Distraught, distressed, dismayed. Those were the words that could best describe the looks on the faces of many visitors who flooded the Magodo residence of Nollywood actress, Moji Olaiya.
Her older brother, Otunba Olaiya, who spoke to NET said Moji’s death was most unexpected.
‘When I spoke to her a few days ago, she did not give signs of death. She never complained about anything. This is really heartbreaking,’ he said.
Olaiya’s housekeeper, Mrs Keji, who described herself as a very close friend of the deceased, revealed details of the actress’ sudden death to us.
According to her, in the last three days before she passed away; the actress had placed several calls from her base in Canada to complain of ‘being uncomfortable’.
‘Her baby was born premature. Her EDD was for May 2017 but complications arose that necessitated that she be induced to save the baby’s life as well as hers. But since the delivery in March, her health had not been exactly perfect.’
Mrs Keji further exclusively informed us that around 10pm local time (3am Nigerian time) she went into a crisis. ‘Her blood pressure shot up and she got unconscious. An ambulance was called to transport her to the hospital. But her case worsened and she gave up the ghost before they could make it to the hospital.’
Keji who could not hold back tears continued, ‘Moji could not say goodbye to us, she didn’t let us hold her baby, where will her mother start from? Her death came too early, I believe this was not ordinary. This looks like a spiritual attack.’
Meanwhile, Moji’s 20-year-old daughter, Adunola was visibly hysterical and had to be held back by friends who were around to console her. The Babcock University student was then taken into an inner room as her screams continued to be heard.
Moji Olaiya’s infant daughter however is said to be in the care of her friend with whom she was staying in Canada. It is unsure what will happen to the two-month-old.
Olaiya’s relationship with the father of the child, simply called ‘Mr Femi’ is hazy as there are insinuations that he is still married to someone else.
The 42-year-old’s death comes almost exactly two years to the death of her younger brother, Abidemi Olaiya who died on May 4, 2015.
Her elder brother Otunba, however told us that the family had not informed their patriarch, renowned highlife muscian, Victor Olaiya.
‘As you know, Baba is old and it is never a good thing for children to die before their parents. We do not know how he will take it. We have to be really careful, but we are going to his Aguda residence later this evening,’ he said.
Oh my God what could have really happened and I like this woman she is a good actress. Rip Moji
ReplyDeleteRip Moji, I loved her!
DeleteMay God comfort her loved ones.
Most probably pre-eclampsia. .....where the blood pressure is uncontrollably high, difficult
Deleteto control, leading to seizure (epileptic state)...sometimes hard to reverse the situation & then DEATH.
This explains why the baby was induced preterm.
Also, the pre-eclamptic state can persist even after delivery. For some women coming out of the seizure can mess up their mind/ memory...then gradually it might come back to normal.
On the whole, it is a serous and very life threatening situation.
You might be right. This happened to me less than 2 months after I had my daughter. I was in ICU for 3 days before I was taken to medical ward. I almost died.it started from headaches. As in serious headaches. I could not see or be around a lit room. In my head I blamed it on lack of sleep but after 3 days and it persisted, I had to see my GP immediately. When the GP checked my BP he said I should be taken by ambulance to A&E and I needed to be seen immediately. Hospital checked me and said I must stay overnight for further monitoring but I asked if my baby can stay with me which they refused and I begged them to let me go home that I would come back first thing in the morning. I was given some medications to buy. As I was coming out of the car to buy my medications. I had a seizure then another one in the ambulance and then I passed out. My baby that I was too scared to leave behind we got separated by force. I thank God for my nanny then who contacted my family and looked after my less than 2 month old baby and a son who was less than 2. Please let us learn to listen to our bodies. May God bless and protect us all. Amen. NA
DeleteJeez!! I don't even know what to say. Beyond sad😣😥

DeleteChai! So sad... RIP Moji
ReplyDeleteShe went abroad for better medical care and the hand of death still came calling. May God help us. Rest in peace Moji
DeleteI still don't believe she's no more. RIP moji.
