GOLDIE AND DOPE RECALL…HOW NIGERIANS ROSE UP ANGRILY TO DEFEND HER UNTIL THEY WERE PROVED RIGHT!

…goldie…RIP…

 REACTIONS BY NIGERIANS TO SOME MEDIA

1. This is not nice. Susan does….Submitted by Anonymous

This is not nice. Susan does not do drugs. Folks that do drugs cannot survive such an amount of time in BBA without withdrawal symptoms or using.
If there is proof, show otherwise simply stow it! *angry face*

2. Speculation…Submitted by Cokefour

If someone was rushed to hospital complaining of a headache and died hours later, I would’ve thought that it might be bleeding in the brain or something like that. However, your boffins have somehow concluded that ‘dope’ (please be specific) had something to do with it.
Do you have a quote from the medical staff that looked after her? That might add some weight to your reporting skills. No? Any documented reports of previous drug use or busts involving Goldie? No? Ah well, the dead are always an easy target.

3. May God forgive all you…Submitted by mi

May God forgive all you rumour mongers.

4. Please always verify your…Submitted by TEMI

Please always verify your information before publishing it. sahara reporters ought to know that by now,respect the dead.

5. May her soul rest in peace!…Submitted by Bayo

May her soul rest in peace!I saw her last week thursday at Veronica kitchen African Restaurant, Los Angeles in company of D One and Kenny Ogungbe.

6. What a Crap, Sahara Reporter???…Submitted by Anonymous
What kind of crap is this Sahara Reporter?
A very young woman died and in less than 24 hours, you in Sahara Reporters are already reporting crap stories like this. Stories which are most probably not true anyway. How have you confirmed that the story is true? Have you consulted any independent associate to corroborate the story? Just because the damn PM news published the crap story does not give you the absolute right to publish crap story like this.
I have so much respect for Sahara Reporters and especially you Sowore. Now, you guys just make absolute ridicule of yourselves.
Respect the dead. You will also die one day!
You guys should be ashamed of yourselves!! Nonsense!!!

7. MANY QUESTIONS BEGGING FOR ANSWERS….Submitted by Anonymous

Did she just join the drug thing? That Lady was in the big brother house in the full glare of entire Africa. Did she use drug in the house? Is it possible for one using drugs to stay for 2 months without drugs? Kenny Ogungbe and Dayo do not use drugs and don’t look irresponsible. The Goldie I saw could not have pretended for that long without betraying her wild side. The sources of this revelation need to be investigated and ascertain if there are other things not known to the rest of us. If this is to sell papers, then that is the height of irresponsibility and insensitivity.

8. A little sensitivity PLEASE…Submitted by NaijaGirl

This story smells false to me. Haba SR/PM News! What type of heartless and insensitive ‘close source’ did you come across that would divulge such horrible info less than a day after her demise. I seriously doubt that Goldie was into drugs but that should not be something to spread or relish either way, she’s gone and she was a truly sweet and kind-hearted person when she was alive so THAT in my opinion is what should be celebrated. We’re all going to die someday sooner or later so it’s not like we’re any more special and i know YOU wouldn’t like such things to be relished after your death or for your family to be put through hearing such horrible things true or untrue so why do it to her?! Celebrate the good and leave the bad for God to judge… We’re all not perfect!! May God have mercy on the souls of our dearly departed ameen.

9. Haba PM News/Sahara!!!…Submitted by Reptyle

PM News and Saharareporters!!!! This is a very unprofessional and criminal report. How can you go to town with this kind of speculative and unverified report which can do absolute damage to the young lady’s image????
Goldie lived 3 months of her life in the Bigbrother Africa house on live TV with every inch been covered and shown across the whole of Africa for 24 hours non-stop. Not once within that house with all its pressures did she taste any alcoholic beverage or smoke even a cigarette!!!! Not even once!!!! Now if she was a druggie as you claim in this hash of a report, would she survive 3 months without showing the tell tale signs of withdrawal syndrome????
Please for the fear of God, take down this report at least until the hospital, the coroner or the police issue an official statement on the cause(s) of her death.

10. Sleep well Goldie!…Submitted by Oleku
All those amebo sources should wish her soul well and stop gossiping. What she died of doesn’t matter. Everyone will die someday and something will lead to one’s death. If drugs led to hers so be it. Amebos should lay low!

11.Long Haul flights can cause Blood Clot…Submitted by truthhurtsalot

She probably died as a result of Pulmonary Embolism – blood clot. This can happen after a long flight and women who are on certain types of contraceptive pills are at risk of this condition.

12. NO! NO!! NO!!!..Submitted by Sumanguru

Goldie was NOT into drugs. I can bet the last shirt on my back. This was a girl that spent 3 (three) full months in the BB House, not once did she smoke or do alcohol inspite of the abundance of the stuff in the place.
She conducted herself very decently with an outpouring humility that belied her achievement in so short time of her life.
Please SaharaReporters shun extreme sensationalism otherwise you do great havoc to your integrity. I am MOST pained by this irresponsible reporting.

