Yoruba actor and comedian Olatayo Amotade, popularly known as Ijebu, was left speechless after encountering his colleague Jigan Baba Oja working as an Uber driver in America.
Ijebu captured the unexpected moment on video, showing himself in a car with Jigan Baba Oja and fellow actor Soji Taiwo, known as Omo Banke. In the footage, Ijebu jokingly asks Jigan Baba Oja why he switched careers from acting to driving Uber.
