Olamide, being one of the main trendsetters, picked the Shaku Shaku dance trend with his song ‘Science Student.’ Although Shaku Shaku dance can be performed to the accompaniment of any good pop song with a lively rhythm, none of celebrities was acknowledged the creator.

The name “Shaku Shaku” was probably set after Dammy Krane’s song, but the street originates on the streets of Agege, vibrant neighborhood of Lagos with restless retail markets, major roads, and strong street culture.
