beautiful person I ever met, no moment was wasted. Sweet, intelligent, sexy and a magnificent cook!!!!


And she was a determined young lady…
Very. That’s what I liked about her


Are you originally from England? Was she officially a citizen of your country by marriage? Or that was not concluded?
I’m from England and was processing Nigerian citizenship before I was transferred to Malaysia. Of course she was citizen of UK before we met, she lived and schooled there


She was indeed a star, as I’m sure you’ve seen from the tributes coming from far and near. Even the BBC and Billboard recognise her star
Yes we saw it on BBC news tonight. It is a devastating loss, but I support just as much wherever she has gone to.


May her soul rest in peace
Thank you.

No words!

I think we are missing what the lady said.

She used the word pram where you have to lay a baby down.

She said keeping a baby upright is the best position. So in front or at the back it doesnt really matter as long as the baby is upright!

The point behind it is vile and just this side of incestous, not to mention a charming throwback to the Middle Ages. Why on earth can't

these girls be taught to believe in their own values without it being somehow tied to their father? They are being taught they only have

value if they are with a man-their father or the man he hands them off to. That is going to make for some maladjusted girls. What if her

parents divorce? What if shes Molested? What if the father dies? What if he is a jerk? What do any of those things do to a girl who has tied

her entire self-worth to what men think of her?

"Purity" is why women and girls in Asian, indian, middle eastern cultures are murdered by the thousands. If anyone as much as hints they

aren't pure, their FATHERS and BROTHERS HAVE THE RIGHT to kill them. It's not even considered crime, it's "honor". What's great about that?


The quote above from MINUTE says it all.
This covenant should be made with GOD only and not their father
why lighting a candle under a cross?

the whole thing looks very lofty but definitely very creepy and shrouded in mystery. why exchange of rings? this is not too different from dabbling in some kind of "craft"

nah! nah!

I will commit my kids to God everyday, train them in the way of the Lord and pray for them all the way. The rest is in God's hands.

[b]Strictly For Men!

Financial Intelligence Update 20 for November!

There is a grave error I have observed gaining tremendous ground in Africa and indeed Nigeria. In 7 out of 10 homes, the financial head of the family is the woman! The empowered man is becoming a threatened specie, while the world is getting filled with men who refuse to take charge, and are not ready to push themselves any further than they have been thrown in life.

It is frightening to observe how quickly we have moved from a world where the man was the breadwinner to a world where they share the bread winning responsibility to this place, where men are comfortable just eating the bread, whoever won it! There is a strategic devilish attack on the family, the shepherds are being stricken, and the sheep cannot hold together. Once the head of the house is weakened, the wife is limited in expression, and the children have wrong models, the future is altered and set!

As a man, married or single, you must
1. Take financial intelligence seriously!
2. Stop pushing your wife to the risky businesses, take the lead and help her to follow.
3. Beware of the strange woman, every time you sleep with a woman not your wife, you decimate your leadership and authority. Whether you are discovered or not.
4. Things may be looking good, just because you have not yet hit the ground floor. Don't look at where you are, look at the trend.

Man, take the issue of money seriously. Go for more for your family, and don't give the devil a foot hold in your life!

Share with those you love.

Dear OP,

Please dont be quick to label the child. It has consequences.Except its a very bad case, he or she can lead normal lives if they are on the spectrum.

Also dont put the child in a place where other kids are said to be diagonosed with such, it has a retarding effect.

My son didnt start to speak till he was almost 4 years.
We had been told all sorts of dampening news but i and my husband joined our faith together and continued to prophesy on him and also annoint his tongue daily.

He attends a normal school with normal children and we also ensure we engage him verbally as much as possible at home even though it was hard work. We also got his elder sister to do her bit. We also cut down on the TV and increased other interactive activities.

We also got some guidance from a child specialist and a speech and language therapist. Most of the information we have today was downloaded from the internet.

Today he is almost 6 years, so full of energy. he is in Grade one in school. He speaks good english, can express himself properly and has a way with words that is so quaint and enchanting. Even his pediatrician couldnt believe the improvement. He loves to draw and paint and also loves playing with the piano/keyboard.

Let nobody label your child, he or she is just different from others. celebrate his uniqueness, find out his or her gift or talent and encourage it. the truth is its the parents that can do the work better than the specialists, but the specialists can provide the guidance. Dont shield him from other children just ensure you're around to provide guidance.

I hope this helps.

His widow Josephine  said: “There are not many words that can express this excruciating pain and the hole that will forever be in my heart. I am confused and overwhelmed at the thought of never seeing you again.”

