Musical Artiste,Mofe Boyo says Nigeria Dancers Deserves Better Treatment

IN an attempt to improve the life of Nigerian creative industry

practitioners, especially dancers and choreographers, fast-rising

Nigerian Afro hip-hop sensation, Mofe Boyo, has lent her voice to

the recent movement by some elite entertainers on the ill-

treatment endured by dancers in the country.

According to the talented artiste who recently shot some videos

from her yet to be released an album, “just like so many young

people I love dancing even more as a form of art. I knew dancers

work a lot but I never knew they invest and work this much. They

deserve to be highly recognized and rewarded like everybody else

in the entertainment sector for their investment in the arts.”

Mofe explained further, “Artistes are paid millions of Naira and

these artistes employ dancers as staff but what I would like to see

is record companies and brands signing dancers as talents and

brand ambassadors respectively. Without dancers, artists’

performance will be gloomy and lifeless. Kaffy is undoubtedly

Nigeria’s greatest dance icon but in my opinion, she is still very

under appreciated.”

“Dance still remains a part of showbiz that has not comparatively

developed like music, comedy, acting and the likes. I really want

to see this sector grow, let us see how we can create

opportunities and indulge our hardworking youths. We can make

this a platform of success for so many young people.” She said.

Mofe Boyo remains one of the shining lights in the Afrobeat and

Afro-hip-hop genres. She has released a couple of singles and is

scheduled to launch her anticipated album soon.
