It is unlikely that former Joy FM and Radio XYZ presenter, Nana Yaa Agyare would be familiar with Shabba Ranks old-school reggae song that goes: I'm in love with a man, nearly twice my age, Don't know what it is, but it�s a hit from me youthful days, As I go my way, I don't care what people say, I'm in love with a man, nearly twice my age. Certainly, however, her husband-to-be, ace radio broadcaster Tommy Annan Forson must have played that song one time or the other on radio. In a few weeks, that song will come to life when Tommy ties the knot with his sweetheart, thirty-something year old Nana Yaa. It was Tommy himself who dropped the hint at the maiden DJ Awards held last week in Accra. When he walked onto the stage to receive a Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to the development of radio and music in the country, Tommy couldn�t hide his joy of finding a new love and dedicated the award to her. The announcement drew loud cheers from the crowd indicating their excitement about the latest news in town but after all the cheers, one question that remained on the lips of many was �who�s this lady who has �arrested� the heart of the broadcasting idol? Though many expected the woman who in few weeks would earn the title of �Mrs Annan Forson� to be of his age or almost of his age, the opposite turned out to be the case when a young lady in her mid thirties who was sitting next to him waved her hand as a sign of acceptance. Later Nana Yaa told Showbiz that love is not influenced by age, or race, or colour or size. �Marriage is based on the understanding and compatibility between both parties remarking that, �age will not be a factor if you both know the reason for being in the relationship�.
