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 diseased 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 it hold in Canada.
Moji Olaiya’s Abuja based Alhaji husband and father of her two month old baby, who arrived Lagos yesterday, also acceded to the Thursday burial.
But with Ekiti state intervention, all will await the corpse which will arrive Nigeria by the weekend.

Omg this is so good of Ekiti state government. Welldone fayose. This got me all emotional 😥😥😣😣😣
ReplyDeleteA step in the right direction.
DeleteYour comment will be visible after approval.
Fayose is spending on funeral these days, they're still on Late Adeyinka Adebayo's case, now this. Also Prof. Borishade is still there for them to do. RIP to all of them
Delete*Larry was here*
If this woman died in Nigeria, they would have started trending hash tags justice for moji. Now , because it is in Canada, no one is trying to suspect if there was some form of negligence because it was her time . When you die in Nigeria, it becomes doctors and nurses vampire feast.
DeleteFirst of all, pregnancy puts a woman at a risk of Silent Myocardial Infarction (meaning death of heart muscle) any woman that is hypertensive is not just given any antihypertensive drug but a particular one to prevent this condition.
At her age, she is obviously a high risk patient. At 40, she has to be under vigilance. What happened to her is classical of Cardiac arrest following a myocardial infarction.
I read most people talking about eclampsia and press eclampsia. Yes but remember she had her baby over two months ago, I would have said post partum eclampsia but if you read the story carefully, this is more of a cardiac arrest.
Hypertensive diseases of pregnancy is a disease of the BLACK. Believe it or not, it is commoner in our environment so we tend to have the skills to manage it more than foreigners who probably see it once in a very long while.
Back in the UK, I was surprised that some doctors there don't even know the drug of choice for this condition just like I don't know much about the conditions commoner in white and very rare in blacks. What they call huge fibroid abroad is like the size of an orange. In Nigeria you see people removing fibroid of 20kg, the patient can't even walk again. That is the diversity. We don't have to blame the hospital or believe everything we hear about our hospitals because death and negligence can happen everywhere.
Well done Fayose. Try and equip the e hospitals in your state and pay workers salary. Our intervention shouldn't just be when someone turns into a corpse first.
Now there is outbreak of Ebola and no one is there to check anyone. Until you will hear that 10 people are dead then they will start looking for health workers that will die for them.
The likes of Dr Adadevoh are almost gone, the new generation doctors will not die for you if you won't do same for them. Na side on look we go dey. Prevention is better than cure.
How come no one is asking what these complications are? If na for naija them go Don kii doctor and close hospital join.
DeleteThank you @09:46 a.m true words.
DeleteYou anonymous should just shut up.
DeleteShe tried on the way to the hospital. So which doctor and nurse should be blamed for negligence.
If you like, carry your Nigerian spirit work for UK and make silly mistake. That's when you will know Naija is better for you.
Thanks. I Also thought about this. it is really surprising that no one has mentioned negligence since it happened in canada. Thanks for also eductaing us about risk in pregnancy at over 40
DeleteYou are right though. I am 4 months pregnant and I have been on blood pressure medication from the day I knew I was pregnant. I ran to my GP and they recommended the medicine for me. My blood pressure is absolutely fine and I am closely monitored.I know God will see me through.
DeletePregnant women need to take their health serious. It starts when you are pregnant not when you are almost due. Don't ignore signs and please check every every.
I really don't know what happened with Moji's case but dying 2 months after seems strange. God knows best and may she rest in peace.
Anon 9:46, pls I want to know you.
DeleteYou dy mind them, they don't trust our doctors & nurses that's why they feel we don't know what we are doing yet most of our class mates are working abroad. Rip MA
DeleteMY 2 CENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH EKITI GOVERNOR FOR COVERING THE COST OF FLYING HER BACK TO NIGERIA. VERY KIND OF THE GOVERNOR. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HOME
DeleteMY 2 CENT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH EKITI GOVERNOR FOR COVERING THE COST OF FLYING HER BACK TO NIGERIA. VERY KIND OF THE GOVERNOR. THERE IS NOTHING LIKE HOME
DeleteAnonymous 9:46 kindly read up on Postpartum/Peripartum cardiomyopathy. This can occur up till 5month postpartum and can happen all of a sudden.Educate yourself a little more nne!
DeleteAnony 09:46...good suggestions but there seems to be some other factors and forces outside what you analysed. Truth is Moji hasn't had it cool in the last 2 years.
DeleteThis death raised my hackles and gave me serious goosebumps. While waiting for the woman that sold moi moi leaves to me yesterday evening, I was reading the story online when she returned with the sizes I wanted, she peeped and I told her that Ireti is dead(that's her most popular name courtesy of TV Series Super story), Moji's poster fir tge launching of her last movie was on the wall in that shop, she wailed real bad. Muttered some Islamic wordings and wiped her face , then she said "so Alhaja never escape from this thing, she may not survive this one". What do you think that meant? They live in same neighbourhood and attend same mosque mind you.
