DEATH LOOMS IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY



Just few weeks back, the music industry mourned the death of Tolu Maintain’s wife and Iyanya’s only brother. The wife of another budding artiste- Lanre Fakeye popularly known as Shakomended now has 19 days left to spend on the surface of the earth if something urgent is not done to salvage the situation.
Shakomended’s wife is 27 years old mother of one who requires an urgent kidney transplant which will gulp about six million naira (N6, 000,000).
According to the medical report made available to this blog and signed by Dr M.O Mabayoje, a consultant Physician and Nephrologist of Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Mrs Fakeye was referred to the hospital in December, 2005 for uncontrollable severe 20 Hypertension. He stated further that her condition deteriorated in spite of the treatment and she now suffers from End-Stage Renal Disease. The doctor however recommended that she will need to start maintenance dialysis or have a kidney transplant to remain alive.
The most painful part of this development is that little amount has been raised out of the six million naira required to save the life of the young lady. However, the friends of Shakomended are putting up a charity show to raise some money. Artistes like J-Martins, Timaya, Eldee Da Don, AY.Com and few others have indicated their interests to be part of the show. The artiste has also been soliciting support from well wishers to help save the life of his dear wife.
Shakomended is also the Business Development Manager of Premier Records.
