Brain Jotter, the Nigerian skit maker, has offered to gift Mike ‘Gentleman’ Ejeagha, the ace highlife singer, N2 million.
Tunde Ednut, the celebrity blogger, shared a screenshot of his chat with Jotter via Instagram on Sunday, wherein the content creator announced the offer.
In the chat, the skit maker requested a way to reach the highlife legend, adding that he would like to give him the money.
“Master we wan give the man N2m, na to reach am be wahala,” the chat reads.
‘Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche’, a song by Ejeagha, started to gain widespread popularity earlier this month after Jotter adopted the soundtrack for his hilarious dance moves.
The dance moves involve two or more people facing opposite directions and walking towards each other. They then meet at a point where they do the funny leg dance before one starts chasing after the other while a part of the chorus “Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo” is played in the background.
Jotter’s first clip of the project, which was shared on Instagram on July 5, has fetched nearly one million likes — as of July 21. Similar footage posted on TikTok has been viewed over 16 million times.
The song has also been recreated nearly 20,000 times on TikTok with many Nigerians, including celebrities, joining the challenge.
Ejeagha is considered one of the pioneers of the highlife genre in Nigeria and was influential in the evolution of music in the Igbo language for over 6 decades.
