In his words, "All I know, without REMEDIES, there won't be Nigerian music industry of today.


Prior to remedies, Nigerians were only singing reggae(RAS KIMONO, MANDATORS, EVI EDNA, ORITS WILIKI, etc) or we were singing highlife (OLIVER D COK, BRIGHT CHIMEZIE, etc) or JUJU MUSIC (SIR SHINA PETERS, PASUMA WONDER, KOLINTON, BARRISTER, SALAWA ABENI, etc) These were Nigerian kind of music, and then we listened to American Hip-hop, rap, RnB, etc.


But all kudos to KENNIS MUSIC and REMEDIES, for daring into the Nigerian hip-hop that was widely accepted by Nigerians. Then PLANTATION BOYS copy suit. 


Many of you were small children and didn't know of this truth.


Without IDRIS ABDULKARIM, EDDIE REMEDY and TONY TETUILA, there would not have been the Nigerian music industry of today.


GIVE HONOUR TO WHOM HONOUR IS DUE."
