MESSAGE TO THE GREAT BEYOND. Dear Majek, thank you for blessing us with your prophesies, your messages and your spirit. As you journey to the great beyond, help us beg Uwa to forgive us. Tell her that if her blood cries for vengeance, it will follow offsprings who had no hand in the matter. Tell her that her predators will know no peace till they confess and pay. Please tell Tina that it was a trigger happy cop that shot her to death. She’s been asking why she’s in heaven and how she got there. Because she only remembers she was on her way home. Tell her he has been arrested but it may not stop another shooting. We live in fear. Please tell MLK that over 50 years after he died, his America is witnessing the type of riots that sprang up when he was killed. Please tell Fela that everything he said still remains relevant till today. His message is still a stimulant for the struggle for the common man. Please send our greetings to Ras Kimono, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Gani Fawehinmi, Ojukwu, Lucky Dube, 2pac, Steve Biko, Ernesto Che Guevara, Kudirat, Isaac Boro, Bob Marley, Nelson Mandela and all other freedom fighters in the great beyond. Lastly, help me stroll to the chapel, find my mama. You will know her from her smile. Give her a warm embrace from me! Thank you baba Majek! You live on in our hearts.
