Alusa likes people who are ‘detailed’ and who have a good sense of humour,

because he likes to laugh. He doesn’t enjoy people who ‘emit negative energy’.

He entered Big Brother Hotshots for the exposure, as well as the intrigue of living

with total strangers in a closed environment and the desire to share his lifestyle with

a huge audience. Alusa is looking forward to having the continent watching him: ‘I’m

an artist, a performer, so I love attention. I’m not in the least bit intimidated, in fact,

I’m thrilled’

Alusa lists Mombasa and his village of Kakamega as his favourite places in Kenya,

because they’re both very exotic in their ways and rich culture. He says the best

thing about Africa is the people. ‘Africans are both beautiful in form and diverse

culture,’ he says. Outside of Africa, his favourite place is Brazil. ‘Rich culture,

beautiful women, sweet samba music, festivals, food – I could go on and on,’ he

says.

hardest working woman I know’. Butterphly says he draws influence from ‘all sorts

of people’. ‘Ordinary, young, dead, legends – in everyone’s life story I try to extract

Nigerian folklore music legend, Gentleman Mike Ejeagha, has taken social media by storm as his timeless highlife song, “Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo”, has sparked a viral dance challenge among content creators and celebrities worldwide.

The dance moves appear to have become a challenge, with many people creating versions of it after popular comedian and content creator, Brain Jotter, pioneered the challenge.

The decades-old song has experienced a remarkable resurgence on TikTok and other social media platforms.

The song’s deep meaning and rich representation of Igbo culture have resonated with today’s generation, propelling it to viral status.

A global competition has emerged, with users showcasing their creativity and talent using the song.

Social media users including celebrities have continued to jump on the dance move, “Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo”.

Super Falcons’ star and FC Bay footballer, Asisat Oshoala, and some teammates, in an Instagram post, were seen making the dance moves after they touched down in Bordeaux before the opening ceremony of the 2024 Olympics.

Former Big Brother Naija housemate and actor, Tobi Bakre, also took to the dance challenge with his wife.

Other celebrities, Nollywood actors, dancers, comedians, entertainers, content creators have also jumped on the latest dance trend.

NAN reports that this unexpected boost has brought Gentleman Mike Ejeagha’s 41-year-old song back into the spotlight.

Mike Ejeagha is now 93 years old and he released the song in 1983.

The song is an enchanting Igbo folklore tune that narrates the story of Enyi (the elephant) and Mbe (the tortoise).

In this tale, the cunning tortoise outsmarts the powerful elephant and sells him to the king, there by securing the hand of the princess in marriage.

The tortoise is a recurrent figure in Igbo folklore, often depicted as clever and shrewd.

The song’s catchy chorus, “Enyi Na Aga, Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo,” reflects the tortoise’s triumphant deceit as he leads the Elephant to the king.

NAN also reports that well-meaning Nigerians are paying homage to Mike Ejeagha in his house, he has been receiving cash gifts.

Unconfirmed reports suggested that Brain Jotter gifted him cash and a car.

The skit has become Brain Jotter’s most viewed video on Instagram, amassing an impressive four million likes and 500,000 comments.

Popular songstress, Tiwa Savage has disclosed that Olamide rejected N100 million for a verse in her song.

Tiwa in a post on her Instagram page on Wednesday, explained that Olamide, the owner of the YBNL record label, rejected the money after his management billed her.

She noted that Olamide didn’t charge her because of his knowledge of the hardships that female artistes face in the music industry.

Speaking on their sibling-like bond, Tiwa appreciated the rapper for exhibiting his helpful and caring personality towards her.

“I was talking to his management, I did not want to talk to him directly because he would want to do it for free. I was willing to pay and his team charged me N100m. When Olamide asked them who the artiste was, he just said NO. He won’t take it.

“He said I’m his sister and he knows how difficult it is for a woman to make it in the industry. And guess what? He gave the verse for free. Good people exist and Baddo is one,” she said.
