Kaffy Shafau, a well-known dancer from Nigeria, has revealed the reasons why her marriage failed, claiming she didn’t fully understand what it entailed.
In an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Kaffy, who divorced Joseph Ameh in January 2022, discussed her experience.
She said: “I was not educated enough for marriage and a lot of us aren’t, our parents are not preparing us enough, living through their eyes is not enough education about marriage.
“It is a special course that needs to be taken, we can’t have a society that issues you marriage certificate easier than drivers license like it’s harder to get the drivers license but it’s much easier to get a marriage certificate but it’s inside this home that all the ills of the society are being built.
“There’s a lot of mental health situations and assessments that needs to go on.Its not only counselling that they should do. They should do mental evaluation of the couple.
“It should be a mandatory requirement that drug test, mental evaluation, couples therapy, all of these things, there need to be a one year programme of human behavioural sciences that they need to go before two people come and damage another human being that they would bring to life.”
