    Brain Jotter pays tribute to Mike Ejeagha ‘Your melody lives forever’

    Published on

    Comedian Brain Jotter, aka Chukwuebuka Emmanuel, has paid his tribute to highlife legend Mike Ejeagha, whose 1983 classic “gwo gwo ngwo” found new life through a viral social media challenge.

    Ejeagha died on Friday at the age of 95.

    Taking to Instagram on Saturday, Brain Jotter shared a throwback video of the late musician with the caption, “39 years ago, he made magic. 39 years later, we danced to it again. Now, he rests — but his melody lives forever. Rest in peace, legend.”

    Before the singer’s death, the comedian had visited Ejeagha at his Enugu home in July 2024, after his skit — featuring the track Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche — propelled the decades-old song into a viral sensation.

    “Thank you for bringing back my father’s legacy,” Ejeagha’s son had said during the visit. “In over 30 years, this is the most attention his music has received.”

    Brain Jotter and his team also presented a ₦2 million donation to the family in appreciation and support.
