EXCLUSIVE: How I Inspired Other Dancers - Kaffy

EXCLUSIVE: How I Inspired Other Dancers - Kaffy

Kaffy is a Nigerian dancer, choreographer, dance instructor and fitness coach. She is the founder and owner of Imagneto Dance Company and is best known for breaking the Guinness World Records for the Longest Dance Party at the Nokia Silverbird Danceathon in 2006. She has been a judge and mentor on several dance and music reality shows including MTN Project Fame. In this interview with williamz, she talked about her latest gig as a judge on TV show Dance with Peter, among other things.

Tell us more about Dance with Peter?
Dance with Peter to me is like a dream come true because I would have done it on my own but when Peter walked up to me and mentioned it, then we worked on it together. We embarked on the project because I have noticed that in Nigeria people like to take all the glory to themselves forgetting those that assisted them, so instead of allowing Peter to do his own thing while I do mine, I decided to give it more value by forming a strong team to make it a success.

Would you say dancing has given you so much fame?
I just had the faith that whatever I decided to become in life would be important to me and the people around me. And it’s the importance to people around me that has made me famous. It was not because I tried to be popular but because I communicate or try to maintain a direct contact with people who practically do what I have done with them. It was not a conscious effort to be the most popular girl in town but it was part of my destiny. From when I was a child, I have always represented my school at debates, Red Cross, jet club to inter-house sports. So, it’s nature that is taking its own course in my life.

My lesbian story— Yvonne Nelson

My lesbian story— Yvonne Nelson

My interview with top Ghanaian actress – Yvonne Nelson-was a revelation in so many ways. Of the leading Nollywood stars, Yvonne is among those I had not had a close relationship with.

I had watched her from afar, seen countless number of her movies and had always thought she was a great and talented actress – someone who combined poise, beauty and style. I had also heard of some unsavory things ascribed to her – the rumors of sexual orientation which some say verged between pure lesbianism and bi-sexualism – all manner of shenanigans that had been whispered and published about her.

Some years ago, she came out with a movie, “Heart of Men”, in which she seemed to have appeared in frontal nudity– a development that set off a firestorm of protest among Nollywood lovers –with many condemning the exploitation of graphic sexual images to promote and sell movies – which was a deviation of what Nollywood had always been seen to represent: a family friendly entertainment medium.

Sam Loco Efe: How he died, his unfulfilled dream

The late Sam Loco Efe died apparently sitting on his seat in a hotel room of causes now suspected to be asthma. He was found dead on Sunday morning with ventolin inhalers beside him in the hotel room where he lodged. The room was forced open after he failed to come down after retiring the previous night.

Contrary to reports that he was on location in Owerri, Imo State, Vanguard learnt, Monday, that he was actually in Owerri editing a yet untitled film produced by Bayelsa State born Favour Ogosi.
Former Vice President, Actors Guild of Nigeria (South -East) and a close confidant of the deceased, Mr Steve Eboh, told Vanguard the events that led to the actor’s death.
