Despite the publicity that his job as a music promoter has exposed him to, he still loves to keep it real and simple. He was a force to reckon with in the US and relocated back to Nigeria to do some private business. In one of his interviews with this medium, he stated why he relocated to Nigeria.
“You see, they say East, West, North or South, home is the best. I see travelling abroad as survival. Most people who travel go there for greener pastures. They make use of the better part of what they had over there; education, stability and the rest of it. You could plan abroad, here in Nigeria is very difficult. So what now brought me back home? I have my children in America up till now. But when you are doing good in any business, you would really want to come back home and establish. I am not the type that wants to live all my life abroad. I enjoy going there now for holidays, to check on my children and come back.
Then age is no more on anybody’s side. My first kid that I had in the U.S. is going to 30 years old now. So I just felt with what I have been able to acquire, I will do better back in Nigeria and touch some souls. That was the main reason why I came back”. It will interest you to know that his first wife, sola was also instrumental to his popular business name, Dudu Heritage, he also stated.
”I wanted to set up an African store in the United States of America. So I was thinking of what I could call it, My wife then suggested that why don’t we put our native language in front of the heritage as earlier noted, ‘Dudu Heritage’. So that was how the name came about”.