Recall her brother passed on 2 years ago in May? Ever heard of household enemies or principalities and powers? The whole Lagos is mourning my dear, not just Ekiti. The pain is heavy, journalists couldn't interview actresses on TV yesterday they were wailing, all red faced.
Reminds me of Late Amaka Igwe's exit. Shocking!
Weldone Gov Fayose.
God give her family the fortitude to bear this loss.
Goodnight Soft spoken Moji Olaiya.
It is well.
Brilliant write up
DeleteIt's well
DeleteSis Eko do you really mean it because I am not understanding.
DeleteGbogo, see how others stated their points without insult.
DeleteFoolish fool
So kind....
ReplyDeleteRip
@Galore
May her soul rest in Peace, Amen
ReplyDeleteStill in shock about her death. Her death reminds me funmi Martins death,years back. My prayers are with her family especially her daughter Adun.
ReplyDeleteFeel sad about what people wrote her,until u are in someone's shoes(predicaments), do not judge.
It takes two to tangle, I wonder why it is only the woman dat is been abused, what of d man. Which is better RUNS with married men or get WIFED by a Married man.
May her soul rest in peace.
She has finished her race, what about You.
God bless you for this! It's better to be wifed by a married man than to be a runs girl with one.
DeleteSmh, you girls have no esteem. May ur wishes be granted, polygamy is your portion.
DeleteTo those shouting,, "she is Muslim, he is Muslim". Islam does not encourage or support adultery. If he wanted to take a second wife, he would have announced to the first wife and the family. Not one person catching by force belle. Mr Femi is happy eating moi moi and akamu with his wife and children. It is the woman that suffers the most from adultery: Note to side hens.
DeleteNo matter how we condemn people, nobody has a death day. It could be anybody anytime, anywhere and anyhow. Weather you are the best christian, muslim or whichever, it is God alone dt knows about our forthcoming death.
DeleteBut what is the issue if the guy is Muslim? Their religion permits it.
DeleteIn as much as am not supporting polygamy Pls let's remember its not an abomination. So stop castigating a woman dt want to be a 2nd wife, or 3rd even if is 100th wife, is her choice & not our bizness
DeleteIts well
ReplyDeleteChai poor woman . So sad . Death really is final
ReplyDeleteOooooh God what a loss..I always call her ireti cos of d super story she acted years back..I wept yesterday when I saw writeup by her friends on IG..I felt so broken for her first child.. I know how it feels to loose a mom at a young age.. D pain is deep and forever..even now DAT I'm married there are some questions my mom I want to ask her as an experienced woman BT she not there to answer them..instead I find myself talking to friends abt them DAT I don't even know d true intent of their heart..
ReplyDeleteLord grant d family peace and comfort at dis time..
Lord bless fayose for dis...
That's good of you Fayose. Her death is so painful. May her soul RIP.
ReplyDeleteWhen death comes, it comes. If she had died in a Nigerian hospital, am sure we'll blame her death on them.
ReplyDeleteI guess there are exceptions to the rules in Islam.
Rip to the dead.
That's very good of the Ekiti State govt.
ReplyDeleteI can't still believe this beautiful woman is gone!!!! I saw her picture on fb where she was placed on life support. Its really brought tears to my eyes.People circulating that picture should respect the dead.... Mojisola, maje ejo, maje okolo,nkoti won baje lorun Niko bawon je. oo.. Sunre abiyemo otito..
ReplyDeleteMy love for Ayo fayose keep increasing every day. May God bless him greatly for this kind gesture. Her daughter deserves to say her final good bye before her mum is buried. She's not gonna see her again,so she deserve it.
To we the living, may God help us number our days so that we will live a righteous life. There's nothing in this life.
Hmm complications, and no one is blaming a negligent doctor in canada.
ReplyDeleteShe was dead on arrival (dod) !!!
DeleteShe died even before reaching the hospital. Stress during pregnancy & after childbirth is a major killer!!! Especially for the older women.
She already developed serious health issues as of 2 months ago before her death.
Don't mind them. Instead they will start making excuses and covering up for them. That's when they will even go and browse and come up with one million reasons why it is her time. If na naija they will still blame the doctor for a 90year old woman that died natural death.
DeleteAnon9:24, contrary to that something happened during childbirth that had lead to that. Did you not read about the complications? If that complication was managed very well, she won't be felling unwell. It means that even as she left hospital, she wasn't ok. Something went wrong somewhere.
DeleteDon't mind them but we must keep the good work
DeleteI know the husband, and I know he can't marry another wife, cos iyawo is very very very strong both ways.
ReplyDeleteUr illiteracy is on another level!!!
DeleteHow can u say her husband? And yet she's very much single on paper & traditionally ?
Is that how yoroba people think?