Delete@anon 11:19. Thank God she was abroad.
DeleteDid you hear that they called for ambulance at 3am. Where you for see that one for naija?
Before nurses will even rise to get the job their being a salary for, the patient would have expired.
RIP Moji.
Hmmm if it was Nigeria the hospital would have been blamed. Goes to show it was just her time 😥
DeleteThis Is just a sad occurrence. May her soul Rest In Peace.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of Keffy's death. RIP Moji, so sad for your kids, your little daughter will not get to know the cool person you were.
DeleteSo painful
ReplyDeleteRip moji
Am so scared of losing someone
eya
ReplyDeleteRIP
This just broke my heart.
ReplyDeleteMay her soul rest in peace.
I hope is not eclampsia related complications..
Omase oooo,abiyemo Ku oro omo
It's so painful.
DeleteProbably Eclampsia cos she looked puffy in one of her photos holding the baby.And the report said something about high blood pressure
DeleteI feel sorry for her family
Thank you. This is probably preclampsia or eclampsia. Me that is not a doctor knows these things
Delete. To deliver after 40 carries great risk.
Trust sdk beefees to turn into side chick versus wife post.
Like they live inside her house and know her story.
It's unfortunate. I really liked this woman and her personae.
Who is without sin ?????
I really feel for the older daughte especially. They shared a close bond.
Hmmm I feel the death is not ordinary, married to a man that already HV a wife. Rip Moji, I pity the two daughters.
ReplyDeleteShe is a Muslim
DeleteChaiii! Exactly two years after her brother's death, oh no! This must be a foundational problem. They need a family deliverance. I pity her 20yr old daughter, she should please take heart. Too painful to bear, she won't see her mummy forever. Death why?
ReplyDeleteYou dull.
DeleteShe was always so calm, seen lots of her movies, Moji rest in the Lord now...
ReplyDeleteIt is well
ReplyDeleteOjor ajina sira... Amina ya alahu
@Galore
When I saw the news yesterday I felt really bad for her. RIP Moji. Who knew the famous Victor Olaiya is her father.
ReplyDeleteMay her soul rest in peace
ReplyDeleteWhen God permits, we leave regardless of what we have accomplished, expectations or position...
ReplyDeleteGod permitted her to leave.
And I also pray it'd be possible for her daughter to be brought back to the family for care.
May He grant her eternal rest.
So true. The little baby would most definitely be sent to her grandma in Nigeria. I can imagine how broken moji's Mom would be when the baby arrives. Then her other daughter..omg
DeleteI still can't believe she's dead 😢. RIP Moji
ReplyDeleteNigerians are too sentimental to see the truth. She snatched another woman's husband in Abuja, she probably went diabolical for him to kick his wife out. You cannot make another woman cry, punish innocent children, deprive them of the joy of their father and God will be watching you. Note to all side chicks, God is watching You,!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my side chicks trying to kick the main wife out
DeleteAny you don't need to say, I know already
How sure are you of what you are saying? For crying out loud, how sure are you? So you think you will not die someday too? You are pure evil, and God is also watching you. Even if she did all you accused her of, is she the only sinner? Are you without sin? Yet you are busy condemning someone u know nothing about to death. I pity you, your soul is cold and sold to the devil. I repeat, God is watching us all including you.
DeleteGod will judge you according to your deed. Why spread an unconfirmed rumour????? Are you the wife?????
DeleteShut up. She is a Muslim. You wey righteous, do you know when yours is coming? Judgina Oshi.
DeleteMawi, spoken like a true side chick. Do you have a learning disability? You need to read the story again, albeit slowly. The story mentioned a married man being the father of her baby. Continue your dirty ways, God is still watching.
DeleteMy cousin passed on in the states a month after she put to bed, does that mean she snatched someones hubby?
DeleteI tried to stay away from this post cos it reminded me of my mum who died same age as the actress and also my cousin who died in similar circumstance as the actress.
