“I don’t think any man that’s meant for me will be scared to approach me” – Dancer Kaffy

• Kaffy expressed her confidence that a man meant for her would not be scared by her success.

• The dancer, who separated from her ex-husband, Joseph Ameh, in January 2022, revealed this during an interview with Punch.

Renowned Nigerian dancer and author, Kafayat Shafau, known as Kaffy, has encouraged men who wish to date her to do so without any sense of intimidation.

Kaffy conveyed her belief that a man destined for her would not be daunted by her achievements.

The dancer, who parted ways with her former husband, Joseph Ameh, in January 2022, made these remarks during an interview with Punch.

She said, “I don’t think any man that is meant for me will be scared to approach me. I believe there are amazing and cool men out there, and those who are mine, will come. I don’t want to have that cliched thinking that men are usually intimidated (by successful women). A man who knows what he wants goes for it.

“As women, God has blessed us so much that with or without men, we can survive and even be successful. But, we also desire companionship and that is good. But, it is not a do-or-die affair. I know my value as a woman more now than ever before. Any man who has me is blessed.”

Kaffy also maintained that she was not bitter over the separation from her ex-husband. She said, “It’s just that two people are no longer in agreement. I have grown out of it. Yes, I know what was wrongly done to me; but, I don’t want to look at things from the perspective of him being bad and me being good. If something is not working, one should let it go, especially because there are children involved. If my mind does not work well, how would I raise better children?

“The more important thing is for parents to be involved in the lives of their children, whether or not they are married. But, that is one thing the world is struggling to understand. People are more worried about the union than the quality of the relationship people are forming within it.”
