When a death occurs in another state or country, it can create additional stress for family members who are tasked with planning the funeral arrangements. Our community is spread throughout the world, and the modern way of life often sees families spread out across the globe. A death far from home requires additional steps to transport the deceased back home for the funeral. Here are some simple solutions: -Travel Protection Insurance (Repatriation Insurance) Most funeral homes offer some kind of travel protection insurance. A small one-time payment covers all the expenses that may be needed to transport a loved one to the airport closest to their primary residence.

Will the series really examine issues about the country’s class differences or will it be just another soapy YA drama? Opening Shot: A car pulls up to a swanky art opening. Ishaya Bello (Mike Afolarin), who is featured, gets out. Then Ishaya wakes up; he’s at his parents’ house in the slums of Lagos, Nigeria. The Gist: Ishaya isn’t in school; in fact, he works three different jobs in order to save up to attend a London fellowship of a well-known artist. His parents Ishaya Sr. (Paul Adams) and Patricia (Funke Akindele) want him to ditch his artist dreams and concentrate on school. His sister Rahilia (Tomi Ojo) sees an ad for an open application period for the prestigious Wilmer School, where a scholarship is being offered. He offers to go with her, but she doesn’t even apply when she finds out she can’t afford the application fee. After his family d...
