EXCLUSIVE: How I Inspired Other Dancers - Kaffy
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.
