A trending video has captured the funny and surprising moment popular Nigerian skit maker Emmanuel Chukwuemeka Ejekwu, popularly known as Sabinus, came face-to-face with his striking lookalike.
The encounter took place at a recent event, where the Port Harcourt-born comedian was introduced to a man who looked almost exactly like him — from facial features to signature style.
The lookalike not only sported Sabinus’s iconic blue shirt but also matched his signature hairstyle, leaving the comedian stunned when they met.
Clearly shocked by the resemblance, Sabinus couldn’t hold back his reaction as he exclaimed,
“Holy Ghost fire!”
The doppelganger held a placard with Sabinus’s face, welcoming him to Sierra Leone, and the pair shared a cheerful handshake. In a playful tone, Sabinus joked that his “other self” looked like he had been suffering, sending the crowd into laughter.
Reports suggest the lookalike is also a comedian who imitates Sabinus’s style and mannerisms in his own content.
The internet has been buzzing over the uncanny resemblance, with many social media users commenting that the duo could easily pass as twins.
This isn’t the first time celebrity lookalikes have gained attention online — similar moments have occurred with fans impersonating stars like Davido and Wizkid, often copying their fashion, hairstyles, and even mannerisms.
