Shocker! My dad co-wrote National Anthem but never got credit – Veteran singer, Eddy Remedy

Edward Ashiedu Brown, also known as Eddy Remedy, is a seasoned vocalist and former member of The Remedies. He has stated that his father was one of the writers of the Nigerian national song.

He claimed that although his father, former police officer Ashiedu Brown, was a member of the Nigeria Police Band that wrote the national song, all the credit went to the band’s director, Benedict Elise Odiase.

The seasoned vocalist mentioned that, as of now, his father has not received any recognition for his work on the national song.

Eddy Remedy claimed his father’s sad experience made him oppose his son’s musical career because he believed that he would never be rewarded by Nigeria.

Speaking in a recent interview with Daddy Freeze, Eddy Remedy said, “Now I understand why my dad didn’t want me to do music. Because they did the same thing to him. My Dad was among those who wrote the national anthem. But what did he get? Did they give him any recognition? Instead, they gave all the credit to his boss, [Benedict] Odiase, who was the commissioner of Police then,” he lamented
