Some Nigerians, however, argued Brainjotter's N2m donation was too small and doesn't justify using Mike Ejeagba's song without his consent.
Amid the donation, more people have also visited the ace singer. In a trending clip, the 94-year-old singer was seen using walking aids due to his limited mobility.
The Gwo Gwo Ngwo dance challenge has been trending on social media for some days. Legit.ng previously reported that Super Falcons striker Asisat Oshoala jumped on it.
This is not the first time Brainjotter will make the headlines. The skit maker is renowned for his comic videos and philanthropic activities.
Legit.ng had reported how the skit maker helped pay for the surgery of a woman suffering from skin ulcers.
