What has this got to do with his governor, Oshiomole or the senator/representative/state lawmaker or even LGA Chairman/ councillor?

How much personal income TAX did he pay to the government when he was earning millions of $$$$$$$$$

How much tax do you think the government can expect from him if rehabilitated?

If government does Father xmas senselessly like this how will it-

- provide education for all our kids.
- make TAP water available for everyone.
- provide basic health in clinics & hospitals properly equipped.
- RECRUIT and promptly PAY teachers, maintenance technicians/engineers, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, lab technicians, sanitary inspectors, school/hospital administrators, accountants etc

He needs rehab for sure but who should pay and for whose benefit and how DISCIPLINED can he be to guarantee success

Majek Fashek: A National Tragedy By Joseph Edgar

On my way to work this morning, I spotted a loony figure. Pants sagged, dirty black underwear showing, a caftan perched precariously on his extra lean shoulders, shock of long unkempt dreadlocks cascading down his head and teeth yellowed by years of hard living and a face still surprisingly handsome despite the ravages of illicit living.

This was Majek, my hero, the one who brought down the rain. He it was who redefined Reggae and in that one album forced us to look deep into our consciousness, calling us prisoners of conscience. He it was who took that Bob Marley piece, Redemption Song into the sublime. He infused it with his pangolo rhythm and turned it into an anthem of social and spiritual awakening. Majek was a god, strong Adonis like looks, talent yet to me replicated in our clime and charisma of the gods.

This same Majek, I just saw like that in Fadeyi, begging for ogogoro becuase he did not have 100 Naira to pay for it. I stopped brought out 1,000 Naira and was immediately struck by confusion. Should I give him this money and contribute to his death or should I refuse him and watch him throw a tantrum like a disposed toddler. He saved me the dilemma as he grabbed the money from me and rushed to the ugly, black dirty merchant of death, who gleefully poured him a glass full.

Majek downed the drink and hugged me like I had just saved him from the hang mans noose. I looked deep into his eyes and saw a lost soul. He was actually begging for help, the demon inside of him peered at me from his once very beautiful eyes, daring me to do my worse. Assuring me that he had no intention of leaving this host until it finished it's dreadful task of killing him ever so slowly.

He called me a fine boy and wished he was as good looking as I was, I laughed. A laugh that was more of pity, a laugh that was laced with internal cry of pain. A pain that cascaded through every pain in my body. If only I had one tenth of this talent, I would be far from fadeyi begging for N100 worth of ogogoro.

Did we fail him as Nigerians, did we put an umbrella over the Rainmaker, did the flood of his talent wash away his life, what can be done, do we continue watch him make a mockery of a Life once blessed?

Majek in his destitution represents Nigeria. Blessed with more than enough resources., rich in human capacity, more fertile land than the whole of Asia and filled with gifted and talented people, but yet beggerly and poor. Daily our leaders go to 'jibowu' to beg poorer countries for aid, for debt forgiveness. The contradiction never leaves me. Japan with no known Natural resources is so developed that we can only look in shame.

Majek with all the talents of a thousand people, begging the woman who can't lift a finger beside him for N100, Majek being laughed at by miscreants and being mocked with so much joy by those who were not half as blessed by God.

What can I do, but to write this piece and just walk away, lest his guest demon attempt a move on my life. I saw it and felt it look into my soul and with one withered hand, offered me a shot of the Devils brew. A shot I knew would throw me into the darkest pits of Majeks torture, a shot that will take me spiraling down the tunnels of oblivion, destroying the innocent dependent lives of my children while giving Majek solace that he has finally found a room mate albeit a very reluctant and scared one.

I pray for you sir. I pray God gives you peace.

God bless you Majek.

#Life is a learning journey. I pray for him, too.

When you Ignore the essence of religion and call it politics, you will certainly become a victim of religion. In politics, there are winners and losers but only the bad people wins. So calling religion politics is giving yourself option of winning or losing. And to win, you must be evil.

Religion is not politics @Majek

what is this one saying

tnx for the explanation.. I actually knw the OP and the original writer..

@MojiDelano

The best musician Nigeria ever produced just lost it. It's such a pity.

Majek was destroyed by satanic forces in high places which he sang against. He was spiritually overpowered, so he lost the battle. But, he did not lose the war. He's a good spirit and I'm 100% sure Jah will accept his soul.

I saw his pic online and felt exactly the same way you did and I made this song. Where's my hero?. Check it out on YouTube at

This is rather harsh....it is only fair to help another human without thinking of the gains or reward...he is a legend and right now he needs help.

If government does Father xmas senselessly like this how will it-

- provide education for all our kids.
- make TAP water available for everyone.
- provide basic health in clinics & hospitals properly equipped.
- RECRUIT and promptly PAY teachers, maintenance technicians/engineers, doctors, nurses, pharmacists, lab technicians, sanitary inspectors, school/hospital administrators, accountants etc

His case is very spiritual. Take him to MFM for deliverance.

anonimi:



Sorry to say, but his case is NOT spiritual.
No it is not!
It is a mental HEALTH issue that needs expensive rehab treatment.

Thinking primitively that his drug addiction was spiritual at the beginning is what made it get worse to this stage. Let us stop DECEIVING ourselves.

brainpowerng:

I pardon your ignorance to discern and see issues from a wider perspective. Its so ridiculous seeing educated illiterates forget to know that the physical is the manifestation of the spiritual. Majek's soul is troubled and no known science rehabilitation procedure has the capacity to revive him except God.

He needs God more than anything else.
