Comedian, Real Warri Pikin Narrates How She Attempted Suicide In 2018 Over N22m Debt (Video)

Nigerian comedienne, Anita Asuoha, popularly called Real Warri Pikin, has recounted a near-death experience she once had.

In an exclusive interview with Chude Jideonwo, Real Warri Pikin disclosed how she was rushed to “three separate hospitals” before her consciousness was restored.

Real Warri Pikin admitted last year that she made an attempt on her own life in 2018 due to a N22 million debt.

“In 2017/2018 I had issues. Actually, I and my husband had issues, financial issues because we were in debt and everything. Then, I attempted suicide on June 6, 2018, but I didn’t die,” she said.

“Then they carried me to three different hospitals. In the last hospital when I woke up, I was like so I didn’t die? That meant God didn’t want me to die.”

She said the aftermath of her suicide attempt inspired her to venture into comedy. “So I can use my story to heal people”,  she said.

“Then I told God that I was going to use my story to heal people because I felt like he didn’t allow me to die because he wanted my story to touch people’s lives,” she said.

“To me, it wasn’t a story that I was supposed to keep to myself and I knew the fastest way to do it was online. “Then I had a small itel phone which I used. If you check, all the videos I did then wasn’t comedy to make people laugh but comedy to motivate people. I was always like even if you’re owing debt, the federal government is also owing debt, so you don’t need to kill yourself.

“Just take it one day at a time. So I think those things helped me heal because things I was supposed to tell myself, I was telling people.”
