Nigerian dance queen, Kafayat Shafau, widely known as Kaffy, has opened up about the emotional challenges she faces when it comes to dating as a divorced woman and single mum.
Speaking as a guest on the popular podcast “The Honest Bunch”, Kaffy revealed a heartbreaking encounter where a man bluntly told her he couldn’t be in a relationship with her simply because she has two children.
The award-winning dancer, who divorced her ex-husband Joseph Ameh, shared how society often judges women in her shoes, making love and companionship even harder to find.
‘’I have had someone tell me because I am a single mother he cannot think about dating me because I have two children.’What makes you think a woman that has been divorced is not even the better candidate if she has worked on herself? What is the guarantee that two single people today are not going to be divorced people tomorrow? So why are people feeling like ‘No I need to marry him fresh and I need to marry her fresh?’ Both of you are going into the same data that the world has computed for you that over 70% of marriages crash. You are part of the 70%.” she said
‘’Do you know that a lot of butterflies in the tummy is a trauma response? Real love brings peace not butterflies. Real love is not supposed to make you anxious.”
