THE FACE THAT HAS BEEN SEEN SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE?

elampiro: [b]Do you realised that Kim Kardashian has not been able to get a legal divorce from Kris Humphery? But she has moved on with her life and dating Kayne West even as she keeps trying to beg for a divorce. Humphrey felt the marriage was a fraud, hence he won't grant her a divorce.

Why can't we also be patient to get to know if it is not a similar case in Goldie's marriag? I want to believe that Goldie had left that (Harvey) marriage. Goldie was so in love with Prezzo in the big brother house and after the house they went about together. Which husband will allow such? I think this man is coming out now because property are at stake. In response to news that Prezzo is coming to Nigeria, Andrew Harvey tweet that 'Prezzo should leave their family alone that he had already created much havoc'. I think Goldie was genuinely in love with Prezzo. I also feel she had already called off her marriage but she was yet to get it resolved legally. We may however have to wait for more things to come to light.

For those writing that big brother is scripted, they amaze me. They probably have not followed it. Remember Elizabeth of Tanzania and Kevin of Nigeria started their relationship in the house, they got married in real life about 18 months later, and are still married to date. The kind of gossips, mind games, fightings, quarrel and competition in the BBA house can't make someone to live a scripted life for 3 months.[/b]

pappilo: She's not 37. She was 96/97 set in St Johns College so 31 is about right.
Thank you for this clarification. Why are people saying unnecessary things about this late lady? Yet the things they say are not true.

Nigeria. When one person has called 'X' a witch, the public joins, then 'X' really becomes a witch in people's eyes. If 'Y' is called a thief by one person, then the public joins to call 'Y' a thief, and 'Y' is tagged a thief by the mob. That's why there are lots of jungle (in)justice because people take delight in bringing people down.

Let's be patient and the truth will unfold. Nigerians should cultivate a. Good sense of judgement based on verifiable evidences.

FXKing2012: waooooo....wonder why this is coming to the fore now?
It's an eye-opener though...why didnt she just get a divorce instead of cheating on the man with Prezo (or whatever his name is).

Celebrities › Re: Pictures Of Goldie's Husband, Andrew Harvey by elampiro(m):
Hima: Please donn't be quick to wake them up from their sleep! Nigerians as a whole like make belief and the moment you bring in reality they want to fight and kick against it. No wonder she kept her marriage away from us. Sometimes I wonder how these terrible homevideos make profit from their no-brainer movies and I just got one more clue from the comments of most people on this topic. If someone can watch a movie with practically no storyline, dat goes round in circles and see it up to part 8-9 then as I can do now is the smh! Since any celebrity who wants to make it already knows the mindset of the majority of nigerians then why not feed them with the fantasy. As for those saying she was dark and later fair, have u taken your time to notice that the darker pix are all indoors yl d lighter ones are either outdoors or in a lighted environment? No matter how dark u are try taking a pix indoors and out and compare both results. We all know the love of younger celebs coming into limelite so shut it already about her age. Who cares if she was married to a white guy cos of his money or the love most Nigerians dnt have in their hearts for even their own as displayed here.
One thing I'v noticed about we nigerians is out self righteousness! That's why we can kill just to justify our conscience and make us seem better (all mob actions). Maybe this is why most nations just can't stand us. Someone is dead here and all I see is dirt being thrown around. Probably that's why the lady kept her private life away cos we are no good! For all I know, Goldie was a nice young lady with morals, a sense of responsibility, humble and down to earth. To think that she never let her fame get to her head and was involved in an image denting saga until her death. We just can't keep up with such a persona and your own life seem like a mess compared to hers so I don't really blame those hurling insults.
May her gentle soul continue to rest in peace.
My sister, thanks for this beautiful response.

Imagine people condemning another they knew nothing about without any verifiable evidence. Imagine the general acceptance that claims she was into drugs. Someone even said Iluminati. And they are happy saying it. Most times people's sense of judgment of others is poor. No wonder the foolish mob actions everywhere.

ballabriggs: Read through the man's posts to understand.

The photo does not seem a fake or 'arrangee' marriage as some have insinuated. That was a proper wedding, the location looks like Chapel of Christ the Light at Alausa, Ikeja and I believe the marriage was going strong even till her death.

Read the man's posts.
We cannot tell if they were still married before she went to big brother Africa, only her family people can tell. But come to think of it, if she was still married, would her husband condone her hanging out with Prezzo even after big brother 2012?

More things will come to light with time. But I want to believe Goldie had left that man before big brother. I can recall also Goldie and Prezzo went to US together to attend a certain JayZ concert after BBA.

ballabriggs: What I can tell from this, is that the whole BBA thingy seems fake and make believe. Probably used to push the DSTV brand.


