Popular Nigerian comedian Anita Asuoha, widely 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 decision in a statement shared on Instagram, expressing disappointment that division continues to exist where, according to her, there should be unity.
Real Warri Pikin said the show, which was scheduled to hold in Warri in the coming weeks, would no longer take place due to circumstances arising from the divisions.
She, however, stressed that the development would not limit her brand or her work, insisting that her identity extends beyond her place of birth, local government or family background.
According to the comedian, she represents Delta State, Nigeria and Africa, as well as women across different tribes and backgrounds.
She reaffirmed her commitment to using her platform and talents positively, while thanking supporters who reached out to her with encouragement and counsel following the development.
Real Warri Pikin also said she held no bitterness towards those whose actions may have contributed to the situation, calling instead for greater unity and cooperation.
She concluded by declaring that although the Warri show had been cancelled, her broader vision remained unchanged.