I’m confused, overwhelmed, says Ajuonuma’s widow

People trickled into Harbour Point Events Centre, off Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, Lagos. Security personnel frisked all the guests. The mood was sober. 
It was the venue of a service of songs held yesterday for the late Dr. Levi Chibuike Ajuonuma, who died in the June 3 Dana Air plane crash.
An hour delay was needed to allow the “Abuja delegates” led by Petroleum Minister Diezani Alison-Maduekwe and Group Managing Director of Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Andrew Yakubu, to join the congregation.
After a short prayer which started off the programme at 4:04pm, an eclectic praise-and-worship session followed. It featured songs from popular Nigerian languages, which lightened the mood, dispelling the moody ambience that earlier hung thick in the expansive hall.
From then on, the programme, save for when one of the deceased’s daughter, Mimi, broke down in tears while paying tribute to her dad, lived up to the theme of celebration.
Electrifying performances of the Mountain of Fire and Miracles (MFM) Orchestral, described by Mrs. Alison-Maduekwe as “angelic,” lit up the hall, ensuring those wearing long and heavy faces only have to do so for a moment.
A short documentary on “Livi,” as the deceased was fondly called by associates and family, also played its part in lessening people’s grief by portraying Levi as a vivacious, fulfilled and accomplished person who lived his life to the fullest.
The documentary described Levi as a critic of fuel subsidy removal, which he later defended. But when ask why he changed his view, he was quoted as saying, “It is easy to criticise when you are outside but when you are inside and know the truth, it is easy to change your view.”
The homily would have allowed people the needed time to grief while remembering glimpses of Levi’s interaction with them but Pastor Kehinde Adegbolahan, MFM’s Assistant General Overseer, delivered a poignant and perhaps, the shortest one in such a service, lasting less than 10 minutes.
“The most important thing is not the question of why God allowed it but the life lived. One thing I noticed in his life was that he was a prayer warrior. One day, we too will go the way our brother has gone. How are we living the life God has given us?” he said.
 Justifying the theme, he said: “Many people died without making any impact and they are buried in an unknown grave. Our brother is in heaven. He died having made great impact.”
Mrs. Alison-Maduekwe, who wrapped up her tribute with a song, described Levi as ‘a consummate professional’ loved by everybody.’
She said: “When I walked into OPEC headquarters a few months ago, everybody knew him and shared their pain. Therefore, it is a great loss. If we know how beautiful the place Levi has gone is, perhaps, we will be killing ourselves but thank God for keeping that secret from us until we cross to the other side.”
A representative of NNPC’s Group Public Affair Division said: “Though, he was with us for less than 10 years, his impact exceeded that of 30 years. His impact is felt even in far away Warri where I was before moving to Abuja, especially when we needed to redeem the image of the corporation.”
Levi, whose favourite quotes as stated by his wife included “know God for yourself, learn how not to react but act,” was born on December 2, 1959 in Enugu, the last of six children. His father is a native of Ideato South in Imo State. He was married with eight children, four boys and four girls. 
His widow Josephine  said: “There are not many words that can express this excruciating pain and the hole that will forever be in my heart. I am confused and overwhelmed at the thought of never seeing you again.”
His daughter, Mimi, said: “Family devotions will never be the same again. I never thought this day would come so soon and in the way it did. I cannot imagine what my life would be without my dad, when he had been there for me my entire life.
“They say you do not know what you got until it is lost. The truth is you knew what you had, you just never knew you would lose it. Mimi, he is that person that will always show up.”
Another of his daughters, Sarah, said: “Even though he was very light hearted, he had a serious side, which he needed to raise his eight children. I will never forget the time we spent together, even though it ended far too soon. Strong work ethics.”
For Obinna Levi Ajuonuma Jr.,  “the last moments we shared were victory moments. So, regardless of whatever the devil wants to say and do, we won! I walked across that stage and you live to witness my graduation. I will forever give that testimony.” 
 His son, Michael, noted: “I am going to miss your Bible readings and your voice during praise and worship. I am going to miss our current affairs talks. I am going to miss updating you on the latest craze. I am going to miss seeing your name on the celly as incoming call. I could not have asked for a better earthly father.
“Thank you for teaching me the power of humility, thank you for the physical, emotional, and financial security, thank you for stressing the importance of education, health, and exercise. I know you know how much I love you. I just wish I told you more often.”
His daughter, Becky, said: “ You were always a blessing to those around you and lived your life for God and because of this, I know you are in a place where everyone dreams of going, heaven. You laid the Christian foundation for us and this I believe is one of the greatest gifts you have given us. Your life was a testimony that God is real and that we are nothing without God.”
For Debbie and Daniel, his children : “We never realised how much our father meant to us, until the day Dana Air Flight 992, a McDonnel Douglas MD-83 aircraft took him from us. When our parents are living, we feel that they stand between us and the cruel world and even death; but when they are gone, we find ourselves standing in the forefront of the battle line, to stand or fall alone, without their aid. We lost our motivation, but now we have to motivate ourselves. He explains the saying that bad things happen to good people.”

