I saw this picture and tears rolled down my eyes, I couldn’t
believe that this is the picture of
Majekodumi Fasheke a.k.a Majek Fashek ,the famous and best known reggae artist of his time in Nigeria with his famous song, Send
down the rain, Redemption song(A copy
write of Bob Marley’s song),
I remember going to see him in the early 90’s at the Grasshopper
international Handball Stadium Owerri
Imo state, Nigeria. That day I can remember very well he wore a white track
suite with green strips on the side, then he was a striking handsome and well
presented guy and day the stadium was
packed full with loads of admires especially the ladies, some of whom were
throwing flowers at him and I bet he was the envy of all young men of his age .
But look at Majek today ,a proper shadow of what he used to be
back in the days ,a walking corps and I bet he must have lost that charming
voice of his that actually sent down the rains whenever it was played or he was
performing.
He was indeed a popular artist and his song still make waves
and drag people to the drag floor up till date.
But whatever turned him into this must be very bad, I wonder how it all went wrong for the
one time Mr charmer that now looks like a scarecrow, did he not have good
mangers and advisers , I can’t just place a finger on it. It’s so sad to see a
legend waste away like this.
I just hope he gets help and put back the little that is
left of him together.
