Popular comedienne, Anita Alaire Afoke Asuoha, better known as Real Warri Pikin, has revealed that her suicidal attempt made her venture into the crib-cracking business.
She claimed that she made the choice to inspire people who were facing comparable difficulties.
As recalled by NaijaPr, She disclosed that she had thought about suicide on multiple occasions between 2017 and 2018 as a result of a debt she and her husband, Ikechukwu, owed.
In an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, the mother of three said starting comedy helped her heal from the trauma.
She said,
“All the videos wey I dey do that time, no be comedy to make people laugh o, na to motivate people say, Area! Even though you dey owe debt, no worry, Federal government dey owe debt. No kill yourself. Take one step at a time. Problems must come.
“I think those things helped me heal like things wey I supposed to myself I go come dey tell [others]. Then I never pay the debt finish o. I go still go cry, come do video.
“Maybe God made me went through what I went through because [He wanted me to be here].”
Real Warri Pikin said she has been receiving testimonies of how her motivational talks stopped others from taking their own lives.
