Brain Jotter, the Nigerian skit maker, has offered to gift Mike ‘Gentleman’ Ejeagha, the renowned highlife singer, N2 million.
Tunde Ednut, the celebrity blogger, shared a screenshot of his chat with Jotter on Instagram on Sunday, in which the content creator announced the offer.
In the chat, the skit maker requested a way to contact the highlife legend, stating his intention to give him the money.
“Master, we want to give the man N2m, but reaching him is the problem,” the chat reads.
‘Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche’, a song by Ejeagha, began gaining 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 a funny leg dance before one starts chasing the other while part of the chorus “Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo” plays in the background.
Jotter’s first clip of the project, shared on Instagram on July 5, has garnered 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 has been influential in the evolution of music in the Igbo language for over six decades.
