RACHEL ONIGA TOTALLY YAHOOZED

It may be necessary to start imagining what some elderly men and women do in their closet. Can you imagine what legendary Rachel Oniga did at the Nollywood night? Immediately it was announced that the hip-hop star, Olu Maintain, was going to thrill the audience, the matronly Oniga started something that set the whole hall on fire.

Those who are familiar with Maintain's hit track, Yahooze's dance steps would get the gist right. The dance shows someone looking up, expecting to grab something nice, probably dollars or orange or even apples. Others do their own by trying to fake an imaginary make-up in front of a mirror. That was how Oniga started on her chair, but when it was like the space was too small for her, she was on the stage.

How she was able to do that in a split second, remained a mystery to the audience. Trust women, a handful of them joined and before you could say jack, the whole hall was in dance commotion. Maintain, who was so excited getting Oniga on the dancehall, took time to tutor the elderly actress some of the dance steps to the delight of all. It was obvious that the elderly and matronly Rachel is young at heart and was properly yahoozed.
