Ebenezer Obey describes late Majek Fashek as humble, creative musician

Legendary Juju Musician, Ebenezer Obey on Wednesday said that the late Reggae musical icon, Majekodunmi Fasheke popularly known as “Majek Fashek” was a humble and creative musician.
Obey told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Lagos that the reggae maestro’s death was a painful one, leaving behind a huge vacuum to be filled in the entertainment industry.
Majek Fashek died in New York on June 1, at 57.
Obey said that Fashek was always fond of removing his cap and genuflecting to greet him, which exemplified a humble man.
” I commiserate with the family of Majek Fashek, and pray that the Lord will take care of the family he left behind.
” Nigeria has lost a very talented musician; the reggae musical world has lost one of its greatest musicians.
” I know him to be a very creative and humble man who always genuflect to greet me whenever he sees me, he is always calling me ‘Baba’.
” There is nothing we can do because death is inevitable, I pray that the Lord will be with the family and console them: may his soul rest in peace,” he said.
Obey urged the Federal Government to ensure Fashek’s works and times were properly documented in order to ensure he is recognised in the history of Nigeria.
He said the late reggae musician deserved to be honoured because he had contributed to the growth of the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Fashek, a Nigerian singer, songwriter and guitarist, was best known for his 1988 album ” Prisoner of Conscience” which includes the multiple award-winning single “Send Down the Rain”.
He was also known as ‘The Rainmaker’ and worked with various notable artistes worldwide. (NAN)
