JohnnyNY:

may her gentle soul rest in perfect peace. God bless Ekiti state.

Still wondering, if there's money for her to travel abroad, why no money to return her corpse?

Anyway, thanks Fayose for caring for her daughters wish.

fortifiedng:
The burial of Nollywood actress, Moji Olaiya, earlier scheduled yesterday by 4pm (Friday, May 19, 2017) in Canada, was aborted at the last minute by Ekiti state government.

The remains of the 42 year old mother of two daughters who died of cardiac arrest following childbirth complications on Thursday, May 18, in Canada, will now be ferried to Nigeria for burial.

Insiders at the Magodo home of the actress (in Kosofe local council area of Lagos) revealed that the government of Ekiti volunteered to bankroll the shipment of the corpse to Nigeria.

Earlier, the family and her colleagues had agreed that Moji Olaiya should be buried in Canada as Islam enjoins (with deceased buried not later than the second day after death) at 4 pm yesterday.
But the plans changed with the intervention of Ekiti state (where the actress is from).


Her eldest daughter, Adunola, 18, had insisted that her mother’s corpse should be brought back to Nigeria. But she was persuaded to allow the Canada funeral yesterday.

Moji Olaiya’s Abuja based Alhaji husband and father of her two month old baby, who arrived Lagos two days back, also acceded to the Thursday burial.

But with Ekiti state intervention, all will await the corpse which will land here by the Weekend

Very pathetic, we shall all die. Marriage is not the end of all things, I pray for all our ladies, dont destroy your faith or sold yourself out just because of fame.
God please comfort all, especially Baba Victor Olaiya

That's why I love fayose

State shouldn't be paying for burials though, that's over 20 to 30 million we're talking about.

Thank you Ekiti State Govt

Is this what a state government should be doing with taxpayers money . We definitely have lost it in this country. How does this contribute to the common good and social order of people of Ekiti that linger in hunger and an abject state of underdevelopment .

see the way they are qualifying the man like as if he is one billionaire and he cannot afford to bring the corpse of his wife back?

Before I was expecting the burial committee to approach lagos government on bringing back home her body.

Honestly state shouldn't but let's say she served that state diligently then why not. I understand her dad was prominent in his days.

Edit

What is Ekiti state's business with a dead body?

Did the family request that the State government help them out? Kini big deal. Earth na earth.

I am not understanding...

Dalastically:

PhD in jollyfication . Honestly flight alone cost about 6,000 dollars and you know Naija after this and that put their own it comes to 54,000 dollars.

We pay too much unnecessary attention to corpse. Who don die don die...
Why can't she be buried in canada

I read that the cost of burying her in Canada is more higher than bringing her home gan self.

Fayose the social response governor..if non popular Ekiti man had died in such circumstances, even though it get to inner hearing of state house no such valuable action would have be taken.. Ekiti have more oppress citizens that needed your prompt action like this Mr stomach in fractured

Its not about the money to bring her corpse to Nigeria but they are just trying follow what her religion states beside the cost of bringing her corpse here is even half of what they will spend to bury her in Canada..

Kudos to the vegetable and Apc's horror, Ayodele Fayose.

It costs so much to cargo a corpse back to Nigeria. Last time I checked it was about a million naira and that was back when you could get a return ticket from Lagos to Newyork for just a little over 100k. After then, I started respecting families that bring bodies back home for burial.

My point is that the cost is exorbitant and that brings me to the main reason for posting this comment - always get a travel insurance when travelling abroad. For some countries, it is part of the visa requirements but we should all endeavour to get one. It comes in handy in times like this. Nobody prays for evil but a little reprieve goes a long way.

Rest in peace M'am

The corpse will be chartered by ambulance plane and it really costs a lot.

lonelydora:
Place of burial is insignificant to the dead. How will Muslims take this? It has exceeded 2 days nah.


Whatever shaa.

Late Gani Fawehinmi wasn't buried immediately.
