He sure needs help. He was mismanaged at his peak. NDLEA can rehabilitate him by invoking the relevant law.

But it is a lesson to current "celebrities" to manage their stardom.

ignorance is a bliss.... smoke weed everyday.... we do forgive little children when they are scared of the dark... but the only tragedy in life is when grown ups are scared of the light.

Majek is not in his state cos he smoked a natural Herb, Marley smoked, culture and all the roots reggae kings (except for Dube) all smoked the herb. Majek used Cocaine and other Hard man made drugs which caused his present mental state. Please DONT MIS INFORM PEOPLE. GANJA CAN NEVER MAKE YOU RUN MAD!!

I' am a huge fan of troubled musician Majek Fashek. Long time ago (I think) in the early 90's when I heard he takes cocain and heroin I never believed it. I though it was a lie. But was shocked to see him looking so bad as the years go by.

Some of you may not know that Majek Fashek is one of the best raggae artiste of all time (a prophet is not honoured in his own town). Forget about his drug side. Nobody is perfect. He's in the league of Bob Marley, Burning Spear, Culture.

Are there fans of Majek Fashek out here?. I want you know that Majek is still our friend just that he's in trouble. Please let's do something for him now by raising awareness about the evil; hard drug.

I love writing songs, just a hobby. What I' am proposing here is we create awareness on Majek Fashek's deteriorating condition by releasing a ''save Majek'' song. I already wrote one and it's below, titled ''where's my hero?''.
.......................................................................................................................
WHERE'S MY HERO?

For many years
there've been news
Majek do drugs.
I never believe it
Cause, He's my hero
For many years
there've been news
Majek do drugs
I never believe it
Cause, He's my hero
There've been rumours
for many years
Majek do drugs
I never believe it
Cause, He's my hero

It is true?
what I' am hearing
you take cocaine
you take heroin
I wanna know
Cause I feeling so sad
Lost my hero

If you making the mistake of doing drug o X3
Never forget it's the same drug'll kill you X2
If you making the mistake of doing drug o X2

Hey coming out ina Majek style
Let's do Majek Fashek
My hero where're you?. eh!
Historic Majek Fashek
Jah!.

Everybody dance
Come and lets's dance
Shake am your ass
Shubiduba de
Wake up and dance
Sit up and dance
We 're gonna dance
Follow me go dance
Come and lets dance

Where my hero? X3
I lost my hero
I love my hero

Free your mind from cocain my friend
Free your mind from heroin I say
Free your mind from ganja my friend
Free your mind my hero my friend
What will you gain when you lose your mind
What will you gain when you lose your soul
What will you gain when you lose your mind
What will you gain when you lose your soul

Everybody dance
Come and lets's dance
Shake am your ass
Shubiduba de
Wake up and dance
Sit up and dance
We 're gonna dance
Follow me go dance
Come and lets dance

Where's my hero? X3
I lost my hero
I love my hero
Majek Fashek
Where's my hero?
....................................................

Let's raise awareness about the dangers of hard drug use. I believe Majek could still saved when he get to know this project. If he gets revived I will write him a full album for his next release. It's not yet late to save him.

Thank you and God bless.
God bless ‎u!I am so interestedgringringrin

Please stop misleading people. I'm an MSc student in Pharmacy at the University of Nottingham and I can tell you categorically that Cannabis can make you go "CRAZY".

I am not saying this from a theoretical point of view but as a student who in collaboration with 2 other MSc students and a supervising professor has researched and published a scientific paper on the HIGH INTAKE or LONG TERM effect of Tetrahydrocannabinol.

There are many scientific journals out there, and I'm sure your conclusion is not researched based but an assumption. If it's research based please let me know your methodology and procedure as I will be compelled to re-verify my thesis.

