WHAT I COULD FIND ON THEM
Eddie Remedy was invited, some years ago, to the studios of Raypower FM to come sing some of his songs. He went with two of his friends, Tony and Idris. When they got there, they were introduced as ‘‘the group’’ and the threesome sang some songs, all composed by Eddie. Thereafter, they were asked, “What’s the name of the group?” and Eddie, deemed to be the leader of the group, responded simply, “The remedies”. They took their cue from there, and they rolled off beautiful ballads, one of which was ‘Omode Meta Shere’, with Idris (now Eedris Abdulkareem) the rapper, Tony Tetuila the (sideliner and rhyme maker) and Eddie Remedy himself, the melodymaker. They rode into the limelight on the back of Kennis music,the label owned by the Ogungbe brothers and Dayo Adeneye. They later broke up and went on to solo careers.
