The audience could not stop
laughing as Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo showed that he is up to date with
developments in the entertainment sector.
At a dinner organised to
commemorate Nigeria’s 59th independence anniversary, the VP displayed his
knowledge of contemporary dance steps in the country.
Naming them one by one at the
event which held at Aso Rock, Nigeria’s number two citizen sent the audience
into gales of laughter and applause.
“One of the attributes of the
Nigerian people is the uniquely confident way we stand out- what many call the
Nigerian swag,” he said.
“With dance, whether it is
Skelewu, Shakitibobo, Shaku-Shaku or Zanku, every Nigerian can dance and where
necessary ‘Gbe body e’.
“From Skelewu to
‘Sekem’…’Skelewu’ to ‘Shakiti bobo’ to ‘Shakushaku’ and the most recent,
‘Zanku’. I am sure you all know how to ‘gbese …gbe body e’. So all over the
world, everybody is ‘gbeseing’ now.
“Nobody dances like us, it
doesn’t matter whether you are the distinguish senator representing Kogi-west
or the distinguish senator representing Osun-west, nobody dances like us.”

The VP also talked about some
children in a kindergarten class in China were learning the Igbo language.
In the second video, the kids were
seen reciting numbers in Igbo.
“The Nigerian spirit is
indomitable and our languages are taught in countries around the world,” he
said.

Social media users have commented
on the videos, describing Osinbajo as a VP who understands the “language of the
street”.
