Friends of Bebe Jewelry are soliciting help to bring back her body to Nigeria; they reportedly need about ₦40 million. UPDATE: This Nigerian businesswoman, Blessing Orji, popularly known as Bebe Jewelry, died in China. The latest report is that bringing her body back from China to Nigeria for burial will cost ₦40 million, or they can cremate her body in China and send her ashes to her people in Nigeria.
But please, why is bringing back a corpse from abroad more costly than booking a flight? A round trip to China is around ₦1.5 million or ₦2.5 million depending on the airline. To bring back a corpse from China: ₦40 million. And na for boot the corpse go dey oo. Why is bringing back a corpse more expensive? This is so sad.

We will not die young," Nigerian businesswoman Bebe Jewelry said in her last video posted before she slumped and died in a China market.
