In this interview Anna Banner opens up to Stella Dimoko Korkus about her relationship with Flavour and her decision to be free and move on...
Anna you went on a rant on Saturday and your posted meme suggested your relationship with the father of your child is troubled. Wanna talk about it?
First of all,Flavour and I are no longer together. Secondly,my post has/had nothing to do with flavour. It was just a beautiful write up that made sense to me and i decided to share it with my fans.
(Eyes widened sharp sharp)
You and flavour are no longer together? When did this happen and why? Pardon my asking.
Yes we are no longer together. I made this decision recently. I spoke to myself and decided it was time to move on and focus on my future and career.
Did you convey your decision to him? what was his reaction?
Yes i did.. we are both cool with it.
So Anna why did you decide to become a baby mama when you are so young and have a bright future ahead of you?
I never decided to become a baby mama ,I just fell in love. I fell in love and got pregnant unexpectedly for the man I loved. I had never gotten pregnant before and i was scared of abortion.
I decided to keep my baby no matter what ,i never tried to hold a man down or force marriage on anyone with my pregnancy. You know in life, the hardest decisions always turn out beautiful. I don't regret keeping my baby one bit. She is my greatest achievement in life so far. I fall in love with her every second of the day.
Okay let me ask another question. You knew Sandra Okagbue and Flavour were a couple and that she was even pregnant for him. Why did you nosedive into the relationship with him knowing all these?
I never knew flavour was with another woman while we were dating. We started dating way before 'Golibe was composed'. He never mentioned/admitted he had any relationship ties with anyone even after rumour had it that he was dating someone else and she was even pregnant for him. I believed him.
I confronted him again when i heard she had put to bed and it seemed true. He accepted after much talk but unfortunately i was already pregnant ,never knew i was pregnant until i was one month gone. What was i supposed to do? Take out my precious child? Hell no.I believe God sent her to me for a reason.
So you see, it was never my intention to break anybody's relationship or come in between two lovers. I just never knew. For those of you out there judging and persecuting me for something you know nothing about ,let me ask,Are you better than i am?Is it okay by God for you to Judge me when he has forgiven me all my sins?.
I made an adult decision at a young age and i am so proud of myself for keeping my baby. People always say i am competing/fighting with someone all because of a man . Really? Fighting and competing? Thats too much energy. Seeking for a man's attention is never/ has never been my thing! I'm not done seeking for God and my daughter's attention.
People always refer to me as "husband snatcher" but please, that is not the case.Many of have been victims of love and i am sure we all know that when a woman is deeply in love,she believes everything her man tells her.
I am not a husband snatcher,i was just naive of a lot of things and everyday i ask God to give me wisdom to see well and make the right choices.
Is there some kind of competition between you and Sandra? I noticed the posts on your social media handles kinda suggest that? Has there ever been a confrontation between you two? Please pardon my many questions but I have so many to ask...
No I am not in competition with anyone Stella and no there has been no confrontation and i dont see that happening.
You say you and flavour have broken up, are you both still friends for the sake of the child you have together?
I and flavour are still very good friends. Chinedu is a very nice person with a big heart. We talk about almost everything. I respect him a lot because he is a good person. He has been an awesome father to his child and i respect him for that. He goes extra length to make his daughter happy. He has a beautiful soul.
What are your plans now for the Future?Do you plan to further your Education?
Yes,I plan to go back to School and I plan on a whole lot of things.I wont say my getting pregnant put a set back in my plans because My baby is the best thing that ever happened to me but i have plans to return to school soon.
The future is bright for me...
Do you have any regrets whatsoever?
None whatsoever....God has been Faithful.
Are you a happy person?
Its a 50/50 situation.Most of the times,i am happy,most of the time i am not.Most times i have a lot on my mind and most times i am very happy..I think about what i should have done,what i could have done,what i didnt do right and what i should do right.Its not a permanent feeling and i will be fine.
Thank you for answering all my questions Anna .This interview might go viral and i cannot assure you of what peoples reaction will be but whatever it is ,I pray God gives you the strength to carry on.
Thank you Stella.My mind is free...Love is pain but there is a limit to pain and i choose to walk free.thank you and have a good week.
Iphie: derz nothing better than someone who can criticise herself. It is very refreshing. Something you cant see with naija celebs.
ReplyDeleteMy liking for her doubled.
How many ppl here, even chronicle writers can say "I was naive", "I was deceived". How many can separate their resentment for their deceiver from common sense.
She faulted herself. Faulted flavour. Praised him too.
