Nigerian highlife legend, Gentleman Mike Ejeagha, reportedly passed away on Friday evening at 95.
Known for his profound contributions to Igbo folk music, Ejeagha’s legacy spans over six decades.
His 1983 hit, “Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche,” aka ‘Gwo Gwo Gwo Ngwo’, recently gained renewed popularity through a viral dance challenge by comedian Brian Jotter, bringing his music back into the spotlight.
In September 2024, Enugu State Governor Peter Mbah honoured Ejeagha by renaming Obinagu Road in Abakpa Nike to Mike Ejeagha Road, acknowledging his significant impact on Nigerian music and culture.
