The renowned Nigerian dancer, Kaffy Shafau, has sparked a massive conversation online regarding the breakdown of her marriage to Joseph Ameh.
In a deeply personal sit-down with Chude Jideonwo, the mother of two admitted that she entered into the union without a true grasp of what matrimonial commitment actually entails.
Despite her success on the global stage, she confessed that her personal life faced hurdles because she lacked the foundational knowledge required for a lifelong partnership.
According to the choreography icon, most people rely on the marriage advice they observe from their parents, but she argues that "living through their eyes" is a poor substitute for formal preparation.
She believes that modern society has made the process of obtaining a marriage certificate dangerously simple, especially when compared to the strict requirements for a driver’s license.
Kaffy suggests that since the family unit is where the ills of society are often born, the barrier to entry should be much higher to protect the mental health of the couple and any future children.