Bona,
DeleteI share your sentiments too.
She will rise above this,if she is as wise as she sounded in this interview.
I say she's earned a fan in me.
No matter how many anonymous comments pounce on this post,it won't change the fact that this interview changed people's assumptions about her.
Like me some Anna Banner!!!!
That human under anon calling Anna Banner and her mum names...listen i am not Anna Banner nor her mother nor related to her and i have no business with her but it is clear you are a sad, weak, psychotic, retard and a heifer that needs to be checked. how do you sleep? the hate you have in you ll send you to hell real quick if u don't change. if u get mind comot for anon make we see you na.. keep watching this lady grow that's all you going to do for the rest of your very miserable life till you die oo.. faceless Twerp!
ReplyDeleteHaba how people spew so much hate for a human like they are holier..the lady has let go of your guy u still dey insult am and her mama..Your case is worst than Nigerian Economy I swear!
Dear anonymous, u dont sit in d comfort of your home and try to shame me for venting out my pain and frustration. I pray u experience what im passing through so dt u'll know better. U cant just start running ur random conclusions cos u know not what goes on in peoples' homes. And no, i didnt post to gain pity or sympathy, i only vented out my anger and i think it gave me a little bit of relief. Cheers
ReplyDeleteIphie, chinedu wasn't her 1st oh, she isn't as innocent as she sounds, from MI to her manager, just to mention a few, she's really gullible. She's been passed round in the industry just after she become queen
ReplyDeleteI just feel in love with Anna, yes I was among the ppl yabing her before but with this interview all has been cleared, just move on pretty girl you deserve a better man and takecare of your sweet adorable daughter.
ReplyDeleteAwwww! Anna, you are one hell of an intelligent babe. I have never commented on any of the posts concerning you, but this just gladden my heart. You are strong. You are sensible. You are an amazing mom! Infact, this interview made my day. Don't let anyone 'pull' you down because you are on the top.
ReplyDeleteShe has made her account private now...hope she is fine. Dear annie if you are reading this know that this too shall pass. Sending you ehugs.
ReplyDeleteall the interviews u were granting back then denying your relationship with flavour, u were also being asked about Sandra okagbue, nd pictures of them together were shown at hiptv way before you got pregnant, and mind you, you got pregnant two months after Sandra already birthed muna, u just got pregnant to hook flavour so stop making it seem like you were the victim, and quit with the lies ma'am, u knew about Sandra from the beginning, u were just hoping one day you would take over but the plans never worked, the real victim in this case was Sandra and you and flavour owe her an apology.... I'm really glad u took the decision to quit...
ReplyDeleteMrs Korkus, thanks for reaching out to Anna. I know it's not just to carry an exclusive SDK Blog story, but behind the scenes you are playing a big sister, encourage, pick her up, let her cry on your shoulder. My 'respeck ' .Stella. Mentor her as she would allow, thanks .
ReplyDeleteAwwww, Anna sweetheart, just want hug you, that you are going to so so fine. That baby will attract a handsome, good guy 'souled' man that will have abundance of God's bounties to take care of you & your mini me. Keep cherishing the fruit of your womb, always say Lord I thank you for my baby. God loves those who are grateful, so he will shower you with blessings
I don't agree that she didn't know about Sandra , I remember when she posted some pictures on location for the golibe video . Sandra commented that the song was about her and Anna replied "aww dts nice" plus she must have heard stories. So tell me when you hear about your man and 1 particular girl not 1c or 2wice .You no see say dem don use iron sponge scrape ur gray matter comot
ReplyDeleteGood girl best decision ever let people talk after two weeks they will forget you are a beautiful girl Anna
ReplyDeleteHmmm.... As much as I still don't pity her cos I think this falling in love thing is overrated.... Im happy she has seen the light, even though a life is now involved. May God help you pick your life up girl so you can be independent of any man and you can Fend for your child irrespective of flavor 'a contribution. It's not easy but I pray it's all worth it. And I pray you find a good man who treats you right cos you deserve to be loved by a responsible man and not a two-timer. Cheers!!
ReplyDeleteAnonymous your case and this case are different Biko!
ReplyDeleteYou are the kind of person that gives people false hope and live in denial when it comes to relationship. Abeggy
ReplyDeleteGoodluck to her
ReplyDeleteYes I think she lied about not knowing they were dating, but it's non of my business. Best wishes
ReplyDeleteI wonder what that her ex-governor bfs would be thinking now. This girl had it all oh! As in ALL what some so-called beauty queens are still dreaming of. Man pay ur fees for foreign school wey I for go read book carry one ajebor small boy marry. She for don go far if she use her head think and not pussy. Oh well....
