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.” Meanwhile, the remains of Goldie who
hails from Ekiti State has been deposited at the mortuary of the Lagos
University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos. Goldie represented Nigeria

“Skibo”. “Miliki” and ” Got To Have It,” presently enjoying heavy
rotations on radio and TV stations across the continent. Burial
arrangements will be announced by the family. May her soul rest in
peace.
Adieu Goldie!!!
