If anyone had told Nigerian skit maker Brain Jotter, that a song ‘Gwo Gwo Gwo’ released as far back as 1983 would give him one of his biggest skit, perhaps, he would have called it a bluff.
While Nigerians prepare for the mass protest set to hold in August, Brain Jotter was busy thinking of ways to cash out from his millions of followers.
His followers need contents, and contents they will get.
Putting his creative mind to work, the skit maker decided to spice his viral dance move with a 41-year-old classic by 93-year-old Pa Gentle Mike Ejeagha.
Not only did Brain Jotter craft a viral dance, but he successfully revived the long forgotten song.
Gwo Gwo Gwo Dance Challenge
As we speak, the ‘Gwo Gwo Gwo’ dance challenge is gaining heavy attention as many people, including celebrities are jumping on it.
In just few hours of its release, the Gwo Gwo Gwo skit garnered over 11 million views for Brain Jotter.
Such milestone is rare for creators, in fact, many creators pray so hard for such.
Let’s not forget that views translate to money.
Now imagine how much Brain Jotter would have made from the hit skit, perhaps he would have made other creator’s monthly earnings with just one skit, and most interestingly, in hours.
Equal Split
Nigerians are well aware of this fact, hence, even after gifting the Gwo Gwo Gwo singer the sum of 2 million naira, many Nigerians still dragged Brain Jotter.

According to them, 2 million naira is not enough for the 93-year-old singer.
Many others have even called for a partnership between Pa Mike and Brain Jotter.
To these people, an equal split of royalties would even the odds.
