My take on the Gwo gwo ngwo challenge and the 2 million naira saga between Brain Jotter and Mike Ejeagha.
1. We should be grateful to Brain Jotter and his team for creating such a trend. We should also applaud them for the creativity they added to that song, making it go viral. It’s not easy to make a post dancing to just a part of a song and create a trend that even celebrities are jumping on.
2. I have come to the realization that once you are above people, no matter what you do, those who don’t like you will always want to bring you down to their level. People who don't like you are looking for opportunities like this. So to brain jotter this is normal. How many creators has come out to applaud him for such trend that has lasted for more than two weeks now.
3. Brain Jotter offering Mike Ejeagha 2 million naira isn’t that bad to me. At least he offered something. Yes, he made money from the song, but saying 2 million naira is small—come on, be realistic. If we want more we all can contribute whatever have an add to it in show of appreciation.
4. Some people who are saying that nobody knew the song "Gwo Gwo Ngwo" before Brain Jotter made a skit with it are probably kids. Because if you were born in the '90s or even the '80s, you would know that song rocked our airwaves in the southeastern part of Nigeria. That song was our flavor, wicked and Timaya of our time then. The song was released in 1983, and it trended back then for close to 20 years. It’s still fresh in my memory to this date.
5. I wouldn’t say much about the copyright claims on the song since that’s not my field, but Brain Jotter should be applauded for reviving the song because somehow it seems the song had been forgotten. Imagine a song song 1983 trending in 2024 that's something to be proud of.
6. Why would a 92-year-old Mike be taking legal action over a song he sang over two decades ago? The man has aged. What would he even gain. Biko let's stop the legal law suits abeg and allow this man enjoy his ending stage of his life in peace. Imagine making a 92 sick year old man go to court haba na.
7. Do we think Brain Jotter, with all his exposure, doesn’t have a team of lawyers who can advise him on the implications of using someone’s intellectual work? Think about it: you can't get so popular to that extent and not have a team of lawyers who can give you advice. So the young man knows what he is doing; that's why he isn't flinching.
8. Instead of creating problems where there are none, why not learn one or two things from this Brain Jotter guy? Me I learnt alot ooo.
9. Most of the creators shouting that 2 million naira is small are just unhappy they aren’t the ones who created such a trend. I keep saying it: creativity wins. Get your own team to think and explore different opportunities. Brain jotter take your flowers abegn
10. And lastly, I am against infringing on people’s intellectual work, and people who own songs and artwork should be compensated duly. Do your due diligence before jumping on trends. Infringing on people’s work can even send you to jail or make you pay heavy fines.
We can't make Brain Jotter pay more than he has, but I wish him and his team can also go and see Mike Ejeagha and pay homage to the legend.