13. Don’t Bury Her Without Doing Autopsy…Submitted by Nnaemeka

With a complaint of severe headache that suddenly led to death, one should worry about the likelihood that she died from a bleed in the brain(Subarachnoid Hemorrhage). The speculations that she is into drugs are unnecessarily premature without a formal Autopsy Report. Meanwhile, may her soul RIP.

14. Na wah for una…Submitted by Anonymous

sahara reporters u guys should be ashamed of yourself how can you post an un-confirmed news about some1 on your web site. picking stories from PM NEWS….haba….you should just get ready for law suits….

15. There is not even an autopsy…Submitted by Anonymous

There is not even an autopsy yet and some people have started wagging their tongue spreading fake rumours and lies.

16. GOLDIE…Submitted by Akin

This is completely irresponsible reporting and story! You should at least wait till an autopsy is done before you start attributing her death to drugs! She just arrived from the US, therefore probability is that she died from DVT or blood clot.

17. Yello Journalism…Submitted by Anonymous

While I admit that Sahara did not report this as facts or via their investigative sources, it’s still reeks of irresponsibility to cull news from PM and re-post it in this manner, without having full fact checking and due process occuring. SR is much more better than this and I am dissapointed that they took this route.

18. You are loosing credibility…Submitted by Anonymous

I don’t think this is fair. if a close source told you that she was a druggie, you ought to wait or go into reddington Hospital to find out what happened.
That is how professional reporting is done.

19. you dont have to sound so…Submitted by Anonymous

You dont have to sound so gross.you would die someday also or dont u read your bible were God admonished us not to judge others,so allow God to be the judge of were fela Whitney and Goldie will be and speak for yourself because on the last day u will answer for yourself not telling God how bad others were.we all dont know the cause of her death only our maker can tell. are you perfect? u also have your own bad habits,unless u have something against Goldie because you sound happy that she is dead.its so bad of you to use such words on the dead,she was very young and was doing well for herself,just change the way you see people because you are not better off.

20.This is un acceptable…Submitted by Anonymous

You guyz need to attract people to your site that was why you published this rubbish, anyway had Goldie been into drugs, she can’t possibly. spend about 65 dayz in a place like bba without taking it so your information lacks credibility.

21. U’re simply an animal…Submitted by Anonymous

U’re simple an animal, nd may U be judge as U judge dead. mfker

22. I strongly agree she wasnt..Submitted by jteng

I strongly agree she wasnt into drugs cos i watched her closely in d house. She had morals abeg in spite of her mistakes jst lik any one of us does av.

CONCLUSION: When the autopsy report eventually came out it showed that Nigerians who supported her were very right!

GOLDIE:…WHY DO WE LOVE PEOPLE MORE WHEN THEY ARE DEAD?…HUG THOSE CLOSE TO YOU TODAY!

QUESTION BY POOPFIRE

Why do I love people more when they are dead than when they were alive?

ANSWERS

1.it’s not that you love them more, its that you are more aware of it. it’s human nature to take people for granted when you always have them. we don’t mean to, it just happens because we get used to them. and when they aren’t around, you think about them more, making you feel like you love them more. you just miss them. which is okay….love xx

2.You really don’t love them more; just appreciate them. Also when people die we tend to only remember the “good” things…. straycat

3.Because when someone dies we recall only the good memories we had of him\her….Katrin…..

4.Well its not that you love them more, its that you miss them. Also we always want things we cant have… funlove9...

5.I think it’s because they didn’t realize what they had. They took the deceased for granted and just… didn’t appreciate them enough. Sometimes people blame themselves for the death so it makes them want to do something and showing their love to the dead might make them feel like they’re helping, which they’re not… But yeah, they didn’t realize what they had, until it… died I guess…by Keriii.

6.Because they realize they will never see you again. They think about how much they wished they would have spent more quality time with you once it’s too late. It’s sad. Other people just realize all at once how great you were and feel sad to see you leave. It’s a way of letting go of the inevitable….Don Gorgeous George

  7.Showing more love for someone when they are dead is a bit late… in fact, it’s too late at that point. People who do show more love after the fact do it out of a guilt…and supposedly out of respect. It’s for their benefit, not for the benefit of the one that died….by HEYTHERE

 

8.We take the lives of people around us for granted.In other words, you don’t know what you have until it’s gone….by MegantheNerd

9.This is a very good question. I think it is because they finally realize exactly what kind of person you were and what you have offered to the world. People don’t usually seem to appreciate that when people are alive because they don’t draw attention to it. However, when you’re dead, it’s much easier to remember the times you had together because all you can do is look back. It’s weird. I try to appreciate people for who they are while they are living and remember them for what they had to offer when they’re dead. Maybe I’m just weird….by AnonymousGirl

 

10.I have been asking that question to myself for years. People say they love me but then they hurt me, use me, life to me..list goes on. Why because I love you has become nothing but words. They have no meaning. Then I think after you die people begin to realize that they screwed up and then they love you and try to show it by flowers, visiting the site, etc. Too damm late then. This could very well be one of the answers to why people commit suicide BTW….by Scrappy

11.Cause u dont realize what u have until it is gone…by final phantom

 

12. Because all we ever really have to share or show…are our gestures…….by Go know thyself is THE RED QUEEN
CULLED FROM YAHOO ANSWERS AND ANSWER BAG

CONCLUSION?

