LATE GOLDIE HARVEY’S MEMORIES FORGOTTEN TWO YEARS AFTER HER DEATH?

Today, February 14, 2015, marks exactly two years
since the demise of Nigerian female singer,
Goldie Susan Adebimpe Harvey, who died at
Reddington Hospital in Victoria Island, Lagos,
shortly after her return from California where
she attended the Grammy Awards with her
record label, Kennis Music boss, Kenny Ogungbe.
From observations made, no
event has been planned in her honour, neither did
most of her colleagues in the Nigeria music circle
pen down messages of her remembrance on their
social media handles.
With this, one begins to wonder whether the
controversy that trailed the late singer,
immediately
after her death, could be the cause of this neglect
or
perhaps, the stars are carried away with the
euphoria
of Valentine's day?
As a musician, Goldie had started her career in
London, with a pop rock group. Her impact in BBA
House was remarkable, in view of her betrayal by
Kenyan Housemate, Prezzo, with whom she had an
intimate moment.
It was until her death, that her little secret of being married to a British man by the name Andrew Harvey surfaced and stirred lots of controversies. In her short but eventful life, Goldie was an ambassador of Project Alert, a world renowned non- profit making organisation.
She was the president of the organisation aimed at advocating zero tolerance for all forms of violence against women and young girls. She won more than 10 awards, including Exquisite Lady of the year (ELOY), Best Female Artiste Award and City People Best Female Artiste of the year.
Painfully, she lost the battle of life after suffering
deep vein thrombosis, a blood clot resulting from
being seated in one place during long hours flight
from the US.
