‘Gwogwogwom-gwo’ Highlife Legend, Mike Ejeagha Dies At 95
Nigeria has lost one of its most revered musical icons as highlife legend, Mike Ejeagha, popularly known as “Gentleman Mike Ejeagha”, passed away on Friday night at the age of 95.
His death was confirmed by his first son, Emmanuel Ejeagha, who told reporters on Saturday that the musician died around 8 p.m. at the 32 Garrison Military Hospital in Enugu after a prolonged illness.
“My father passed away due to a long-standing ailment,” Emmanuel said solemnly, marking the end of an era in Nigeria’s cultural and musical history.
Born on April 4, 1930, in Imezi Owa, Ezeagu Local Government Area of Enugu State, Ejeagha rose to national prominence between the 1960s and 1980s.

He was celebrated for his unique blend of Igbo folklore and highlife music, with hits such as “Omekagu,” “Uwa Mgbede Ka Mma,” and the classic “Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche – Gwogwogwom.”
Ejeagha’s contributions to music went far beyond entertainment. He was a custodian of Igbo oral traditions, using storytelling in his lyrics to educate and preserve indigenous knowledge.
His work includes over 300 recorded songs, many of which are archived at the National Archives of Nigeria, serving as both musical and cultural records.
Remarkably, his music found new life in 2024 when a viral social media dance challenge based on his 1983 track “Ka Esi Le Onye Isi Oche” captured the imagination of a new generation, making him an unlikely digital sensation.
Ejeagha’s passing is being mourned across the country, with tributes pouring in from fans, musicians, and cultural institutions. Many have described him as a “musical philosopher” whose compositions blended wit, wisdom, and traditional values.
Though the curtain has fallen on a legend, Mike Ejeagha’s legacy will continue to live on through his timeless songs and the cultural impact he leaves behind.

Regina Daniels Did Not Reconcile With Ned Nwoko — Mother Clarifies
Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has not reconciled with her estranged husband, Delta North Senator Ned Nwoko, her mother, Rita Daniels, has clarified.
Rita made the clarification after Regina’s recent visit to Nwoko’s residence sparked widespread speculation on social media that the estranged couple may have settled their differences.
According to her mother, Regina visited the senator’s residence solely because she was invited to see her children, and the visit should not be interpreted as a reunion between the two.

“It is well, my dear. She was invited to see her children; that was what happened. Thanks a lot for your support and concern,” Rita said during an Instagram conversation with actor Uche Maduagwu.
The visit came months after the highly publicised marital crisis between Regina and Nwoko, during which both parties made allegations against each other.
Nwoko had accused the actress of drug addiction and alleged that she damaged his property. Regina, on the other hand, accused the lawmaker of creating a false narrative aimed at damaging her reputation and alleged that he had attempted to isolate her from her loved ones.
Regina had also claimed that her relationship with Nwoko was never legally formalised.
Visit sparks fresh speculation
The controversy resurfaced after a video of Regina at Nwoko’s residence circulated online.
Her appearance triggered mixed reactions from Nigerians and some celebrities who had previously supported her during the marital crisis.
While some social media users concluded that the actress had reconciled with the senator, others speculated that she was pregnant with his child.
The development also drew a reaction from actor Stanley “Stanley Ontop” Ajemba, who had publicly supported Regina during the dispute. Ajemba questioned her decision to return to Nwoko’s residence and expressed frustration that she had not informed him about the visit.
He subsequently said he would no longer intervene in disputes involving the estranged couple.
Rita’s latest clarification is consistent with an earlier statement by Regina’s sister, Destiny Daniels, who said the actress had been permitted to visit her children and remained single.
Destiny also dismissed pregnancy speculation, saying changes in Regina’s appearance were due to weight gain.
Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko held their traditional marriage ceremony in Aniocha Local Government Area of Delta State on May 26, 2019..
They have two sons, Munir, born in 2020, and Khalifa, born in 2022.
For now, Regina’s mother maintains that the actress’s visit was about seeing her children and did not signify a reconciliation with the senator.

VDM said he wanted to see those who previously criticised him return to make posts about the latest development, recalling that he had been insulted and accused of hating women.
He also questioned claims that Regina Daniels returned because of her children.
“Some are saying she only went back because of her children. Didn’t she see the children when she left? Why didn’t she care so much about them then?”
The social media commentator further questioned whether Regina would have returned if Ned Nwoko were not a wealthy man.
“If Ned Nwoko Were A Poor Man, Would She Come Back?”
VDM also suggested that Regina may have returned after realising that life outside the marriage was not what she expected.
“She Saw That There Was Nothing Outside, That’s Why She Came Back.”
In another post accompanying his reaction, Otse wrote: “As seen on social media Regina Daniels is back home to SEN NED NWOKO… or rather PA NED according to emotional Nigerians then.”
However, the report of Regina Daniels’ return has not been independently confirmed by the actress or Ned Nwoko.
