Someone here has made the point that IF this were to have been a football match or something else requiring the 2 anthems to be sung, then the organizers ACTUALLY did the correct thing. Now if the American anthem should have being attempted in the first place is another issue entirely but it seems very few (Naptu and others)have spoken the truth here on what protocol truly demands. Omo if you dont know learn now...

ifyalways: What a cruel world!

Possibly a robbery gone wrong. To God we shall all return.

People that ply island-mainland daily should be extra careful(leaving home very early and returning late)

This country get as e be gan !

Very true
Something fishy went down. An oil company worker. Please the police should investigate this to a logical conclusion

She has a very beautiful skin and that tummy awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww work it girl super flat

Is it not this Boko Haram that will make foreign troops invade some part of Nigeria to smoke the members out? Since our government cant or have refused to tame this wild beast. Such a shame...

Silent reader all these years
I remember going through this thread sometime last year or maybe the year before
Of lately i saw it at the top so i thought ''hey maybe he's found someone''
Glad it is so, congrats Mr and to your wife to be. All is well that ends well
To all the encouraging people who had op's back on this thread, trouble makers and silent readers Wow

I have a fiancé
I must confess that[b] I never knew my love affair with the father of my baby would turn awry but it did[/b]. Fortunately for me, the guy I was dating before stood by me when my daughter’s father rejected me. He saw all that happened as a script written by God, which had to play out. He stood by me throughout the pregnancy and he is still there for me. I am not bothered about any issue now. I just pray that the joy God has given me will live forever! Indeed, I am fulfilled as a woman.

Please remind me again was he not a married man? Shebi you get fiance now and you wan marry? Wait until another girl says that about him. Yeye...

mikelreal: all dz south african pple, it is better to be kidnapped n released, than to be robbed n shot dead!

Really? No one good oooooooooooo!

Wrongggggggggggg section you'd probably fare better in the romance section. Shebi na your picture you put there sha? No dulling open your eye well o.
Over to you ladies and gentlemen (forming ladies wanting to chop too)

Every rat wants to host a concert these days. Shey na only im one and a half hit songs e go perform for concert?

Too harsh jare

Only accomplished peeps such as Psquare, Wizkid, Tuface etc that have countless hits and can perform their repertoire of popular songs for[b] hours[/b] should host these concerts abeg. Make this small boy go work harder sing more hit songs before e begin dream of concert.

Very very very true.Iyanya has just about two/three hits or so. Vector well i can only think of the one he did with tuface(get down) and maybe Angeli feat 9ice (my humble opinion tho so many may disagree) Well goodluck to them

Go see wetin dey happen for oyibo land. A good number of those guys have no concept of God or religion but the society works. See them on shorts strolling out on sundays shopping and all. Nearly all claim to be atheists and free thinkers. It is corruption that is killing Nigeria and indeed Africa...
dont be fooled

wow in the desert?

Somewhat misleading i actually thought this would be someone in a Malaysian jail who they were able to rescue.
But in a way they saved this dude from death. Why do people still try to smuggle drugs to Asia. Why are some people drawn to death?

I think the relationship is over sweetheart lol lol lol
and if he still comes back its probably just for the &%$£&% no serious naija man go still friend you after that stunt lol lol lol lol

I'm sick and tired of this virtually every week someone has done something to a wife, grilfriend or her family

nedu2000: She looks like a junky

Thats right you see the open sores on her face. thats the proof
poor dog

Uche that skirt is fly
Kate Henshaw you steal the show all the time. Ever radiant ever young

free2ryhme: 
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 sexual 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 incest 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.

Trust me i was not the biggest fan of Goldie but you have no right to judge her like you knew her personally at the bolded part. Are they some reasonable points in your essay? Of course i believe you did make some good points. Do i think the Ekiti state government should immortalize her and stuff? I dont think its necessary. Its enough they offer condolences on behalf of the state. Do i even think it was necessary for a state government to be involved in gifts or a car for a woman who kept her virginity until marriage? I'm sorry but thats a NO for me too. Thats what an NGO,religious or philanthropic organisation should be concerned with. At the end of the day i will use a word you alluded to in your essay. Judge that you may not be judged too. You dont know if she made her peace with her maker before she died. So many people will be shocked on the last day.All ye spiritual individual who think you are up there and someone else falls short be careful...

About time these people realise they wont go scott free...

I hope she never ever has anything to do with that child. I think she suffers from meental issues as well...

Na Tiwa

The teen's parents will be liable for half of the hospital bill when she gives birth, unless she is married to the baby's 16-year-old father.

That is my only issue with this case. If your parents brought you up well and you know right from wrong but you still take in and cant provide for yourself then you are either on your own or at the mercy of you parents kind gesture. why should the parents be liable for her error. What if its the case where the parents are barely able to survive?

Would you not rather sell stuff at Ring road, Oba market or some other place than live this sorry sorry sorry life in Italy? Look at the dumpsite

Make una leave my babe jare

Is this doll for children or what why does it have boobs then?

What lovely dogs you have there...

The height of illiteracy on this thread is alarming
Some peeps are nearly equating this man to God almighty and you call yourself a christian? Is that what the bible you read teaches you?

Lol lets see

Wow lol is that not like those jewelry the rappers wear thats on my guy Oritsejafor neck lol lol lol lol
I honestly believe CAN got into bed with politicians in Nigeria

Its the Nigerian norm to place the finger of blame on a woman, girl where a successful man is involved
Think of it, i cringe to think what would have happened if Oscar Pistorius was a Nigerian or this incident happened in Nigeria
We live in a society where a seemingly successful man regardless of his personal demons (unknown to the world) can do no evil
It is always the woman who pushed him, the woman with her bad tongue, the woman sent from the devil, the one who pushed him to breaking point
What about a man with a sense of control?
Now am i making excuses for bad women or do i think these women don't exist? Of course i am not that naive
but none of us can authoritatively say Reeva was that sort of person. Did you know her personally?
At the end of the day, there is never any excuse for murder or violence from a man and woman to their spouse
That was his home, he could have walked away, he could have asked her to leave or maybe not
In any case he didn't have to kill her
I feel truly sorry for Oscar an icon all over the world who stood for the impossible, pushed barriers and was a hero but i am more sorry for the girl; she is the one who is dead

damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn that chick is fineeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Ive followed this thread from start to finish and am amazed this lady's deeds are well documented yet she was able to scam again. How could she have done this years ago and still carried on with it in the year 2012. Such a lady anything about her should have been screaming WELL KNOWN SCAMMER thus saving innocent and genuine business people away from her. How was this missed? Shocking
I find her emails funny, very unprofessional and unusually lengthy. How can one type up a mini novel and not spend that time paying what they owe?
She has roped herself further by admitting she owes this money and this can be used as evidence against her by the authorities.
Op i hope you get you money but if you dont, be rest assured you don spoil market for this woman.