ReplyDeleteWomen, you are your own worse enemies. How in the world do 2 beauty queens be fighting and have baby for an ILLITERATE cos he is rich. Na wa for you people.
ReplyDeleteFellow women, choose smart when choosing the father of your kids. At least one that can help the child with his/her homework.
Dont marry or have baby for an ILLITERATE just cos he got some money, let illiterates marry each other. The world will be a better place.
So shout out to all the ladies who married or are with RICH illiterate celebrities.
Now that's the spirit of faith. I applaud her boldness and confidence for keeping her precious baby. " Do you have any regrets or whatsoever?" None none none and never! With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. Physicist.Steven Weinberg
ReplyDeleteYes The Igbo ladies on this blog came together and insulted this girl saying stupid things like Sandra will win ,husband snatcher as if that tout was a price. Because Anna was not Igbo ...tueh ...for all your info Anna took the best decision and she will be better off in future than Sandra mark this comment
ReplyDelete'So Anna why did you decide to become a baby mama when you are so young and have a bright future ahead of you?'
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of stupid question is this? and so derogatory.
IS BABY MAMA NOW CAREER CHOICE?
ReplyDeleteDon't mind dis foolish girl. Anna, u've changed ur destiny with ur own hands!
Why are u running away now? No,continue disgracing urself with someone whose only business with u is to massacre ur punani and clean mouth. No,don't ever go back to school,Ewu.
Experience is d best teacher. I hate pretty girls with frozen brains!
I really don't comment on sensitive issues like this and its been a while I commented here but Stella, you have done well for this interview.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, Anna, you just won my love and respect sweet. You have given courage to others and also shown the world that you're more than what we read.
God will strengthen you and give you double for your trouble. God will heal you and make you great.
From Sandra Okagbue (ig: dsanjy) to Anna Ebiere Banner (ig: annaebiere) to Onyinye Onungwa (IG: officialonyinye) and the rest of Flavour's harem of women are all in denial. One minute they break up and write epistle of leaving Flavour, the next minute they are screaming love this. It is quite pathetic. Anna and the rest of Flavour's bitches mentioned above will go back to Flavour professing their "love" to one penis! They are should become sister-wives cos Flavour will always be a womanizer. He can't fight it. It's in his bloodline. His papa get two wives, you think Flavour no get same mentality like his papa. Nollywood film no reach this kind of level of f*ckery.
ReplyDeleteWow I can so relate 2 being a victim of love... It is only him u will believe at point
ReplyDeleteNot judging her but lets be real, she knew Flavour had another chick while dating him. She must have hoped her love will be enough to make him dump the other for her.
ReplyDeleteWow! Love u Anna! U made the right decision and i am proud of u. May God grant u ur heart desires. I like chinedu as well he is a good man n i wish things would work out for both of u bt trust me dearie u deserve better. Ehug.
ReplyDeleteTee I am sorry to say I am disappointed in u. Especially since u a baby mama as well. Oh well to each man his own. BT it beats me as to why I will tear down one of my own. Its well.
ReplyDeleteShe's a grown woman, not a kid.
ReplyDeleteGood decision, goodluck.
All I see are good wishes from bvs,
Who were the bvs running their bad mouth before now? Smh.
Anna God will surely see you through. You were so naive. I thank God you kept the pregnancy. God will never leave you or forsake you. Move on baby
ReplyDeleteI love u Anna biko.. All dose judginas, Ngwanu
ReplyDeleteThat's actually what she wants, pity.
ReplyDeleteAnd flavour will always be in her life.
ReplyDeleteAnd where is GALORE the biggest hater of anna?
ReplyDeleteI dey wait your comment.
Anna you have won so much love y opening up and everyone an see how transparent your responses were, was the tailored at all.
ReplyDeleteGod bless you and your child and may the future be very bright for you both.
Much love
I love your caurage girl. Happy for you. God will always be with you
ReplyDeleteCome on, she was never married!
ReplyDeleteBiko was she married before? Which one is if she decided to remarry again?....shm! Congrats Anna,you just earned my respect.God is your strength and will guide you through this path.your strong,you are wise.move on.
ReplyDeleteWow it's really true what they say... don't judge before you know the whole story. I used to dislike Anna a lot for 'man snatching' but I feel remorse for that now. Proud of you girl. You've got good things coming, keep faith alive and be strong for your daughter. You're an amazing young woman #TeamAnna
ReplyDeleteI give comment 5 Star. *****.
