Goldie Harvey’s Husband Cries Out!

By Kemi Filani on February 16,0

Reacting to the sudden death of his wife, Goldie who died on Thursday evening, Andrew Harvey decided to share some of their wedding photos  Goldie’s childhood pictures and pictures of their best times together on his facebook page.

He tagged it ‘Memories of my loving wife’. He moved a step further by politely asking Prezzo to “leave my precious family to grieve in peace, you have caused enough hurt and pain already”

And then he countered a new report that surfaced online Late Friday where it was alleged that Goldie was into drugs and died of drugs.
He said “Goldie never used drugs in the past 10 years and I was as close as you could get”
Meanwhile, fans on facebook were taken surprise when they saw the wedding pictures, many of them did not believe that Goldie was married! – especially after her love drama with Prezzo, her Kenyan lover and housemate in the Big brother Africa Game 2012.

You will recall that Prezzo wrote a very emotional tribute on Friday in honour of the late singer. Media reports claim that he had planned to propose to Goldie on Valentine’s day…
Oh by the way, a close source and friend of Andrew Harvey reliably told us that “Andrew is really mad about Prezzo’s appearance and wants to show the world that he matters now…that’s why he is posting the pictures”
Aggrieved Andrew not only shared the intimate pictures on Facebook, but also on Goldie’s twitter handle, and even went as far as engaging with several curious fan, saying “For those who doubt the wedding go to ikoyi registry and ask for copy of certifcate No 1000/05″

In her biography,Goldie was born Susan Adebimpe Filani and she is from Ekiti state, She studied and lived in the UK for some years before she returned to Nigeria to focus on her music career. We would update you as more details unfold.

IN THE BEGINNING: THE GENESIS OF UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA NSUKKA

Sir Francis Akanu ibiam(1963) had the following to say to the criticisms that accrued about the existence of the University of Nigeria especially in a place called Nsukka.

                         

                    I remember very well said sir francis Akanu Ibiam(1963) when the news came that there was going to be an university of Nigeria in a location known as nsukka. the choice of Nsukka as a location                                                                               

Was highly controversial. the designation of the University of Nigeria was catchy and intriguing some people asked why call it the University of Nigeria?, was there to be no other university in this vast country of ours? Other people wanted to know where Nsukka was. Anyhow such a new and unheard name ! if there must be a University of Nigeria why not have it established at Enugu, or Onitsha or Aba or calabar the old and familiar places. Many other people exclaimed imagine B.A,B.sc  Nsukka was the common remark. Many other citizens meaningfully or otherwise demanded to know where the money would come from to meet the acceptably expensive[MR1]  cost of the highest order of institution of learning .

1960/1961 SESSION; THE GENESIS

The campus could boast of very few houses which were hurriedly put up to beat the deadline  for admitting the first year students who started their studies on October 17^th 1960 ten days after the official opening  and laying of foundation stone of the university’s early building by princess Alexandria of kent, the queen Elizabeth II representative at the independence ceremony (obiechina 1978:2) the poor infrastructure did not at all indicate that the founding fathers did not know that the school needed solid buildings such that were in Ibadan and Ife because the money was not there, the founding fathers decided to set up temporary building s rather than, in words of prof.Frank Ndili “sacrifice the idea of starting the university” (morka et al,1982)

       The pioneer students 220 of them were still getting to know one another . the average student was older between 28 and 30 years of age. They had less money to spend ,spent less time on social activities like clubbing , partying and they had great sense of responsibility than his counterpart today. Actually the first hostel was Okpara, it was called Block one then,  Male and female students stayed together in a hall.   The ground floor of the hall was the dinning section with a kitchenette at one end of it. Female students occupied the first floor, male students stayed on the second floor  and  there was a separating gate before the flight of stairs in-between the floors. The two sexes all came down to the dinning to have their meal and go off to lectures .

       When the second hall of residence, Balewa (block two) was ready, the male students moved into it . the dinning sections in both halls became common rooms equipped with television sets and gaming facilities .

During this period,220 students in balewa and okpara halls were accommodated two persons to a room. Life then was spacious full of solo trips to breezy and hilly sides for sober reflections. however the hostel blocks lacked certain facilities

There were no space for liners; no disposal sink for cleaners to empty dirty water; no utility rooms for storage of cleaning materials; no drainage in the washrooms for excess water blown in by rain or used by the cleaners for scrubbing the floors.

In the early 1960’s, ther was no electricity or pipe borne water. Therefore, the pioneers students and even lecturers had to use lanterns and fetch water water from outside the campus. In the two hostels, study tables were in adedquate and there was no wall mirrors.
