Popular Yoruba Actress, Moji Olaiya Dies Of Cardiac Arrest In Canada


Few weeks after the death of two prominent Yoruba actors, Olumide Bakare and Pastor Ajidara, another popular Yoruba Nollywood actress, Moji Olaiya has died of cardiac arrest in Canada.

Moji, daughter of Nigeria's high life music legend, Victor Olaiya, was confirmed dead barely two months after welcoming her second child in Canada, just a few months after she officially divorced her first husband to remarry another one.

A close family source claimed the 42-year-old actress might be buried in Canada as her aged mother lives in Nigeria and its a taboo in Yoruba land to see the corpse of one’s child.

Moji’s first marriage crashed in 2008, and the Yoruba actress decided to remarry last year at a quiet ceremony in Nigeria. She became more popular with Wale Adenuga's production Super Story in the 90's. Before her death, she featured in several Nollywood movies of Yoruba and English genres.

Nigerians Lose Job As Ecobank Shuts Down 74 Branches

Ecobank Nigeria has shut down about 74 of its 479 branches. The bank says it will deploy staff from the merged branches to other projects but failed to touch on reports that the bank had terminated the appointment of about 50 top personnel staff.  A statement by the bank reaffirmed its commitment to digital transformation, which would enable customers carry out banking activities online, thereby reducing the need to visit physical locations. Charles Kie, the managing director, said the bank hopes to shift its activities to digital channels and improve customers’ experience at reduced cost.
