Kaffy has shown exceptional strength and charisma, dancing when she was heavily pregnant and getting back into her complex dance routines, heading her affairs after suffering from major groin injury following the birth of her first child.

Personally, I have seen Kaffy a number of times and I have always been star struck, but recently the level of respect has evolved to appreciate the woman she has to become – an amazon. I cheered because a Nigerian woman had done something that put us on the map internationally. I remember when Kaffy broke the Guinness World Record for longest dance party and was the last woman standing. As a result, dancers almost become carriers of emotions, touching and changing lives like the music they hope to interpret.ĭance has come a long way in the Nigerian entertainment industry and so has Kaffy. Most times we understand the lyrics to songs better when they are expressed through dance. Dance is the best interpretation of music, which is food for the soul.