STAY AWAY FROM DRUGS

Aromas:

I don't wish him bad but my questions is that back in the day's wot meaningful things i.e investments or buying shares in bank as he done during his youthful age? This a man that reigns more than our present Wizkid, Olamide etc when he was still in active in his career as a musician. Sometimes you might be thinking that you won't live long but to God who has the grace we keep you till old-age, if you made a mistake for not doing proper things at the right time it we surely bounce back. Ayinla Omowura is the only Nigeria indigenous that play for Queen Elizabeth when she visited Nigeria in 1957. Majek Fashek(MF) was invited by Queen to her palace in 1960s to perform during for her during her birthday. So much life n enjoyment, this a man(MF) that when ever he landed @MMIA in Lagos, it we be as if a president or a high personality is around. But despite the fames n wealth then!!!!!!!! Where it is now to support him??


Ok, I'm sure others saw what I saw....but I say it the way it is: Dude, ur grammar knocked me off my donkey!

Again, did I hear u say the queen of England invited Majek Fashek to perform at her birthday in the 60s? That must be Majeks grandpa ur talking abt.

Clap for yourself.

Extensive research how?!

Please can you explain you us the resources you employed for this research, your case studies and all that went into this research and in what medical or pharmaceutical journal your findings were published. Also provide us a copy here as well.


For every research you bring to support your claims, there are also hundreds out there to refute it.

see all a them. Ignorant and they wont love to learn.
You saw someone on the streets with rags and holding a joint, then you conclude ganja drove him mad.
I do not advocate weed for anybody. you are free to make your own decisions. I am only telling you guys not to paint a bad picture of it. thats all. I still repeat...WEED IS NATURAL. IT CAN NEVER DRIVE YOU MAD. A JOINT A DAY........KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY cool


Weed is natural, and so is snake venom and cyanide. Dude are u for real! Are u aware that the deadliest poisons are in their natural state?

Its funny how you guys throw up funny comparisons to drive home your point.



Weed is not poison.

What we are debating is how dangerous is it to you and your health.

The same cannabis has been said to have some health benefits such as suppressing cancer causing cells, reducing blood pressure, turrettes syndrome, e.t.c.

I see your mind is already made up so there's no point trying to convince someone who's already bent on refuting your claim.

But I'll advice you to keep your topic discussions related to football where you'll be more comfortable and stay off of complex topics like medicine. The compositions of Cannabinoids can make your type go crazy already. My 2 cents

It's true it does have some medicinal properties but not without the cross breeding of different selected cannabinoids (Cannabis Satilva, Cannabis Indica, etc.) to achieve a higher concentration of CNC, CBD and CBN and a reduction in THC toxicity content which has psychoactive properties of about 17%.

The Cannabis that gets you the high you so crave for is very dangerous to your health and can make you go crazy. I bet you don't know that there are different species of cannabis.

Medicinal Marijuana is different from your "Weed/Pot/Igbo/whatever" you get from your dealer.

Take note and PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM DRUGS.

Hahahaa


So you are the worlds foremost researcher and leading authority in matters relating to cannabis so what you say should be taken as law abi?! Lol..
All I asked you to do is the same thing any sane person would ask you to do;

1. Provide us the details of your research.
2. Show us your case studies
3. Show us your findings
4. Since you said you have researched and published your findings, provide us the journal or magazine that published your findings (with your name on it)

How hard can this be?! If you are so proud and confident in your research, you shouldnt be afraid to show it here.


Abi did you think that this was your local beer palour where you can just come and say anything you like and people will swallow it hook|line|& sinker..


Lol @ your football comment.. Nice deflection.. But we are all waiting for this your ground breaking research on Cannabis.

He was "mismanaged" by who?

By his record label, producers, markers, managers, etc. Then he was over engaged. There was no way he would meet up with layed down engagement without being overtly induced. His case could be likened to that of late michael jackson.

We all know what happened to Majek Fashek... He could not handle the Fame and Fortune.. greed got the better of him when he demanded more than his proposed contract fees and was let go to fend for himself in the streets of New York.. when you piss of Promoters, you get the boot in yo arsse.. he got depressed, ashamed to come back, started doing drugs and weed. that is the result

And how old he was that he did not have a brain to control his own life?
