Business mogul, Femi Otedola, has promised to pick up the medical bills of Majekodunmi Fashekunola, popularly known as Majek Fashek.
The ‘Rainmaker’ crooner has been bedridden for months in a London hospital, where he is allegedly, to suffering from Schrizonphrenia.
According to his manager, Uzoma Omenka, Majek is unable to talk and cannot eat.
Omenka said he has spent over N36 million since the reggae star’s hospitalization. He sent a save-our-soul appeal to Nigerians to assist in raising funds for Majek to continue his treatment.
With the billionaire business man, Otedola, set to pick the bills, this will be a huge relief to Omenka and Majek.
Otedola’s philanthropic gesture cannot go unnoticed, as he had earlier spent a whopping N36,635,000 for the medical bills of former captain and coach of the Super Eagles, Christian Chukwu.

In May, Otedola also came to the aid of Peter Fregene, a former Green Eagles goalkeeper, who had been bedridden since 2001.
He is currently footing the medical bills of popular actor, Victor Olaotan, a lead character in the popular TV soap opera series, Tinsel, in a Turkish hospital.
Otedola has also reportedly taken up the medical expenses of ailing Nollywood actor, Sadiq Daba.
In 2017, Sadiq Daba, who had been battling leukemia and prostate cancer since the past few years, returned to Nigeria from the UK where he went for medical treatment. The ace broadcaster revealed that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in November 2017. This was barely months after he was hospitalised due to leukemia.
