In a memorial to her there won't be any post of songs today and I suggest all bloggers do the same just to mourn our beloved Friend/Sister and Award wining Singer "Goldie Harvey".
Below is what the President of Kennis Music released this morning...
From President, Kennis Music, Keke Ogungbe
"On behalf of Kennis Music, I'm sad to officially confirm the shocking and untimely passage of Nigeria's pop star, Goldie Harvey. With a deep sense of loss, we announce the shocking death of our darling music star, Goldie Harvey.
Goldie, 31, died on Thursday after she complained of a severe headache at her Park View residence shortly after her arrival from the United States where she went to witness the Grammy Award. She was rushed to her official hospital, Reddington, Victoria Island, Lagos, where doctors pronounced her dead on arrival.
We consider this period a gloomy moment for us and the entire Nigerian music industry in view of the circumstance Goldie passed away, the abundance of talent she has exhibited in her but eventful music career and the various opportunities her trip to the United States of America would have availed her. She is survived by her father, step- mother, brothers and sisters.
We deeply sympathise with her family and fans all over the world and very grateful to all and sundry, especially, the vibrant Nigerian media for their concern and prompt reportage.
We shall keep everybody informed as events unfold as we are still devastated by the sudden loss." Meanwhile, the remains of Goldie, who hails from Ekiti State has been deposited in the mortuary of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos.
Goldie represented Nigeria at the Big Brother Star Game in 2012. Her latest effort, she described as three nawti singles from her forthcoming African Invasion album are "Skibo". "Miliki" and " Got To Have It," are presently enjoying heavy rotations on radio and TV stations across the continent.
Burial arrangements will be announced by the family. May her soul rest in peace. Adieu Goldie!!!"
"My dearest Adeolu (Paul)...
It has taken some time for me to distill my
thoughts and pen my tribute to Pastor Paul
Adefarasin - the man I know. Though words
are insufficient to capture the breadth of my thoughts, I'll try to give you the essence as I write about someone who is many things to me; as my best friend, my big brother, my boyfriend, my lover, my mentor, my coach, my greatest encourager, my husband, my pastor, my boss, my everything...after my Saviour Jesus Christ.
Where do I begin? I can barely recall my life
without you, as for a greater part of my adult
life, you have been such a strong and positive
influence, instructing, directing, moulding and
shaping me into the woman I am evolving into.
From our very first encounter, your passion for the things of God endeared you to me. In
today's parlance, 'what's not to like?' - listening to a tall and handsome, cultured and eloquent, courteous, six foot three inches hunk of a man with an inimitable baritone, small wonder I am married to you today.
Over the years, I've watched you evolve from a husband to a father, from a pastor to an apostle, from giving pastoral care to parishioners to counselling kings, from penning sermon notes to becoming an author, from gathering a handful for fellowship, to erecting a worthy cathedral for thousands to worship and commune with the Lord. You are really a multifaceted man.
Your commitment to the family and the
sacrifices you make to ensure that you spend
time with the children and I, regardless of cost or personal inconvenience challenges me to do the same. The perception with which you correct and direct us all inspires me, while the patience with which you bring understanding to difficult matters is worthy of emulation. During the course of 18 years together, not once have I had cause to fault your leadership and direction over the family as a prophet, priest, and provider.
Again and again, I have learnt from your actions that being there when it really matters is not an option, it's essential. The ways in which you express love to us all, elicits our love to you. You are indeed a terrific husband. I thank God for the desire you had almost two decades ago to spend your life with me. I recall with a warm heart, you writing in the sand, 'will you marry me?' as we walked the Lighthouse Beach.
I pray our marriage will be engraved in the indelible 'sands of time' as we together fulfill purpose.
Thank you for being the loving, caring person
you are. Thank you for being the selfless person you are.
Thank you for being the trail blazer you are. Thank you for how you relate with the youths, including our 'first generation' children.
Thank you for being the great husband and
father you are. As you celebrate this milestone birthday, I pray God's very best for you as you embark on yet another season of fulfilling God's mandate to the nation.
I love you deeply
Love you forever
Ifeanyi Adeife Adefarasin.
