About Mike Ejeagha's song 'Onye Isi Oche'
According to Boom Play, the song, 'Onye Isi Oche' was released in Mike's 'Akuko Na Egwu' album in 1983.
The song, which has recently captured the attention of young people, tells the story of a cunning tortoise who took an elephant to his in-laws and traded it for a princess he wanted to marry.
Popular comedian Brain Jotter used the song for one of his funny dance moves, and many people began to do the same on TikTok.
Speaking to Legit.ng on the topic, Charles Ogbu, an activist and journalist who visits Mike Ejeagaha monthly, said it is good that people are paying the legend a visit.
He said he does not think it is clout-chasing, noting that the age singer deserves the homage being paid to him.
His words:
"I don’t believe the people visiting him are chasing clout. I think they are simply paying homage to a man they consider a legendary figure. And of course, the donations are people’s way of appreciating and celebrating him for impacting positively on their lives."
