Comedian Chukwuebuka Emmanuel Amuzie, popularly known as Brain Jotter, has visited highlife legend Mike Ejeagha at his home following the massive success of a viral dance video set to Ejeagha’s 1983 hit song, “Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche.”
The song, which tells the story of a tortoise outsmarting an elephant, has gained new life thanks to Brain Jotter’s humorous skit, which has sparked a viral dance challenge.
Brain Jotter’s visit was a gesture of appreciation for Ejeagha’s contribution to Nigerian music. The comedian shared a photo from the visit on Instagram, expressing his joy and promising to share the story behind the visit soon. Ejeagha was overwhelmed with emotion, thanking Brain Jotter for reviving his song and making it trend again after over 30 years.
Addressing concerns about profiting from the song, Brain Jotter clarified that no money was made from the viral video and that all revenue generated from Ejeagha’s music goes back to him, his record label, and production company. Brain Jotter and his team also donated 2 million naira to Ejeagha and his family to support the musician and his loved ones.