I know its your opinion but please be sensitive.Will her 20yr old daughter be happy reading this? If she were your family, would you be happy if she was talked about same way you did.
Spread love not hate you hear...Most importantly, let GOD be the judge.
May God grant her family the strength to bear the loss and grant her soul eternal rest.AMEN
So why hasn't the man's wife come out to say her husband was snatched, according to you? This woman was never the lousy type of actress, compared to her counterparts. Her keeping her private life off the media doesn't mean that we should suggest or conclude that she was doing something wrong. Just saying
DeleteThe Queen.
ReplyDeletePainful. The host was no longer comfortable with her stay. Na wa.
God console all
So are you insinuating the host killed her yori? I lack words to say to you, you're just an incredible human being. Smh
DeleteMy princess!!...
DeleteWhat's up?...
So the child is a 'bastard'? The father is married to someone else.
ReplyDeleteMadame Rest In Peace o. I hope you repented before you gave up the ghost. No one is perfect, but we need to try try to be holy o.
How is the Child a bastard ehhhn... u guys are so dull meeehnnn..
DeleteCheck out the meaning of a bastard and be guided in your total and profuse ignorance.
DeleteGalore said it was spiritual yesterday,they nearly torn her to pieces
ReplyDeleteAnother one said, ladies should stay away from married men,that moji had a baby for a married nd the wife taught her a lesson
One thing I am sure of is yoruba people nd juju are like 5n6
Rip fine woman
Ohh shut it!! I'm Yoruba btw
DeleteJust leave them.. Make Dem siddon dere make pant dey wear them
DeleteNo be every side chick fit escape the wrath of the wife of the man she is dating
Some women can go to any length to destroy any side chick that trespasses.... My grandmother go say, where your own juju end, na there another person juju Start
A word is enough for the wise
@INI EDO... Take note!!
@Galore
So many things are not right! Or add up???
DeleteThe people or person she was staying with in Canada who she reported as not feeling comfortable with & unhappy. For a pregnant woman & post natal care is very...very important. Any body who makes u uncomfortable during pregnancy & also after having baby is an ENEMY!!!
People travelling abroad beware who or where u go to stay!!!
If u don't have hotel money, please cancel travel plan for ur own good!!!
Abeg leave Galore. That one dey droo comment full every blog like dandruff. Wetin she dey find she go see am.
DeleteThe idea of being pregnant and staying with people is not always as it seems. Sometimes Nigerians take advantage of people living abroad to go and have their baby at their expense without being clear about the length of time they would stay. Mother and baby require a lot of attention however Nigerians sometimes expect the host family to be at their beck and call like househelps do in Nigeria. It doesn't work that way abroad. People do things themselves without any problems abroad. People carry their own luggage at airports not expecting a slave to do it. So I don't think anybody made anybody uncomfortable. It's best to have your own money and rent a condo for a short period of time than unconvince people.
DeleteFemi's wife strong rara. May she RIP, no every woman is something to toy with, they can go to any length to protect their territory.
ReplyDeleteLet me retrace my steps.
Right, somebody like me I will just get naked after midnight cry heavy tears to God. I don't need to know the side chick's name or have have her picture. I still dey wait to see how God will not eliminate my adversary.
DeleteWives should be very prayerful,especially if your ways are pure, Adultery is never a good thing, you could just be unlucky and the wrath of God falls.
ReplyDeleteWhy do most actress go after people husband and the worst of all,they will want to marry the man by force.
ReplyDeleteI am sure she convert to a Muslim, because the said man is a Muslim nd they are allowed to marry more than one wife nd she wanted it
But who knows the heart of the wife at home
Tayan taylor if the wife at home is like me, na die that woman dey. How do they now know the type of wife the married man they are chasing has? BIG QUESTION NOBODY CAN ANSWER.
