The “Dabbing” Palaver -By Sunday O. Oladepo

Life is fun. Life is beautiful. It is a collection of historic moments and memories.

Before, it was “AWILO” and I could remember those days dancing the “makossa” beat of Awilo.

Daddy Showkey brought “GALALA” and it enjoyed a massive play. Sadly, I still don’t know how to dance “Galala” till date. Just can’t break my legs for a dance! Lol.

“YAHOOZEE” later evolved and everybody was swinging two fingers on air. Olu-Maintain invented the craze. I think I joined, too. Lol.

One Ghana dude brought “AZONTO”. Dancing “Azonto” is like practicing Kung-Fu. Wizkid popularized the song in Nigeria with a Remix. I tried but didn’t get the dance-steps!

It wasn’t long before “KUKERE” evolved. A very odd dance! People were bouncing their butts as if they were wrapped inside nylons.

The popular “SHAKITI-BOBO” dance was invented by Olamide. You raise up a leg while displaying some sorts of wackiness with the other. I have a little kid that does that even when she is fast asleep. Lol.

“SHOKI” was the trailblazer for the whole of 2015 and the first-quarter of this year. I don’t even know how to describe this dance. An imbecilic form of dance! Having a to-and-fro drunkard movement with a palm-plastered eye.

The latest craze now is “DABBING”. This is everywhere, and therefore demands no description. You know it!

PS: When next you see some people dabbing here and there. From offline to online. From Facebook to Instagram. Don’t blame them. It is a short-time malady! Some of us were once in that shoe.
