They are rich, famous and powerful. They are role models for thousands of Ghanaians, especially girls, across the country. But these women have something that sets apart from other woman of their stature: their singleness.
For such powerful women, however, being single is a choice.
Jessica Opare-Saforo
A broadcaster with Accra-based Citi FM, Jessica has 16 years’ experience in broadcasting. She told Graphic Showbiz in 2014 that she was engaged, but did not disclose the identity of her man.
“I don’t believe in celebrities publicly displaying their love-affairs because it attracts attention. If you make your lover known and the relationship doesn’t work out, how do you explain to your admirers? It is better as a celebrity to keep your love affair away from the public because you can never tell who is working against you,” she said.
Lydia Forson
She is an actress, movie producer and women’s activist. She is one of the most sought-after women in Ghana. She told Accra-based Joy FM last year that she had a boyfriend. “I like someone very much and I’m happy,’ she said, adding:
“When you are really crazy about someone, you find yourself thinking about them more, you go the extra mile. It turns to be a little crazy sometimes. I love hard so maybe I’ve done some really crazy, stupid things.”
Doreen Andoh
She is a broadcaster of 20 years with Accra-based Joy FM. Affectionately called the “queen of the airwaves”, she is shockingly still single. Not much is known about her personal life.
