Nigerian comedian Anita Alaire Afoke Asuoha, who is better known as Real Warri Pikin, has cancelled her comedy in Delta State due to tribal division.
In a statement written on her Instagram page, Warri Pikin mentioned that she would be unable to carry out her program in Delta State due to “unfortunate divisions” within the society.
In the heartfelt video she shared, Real Warri Pikin 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 violent? Does it have to be oppression? I have been a victim of bullying and oppression 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. It’s 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 jingles, 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 sets are saying, ” Even the Warri in my name I should remove it.”
