Veteran Nigerian singer, Gentleman Mike Ejeagha gets emotional following the buzz around a song he released in 2010 courtesy of skit maker, Brain Jotter.
The highlife song, ‘Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche‘ was released 14 years ago and undoubtedly lost in history until it was exhumed some days ago.
It all started when the famous content creator and actor, Brain Jotter used it in one of his skits, creating a dance move synchronous to the music sound.
On Instagram, the first video made by the skitmaker with Gentleman Mike Ejeagha’s song hit the highest views, garnering a whooping 659,000 likes while on Tiktok over 11 million views.
The music alongside Brain Jotter’s dance has since gone viral and is seen across Nigeria and also used in some Asian countries.
Since the song went viral, some content creators have paid homage to Mike Ejeagha as seen in a video where the aged man broke down in tears.
The man was presented with an envelope by a Tiktoker, @anyigoldtv supposedly containing money while being informed of the achievement of his new song.
It was an emotional moment for the highlight singer who rained prayers and appreciated the effort of being contacted.
