Popular comedian, Anita Asuoha, popularly known as Real Warri Pikin, has cancelled her forthcoming show in Warri, Delta State, citing what she described as “unfortunate divisions” within society.
The comedian announced the cancellation in a statement shared on Instagram, expressing disappointment over what she described as continued divisions in a society where unity should prevail.
In the heartfelt video she shared, RealWarriPikin said being an entertainer from Delta state is ‘very exhausting’ because of the tribal divisions.
She said;
‘’ The disunity in my state is very tiring, especially amongst the Ijaws, the Urhobos, the Itsekiris..I am not saying don’t fight for what is right but does it have to always be v!olent? Does it have to be oppression? I have been a victim of b#llying and oppress!on in Delta state for the past eight years. I don;t know it all. Growing up, everywhere was called Warri. Now things are changing, people are reclaiming their lands..Its okay…but why do you have to bring me down because I made a mistake”
‘’They said I should take down the billboards, social media posts, the radio gingles, take down the rollup banners, they wrote a petition. They said the show will never hold and that the day of the show they will come and scatter everything. Some other set are saying, ” Even the Warri in my name I should remove it.”
