- Have you ever felt torn between two cultures, wondering where you truly belong? Then join me for this amazing conversation with my first guest, eLDee - the iconic Nigerian musician-turned-American real estate mogul.
Growing up straddling American and Nigerian influences, eLDee shares his fascinating journey of immigrating to the U.S. while his music career was taking off back in Lagos.
From intentionally shifting his base to Nigeria to raise the bar with visuals like being the first to use the RED camera for a music video, to eventually settling more permanently in America, eLDee 's story offers a unique lens into the immigrant experience. He gets candid about grappling with his identity, feeling both Nigerian and American, and hoping to one day help remedy systemic issues in Nigeria through the wisdom gained abroad.
eLDee's life is a powerful example of how our cross-cultural experiences can be assets rather than obstacles.

Eldee the great
This man is so filled with wisdom...
I love listening to him...
Sooo insightful!
Haha I can relate to Dami too. I’ve only spent 10years too and it’s still here and there 😩😭. But I agree with Eldee, so many people in Nigeria don’t know what a “good” society entails/needs and it’s not just the good road or lights. Phewww
I miss his podcast btw
Yes to ‘here and there’ 😅😂
And yes, eLDee made an awesome point there!
