A dance pattern commonly associated with Ijaw women of southern Nigeria has raised suggestions of the tribeswomen being among the possible propagators of twerking.
Twerking as a dance is done by bending the knee, thrusting the buttocks out, and shaking them rapidly to shake vigorously.
À dance video which shows Ijaw women performing to their local music with a similar dance step has raised such ideas that they may be among the earlier performers of the erotic dance step.
Netizens from different parts of Africa have argued about the originality of the song with the Ijaws, stating that other tribes in Africa have similar dances.
