Charly Boy Drums Support For Majek Fashek

Indeed it seems the time is now right for Majek Fashek to
get help. Just after CLAM pastor on Sunday asked that the singer be bought to
his church for deliverance, Charly Boy today while speaking to journalists
begged them to support his dream of rehabilitating the rain maker. Charly Boy
said it is beyond sad to see such a talent waste on and something must be done
now about it. Below is what he said.

“The worst thing we can do is stand and watch when we see
someone struggling in agony, especially when their pain is self inflicted. “It
is no longer news that the rain maker is a sorry shadow of himself plagued by
issues larger than his self discipline.

“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.

“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.

“Looking at him now, I say to myself, it could have been me
or any of us. Some people are not so lucky to imbibe self discipline for things
that are destructive to them, however, that doesn’t necessarily make those of
us better human beings for being able to.

“I know it can be a huge heartache watching someone you love
struggle with an addiction or have a mental illness but the good news is that
it is curable. When we show more love as parents, friends, associates, spouses,
brothers or sisters, we help the people going through this struggle feel good
about themselves,” he said.