1. WHICH LOOKS LIKE THE BEST ANSWER?…OR WHAT DO YOU THINK? PLEASE TELL US.

2. WHOM WILL YOU MISS MOST IF THE PERSON DIES TODAY?…PLEASE HUG AND REPAIR WHATEVER IS WRONG BETWEEN THE TWO OF YOU RIGHT NOW….LET SOMETHING GOOD COME OUT OF THE GOLDIE STORY…WILL YOU?

GOLDIE…IT’S HARD TO UNDERSTAND WHY SOMEONE SO YOUNG HAD TO DIE SUDDENLY…BUT EVEN IN DEATH SOME HATERS CONTINUED THEIR USELESS CHARADE!

Goldie and Nkem

THERE WERE SO MANY HATERS WHO NEVER KNEW HALF OF GOLDIE’S STORY AS TOLD ON HER SITE (BELOW)

EARLY LIFE

Indeed, in the case of talent and passion, the apple does not fall too far away from the tree. Goldie was born In the early 80s to very educated and successful parents – her mum, late Mrs. Olabisi Betty from the illustrious Olaiya family in Ijebu, Ogun State was a former managing director in a bank, while her dad, a native of Ikole-Ekiti, Ekiti State, also retired as a director in a new generation bank. He is now into full time clerical works in Lagos. The first of four kids, Goldie’s education began at the Green Springs Montessori Primary School and then St. John’s College, Palm Grove, Lagos where Christian Religious Knowledge, she said, was her favourite subject because she didn’t have to study too hard to pass it. In fact, by the age of 10, she already knew so many bible verses that belied her age.

She recalled, “My childhood was very interesting but regimented. My Dad was a leader in church and very active too while my mum used to lead the choir. So, as their first child, I took very active roles in all church activities – drama, choir, bible classes and so on. Church was the only social life we had. On Mondays, we went for bible classes; Wednesdays were for prayer meetings and then one Friday in a month, we went for vigil. I never had toys or friends because my father thought they would lead me astray.” Thus, her mum was her closest friend. However, the bond that held mother and daughter together snapped irretrievably in 1994.

LOSING HER MUM

Goldie described her mum as a woman of high intellectual and moral values. “She was the first to have a scholarship in her family. She was an avid reader and had a lot of certificates and degrees.” Every night, when every other person had gone to bed, Goldie and her mum would stay up chit-chatting and watching television. She was the only friend Goldie had. But she died too soon after a long-drawn battle with cancer, leaving behind four kids. “It was a traumatic experience for me especially because it was like losing my only friend and confidant. I cried bitterly and even up till now, over a decade later, the pain of her demise has not left me.” Goldie is however consoled that she now has another mum in her step-mother who she describes as God-sent.

FORAY INTO MUSIC

A prodigious kid with a strong flair for the arts and everything creative, Goldie recalled drawing sketches of anything that caught her fancy but whenever her dad saw her drawing, he would tear it, asking rather erroneously how many people have achieved outstanding success in arts. This however did not deter the blithely ambitious young lady from wanting to give vent to her dreams because like the cliché goes, music expresses that which cannot be put into words and cannot remain silent. Goldie had found music through the prism of divas like Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Toni Braxton. And even at that age, she was already learning the style and nuances of pop, even emulating Braxton’s style of keeping her side burns oiled.

At that time too, it had become pretty obvious that Goldie was an embryonic diva. “I’d been flirting with music all my life. I don’t remember exactly how old but I was incredibly young when I knew that I’d go into some form of entertainment. Everybody who knew me back then knew that I could sing because I was always singing in school or church; I’ve always had that artistic flair.” So, when she got to the UK where she had been admitted to study Business Management at the University of Sunderland, she and a couple of friends formed an informal group which performed for friends and family. The group even did a couple of demos which never really made it out…..

DYING YOUNG

Sometimes its hard
to understand why
Someone so young
should have to die

No reasons are given
It just happens that way
There’s nothing we can do
Nothing we can say

Our time here on Earth
We will transcend
Here is not forever
And life doesn’t end

There is a place
Through an ‘open’ door
It will be familiar
For we’ve been there before

So don’t dwell on death
For its not the end
Spirit is eternal
my dear, dear friend
