Dancer, Kaffy Marries

Nigeria’s famous fire dancer and choreographer, Kafayat Oluwatosin Shafau, otherwise known as Kaffy, will finally walk down the aisle with her heartthrob and father of her child, Joseph Adakole Ameh, on Saturday, 2 June, 2012.

The strictly-by-invitation nuptial, which is expected to parade celebrities from different parts of the country, will hold at Bespoke Centre, Lekki-Epe Expressway, Lagos. The traditional engagement ceremony will hold earlier that day at the same venue.

While Kaffy has established herself as a dancer and Guinness Book of Records title holder, Joseph, fondly called Papi J, is a versatile drummer and music producer. He is also one of the band members of Paul and Peter Okoye (P Square).

In a chat with P.M Entertainment, Kaffy, who has also made her debut as a singer, described the marriage as a welcome development and a day she can’t wait to see.

“Definitely, every lady would be happy to get married to a man of her dream, and mine is not an exemption. We have been courting for a while and I can tell that he is a unique personality,” said Kaffy.

Kaffy and Joseph are already blessed with a baby boy, Sean Oluwatosin Ameh. She was delivered of the baby at County Hospital, Ogba, Lagos, on 28 December last year.

Even when Kaffy was pregnant, she was still very active performing with her group at events. On 30 July, 2011 when she was four months pregnant, she performed actively at P Square’s Invasion Concert held at the Expo Hall of Eko Hotel and Suites.

Few days to the day of her delivery, Kaffy also performed on stage with her group at the finals of the MTN Project Fame West Africa Season 4.