ReplyDeleteI said it when you people were bad mouthing her. Men tell a lot of lies. If I were Sandra, I would dump his ass too. A cheater will always be a cheater. Unless you are poor, that is when money should be more important to you than your happiness . Sandra is always looking sad. I pray she finds hapiness
ReplyDeleteHi Fairy,
ReplyDeleteYou need to exit that home.
You need to be alive for yourself and most importantly for your kid.
You might not make it out alive the next he hits.
Move out!!
Same here !! She deserves better and a drama free life !
ReplyDeleteWen u were moaning ..u no knw....
ReplyDeletePls! . Sandra this Sandra that.
ReplyDeleteAfterall Sandra also knew that Beverley was dating Flavour before her . And Sandra still jumped in on Flavour. Sandra that was dating Orange drugs boss for years , almost recked his marriage.
In fact the real culprit here is Flavour. He seems like a heartless wondering d--k. And God is surely watching him on 3d.
I knew something was up when he was posing with Sandra's daughter first, then posed on the same spot with Anna and Sandra daughter later for pictures. Flavour is a professional player & I dont envy any woman he ends up with .
A man that sleeps around without protection.
Anna move on girl u will be fine , look after yourself & beautiful daughter.
Foolish girl! Tell your fake story to the gullible! You found out he was with another woman and it took you this long to break up with him! Please stop the damage control after major fuck up! He also forced you not to use condoms?
ReplyDeleteWhoever advices this girl to do this interview is a genius! This is serious damage control because I bet prior to this interview people saw her as trash! I know someone put her to this because judging from her decisions she does not in anyway appear smart. Thank God you realized you are wasting away your destiny on time. Now is time to rebuild and I wish you luck with that!
ReplyDeleteBut she's lying. I would feel bad for her if she didn't do the things she did with my guy (boyfriend at the time) years b4 Flavor. I called her out, she pretends very well and she has wings. All in all, we are women so I do have a soft spot for her. I just think ppl that mess with me end up event looking like a fool BC I'm prayerful and God fights my battles in a big way.
ReplyDeleteSuch is life... i think she will find a better man... and a better life in Christ. Anna was a committed member in her church at Dominion city in Port Harcourt until she became MBGN, which was supported by her pastor, pastor David. As u see Anna guys, she is a good Christian but she made a mistake but i know she will bounce back. I love u Anna
ReplyDeleteFools what makes you believe Flavour wants to marry Sandra? or that he was ever serious about her? I seemed to hear more about Sandra and Mikel Obi than she and flavour. I think flavour actually liked Beverly more than Sandra.
ReplyDeleteAnd why wld she conjure up such a story???
ReplyDeleteIt is best to keep focused.
what wrong with this Anonymous self, are a human being of dragon, you so stupid maan, aaaaggg sis maan, o mpsa maan, why are so negative, are having any personal issues with this girl or what, wa ntsheleka wa utlwa, you so local!!!
ReplyDeleteThank God you removed urslf from this chinedu ( amu na edu) guy. Pweety gal like u, shuldn't be competing abeg.I hope he marries sandra. But no his eyes r on chidinma kedike, until he pregnants that one his pick won't rest.
ReplyDeleteI love you beautiful Anna
ReplyDeleteNne you are aware about the other woman, but what increase your problem is u hang around with this Under17 24th. Century modern life,as your best friends, you forget to invest in wisdom and maturity, nd about you loving Flavour, that is not love, is the act wen someone tells you I love u
ReplyDelete, instead of taking it to your head , u take it to your heart, but all the same I wish luck, nd God will see you through.
Hmmmm! "thinking in japan" Ana claims she made an adult decision at a young age. No Honey you did not. I believe that the best decision you should have made is not to indulge in unprotected sex. I am proud you kept the child, but the deed has been done. hope u learnt your lesson. WISH U THE BEST!
ReplyDeleteanna banana. hmmm! I really want to believe you now. love does not make one naïve. if it does, a lot of us will be having unwanted pregnancy.
ReplyDelete*onye ki ne deceive ?* biko kan jukwa gi you kept the baby because you were scared of abortion or abi because flavour na the papa and you know the benefits you will get from it.
ReplyDeleteAnd no darling, you are old enough to know you will get pregnant when you decide to sleep with a man you are not married to without contraceptives. you made no adult decision and sorry to say this but you are a lying whore because you planned the pregnancy.
