Renowned Yoruba actor and comedian, Olatayo Amotade, better known as Ijebu, has sparked an online frenzy after an unbelievable encounter that left him speechless.
In a video posted on Instagram by the comic movie star, Ijebu, alongside fellow actor Soji Taiwo, was seen in utter shock when he discovered his longtime colleague, Jigan Baba Oja, moonlighting as an Uber driver in the United States.
Ijebu, who was enjoying a casual ride, could barely contain his disbelief as he realized that the man behind the wheel, guiding them through the bustling streets of America, was none other than Jigan—an actor who, up until now, was better known for his comedic roles in Nigerian cinema.
With eyes wide and laughter barely concealed, Ijebu expressed his shock, openly admitting that he had no clue Jigan had started this unexpected hustle.
But Jigan, ever the sport, responded coolly, revealing that this was no overnight gig. According to him, he had been driving for a while now, quietly navigating this side hustle while balancing life away from the cameras.
Jigan, phone in hand, confidently drove Ijebu, Soji Taiwo to their destination, using his Android phone as his GPS.
