Why Are These Nigerian Soldiers Dancing "Your Waist" (Etighi) ?

Npak Eto!, Figure eight o!

These troops were pictured sweating it out to some external stereo, booming Iyanya's monster hit - "Your waist" and doing a very good job of the etighi dance step too. Iyanya had better watch out before these guys (especially the dude in the middle) put him out of business  These gallant soldiers of ours are based in Mali, following the tradition of helping to beat back rebels and fundamentalists in the West African sub-region. Our boys are among the best ground forces in Africa and have over the years, contributed above their quota to ECOMOG and now as part of UN coalition forces.

Its not clear if they are dancing because they heard of the death of Boko Haram leader, Abubakar Shekau, they got paid today (friday) or they just felt like it. Whatever it is, these guys have earned the right to boogie every once in a while.

Big up to "Africa's Finest" Infantry keeping the peace !!