It seems the man like every loving man had to play along to get his wife's career going, not a big deal in the western world.

RIP Young Lady.
What reason do you have to back your claim that BBA is make believe.

In the BBA house you see everyone's character. In Goldie's season, four housemates were sent home for fighting (physical fight). Two withdrew by themselves due to misunderstanding. If you have been watching you would see it's a pure reality show that runs for 90 days.

Goldie was herself and she was a good person. Her interpersonal relationship was excellent, such is rare to find.

Just bec she can cook for someone dont mean she isn't capable of anything. Smh, oh the gods of afrikaa, please give my people common sense lipsrsealed embarassed sad cry
You really need common sense. You that is excited about the fake story that she took hard drugs.

Her husband has cleared that fake story that she never did drugs, yet you wished it was true. Be careful what negative things you comment about people who can't defend themselves, you don't know what will be said about you tomorrow.

Abrantie: That's what we call acting.
When she came out of the house and she was shown on screen how she was used, she fell to the ground (collapsed) and cried , was she still acting?

People are bent on finding her guilty of the drug rumours. But the drug story is a lie as confirmed by her husband.

Abrantie: Did he really know her?

People change you know. May be after their divorce, her lifestyle changed for the wild side. I also believe that all those stories about her growing up in the church was pure fantasy.
Did you watch Goldie in the big brother house? She isn't wild at all. She's the simplest of beings. She was so cool, forgiving, non confrontational, emotional, meek and lovely. She was the one cooking for them most times. she had no element of wildness. Forget her costumes.

Abrantie: As if I knew something was up. Frankly, I haven't heard about this Goldie until today/yesterday. However, after looking at her pics and last name, and brief background about her mama and papa, I became curious. Something just didn't add up because Nigerians don't take names like Harvey.

To put it bluntly, she was a low self-esteem (but may be talented) fake. Now I'm convinced she did drugs while in Yankee. The long flight from Los Angeles to Nigeria didn't help either.
Her husband, Andrew Harvey said Goldie never did drugs the ten years he knew her.

...and an asteroid will fly pretty close to earth today.

(CNN) -- Don't consider this a count-down to doomsday, but on February 15 an asteroid is going to come pretty close to Earth.
And this is only one of thousands of objects that are destined to one day enter our neighborhood in space.
"There are lots of asteroids that we're watching that we haven't yet ruled out an Earth impact, but all of them have an impact probability that is very, very low," Don Yeomans, manager of the Near-Earth Object Program Office at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said at a press briefing.
This particular asteroid is called 2012 DA14. NASA scientists reiterated Thursday that people have nothing to worry about.

CNN reported that the Meteorite was not caused by this earth approaching asteroid. They are two separate events.

The events happening are announcing Jesus's the end times. I already posted this same topic since morning, 8.25 am https://www.nairaland.com/1196682/meteorite-falls-russian-urals-damage .

I expect some people to come and tell us that a similar thing happened in 300AD OR 1400AD or 800BC and it is not new. Is it not clear that natural and unprecedented evil made events happening these days are setting records almost simultaneously? These are clear signs, he who has ears should listen.

Meteorite falls in Russian Urals

Associated Press - 30 mins ago

MOSCOW (AP) — Fragments of at least one meteorite fell in the Chelyabinsk region some 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) east of Moscow, causing flashes in the morning sky and sharp explosions, Russian officials said Friday.

The office of the governor of the region in the Ural Mountains said in a statement that many calls about injuries and damage to buildings had been received. But there were no immediate confirmed figures or specific reports on damage.

Reports conflicted on the event: A spokeswoman for Russia's Emergency Ministry, Irina Rossius, told The Associated Press that there was a meteor shower, but another ministry spokeswoman, Elena Smirnikh, was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying it was a single meteorite.

The ministry said some fragments fell near the town of Satka, about 200 kilometers (120 miles) from the regional capital city of Chelyabinsk.

Education › Which Is Correct 'elder Brother' Or 'senior Brother' Or 'older Brother'? by elampiro(op): 8:29am On Feb 14, 2013
I read a this topic on Guinness advert (https://www.nairaland.com/1193153/guiness-advert-friend-udeme-vs/3#14310881), and I have always heard the narrator said ''my senior brother Femi'' on TV, and have always told people around me that 'my senior brother' is a wrong English. I made this known in the discussion of that topic, but someone argued that 'older brother' is more inappropriate. I remember I studied this in my JAMB days and it was clearly stated in the text book that 'elder/younger' is the correct use when used with brother/sister. The other question is why did Guinness make this blunder and it has been running ever since?

Now lets look at what some links have said about the usage of this three words:
