There had been speculation for many years that she was married to an ‘oyinbo’ man. But no one could lay hands on anything. Why did you keep it a ‘secret’?

“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 shortly after her arrival from the United States where she went to witness the Grammy Award. She was rushed from her Park View, Ikoyi, Lagos residence to her official hospital, Reddington, Victoria Island, Lagos, where doctors pronounced her dead on arrival at exactly 7:30pm in the evening.
We consider this period a gloomy moment for us and the entire Nigerian music industry in view of the circumstance in which she passed away; the abundance of talent she exhibited in her short 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 devastated by the sudden loss.”Goldie's remains has been deposited at the mortuary.
My attention has been drawn to reports in the media that I have resigned my appointment as the Head Coach of Super Eagles of Nigeria.
While I have had cause to express my displeasure over some issues that happened in the course of our participation in the AFCON 2013, which my team won by the grace of God, especially concerning my relationship with the Nigerian Football Federation, I have since had opportunity to discuss the various issues with all concerned. I am therefore pleased to say that I have reconsidered my position and have decided to continue with my job.
I want to thank the Honourable Minister of Sports, Mallam Bolaji Abdullahi, for his swift and kind intervention.
SignedKeshi withdrew his resignation after a meeting with the Sports Minister yesterday. Keshi and the Super Eagles boarded their flight about 7am this morning to commence their journey back to Nigeria.

Historic Super Eagles Coach Stephen Keshi has dedicated Nigeria's Africa Cup of Nations triumph to all indigenous Nigerian coaches, who were treated with lack of respect by sports administrators and fans.
Speaking after the Eagles defeated Burkina Faso 1-0 in the final of the tournament last night, Keshi said that he was fulfilled that his dream of putting smiles on the faces of Nigerians had come true with the team's success in South Africa.
"It is mainly for my nation. My dream was to make Nigerians happy. We are not there yet. This is a work in progress but I want to dedicate this to all Nigerian coaches, who have been praying for this. In Africa, they give you a job today and want you to win the World Cup the next day. This cannot work. You have to give local coaches a chance", said Keshi, who was not done with his indictment of football administrators, who he said were not patient enough with local coaches.
"To succeed, we need time and I thank God that all the years of waiting have finally ended. Our people do not know how to give you time to get your programme through. These things take time but people seem not to care about it. But I thank God for seeing us through", he said.

A grieving husband was horrified when he opened the casket at his dead wife's funeral and found a total stranger inside, it was reported today.
Michael Galant told of his shock after staff at a funeral home accidentally put a different woman inside a coffin he was expecting to contain the body of his wife Magdalene Galant, 58. The South African widower and his daughter Leota had prepared themselves to take a final look at their loved one during Mrs Galant's funeral this week in Cape Town.
Michael Galant told of his shock after a Cape Town funeral home put a different woman inside a coffin he was expecting to contain his wife.
Mr Galant said: "I opened my wife's casket and she didn't look right. I immediately knew something was wrong."
"My daughter came to me and said: "That's not mummy", and then I knew this was a big mistake."
It was reported that the mix-up happened this week as Mr Galant prepared for the funeral of his wife, who died on Saturday of a heart attack. The couple's traumatised daughter said that the family questioned the undertakers about the body swap and claimed staff initially tried to convince them they had delivered the right body.
She said the company later admitted to pulling out the wrong drawer at the morgue. The family tried to stop the funeral service but organisers convinced them to go ahead as planned. They were later escorted to the unnamed funeral home and shown the right body. The company had since apologised and promised to help them arrange a second send off.
