Midnight Crew on why music groups split

Nigerian gospel group Nigerian gospel group

In a couple of months, popular music group ‘Midnight Crew‘ will celebrate it’s 15th year anniversary.

Looking back at how it all began, the group’s spokesperson Mike Abdul, in a recent interview with Punch narrated how it all began and how they almost broke in 2005.

In his words, ‘Sometime in 2005, we felt that we had spent four years together and things were looking tight and difficult for us. We decided that we should do something about it by letting everybody go. We called a meeting which was meant to disband the group but as God would have it, we found ourselves praying and after the prayer session, we did not discuss about disbanding the group but making it better.

God helped us. Imagine if we had disbanded Midnight Crew in 2005, we did not know that we were going to receive a song that would make the whole nation proud in 2008. Igwe was released seven years after we formed Midnight Crew’.