..........

i was amazed to see this signboard of a church.

@poster, i believe people have misunderstood your question or your intention hence the harsh comments.

I advice you seek counsel from a good marriage counsellor before getting hitched.

Better still if you and your fiance both attend marriage counseling in your church might go a long way.

The questions and unanswered longings must be resolved before you say "I do"

Read books on godly marriage and discuss together with him

Learn to communicate your needs to each other.

Try to succeed at this so as to avoid falling out of love with each other

All the best.

THE TRUE TEST OF SINCERE LOVE IS TOLERANCE OF ERRORS

You are not what you think you are, but what you think, you are!

As much as its good to have high standards remember you are not infallible too.

Don't be too hard on yourself! My advise is to marry someone who can make you laugh and break down your defenses. It will be a good match but he will sometimes drive meticulous you up the wall.

Your instincts on the basic nature of people is a pot of gold, pls keep it but you need to learn tolerance because it's a virtue you will need in marriage.

Lastly you can never be totally ready for marriage you keep learning even to your last breathe.

All the best!

You come first poster because you have to work on yourself to a level to be able to bring up your kids properly. Especially psychologically .

No body should take the place of God in your life. Not even your hubby!

Pls do a reality check, put things in their right perspectives, drastically reduce your expectations from your husband and above all love yourself so much more!

18 years is long and kudos to you for still hanging on.

But things might not be as bad as you think if only you take the right steps first which is loving yourself and putting God first.

Peace.

Any news on these children yet?

I am yet to hear any news station report it.

[quote author=IYA NGBALI]no wonder my account balance is always very low,they have been helping themselves to my money[/quote


Your comment and the picture of the ATM balance page got me ROTFLMAO!

I just heard that Kosi has been found and returned safely to her family.

Sometimes you can't fix what is broken.......

Only God can fix all things .........if only you can just believe .......and allow Him

.

True, a covenant is very powerful, Keep away from married men or women, for dignity sakes even if holiness is not an option to people.


I totally agree with this poster.

dunno whether this story is true or not!

Read below, the story of a woman mourning the loss of her daughter,

It is indeed a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God!

Thanks.

 

HER STORY....................It is almost a year since my daughter Fadeke died and though it is very Painful recounting the details of her death to the public, I need to do this in the hope that other young ladies will learn from her story.

 

My husband and I are in our early fifties and besides Fadeke, the eldest, we have three other children. Over the years, we did our best to impart sound morals and values into our children though we did not become committed Christians until about five years ago. All our children are single and live at home with us.

 

About eighteen months ago, Fadeke began having headaches; we did not make much of this and she took analgesics whenever the headaches came but when the headaches became persistent, she went to her office clinic to see the doctor.

 

She was treated for malaria and typhoid and for a while she seemed okay but the headaches soon returned with a vengeance. Her condition became so serious that she had to take her annual leave because we felt that she just needed to rest. She spent most of leave sleeping and occasionally watching TV and by the time she resumed back at work, she had fully recovered.

 

Everything went smoothly for about two months then Fadeke started complaining about the headaches again and it was now accompanied by dizziness. This time around, my husband insisted on a full medical check-up for her but when she did this, the doctor still could not determine what was wrong with her. We even had her tested for HIV but the results came back negative; we were perplexed and did not know what to do. Fadeke was in pain and getting weaker by the day; at that point, my husband and I went to tell our church leadership about it, we were in dire need of physical, emotional and spiritual support.

 

When our pastor heard all that was going on, he advised us to join him in a three days prayer and fasting session to seek the face of the Lord. We were more than willing so for the following three days, our family asked God to show us the cause of Fadeke's ailment and give us a way out of the situation.

 

When I went to bed on the night of the last day of the praying and fasting, I had a dream. In the dream, I saw the Lord and He told me that Fadeke's condition was a result of an action she took. He said that she had "gone against covenant" by dating a married man; the man's wife was a committed Christian and He was fighting her battles for her. I was alarmed and woke up in a panic; immediately, I woke my husband up, told him of my dream and we began to pray for God's mercy.

 

The next morning, we told our pastor about my dream and he said that the way out was to find out the identity of the woman and get her to forgive Fadeke but when we confronted Fadeke, she denied being in a relationship with a married man. It was as if Fadeke's denial triggered something because her condition grew worse and she had to be admitted but the doctors could not really help, as they could not pinpoint what was wrong with her.

 

A few days later, I called one of Fadeke's closest friends, Gladys, and told her about my dream and asked her if she knew the person Fadeke was dating; Gladys told me that Fadeke was indeed dating one of her married colleagues in the office. I was alarmed at this because I felt that my husband and I had brought her up to know better than that but evidently, I was wrong.

