Talented Ghanaian actress and comedian, Valentina Nana Agyeiwaa now known as "The Original Afia Schwarzenegger", has stated in an exclusive interview with Peacefmonline.com that true and natural talent can never be bought from a shop.

Valentina who has been swapped as the lead character in the hit TV series, ‘Afia Schwarzenegger’ with Emmeleine Nanahemaa Acheampong, the co-host of Adom FM’s Entertainment Program; Adom Billboard, said if something is yours no matter how long it takes or how many obstacles come your way, it will always remain yours.

When Peacefmonline.com asked her how she feels about the new character in the TV series, she said “Yes! I hear there is a new ‘whatever’ in town but let me say this - you can’t buy talent from the shop like a tin of milk or a story book - Natural talent is God given and if you have it nobody can take it away from you”.

Valentina disclosed to Peacefmonline.com that she is producing her own Television series titled “The Original Afia Schwarzenegger” which is expected to be on TV very soon. She also revealed that she is going to use a star dog in the series called “Cocaine” among other new characters.

“So if I start showing my program Ghanaians will be the ultimate judges as to whom the real Afia Schwarzenegger is and who acts better”. According to her, she has already shot over five episodes and is still on set shooting more.

The actress and comedian is now the host of Happy FM’s Drive Time show, “Ayekoo”, which is filling the airwaves with her funny and interesting antics every day from 2.30pm to 4pm.

Fitting right into the Happy FM family, Afia explains that “the decision to join Happy FM was an effortless one. “If i am doing something - I prove to whoever employed me that I can really do the work I have been asked to do. It is not about the money, it’s about the passion and commitment I have for what I do”. “It is a unique station which gives me the opportunity to be versatile; interacting with my fans and listeners on an entertainment platform every single day. I want to perpetuate the happiness and entertainment the station’s fans enjoy every day. I am thrilled to be here!” she said in an interview.

As the only female drive time presenter in Accra, Afia will be competing with the seasoned voices of her male counterparts for listener’s attention.

Seemingly on the winning path, the newl presenter of less than a month has mitigated a significant rise of members on the Happy FM fan page on various social media sites. Before her Happy FM appointment Afia was the host an interactive program on Hitz FM titled “You Say Way Tin”.
