After picking up a silver and a bronze medal at the Olympic Games in Los Angeles , Nigeria failed to win any medal at the Games in Seoul four years later.

Also in this year, Fela Anikulapo-Kuti hadn't released an album in three years, and one of his most mesmerising songs 'Beasts of No Nation' wouldn't come out until a year later.

The classic Nigerian song was a part of Majek Fashek 's debut album 'Prisoner of Conscience' released in the same year. Legend has it that at the height of popularity of this song, it rained heavily in Nigeria. Some say Nigeria had not experienced such an amount of rainfall in a while. According to the report by K.

I released Send Down The Rain, everywhere that song was played, rain must fall. I released Free Mandela and that month Mandela was released. I did fire Majek Beware the week that record was released was the week the Rodney King incident happened.

That song, Fire o! Fire o! So, are you that naive? Whether you are a believer or not, one thing is certain, no song in Nigerian history has been mythologized as 'Send Down the Rain'. The composer himself is as legendary as the biggest Nigerian music legends.

Majek Fashek is a legacy act in Nigeria. Millennials know his name and his evergreen song is as famous as 'Sweet Mother' and 'One Love', immensely popular Nigerian evergreens.

Then, he was with The Punch Newspapers, running Saturday Highlife —— a page that became very popular among readers due to its gossip columns. With many years on the beat, Azuka Jebose Molokwu played major role in the career of most young Nigerian musicians, who trooped in and out his office, seeking media publicity, which they most times got.

So, when Molokwu speaks about any Nigerian artiste, be rest assured you are listening to a very reliable source. He was briefly at The Guardian and we got talking. Along the line, the condition of top Nigerian Reggae artiste, Majek Fashek, came up; Molokwu had known Majek back in the day. I was a young reporter then, going round for stories and we met there. We later became friends and he would come around The Punch. Leveraging on the popularity he garnered performing at the shrine, Majek got a contract from Tabansi Records, which saw the release of his album, Prisoners of Conscience, the work that brought him to limelight.

As a bosom friend, Molokwu never ceased to pave way for Majek, who at a point, went into oblivion, until in when he returned with Little Patience, produced by Charles Novia of November Records.

Charles and I met; at that time, Thisday Music Festival was around the corner. After three days, an e-mail was sent to me, inviting Majek on the show.
