Need human hair? This family has too much of it!
Their mother's hair is a whole 6feet long! Longer than her body. Her daughters also inherited the long hair genes and they've all learnt to help each other braid and take care of their hair.
Sometimes, they cut and donate about 20 inches of their hair.
Their Mom, Russel said to her, short hair means just above her waist!
I want some of this hair!
More amazing pictures after the cut.

Nollywood Actor Justus Esiri Is Dead
I heard the sad news of Justice Esiri's death this morning over the news on my way to work. He died at 70 last night.
The actor who was made popular as Village headmaster in the sitcom with the same name is also the father of Sid. The details surrounding his death is still sketchy but I'll update once I hear the real cause of his death.
I made his acquaintance recently at the Catholic Church of Ascension, International Airport, Ikeja Lagos. He usually seats at the front row every Sunday with a permanent smile on his face. He didn't look ill at all the last time I saw him.
May his soul rest in peace.

Goldie Harvey was married. Photos of intimate pictures shared by her husband. Warns Prezzo to stay off and refutes claims of drug use.
I woke up from a nap this evening after a very busy day and was wondering what was up with Goldie. I was surprised when the first thing I heard about her was that she got married since 2005 when she was just 22 to a British expatriate and was still very married before she passed on.
Lots of questions like: how come we never knew, what was she doing with Prezzo, what about the wedding ring that surfaced yesterday were all running through my mind.
In an interview with NETNG, her husband revealed that he met her at a friend's wedding and fell in love with her immediately which let to their wedding in December 2005. The wedding was attend by close family and friends. He even claims that they were always on the phone and was on the phone with her just before she passed on. On the Prezzo issue, he was too sure that, like in the movies, there was nothing to fear.
See what her husband had to say about prezzo in his own words:
On facebook, he warned Prezzo to stay off.

''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''Read Prezzo's touching poem on Goldie's death HERE

Prezzo Speaks on Goldie's Death
Prezzo has finally broken his silence on the passing on of Goldie.
In a sorrowful poem shared on his Facebook page he described his pain at the loss of his fellow BBA contestant.
“God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not meant to be. So he put his arms around you, and whispered come with me.
With tearful eyes we watched you, as we saw you pass away.
Although we love you deeply, we could not make you stay.
Your golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best".
Prezzo and Goldie had been very good friends since their sting in the Big brother house.

Devasted Prezzo heads to Lagos to mourn Goldie's Death
It's been reported that Goldie’s close friend and partner Prezzo is on his way to Lagos, following the death last night of the entertainer and Big Brother alumnus.
Prezzo’s friend, Shaffie Weru spoke to Prezzo’s mum who confirmed that her son left for Nigeria on Thursday night most probably after getting the news of Goldie’s death.
We’re told Prezzo, who met Goldie while both were housemates at the Big Brother Africa Stargame in 2012, is ‘beyond shocked’.
Meanwhile another Big Brother colleague Milicent Mugadi says it’s difficult for her to digest the news of Goldie’s death. ‘Later in the day I will organise together with a few friends to have a private mass to remember Goldie. May she rest in peace. I still cannot digest the news’, she said.

I heard that Goldie harvey who passed on last night in the arms of her close friend, Derenle Edun at Reddington Hospital in Victoria Island may have died of complications resulting from Deep vein Thrombosis(DVT)
The severe headache she had before her death is one of the life threatening sypmtons of DVT.
other symptoms are:dizziness
severe headaches
severe stomach pain
increased weakness
red or brown urine
bruises that increase in size without further injury
red or black bowel movements

any unusual or unexplained bleeding.
While yet another source say they got a report from Reddington hospital, where Goldie died last night, that the likely cause of her sudden death is pulmonary embolism.

Official statement released by Goldie's label Kennis Music
Statement from the CEO of Kennis Music, Kenny Ogungbe
“With a deep sense of loss, we announce the shocking death of our darling music star, Goldie Harvey. Goldie, 31, died on Thursday after she complained of a severe headache shortly after her arrival from the United States where she went to 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.”Rest in peace Goldie. You'll be remembered here.
Rest in Peace Goldie. You left your footprints. You lived, you loved, you were here.
I was in deep shock last night when I heard the news that Goldie had suddenly passed on at Reddington hospital. I mean, we all knew she just returned from the Grammys and full of life. At first, I thought it was one of those internet gists. I couldn't believe it until I heard it was her long term friend, Denrele who was with her that confirmed it.

Stephen Keshi resigns
Stephen Keshi has resigned as the couch of Super Eagles barely one day after winning the African Cup of Nations.
I hear his action was due to hostility from the management of Nigeria's football federation, NFF. Gist carried it that NFF had such little faith in the Super Eaglels that they already bought their return tickets to Nigeria even before the semi finals with the impression that they were not going to pull through that stage.
Looks like today is a day to announce resignations. I wonder who will be next to shock us with resignation news...Uncle Jona?