How can u say her husband??? And yet she's single???
DeleteYour illiteracy is on another level!!!
Of course Mr Femi's wife will not agree. He must have told her to abort the baby but she decided to keep it @42. The man cannot even show face or make burial arrangements because he don comot hand since.
DeleteThank God she comes home to rest
ReplyDeleteComes home? She is gone. Her remains is nothing but decaying flesh. God rest her soul.
DeleteMe too I see no need for the waste of government funds. If the family had chosen to bring her home themselves good and fine. Bringing the corpse back to Nigeria won't bring her back to life. I sympathise with her 2 daughters and her aged father though. God rest her soul.
DeleteI don't know her or maybe can't recall through the pictures I have seen of her this past few days.. but this sudden death is the most painful.
ReplyDeleteMay God give the people she left behind to bear this big loss.
God Fayose Weldone
Amen.
Gov*
ReplyDeleteSo kind. Thankyou Fayose
ReplyDeleteNa wa oh it is well Rip Moji
ReplyDeleteThat's better,thy shouldn't have considered burying her in a foreign land considering her status in her country.She made impact in the movie industry,most of us enjoyed her films.
ReplyDeleteGod bless Fayose for this.
ReplyDeleteI like the Yorubas, they always pull together in joy or sorrow. It's a positive thing I learnt from them. What Ekiti govt did us what south west governments do. Other regions can learn from them. With this kind gesture, they will help bring closure to her daughter and even her mother. That Abuja alhaji should pls focus on his wife at home and that baby with his other children and stop wifing ladies. Train the ones you have with good quality education and lifestyle abeg. Polygamy is evil.
ReplyDeleteI really don't get o, Islamically a dead person should be buried within 24hours, the deceased husband and family members have decided to do things the right way but fayose stopped the burial because he is who? the deceased father? what right does he have to do that? Mtchew misplaced priorities
ReplyDeleteHer family is Christian. She was also a Christian before she converted to Islam.
DeleteIf the so called horseband or her so called Moslem associates are so concerned about her mode of burial.
Let them come and take over. You think burial of someone is chicken change.
Or you think that person she was staying with in canada that she was even uncomfortable there will drop money to bury her.
Let her family that love her and there for her bury her the way they see fit.
Fayose is doing what her next of Kin which should be her older daughter is requesting as her heir.
Until you loose someone the same circumstance the family did you will not understand what it means to have closure...read the the story and understand...read the part where ekiti state gov't volunteered to bankroll the shipment of the body...perhaps the family would never have considered buring there daughter, mother, sister, aunty etc...in a strange land where she was not based...if they had money to bring the body back....you can never understand.
DeleteAhba let's stop being bias Na, we all know moji family was In support of burying her on Thursday, the only person who wanted her back home Is her daughter, they already agreed to bury her. And who said Fayose stopped the burial because of money? Beside you are still looking at all this from a Christian perspective, it doesn't cost too much to bury someone especially someone her age. Infact we Dont even need casket, we only need mat.
DeleteAll I'm saying is it's wrong for Fayose to stop the burial when the family has agreed to do the needful the man sabi to do 'karimi' too much and I don't get why no one can see that
@anon yes I understand you but obviously you don't understand me and we will just keep going back and forth so.... 🏃 🏃
DeleteFayose did not stop the burial against their wish. He rather stepped in for them financially because her colleagues had started to ask for donations to bring her home on her daughter's request. So the governor prolly felt emotional about the young girls request and he stepped in to make things easier. And besides, moji was from Ekiti
DeleteSisi Eko,thank you for educating Ololade Salaudeen,who is so limited in Intellect to reason that Fayose could not have spontaneously stopped the burial. His gesture is a kind deed to offer help and let the family have closure. Mr Ololade, uhmm, i pity you cos your level of ignorance is Epic. Chai, i shudder and sigh when some people write or enunciate their thoughts. I pity those who associate with you.
DeleteRip Aunty Moji,so so sad
ReplyDeleteI commend Gov. Fayose for this. What a wonderful gesture.
ReplyDeleteFayose God bless you
ReplyDeleteI still don't believe this calm lady is gone.
ReplyDeleteTo reclaim corpse from overseas no be beans oh,Fayose dey try.��
ReplyDeleteToo much of IDx, Criminal Investigation on DSTV and recent cases of domestic violence makes me feel something happened. Cardiac arrest kwa? May her soul rest in peace.
ReplyDeleteAdun darlyn, God will always be there for you and your sister. Hold on tight and win for her. Help will not depart from you. And be good. Moji is one of the very few actresses I respect so much.
Hmmm thank you fayose moji rest in peace. I pity femi,now people will accuse him and the wife of killing her which might not be. Let's all check our heart all the time. Cardiac arrest can happen to anyone at any time. Also we should mind what we eat. Eat more vegetables, fruit, cut out oils,fatty food,fried things,sugar and drink more water
