Styl Plus Splits At Last

Finally, finally, the long awaited Abuja based R&B singers, one of the hit-makers in the Nigerian music scene in 2003 when they released two hits, "Olufunmi" and "Runaway" make up of Shifi Omoefe, Zeal Onyecheme and Tunde Akinsanmi have finally parted way to pursue solo careers.

Shifi, Tunde and Zeal first met at the Federal University of Technology, Akure, where their friendship started and was likened to America’s Boys 2 Men.
But their slide began with their obstinate refusal to relocate to Lagos, the nerve-centre of entertainment. This would be compounded by a poor second album, ‘Back and Better’ which saw the ratings of the group drop dramatically.
Tunde has made his debut as a solo artiste with the single, ‘In Your Eyes’ changed his stage name to Native Boy, and has also established his own record label, B.A.T Records.
The group’s 11-track debut album, ‘Expressions’ was released in February 2006, but only two cuts, ‘Imagine That’ and ‘Iya Basira’ were hits. Later, there were speculations that Styl Plus was on the verge of breaking up, but they debunked it in a follow up single, ‘Four Years.’
