“Jigan Baba Oja is now an Uber driver in America” – Actor Ijebu shares his shocking discovery in new video
  • Ijebu stirred up a whirlwind of reactions from colleagues and fans after sharing a viral video of an unexpected encounter with Jigan Baba Oja in the U.S., catching him in a whole new light outside the acting scene.
  • After ordering an innocent Uber ride, Ijebu was left in complete disbelief when the driver turned out to be none other than Jigan himself, sitting behind the wheel.
  • Amused by the twist of fate, Ijebu didn’t hesitate to capture the hilarious moment, teasing Jigan during the ride and sharing the fun with his followers.

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.

The video, with its mix of humor, shock, and camaraderie, ignited a wave of reactions online, with many wondering whether the entire scene was staged or a genuine glimpse into the lives of these beloved actors.
