Maje Fashek - I didn't Go To Rehab For Drugs, I Went Out Of Frustration But Nigerian Media Over-flogged It'


Recently rehabilitated music veteran, Majek Fashek has blamed the Nigerian media for publicising his rehabilitation and down times.

On Linda Ikeji's interview, Majek said, 'the truth is I never used cocaine because it's very expensive. but when I came back to Nigeria, the media really helped me but the made a mistake by narrating my whole story to the public. Everything shouldn't have been in the press'.

He continued to say, 'In Los Angeles, all those movie stars you see go to rehab everyday but it's not always in the news, so nobody should have known I went to rehab so the press made a mistake by reporting it because it negatively affects the income for the artists and brings down his reputation in the music industry. There's a lot of good things my songs are doing in the world, in America and other places but the media don't report those things'.

My songs from about 30 years ago still get airplay in America and I still get royalties but the media ignores this, It's unfair. Going to rehab is not a crime, they want to spoil my business because when corporate bodies hear things like that they believe I'm on drugs and they won't endorse me, but I'm a believer of Jesus Christ. I didn't go to rehab for drugs I went out of frustration'. The singer added.
Convince yourself that you can be great without knowing anything about greatness. Truly believe that you are only valuable just as what you own.

It's rather a sport day over LG election in some parts of Lagos

I would rather play ball or any other sport in the rain than join a voting queue! In the ongoing Local Government Elections in Lagos State, it was seen that most part of the state engaged them selves in sport activities instead of queuing up to cast their vote as expected. To these ones, politicians comes with big megaphones making promises of a brighter future etc but the truth is they generally perceived as bunch of greedy individuals who seek governmental power in a bid to enrich their pockets rather than exercise the power positively for the development of the country. Once the power is attain, they choose to deliberately forget the promises they made to during campaign. Somewhere around Ipaja Lagos, the apathy is big enough to swallow a whale. You will find NBA wannabes and young boys playing street soccer. They would rather use the curfew on commercial activities to kick some ball and catch up with old friends. Guess where they are doing that? Sport centres and
