It’s over 40 years after it was recorded, ‘Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche‘, a hit by Mike Ejeagha, the ace Nigerian highlife singer, is one of the hottest songs on social media.
The hit song ‘Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche’ was released in 1983 as one of the tracks from Ejeagha’s ‘Akuko N’Egwu Vol. 1‘ album. The song is a tale of how an elephant was tricked by a cunning tortoise and used as a gift to a king in exchange for his daughter’s hand in marriage.
Meanwhile, the song started to gain widespread popularity earlier this month, after Brain Jotter, the skit maker, 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.
