Nike's advert featuring para-Olympic star, Oscar Postorious described him as the Bullet In The Chamber and this manifested on Valentine Day when Postorious opened four bullets from the chamber of his hand pistol into his girlfriend's head and arm. The victim,Reeva Steenkamp,died at the spot. This has got Nike going into damage control measures and monitoring the South African athlete facing charges of "premeditated murder." In Nigeria, we are always told by pastors that the spiritual controls the physical and Nike is the Greek goddess of victory; a virtue Postorious has enjoyed since hitting limelight. He was so victorious in the Olympics games that he even won a case to be allowed to compete with able bodied athletes. Do you believe the Greek goddess has spiritually controlled the Bullet in the Chamber to physically commit murder and will he come out of this charges victorious?

You must have heard about the death of the Nigerian artiste and BBA Housemate,Oluwabimpe Susan Harvey, popularly known as Goldie and of course heard her confessed love for Kenyan house mate Prezzo who reports say is in Nigeria armed with an engagement ring to propose. Well, it’s all good. While fellow artistes and her fans are mourning the death of the singer, stark revelations are emerging about the other side of the diva.

Her legal husband, Andrew Harvey, who she still bears his surname has come out to post exclusive pictures of Goldie and as well granted an interview to a Nigerian newspaper, The Nigerian Entertainment (thenetng.com). Goldie’s maiden name is Susan Filani and her husband cleared the air that they were married until her death and were never divorced. He also stated that they were planning to have a baby this year.

Mr. Harvey who said he is planning to visit Nigeria next was making plans to become Nigerian. Some of his responses to the interview conducted by Victoria Ige goes thus: So sorry about your loss. And so sorry to be contacting you under this circumstance. Nigerians are shocked to discover, through your FB post, that Goldie was married. I’m wondering if you’ll able to give me more details, and if we can have your permission to print some of the photos in the folder ‘Memories of my darling wife’? You may print the photos, as for the details it really depends on what it is you’re looking for Thanks Andrew. Just to clarify a few things Like?

When did you wed her? And were you still married as at when she passed yesterday? We wed in December 2005 and were very much married when she passed indeed I was talking to her on arrival in Lagos before the fateful event I see you moved back to England. Do you have another family? I work in Malaysia, we have a private home in UK, I do not have a second family Also did you have kids together? No kids, we were planning this year 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’? Our private life is nothing to do with work life, there has to be a balance How did you hear of her death? I found out you last saw her in December? I was talking to her on arrival in Lagos before the fateful event How did you meet her? She must have been very young… I met her at a friend’s leaving party and fell in love straight away, but had to work hard to persuade her I was genuine So you will be planning to come here for burial rites…

Yes I have applied for visa and shall come next week But how did you manage the Prezzo drama? Prezzo was part of BBA game, just like in the movies, there was nothing to fear But funny it dragged way beyond BBA It dragged because the media dragged it, other wise it would have died naturally. Prezzo will say anything to get attention Do you think he fell in love? And did you ever think Susan liked him for a minute…? People fall in love and it’s not impossible to love more than one person, but there are different levels. She liked him initially, but began to despise him and distanced herself as he tried to use her she complained he was very manipulative How did you come about your alias ‘Oyibopeppay? Oyiiibopeppay is a name used in the villages for white man getting burned in the sun. I used to work in the bush erecting BTS for MTN and Glo You have direct access to her password? The memories album was posted on her twitter. Or you requested for an admin to post? I am an official admin. I don’t need any password but my own. It was authorised by Goldie One last question: so much speculation on cause of death. I see from your facebook timeline that you’ve followed the reports. Have the doctors/family/label told you what the cause of death is? An autopsy is being carried out and we will await results. The rest is speculation and hearsay And did she have any medical condition?

She had no medical condition, Is it true she was in India recently? She was in Malaysia, we spent Christmas together away from prying eyes What will you miss most about her? Everything, she was the most beautiful person I ever met, no moment was wasted. Sweet, intelligent, sexy and a magnificent cook!!!! And she was a determined young lady… Very. That’s what I liked about her Are you originally from England? Was she officially a citizen of your country by marriage? Or that was not concluded?

I’m from England and was processing Nigerian citizenship before I was transferred to Malaysia. Of course she was citizen of UK before we met, she lived and schooled there She was indeed a star, as I’m sure you’ve seen from the tributes coming from far and near. Even the BBC and Billboard recognise her star
