As the news of Goldie's sudden death spreads around the media, there have been a lot of questions about how she got her last name "Harvey" as no one really knows a lot about her personal life ( unless of course what we all saw at the BB Allstar reality show).

Well, as it turns out, Goldie, as she is popularly known as was infact married to one Andrew Harvey. And in light of her passing, Andrew tweeted this and several other photos of their wedding ceremony.

And in a new development, Goldie's spokeperson realised a statement about the sudden death of this star;

Kenny Ogungbe wrote

"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."

SHOCKING NEWS! Nigerian singer Goldie Harvey is dead!

Nigerian pop artist Goldie Harvey is dead at 31, according to announcements on the singer's Facebook page.
Her death came Thursday following her trip to Los Angeles for the Grammys. Upon her return, Harvey reportedly complained of a severe headache and was rushed to a hospital in Lagos, Nigeria, where she was later pronounced dead.

"With a deep sense of loss, we announce the shocking death of our darling music star, Goldie Harvey," said Kenny Ogungbe, head of Kennis Music, Harvey's record label, in a statement.
Harvey, born Susan Filani, attended the American music ceremony despite receiving no nominations for the awards. There, she was spotted with R&B singer Ciara at a pre-event party.
Harvey is also known in her home continent for her appearance on Big Brother Africa in 2012, on which she stirred controversy for coming off as too Western to many Nigerians.
On the show, she met Kenyan rapper Prezzo, a musician with whom she had a relationship. Prezzo was on his way to Nigeria to meet with the singer prior to her death.

According to her website, Harvey had won numerous awards in Africa, most recently a special recognition at the Top Naija Music Awards. She was working on a new record, The Africa Invasion Album.

Race and Relationship

I am a 29 year old mixed (Swedish, German, n Trinidadian) woman in love with a 26 year old man from Liberia, the heat I get from other African women is horrible. Almost hateful, should I allow this to pull us apart or should I fear that this will one day become an issue as far as the time and compassion takes part. Should I fear loving him wholeheartedly, this is driving me crazy but I don't wan to give up on the first man that truly makes me happy. This gives me fear and I am not trying to run him away, please help me understand this issue and what I could do to make this less uncomfortable then it is. Please help if you can, confused I'm almost heartbroken....

What Could Have Gone Wrong?

I'd really like some advice from everyone regarding my relationship.
 
I'm 24, and I've been with my boyfriend for over 9 years, he is my childhood sweetheart and it was long distance for a while as he went to uni in a different city, so we only saw each other abou...t once a month which was difficult, but we made it work. I trust him and love him very much, and feel that he loves me too. We have spoken about marriage, and plan to get engaged officially as soon as I finish my PHD next year.

The issue is that he is from Nigeria (Igbo), and I'm from St Lucia, I've met his parents who live in Nigeria and his dad was awesome but it felt as though his mum didn't like me very much. I don't know if it was me being paranoid, or if that's just how all mother-in-laws are. I've also been told by my Nigerian friends that people from his tribe don't really marry outsiders. I've asked him before what would happen if his mum didn't like me, and he said all that matters is that he loves me, and his family would need to accept his decision.
However, he's just come back from Nigeria, and he hadn't been in a couple of years, and he's been acting different. He's always been good with communicating, but now it feels like i'm the one making all of the effort, and he starts petty arguments and doesn't really make time to spend time with me like he always did before. I'm afraid that his mum may have poisoned his mind against me, and I just don't know what to do, HELP!

But he told me that they going through a divorce, now the wife is calling me and insulting me but I have fellen in love with him already, and the man is telling me not to worry about his wife, and that they gonna sort it out...now I'm scared that he's lying to me and I will be the looser at the end.
What do you guys think, should I give him time to sort things out or do I stop dating him before it's too late?

Not so sure

I'm 26yr old and I'm dating a 41yr old man. The problem is that, the man was married before and had a daughter but the wife passed on (died). I'm only 10yrs older than his daughter. The family doesn't like me but he saw me through school. I'm worried, should I marry him or stop the relationship? We've been dating for close to 7yrs now. Advice me please.
