Joseph Edgar, an investment banker and
blogger, has run into Nigerian music legend
Majek Fashek this morning in Lagos.
Joseph Edgar and Majek Fashek
On his way to work the man saw a loony figure
in sagged pants with dirty black underwear
showing, and a caftan perched precariously on
his extra lean shoulders.
The man with long unkempt dreadlocks and
yellow teeth had a surprisingly very handsome
face. In this man Edgar recognized one of the
legends of Nigerian music Majek.

He was begging for ogogoro because he did not
have 100 Naira to pay for it. The blogger
reportedly stopped, brought out the money, but
suddenly got confused.
“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,” Edgar recalled.
Majek downed the drink and hugged the blogger
like he had just saved him from death.
“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.”
Speaking with the blogger, Majek said that he
was not going to leave this host until it finished
its dreadful task of killing him.
Shortly after the rencounter with the former
music star, the impressed Edgar shared his
experience and sad feelings in his blog.
“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?” the blogger asked.

“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 beggarly 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,”
he added. www.naij.com/459855-majek-fashek-from-nigerian-music-legend-to-beggar.html
