Majek's Problem Beyond Drugs, It's Spiritual, Says Orits Wiliki

One of Nigeria's living reggae icons, Rassam Wiliki popularly called Orits Wiliki, has revealed that Majek Fashek's problem has nothing to with alcohol or drug abuse as is widely believed.

The reggae singer, who is part of efforts to rehabilitate the Nigerian reggae legend, in an interview with The SUN, attributed the "send down the rain" singer's problems to spiritual forces.

Speaking on why he decided to get involved in the campaign to save Majek, the self-acclaimed Koleman revolutionaire said: "It is sad that Majek Fashek found himself in that kind of situation. That is why we are not throwing him away. I have promised myself that I will not discuss most of the things we are doing on the pages of newspapers. We have done a lot before now but we just need to take it to the next level. If you have been monitoring it on facebook, there is a page created christened 'Majek Fashek family'. It was put together by Monica, the lady in the United States who was one of his backup singers. Every issue about saving Majek Fashek is discussed on that platform. A website has also been opened where donation can be made towards helping him. What we intend to do is to raise enough money and put him in rehab".

When asked to comment on speculations that Majek Fashek’s problem has to do with his drug abuse over the years, Orits Wiliki said "His problem is beyond drugs; it is spiritual. Sometimes, if you have a one-on-one conversation with him, he would discuss with you as if nothing was wrong with him".

The "conqueror" singer, however, proffered what he considered to be the solution to Majek's drug addiction. "I also think part of the problems is that he is not engaged. You know, an idle mind is the devil's workshop. If we put him in rehab and he finds something doing after he is okay, Majek will be well 100 per cent I can assure you. Even in his present condition, he still maintains the same aura on stage that he had when he was the rave. I believe that if he is busy going on music tours, there will be no problem", he opined.

Majek Fashek Needs Rehabilitation Support Charly Boy Rallies

Nigerians, for the past weeks has been speaking about the ailing health condition of veteran Reggae singer Majek Fashek. This has however touched area father and key industry personality to wade into the matter as Charlie Boy has pledged to support the ailing icon Majek Fashek.

Charlie Boy, who spoke to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), in Abuja today said Majek Fashek was an iconic artiste who should not be left in his present terrible condition. “The worst thing we can do is stand and watch when we see someone struggling in agony, especially when their pain is self-inflicted”. Majek Fashek is our own; let’s see how we can heal our rain maker who needs all the love and understanding he can get right now. I know quite a few well-meaning Nigerians have contributed to his rehabilitation, but I still encourage others to help see the healing of this great musician become a reality. It is our collective effort to help rehabilitate him as a social responsibility of fighting this hard drug menace that is wasting so many of our youths,” he said.

“I remember this very handsome man with a good heart and we had worked together a long time ago at the start of his beautiful but truncated music career. He is a multi- talented artiste of international repute, whose hit rendition `Send down the Rain’ still does exactly that anytime it is played- sending the shivers down our spines” He further said that, It used to be my favorite song from his album, and till today, I can sing his lyrics many years after. He brewed that song right in my studio in Oguta, in the seven months he spent with me there as an in-house producer. He was so promising, so full of dreams that it breaks my heart to see him so degenerated and entirely disconnected today,” he cried out.
