Music legend Mike Ejeagha, at the impressive age of 94, has achieved a remarkable milestone by entering Apple’s Top 100 Songs chart, 41 years after the release of his iconic track.

The song, Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche, is a traditional Igbo folklore that tells the story of an elephant and a tortoise released 41 years ago. It becomes the oldest song of all time to appear on the charts.

The resurgence of Ejeagha’s song is largely thanks to Nigerian comedian Brainjotter, who created a viral dance routine that brought new attention to the classic track.

The dance quickly caught on, leading to a renewed interest in Ejeagha’s music.

Adding a personal touch to this success, Brainjotter visited Mike Ejeagha to celebrate the achievement and showed his appreciation by presenting the legend with a generous cash gift of 2 million naira.

This heartwarming story not only highlights the enduring appeal of Ejeagha’s music but also demonstrates the power of modern social media to revive and celebrate timeless art.

As the song continues to gain popularity, it’s clear that Mike Ejeagha’s legacy remains strong and influential.