DeleteI have a Muslim friend ....She is an exchange student, schooling in my school.. ..She said something, she say as she be Muslim to the CORE like this... Her husband must not marry any other person after her, and that she too, she won't be second wife... But if her husband DARE her, by marrying another wife, that that day, she will join Witchcraft and join all occult, just to MARK her territory. .That she would make sure that the lady is a gonner
DeleteSo, all side chicks.. Beware
See the eye web Dem go take dey look her daughter Now for school.... And an average Yoruba person can so backbite
@Galore
Galore you still dey school????? LMAO. In 2017????????
DeleteLmao ok, maybe you be lecturer now? Ikwawwawawwawawa
How can she graduate with almost this evil in her?
DeleteSo heartbreaking! RIP Moji. Your baby will be fine
ReplyDeleteAmen!
DeleteAmen
DeleteNo letter by relatives blaming the Dr?.
ReplyDeleteAbi? Naija way of thinking.
DeleteLol
DeleteThis is funny.. .just laughing here
No be thing to laugh though
Rip @Moji
@Galore
She died BEFORE she got to the hospital. E-diot.
DeleteMay your soul RIP, amen
ReplyDeleteSo sad! This life sef
ReplyDeleteExactly the same way my friend died.... Omg 😱😰😰😰😰😧😧😨😨😨
ReplyDeleteThe woman sha!
ReplyDeleteFinally na prick cause her death.
If she didn't get pregnant, these couldn't have happened. Not every1 is destined to marry /have kids,,when u decide to be faster than God by cutting corners ,this is how it ends sometimes.
Any God who permitted it knows best.
Rest in peace Moji
you get sense.Painful truth.
Delete#anyway God who knows best.
ReplyDeleteMy God! O don't even know What to say
ReplyDeleteI deal with facts
ReplyDeleteBut trust Africans to attribute her death to a spiritual cause
Has a mistress not also delivered successfully for another married man?
This is clearly a complication from a high blood pressure during her pregnancy , the reason baby had to be delivered prematurely to avoid fetal distress.
She probably had eclamptic fits( seizures).
not all death causes are sinister
Arghhh Nigerians and spirituality though.
I'm out.
God bless you. These bitter wives will not stop judging a dead person who cannot defend herself. High blood pressure with advanced age no good for pregnancy. Anybody can die from pregnancy. Be sensitive to her parents and children.
DeleteThank God we have a doctor here. They will soon come and say the wife gave her hbp
DeleteRIP
ReplyDeleteHeeyaaaah, so sad. May God grant the family the fortitude to bear the loss. RIP Moji.......
ReplyDeleteSounding like preeclampsia/eclampsia can't say but with the severe hypertension and having to deliver her early etc may God help us o. Just so sad
ReplyDeleteBut her brother died exactly 2yrs ago, what if the Man's wife is not the cause of her death and don't forget she is the 3rd yoruba actor to be pronounced dead this year alone. May God have mercy and let their soul Rest In Peace
ReplyDeleteLife is spiritual.
ReplyDeleteTayan Taylor, I'm Yoruba and I have never seen or done juju in my life. If u weren't so focused on being tribalistic, don't u think maybe ur life might be better and ur heart free of guile? Think about it.
ReplyDeleteGo and sit down joor
Delete@Galore
You dey mind them. Mtsheeeeeeew
DeleteLeave the fool that is why alot of them stay at one stage in their life. Very tribalistic people. You don't open your heart and mind to other people's culture and respect it.
DeleteYou don't know of what tribe your helper or future husband will be.
I am a proud Yoruba woman married to an igbo man. If I was close minded like alot of people I won't have even given him the chance.
And this is the best man i have ever come across. Worships the ground I walk on.
Help me tell her o.
DeleteCos of this their tribalistic mindset, they have to marry their tribe and always end up marrying illiterates. Educated girl marrying a stark illiterate.
DeleteSharap! Mercy Aigbe no marry illitrate? Is she not educated? Is she or her horseband Igbo?
DeleteMercy Aigbe is Edo
DeleteSo sad,may her soul Rip
ReplyDeleteMay her soul rest in peace. What a loss.
