Veteran singer Eldee The Don has revealed that his father played a key role in bringing the internet to Nigeria.
According to the artiste, his father set up the first cyber cafe in Lagos and provided internet services to major oil companies and government agencies.
Eldee shared that his early exposure to technology gave him a unique advantage in the music industry.
Speaking on the Adesope Live show, he said:
“Thankfully, I had a dad who was in technology. My dad was a pioneer in his own space as well.
“That man [my Dad] was the first person to connect Nigeria to the internet. This is something people argue about because they don’t know his name. He wasn’t that guy who wanted to put himself out there.
“The very first cyber cafe in Lagos was set up by my dad. The very first connection for Mobil, CBN and government agencies, my dad was doing all of that.
"At that time, we had access to technology that wasn’t really available. So having all of that, I had a studio in our house where the music is being produced.”
