A re-union is said to be in the offing for Nigeria's pioneer pop group, The Remedies made up of Eedris Abdulkareem, Tony Tetuila and Eddy Montana. The trio ruled the Nigerian music scene in the late 90s, paving the way for the urban music industry Nigeria has today.

In an interview yesterday, Eedris, known as the most vocal member of the group since inception, opened up on what really went wrong with the group which led to its eventual break-up.

'Actually, it was nothing serious and at the same time, it was serious (laughs). We did 29 shows during the Rothmans Groove Tour and the three of us were sharing the money that was paid, and it got to a level where we now looked at each other like 'Omo wetin you dey contribute for this group sef,' it didn't come from me, it was one of the other two.

'Then the next thing that followed was (that) attitude changed and sadly, I was very close to both Eddy and Tony, so one day Tony came to me and complained that he's not cool with everything going on, so I advised him that sooner or later whether he likes it or not, everybody will go solo so (he should) be prepared. I knew it was going to happen so I told him to move closer to Plantashun Boyz and he bought the idea immediately, and immediately we got back to Lagos, they recorded 'Omode Meta.'

'When the song dropped, Eddy came to me and was like have I heard the song and I was like yea, no be so you want am, so na me and you remain now (laughs) and when it was time for us to go solo we went solo.'

The group is now making efforts to come back with a joint album this year, Eedris said, adding: 'We all sat down, talked about our mistakes, faults and we are ready to move on, now we are good and we are working together on a joint album now and it'll drop this year by the grace of God.'
