Eldee The Don Reveals How His Father Brought Internet to Nigeria and Shaped His Music Career
Veteran Nigerian musician Eldee The Don recently opened up about his father’s groundbreaking contributions to Nigeria’s digital revolution, revealing that his dad played a pivotal role in introducing the country to the internet.
Eldee shared this insight during an appearance on the Adesope Live show, where he reflected on how his early exposure to technology shaped his career in music.
According to Eldee, his father, though not a public figure, was a technological trailblazer.
He disclosed that his dad was responsible for establishing Nigeria’s very first internet connection.
At a time when the concept of the internet was still new, his father set up the first cyber café in Lagos, providing internet services to major oil companies, financial institutions like the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), and various government agencies.
“People might not know his name because he wasn’t someone who sought the spotlight,” Eldee explained.
“But my dad was the one who made that first connection possible.
He was the person behind the internet access that companies like Mobil and key government agencies relied on.”
Eldee’s father’s pioneering work in technology gave the artist unique advantages growing up.
While most people in Nigeria had limited exposure to the internet in the 1990s, Eldee had early access to cutting-edge technology.
His home was not just a residence; it was a hub of innovation.
He recalled that his father had a studio set up in their house, allowing him to produce music at a time when such facilities were rare.
Nigerian influencer and media personality, Daddy Freeze, speaks on the late actor Alex Ekubo’s service of songs.
He spoke on how the service was conducted and noted that the outfits some people wore did not reflect sadness and could easily be mistaken for attire worn to an event.
“I thought we were mourning a young man who died when it was not yet his time. He died because of Nigeria’s failure and religious influence. I never knew that a service of songs would have a dress code.”
Nigerian DJ and daughter of billionaire, DJ Cuppy, Florence Otedola, speaks on her relationship life and shares the type of man she is not interested in.
The media personality recalled when she dated a Nigerian man who was eager to meet her father, making her feel like she was being used for connections.
“I can never marry a Nigerian. It’s impossible. The last one I dated was asking me when he could meet my dad. I didn’t even think they liked me. My dad doesn’t even care who I marry; he just wants me to get married. That’s why I’m so happy for Temi and Eazi.”
Nigerian actress Patience Ozokwor speaks on her popular role as Mama G and opens up on the purpose of the character.
While the character is popular for being wicked or troublesome and has gained a viral following through memes, many people still love the character.
The actress spoke on it and shared, “I felt bold to expose the ills of society. These things happen, and nobody wants to expose them, so I’m exposing them. So I’m extremely proud of myself and Mama G lovers.”
She shared that the purpose of the character was to expose the bad behaviours in society and not to promote them.
