Promise Kept: My Friend Majek Fashek And I

By Richie Adewusi

When Richie Adewusi met Majek Fashek in mid-1987, he had no idea that their paths would intertwine for decades to come. At the time, Richie was a young publisher, fresh from National Youth Service, navigating the challenges of running a nationally distributed magazine in Nigeria, Just It Magazine in Lagos, Nigeria. His interview with Majek Fashek, then an emerging music sensation, sparked a deep connection that would endure through the highs and lows of fame, fortune, and personal struggles.

Majek, one of Nigeria's most iconic and globally recognized entertainers of the 80s and 90s, eventually asked Richie to write his story should Majek pass away first-a promise made at Richie Adewusi's Changeville, a Training and Conference Centre in September 2012 in Ado-Ekiti Nigeria, as Majek went visiting Richie Adewusi.

In 1989, Richie wrote Majek Fashek: TRAILBLAZER , the first and only in-depth book about Majek Fashek before PROMISE KEPT. Now, this second and final volume of PROMISE KEPT: My Friend Majek Fashek And I brings the journey to a close-delivering the full truth about the life, struggles, and untold final days of Majek Fashek.

This compelling conclusion goes even deeper, uncovering secrets, exposing betrayals, and answering the questions that many have long asked. For years, speculations surrounded Majek Fashek's decline and ultimate death. This book finally reveals what really killed Majek Fashek.

This book also explores:
✔ The hidden forces that contributed to Majek Fashek's decline-was it just addiction to drugs, or something more sinister?
✔ Shocking truths about those who surrounded him in his final days-and whether they truly had his best interests at heart.
✔ The fake spirituality in the Nigerian churches, especially the Pentecostal movement-how the so-called "men of God" exploit Christians who trust them, resulting in the so - called men of God exploiting them through manipulations for their own selfish gains which have nothing to do with the Word of God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, but selfishness and avarice.
✔ The role of religion, false friends, and industry politics in shaping Majek's later years.
✔ The marriage issues Majek Fashek had warned Richie about long before they unfolded-an eerie prophecy come true.
✔ The author's experience over Changeville, a place of creative, entrepreneurial, and developmental empowerment that was later unjustly taken from him due to envy and avarice.
✔ The corruption and exploitation that exist not just in entertainment, but in society at large.

With a foreword by Professor d l jẹ́gẹ́dẹ́, Ph.D., this book delivers the raw, unfiltered truth behind one of Nigeria's greatest musical icons.
