However, days after the show aired the first season, Annie came out to claim that a lot had been edited out to just focus on her marriage. According to her, her four-month stay in South Africa was not just about her marriage. She announced that she went there to work, insinuating that everything else was secondary to her.
“So many great scenes were taken out of the show… like soooooo many! At the end of the day Hmm. I didn’t go to SA for four months to plan a wedding I went there for work! I was working my b*t off every single day in Johannesburg. Was hosting a lot of gigs there too. Did a lot of shoot covers, radio/TV interviews. Most importantly to also start my household essentials cleaning company there in Johannesburg. Which will be launching here in Nigeria soon too,” she wrote.
Claiming that she has had to work 10 times harder to gain recognition on merit, Annie went on to point the fingers at the producers of the show, claiming they edited out key parts.
“So, when I said in my introduction that I have to do the work 10 times harder and more to be acknowledged and given credit because I am married to this man who has been very big, internationally known and successful for over two decades, this is what I was talking about,” she added.
