What??? I feel terrible seeing this. Drugs written allover

sean411 said...

wat a waste....he was so talented

Tony said...

Presently Majek needs help
both physically and
spiritually. We can't just
leave the Rain Maker like
this. He had blessed us
with his songs,he is a
legend. So pray for him to
be rehabilitated.

Estee said...

OMG!!! See what weed et al can reduce a man to! Youths of my generation, BE WISE!

Victor Olisa said...

Kenneth said...

Well its just weed, weed more weed and then plenty of hard drugs. All of which helped get him to where he is now.HE NEEDS TO HIT REHAB WITH A DETERMINATION. He looks all messy too :(

...na weed (indian hemp) nia cause am! From fry pan 2 fire Majek Fashek

juliet said...

he smoked his life away

Anonymous said...

the ansa is very very simple 'IGBOO" indian hemp

Chiek said...

He said he was going to bounce back. Let's pray and see how that goes!

chichiluv said...

What a sad, sad shame. I saw him twice in the States, both times he was under the influence of some substance. This is what happens when a person doesn't have God in his or her life, and not being surrounded by people who keep it 100% real with them instead of being yes-men.

What a waste of enviable talent. Sha, I hope he takes a good look at his life and takes it to God because that is the only person who can redeem him from the hands of whatever it is that has gotten a hold of him. He says he's an alcoholic not a drug addict, well, either which way a substance has replaced God in his life and he needs to reverse that situation. E no go easy but him fit do am with God's strength.

Vaughn Samuel said...

What happened to him? exactly what is going to happen to all those Celebrities that think that doing drugs/weed means you have arrived! They say that the stuff gives them inspiration. See what inspiration looks like. Ask Whitney and Majek how many records they sold after they took to the drugs. A lesson for Wizkid and his friends!!!

kim said...

This is the result of hard drugs, the youth of today should have proper look at this man..... he was once a super star. God please help this hero and save him from the hands of the evil doers.

Naijabizcom said...

Majek needs help please lets the good people of Nigeria come to his rescue.

Lynda said...

This is called "hard drugs", effect of years of use of hard drugs (cocaine and everything else out there) and alcohol. He did this to himself, no be person and its so so sad to see a talent like him to turn himself to trash.

i was in secondary school when he released send down the rain, he was so talented. once he was singing the song at ahmadu bello stadium in kaduna when the heavens opened, showers of rain everywhere.

from what i see from these pictures - he is almost dead. he has taken showers of egbo.

linda what do we do to him?

valerie said...

lmao... i cant help but laugh after seeing these pics. wat a waste *in chi-gurls voice*

Anonymous said...

Linda, it is called meth addiction, I doubt he'll make it alive, it's a very dangerous drug made at home with dangerous chemicals even lithium battery join sef, I see signs of long use, once the person starts to loose teeth like this, water don pass garry be that, only very strong determined relatives or friends can save this guy which I doubt bcos I know him to like authority too much, felaish...When are you going to send your number so we can talk now you are in Amrika?

I bet you if we can hold this Man down and shave his hair off his Head, he will become normal. This is really sad. Shave his head and keep him out of circulation for a while, I am sure he will regain his consciousness.

GEEEEZZZ...

he 4gt rule no 1...never get high on your own supplies

RC said...

If you are not familiar with his music or not a fan of his just say so. Majek is/was a great talent, his music is what comes to mind when I think of the early 90's. Very unfortunate he turned out this way, only he can save himself.

Sean O said...

C'mon ...guys that's not WEED. Majek is showing clear symptoms of a CRACK or a CRYSTAL METH addict. We all know homeboy hit New York when d crack cocaine game was big in yankee...then he started freebasing.SMH.....crack makes u gaunt and rots up the teeth. wasted talent, what a tragedy.

Ngbuzz said...

This is really sad!! if only he could see this comparison..
I'm gonna definitely look sexy at old age.. kill the habits

Anonymous said...

You cannot FORCE a drug addict to take HELP. If you give money, they just use it for drugs. They lie, steal,"borrow", anything to get money to feed the habit. This sickness is dehumanising.
A disease of the mind, body, spirit.
He himself must Find the will, determination and the desire to quit and ask for help. When he gets help, he must be very determined himself to go through the detox and stick with the rehabilitation.
God cannot even force him. God can provide Help but because we have free will to choose, it is still up to him. God is there if he decides to accept. We can pray for him but ultimately, he must still take responsibility.
He chose his path in and he must, with help, take the difficult path OUT!!! Good Luck!!!

That right there, is the story of Nigeria. Great nation, brilliant minds, immense potential, an array of missed chances, a catalogue of squandered opportunities, rot setting in, hope fading, and decay settling in. Nothing more to add.

@Fearless!, are you too young to remember?

IKHARERE said...

ANY ONE WHO HIDES UNDER THE DISGUISE OF DRUGS AND OTHER ENHANCING SUBSTANCES REALLY DONT DESERVE THE TALENT THEY HAVE AND SO CANT BE ACTUALLY REFERRED TO AS TALENTED. HE HAD A CHIOCE FROM THE ONSET AND MADE ALL THE BAD DECISIONS NECESSARY. HE LET HIS SUCCESS GET TO HIS HEAD AND FOLLOWED THE WAY OF THE WORLD. A MAN ONCE RESPECTED HAD BECOME SUCH A PITIFUL SIGHT. THE KIND OF REHABILITATION HE NEEDS IS REALLY NOT THE HOSPITAL TYPE, BUT RATHER THE GOD TYPE BECAUSE HIS BODY, MIND AND SOUL NEEDS TO BE HEALED. SO BE KIND AND SAY A WORD OF PRAYER FOR MAJEK AND ASK GOD TO HELP HIM.
