She shared her thoughts on Instagram, reposting a message from a user reflecting on identity, motherhood, and personal growth.

Annie emphasized that her priority is staying alive, authentic, and free for her children, rather than being defined by marriage. Her goal is to create a nurturing environment where her children can flourish, highlighting that her own peace, joy, and stability directly impact their well-being.

Rejecting the stereotypes often associated with single motherhood, she dismissed narratives of struggle, limitation, and mere survival. Instead, she framed her journey as one of legacy, empowerment, and emotional balance.

She wrote:
*”I’m not a single mom. I’m a single woman raising two kids. My children don’t need me married. They need me alive. They need me true. They need me free. I’m a woman rising, and two beautiful souls rise with me. My peace brings them peace, my joy brings them joy, and my radiance creates their safety.

My kids get to watch me grow, to watch me rise, to see a woman rebuilding her world with joy, not bitterness. That is the greatest gift I’ll ever give them. Being a ‘single mom’ comes with a story society wrote for us: overwhelmed, struggling, limited, surviving. That’s not my story.”*

Her statement comes months after her separation from singer 2Baba in January 2025. The couple, who share two children, have moved forward independently while their divorce is yet to be finalized.

Since then, Annie has focused on self-care and personal growth, attending wellness retreats in Qatar, Singapore, and Cape Town, and regularly sharing reflections on healing, self-worth, and empowerment.

Speaking on a recent episode of the Afropolitan podcast, the 36-year-old explained how unreliable electricity continues to hinder the country’s creative sector. He noted that when inspiration strikes but there is no power, valuable creative energy is often lost.

Sarz said that despite being born and raised in Nigeria, he has never experienced a full 24 hours of uninterrupted electricity. According to him, there are moments he wakes up inspired to make music but cannot work due to a power outage. At times, even getting fuel for generators becomes difficult because of strikes or scarcity, leaving projects stalled and creative potential wasted.

He stressed that creatives need the right environment to perform at their best, adding that inadequate infrastructure poses serious challenges when artists are mentally ready to produce.

The producer concluded that for Nigeria’s entertainment industry to reach greater heights, stronger infrastructure support is essential, as current limitations continue to restrict growth.

Some of the revived posts referenced children at her mother’s daycare and were interpreted by certain users as inappropriate. The controversy sparked widespread criticism online, with some calling for further scrutiny.

Amid the discussions, several Nigerian public figures who have previously shared their experiences as survivors of sexual abuse have once again come into focus. Below are some celebrities who have publicly opened up about their ordeals:

1. Oluwadolarz

The comedian, whose real name is Olamide Ogunleye, recently recounted in an Instagram video that he was abused at the age of six by a female neighbour. He said the experience lasted about a year and deeply affected him, explaining that he was too young to fully understand what was happening at the time. He added that the trauma later impacted different aspects of his life.

2. Foluke Daramola

The Nollywood actress revealed during a 2013 interview that she was raped at 17 by a tenant in her parents’ house. She explained that the incident left her emotionally withdrawn and, over time, affected her first marriage. She also spoke about the culture of victim-blaming she faced after the assault.

3. Ifu Ennada

The former Big Brother Naija housemate disclosed in 2018 that she was sexually assaulted by someone in the entertainment industry. She shared that the experience led to depression and emotional distress, noting that she had been a virgin before the incident and struggled with fear and stigma afterward.

4. Lola Omotayo-Okoye

Lola Omotayo-Okoye, wife of Peter Okoye of P-Square, spoke publicly in 2014 about being molested by a Catholic priest during her teenage years. She said the experience caused deep emotional pain and left her carrying guilt and bitterness for many years before she eventually found healing.

5. Oyemykke

Media personality Abisoye Olukoya Michael, popularly known as Oyemykke, has also shared that he experienced sexual abuse during childhood. He stated that the trauma had long-term emotional effects and that he continues to seek professional support to cope with the impact.

These testimonies have contributed to ongoing conversations about sexual abuse awareness, survivor support, and the importance of speaking out against abuse in society.
