Our Destinies Do Not Align – Dancer Kaffy On Separation From Husband.

Published

on

Kafayat Shafau, also known as Kaffy, a Nigerian celebrity dancer, has spoken up about her divorce from her spouse, Joseph Ameh.

Marriage, she believed, should be an alignment of destinies, but this was not the case in her marriage.

On Monday night, the mother-of-two mentioned this in a video on her Instagram page that was a clip from her new podcast.

Divorce or separation, according to Kaffy, should not be toxic or bitter.

“Marriage is supposed to be an alignment of destinies leading to a place God wishes for them,” she explained. And it didn’t work out that way for me.

“Rather than seeing someone as a problem, consider the possibility that you are that person’s problem.”

“Being an enabler of someone’s not being able to do what they are supposed to do can also be that you’re not supposed to be in that space.

“So there was a lot to learn and there’s still a lot more to learn.”

In the video caption, the dancer stated that separation was not the end of life for the parties involved.

“Separation isn’t the end of life for both parties involved. In fact, if you both are honest about why you have to go apart, you will realize how much better life can be,” she wrote.

The dancer added, “Some people make it back, some don’t . What is ultimate is the outcome borne out of love!”

Kaffy was married to Joseph Ameh, the music director and former drummer for Nigerian duo P-Square and they have two children together.

“Twin Warrior”: Paul Okoye Accuses Peter Of Song Theft, Vows To Release ‘Original Version’

Published

on

Paul ‘Rudeboy’ Okoye, the Nigerian singer, has accused Peter ‘Mr P’ Okoye, his twin brother, of alleged intellectual property theft.

Mr P recently released the single ‘Winning’ — just a few months after the brothers confirmed that Psquare, their shared music group, was no longer active.

However, in a recent Instagram post, Rudeboy claimed that the song was his, stating that it was meant to feature on his upcoming album. He further alleged that the producer hijacked the track.

“Written and sang by Rudeboy. Produced by same producer. Now how come? Now am I supposed to release another version? Mr Producer, your case is for another day,” he wrote.

“Just a simple thing, bring 6 songs, let me bring 6 songs. I submitted 6 songs to the so-called management. Why re-singing my own song? word for word. Song that was supposed to be in my album next year June.”

In another post, the singer vowed to release “original versions of any copied songs,” adding that “the days of manipulation are over.”

“The days of manipulation are over. And to the management, make I hear any song wey na only me sing, I go release the original version. Oloriburuku! Music is not that hard,” he wrote.

Psquare split in 2017 following a feud between Peter Okoye and Paul. Though they reunited in November 2021, their reconciliation was short-lived.

Paul recently revealed another fallout, accusing Peter of orchestrating his arrest by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

Peter, however, denied the allegations and accused Jude Okoye, their older brother, of diverting millions of dollars from their joint account into a secret company.

Paul also expressed frustration over his past role in the music group. He claimed to have done most of the work while others benefited.

Mr P has yet to respond to his brother’s recent allegations.

UPDATE: Bobrisky Finally Departs Nigeria After Two Failed Attempts

Published

on

Bobrisky, a social media celebrity crossdresser, has finally travelled out of Nigeria after two failed attempts.

Last Thursday, the crossdresser was re-arrested by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) officials while attempting to leave Nigeria. A video shared on Instagram showed airport officials dragging him off the plane.

The commission also confirmed his rearrest. Last Friday, Dele Oyewale, EFCC spokesperson, said that Bobrisky was taken into custody to assist in investigating bribery allegations against the agency.

“It is just for him to come and establish the basis and write a statement to that effect and he will be released,” Oyewale had said.

On Monday, the social media celebrity took to his Instagram stories to share videos of herself on a plane.

Though he did not disclose his destination, he boasted about “purchasing first-class tickets three times, totaling over N30 million”.

“See you soon, Nigeria. This girl bought a first-class ticket three times; that’s over 30 million. Raise the bar for this girl,” he wrote.

The crossdresser has been in the eye of the storm since activist VeryDarkMan shared a purported audio conversation wherein she claimed that she paid some EFCC officials N15 million to drop money laundering charges against her.

Bobrisky denied the recording’s authenticity and threatened legal action against VeryDarkMan.

The social media celebrity was also arrested at the Seme border a few weeks ago for allegedly attempting to flee the country.

The crossdresser, the EFCC, and the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCS) are under investigation by a house of representatives committee over bribery allegations.

The National Council for Arts and Culture (NCAC) also recently condemned the lifestyle of Bobrisky.
