ReplyDeleteRIP Goldie. I am so so shocked. This is someone that attended the grammy awards in USA. Does that mean she returned to Nig just to die? Kai! I suspect foul play,this just can't be a natural death so to speak, evil people have struck again. May God give her family and friends the fortitude to bear this great irrepairable loss.
