“This book is a page turner from beginning to end. The stories are both relatable, and hysterical, with dead on advice that make you go hmmmm” - Karim Orange, Eco activist/ Huffington Post Blogger “Abdul Majid’s Ignorance is Contagious is vividly alive with great stories, plenty of laughs, and hard-won life lessons. Young people will learn from it, and so will their parents.” -Ronald K. Fried, author of “My Father’s Fighter” “Sometimes wisdom comes from the most unlikely and humorous of places” —Amy Linden, Arts Critic “Like its author, Ignorance is Contagious is profane, funny and heartfelt. This is a memorable collection of modern-day fables that are real and shed light on how we live today.” —Rodney Stringfellow, Screenwriter and Educator “ABDUL MAJID is able to capture the spoken word in writing. His writing style is natural with flow and above all his wit is wise.” —Emily Cohen, Television Producer “Fresh, innovative, enlightening, and (what I love most) comical . . . .

One such player was Paul Nixon, who is literally as mad as a badger. But if he's
on your side, the hours of entertainment he can provide are priceless. 'Nico' was
a livewire behind the stumps, full of energy, never stopped talking and cajoling
and encouraging other players; but when you talk as much as he does, inevitably
a lot of it becomes just noise and that is what got under the skin of opposition
batsmen. They never understood just how he could keep going morning, noon
