"looku looku" - a Nigerian pidgin slang referring to someone who stares/looks too much. The song talks about her love who has a wandering eyes and stares at every woman that passes or moves his way. It's an emotional (painful) and comedic song at the same time. She tells her lover that one day, his eyes and neck would break or turn from turning back to stare too much.

Its so fascinating of the similarities between the nigerian/african dialect similarities to the creole and patois of the carribean. We also have a term in Jamaican patois called "licky licky" which is more of somebody thats greedy lol but it could be used in the same context that you guys use that verbiage.
