Photo: What is M.I Abaga doing

The picture below was taken at the recently held "Star Trek"
concert in festac town.
M.I was called on stage to perform, but before he mounted the
stage for his performance.
The picture below happened, apparently it looked like he was
praying before mounting the stage, or maybe I'm wrong. .
