You need to see the bombardment of text messages, missed calls and the repeated calls from stubborn folks buzzing my lines like angry bees ! “Baba, is it true,Majek Fashek is dead? Groovemaster, urgent, please return this call. Is it true,if yes, how did he die ? Please, I just want to know what killed him? I would appreciate an exclusive on him, I would give you the credits. Pee Tee, it’s past 10pm (of the 2nd day of June ) and we can’t see anything written by you on Majek. Please write o. We can’t wait to read your piece on him….” and on and on the pressure mounted despite the fact that I told them, “I go write my own after seven days”. I don’t follow the crowd, as there would be hordes of folks and reporters having this and that to say and publish about the irreplaceable Diamond Boy of Nigeria music cum global music ambassador, Majek Fashek. And somebody I respected so very much called,I gave him my word and here I am with this hurried and scattered thoughts…..
WHERE DO LEGENDS GO ?
There’s a time to cheer, a time to jeer.
There’s a time to dance, a time to stop.
A mega star has fallen from the sky.
What a time to bow off of the world stage.
Majek Fashek the Rainmaker chose the raining season in his native motherland Nigeria to take his final exit, the same way he came into our nationwide consciousness in the raining season of the year 1988.
But where do legends go and congregate ?
it’s a certainty that Majek Fashek is in the company of his favorite musical influences cum legendary bandleaders namely Jimi Hendrix, Bob Marley and Fela Anikulapo Kuti,et al.Don’t also forget, Majek is now at peace and in perfect bliss with his beloved mother. Imagine the Welcome Party being organized for him by his mother and the ongoing Spiritual Musical Festival in the great beyond.
SHAAAARAP ! NO BE CRACK AND WEED KILL AM.
From the time news broke that his life expired inside a health facility in New York on the first day of June,2020,I’ve been hearing and reading more of the stupid stuff on Majek than the ovation and celebration that his sudden Call To Glory and one-way trip to his ancestors truly deserves.
If diamonds are forever, the name MAJEK FASHEK and his vocals will echo forever because while he was with us he recorded and released timeless classics unlike the heaps of plastics in the music market today.
People, if you don’t know, you don’t know..Abeg, no be crack and weed kill am ! Please get your facts right and don’t fall mugu and permanent maga for what his detractors hatched and cleverly orchestrated in the evil coven and diabolically planted on him like a cross as a punishment for failing to rene * ………………………..*
And from that day, the shining music star was attacked by the African Air Force and made to be repulsive and displeasing tó the eyes and sensibilities of his legion of fans and admirers home and abroad. That’s why in the eyes of the public (world ), ” he was struggling with Drug Addiction” but his underlying problem was spiritual, spiritual and spiritual.
With the info available, from Sonny Okosuns (God bless the dead ) coupled with some of MF’s old-time music associates and band members based in the US, some wounds are not worth reopening, just like some stories are better left unsaid, unpublished, even afterdeath.
( As it is, I have revealed too much already. So help me God. Amen. )
Moving forward, : my scattered thoughts of him continues,wait up.