ReplyDeleteMoji rest in peace. Y'all can insult me all you want but i must say this. From what I have seen and heard if only this side okukus will just date this married men, chop and clean mouth there won't be much problems with wives ( please I am not saying it is right ) But you see, this bitches ( some ) will come in and tell the wife to shift for them, they will marry your husband and have kids, no woman will take that kindly and some are ready to go to any length to keep their home. I am not saying this is the case with Moji but ladies STAY AWAY FROM MARRIED MEN!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm this reminds me of my friends aunty that had 2kids for a married man. The first child before the man even got married. But he chose the other lady because of religion and family choice.
DeleteThey continued dating he bought her a house,businesses and treated her like a 2nd wife more or less. But the wife at home hated her with passion. Especially when she heard of the 2nd pregnancy.
Not so long after she had the 2nd baby at over 40yrs. Her first child died at age 18.
She never got over it and she died 2 years later.
Only the baby is left now. Living with her sister. The man can't even take in the child because of his wife. Though he takes perfect care of her and visits.
Me I can't date or marry married man. I love my peace too much.
Some wives go all out.
Shai like Foluke daramola has done. She chased the woman and her 4 kids from Kayode salako's house and moved in with her 2 children from her first marriage on top marrying the year man who is always shinning his dirty teeth.So sad.
DeleteOh or is it mercy j who is by all standards a superb actress but a real big time man thief. Has Odi not continued denying his children from his real wife love? Mercy please stop rubbing what you think you have now in the face of Odi's real family... Stay off social media ohhh
The "said man" was not even there. Only the mother,brother,relatives and friends are there mourning her.
ReplyDeleteIn the end those are the ones that truly care. Especially if you are not legally married to the man.
This is so sad.
She was there in US all by herself perhaps without support from the man.
What was she doing having a child at 42 for a man that can't come out confidently as your husband. They just know him as "Mr femi"
Women we need to learn from this. If you are not legally married to a man,any thing happens they will desert you like Sahara desert.
I'm sorry if I am harsh. But I have taken a lesson from this. In the end only your family remains.
You are not harsh... We have to say it as it is
DeleteAs we are typing this, another Foolish side chick is planning how to unseat main wife and take position.. .
You all will not go Scot free
@Stellla Damascus Aboderin Nzeribe Ademinokan...See as your name plenty... Shameless woman.... .. Be guided

Anon @ 17:34,
ReplyDeleteWhat you said is the gospel truth!
If must travel abroad and you don't have the money for hotel or a guest house paid accommodation, just that trip abegi..!!!
For your own safety.
Most (98%) of people living abroad in Europe, Canada or USA are not welcoming to visitors!!!
They don't mind talking to you on phone or how ever long distance and far away, but once they see you face to face and coming to share or "take" anything from them, no matter how little or insignificant, that can turn diabolical or unbelievable cruelties and spiritual troubles will enter your life.
I assure had she given birth in Nigeria, she may still be alive today and still be around to raise her poor kids. She reported just before she died that her host or the people she stayed with in Canada were making her uncomfortable and she was eager to leave that place and return to home to Naija quick.
You may not even imagine or even believe the amount of pettiness, mean spirit and wickedness Nigerians abroad unleash against vulnerable people or those they consider as being desperate or lacking something no matter how small.
Rape, tip off to immigration, taking advantage of illegal status, eviction without notice, stealing, blocking opportunities among so many other are rampant things that Nigerians and other Africans do to visitors and newcomers abroad. Many times it goes unreported and unknown because the victims are so much in terror or afraid of the consequences and what may happen if they tell anyone what their host have done to them.
Anon 22,04, you got me wrong.
DeleteI was talking about Nigerians going from Naija taking advantage of Naijas in the diaspora. Nigerians should not expect people living abroad to be at their beck and call and serving them. And Nigerians who travel abroad can be really messy because they are used to househelps picking up after them. This is not the case for people who leave abroad. They pick up after themselves happily so this clash in culture causes problems.
Nigerians abroad also don't go spiritual on anyone abeg