 

On further prompting, Gladys told me that Fadeke had been dating the man for a little over three months when his wife somehow got to know about their affair.

 

Fadeke had told her that the woman had gotten her phone number from her husband's phone and pleaded with her to leave her husband alone but Fadeke had responded by telling the woman to stop disturbing and to sort the issue out with her husband (I was stunned when I heard this). When her pleas met deaf ears, the woman had told Fadeke that she gave her seven days to stop the affair or else she would have herself to blame then she dropped the phone.

 

The next day, Fadeke had told her lover about the conversation with his wife and he had apparently gone home afterwards and warned his wife off Fadeke; that was the last Fadeke and Gladys heard of the woman. Fadeke's health problem had started barely a month after that incident. I was horrified that my daughter could behave in such a manner but all I was concerned about was the way forward. Without further ado, I decided to seek out the man Fadeke was dating in her office with the hope that I could get to meet his wife through him.

 

At first, Gladys told me that the man, Jude, did not want to meet with me but I persisted and after I threatened to go to his office he reluctantly agreed to meet my husband and I. Jude was a good-looking young man in his mid-thirties and upon enquiry, he told us that he had been married for just five years; his wife, Nneka, was a banker and they have one child.

 

Jude was obviously uneasy about meeting with us and we tried our best to set his mind at ease; we had gone past the point of condemnation, we just wanted our daughter healed. My husband told him about my dream and then we told him that we would like to meet his wife so we could ask her to forgive Fadeke.

 

Jude told us that she had recently traveled out of the country on a two weeks vacation but he promised to call her and give her my number so we could talk; there was nothing left for my husband and I to do than wait for her call.

 

One morning about a week later, Jude and his wife came to see my husband and I. Immediately after the introductions Nneka went down on her knees and recounted her side of the incident. Apparently, after Fadeke's refusal to end her affair with Jude and his quarrel with Nneka over her phone call to Fadeke, their relationship deteriorated. They fought constantly and Nneka said that she felt like a fool when after her "seven days ultimatum" to Fadeke, it was obvious that Jude and her were still dating; he still came home late from work and continued answering some late night and weekend calls in a low voice.

 

She said that she was very disturbed by this then one day while praying, God told her to stop fighting Jude and that she should leave the battle to Him. She had obeyed God by changing her attitude towards Jude and the whole situation.

 

Nneka said that she had been shocked when on her return to the country, Jude told her about our visit and Fadeke's condition. Nneka told us that she did not know that God would vindicate her in this manner and that she had forgiven Fadeke. I wish I could say that my daughter recovered after this but Fadeke was unrepentant about her actions.

 

Fadeke was in the hospital for about two months before she went into a coma and never regained consciousness.

 

Comments

 

Covenant is not a strange concept to African cultures. It is fairly common to find families and communities to enter into covenant with other families, communities or even local gods. When this happens, both parties to the covenant understand that they have become one; it is understood that whatever happens to one party automatically happens to the other and they also have common friends and enemies. Covenants are serious matters and any disloyalty to the terms of a covenant means death.

 

Marriage is a covenant (not contract) relationship between a man and a woman. This is why the Bible says that when a man and a woman get married, they become one flesh. In a marriage, a couple stands as one united entity and all friends and foes are common to them; it goes against covenant for one person to have a friend that is unacceptable to his/her spouse, it is taboo! If you are married, you must not continue with any relationship that makes your spouse uncomfortable much less enter into an adulterous relationship.

 

The Bible also says that it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of God (Hebrews 10: 31). If man chases you, you can run to God but when God chases you, whom can you run to? It is for this reason that I tell wives that when they come against the hold of strange women over their husbands and petition God in prayer, they should pray for the salvation of those mistresses. Maybe if Nneka had prayed for Fadeke's salvation, she might not have remained hard-hearted and she might have been able to receive God's mercy. Maybe.

 

Parents, it is also important that we constantly keep a prayer cover over our children. Recognize that you are only their caregivers and dedicate them back to God; He alone is able to preserve them. You cannot watch over them 24 hours a day and neither will they always tell you the things that they get into but nobody and nothing escapes the eyes of God. Pray for your children, no matter their age. Teach them to love and fear the Lord, help them to develop a loving and deep relationship with their Heavenly Father and you will not have cause for regret.

 

Are you dating a married man or woman? Your life is in danger particularly when his wife or husband is a Christian. "Don't you realize how patient He is being with you? Or don't you care? Can't you see that He has been waiting all this time without punishing you to give time to turn from your sin? His kindness is meant to lead you to repentance" (Romans 2: 3). Please repent and retrace your steps.

Wao!
How great is our God indeed!

May God continue to give this woman and her husband the love and grace to care for Christian!

Amazing video indeed!
