I once attempted suicide over N22m debt — Real Warri Pikin reveals

Popular comedienne and actress, Anita Asuoha, aka Real Warri Pikin, has revealed that she attempted suicide over unpaid debts.

She revealed that her husband, influenced by the speaker, delved into various business ventures, resulting in a N22 million debt.

The media personality also explained that, as help was not forthcoming at the time, she gave in to the suicidal thoughts and tried killing herself.

She made the revelation in commemoration of World Suicide Prevention Day.

Her words, “I tried suicide so you don’t have to, in 2018, June 6, 3 pm to be precise, I attempted suicide, I gave up on life because the burden was too much,” she said in a video clip shared on her Instagram page.

“Life just dey hit me left right and center, life dey turn me round like barber chair. And I felt like the only way to escape is to end the pain.

“Suicide is making a permanent decision to a temporary problem. And most of all, hold on to God and do the one your power reach.” 

In 2019, the comedienne revealed that depression pushed her into comedy.

Her words: “I discovered my comedy talent through depression. In school, I used to dance professionally, host events, and do stand-up comedy. However, I didn’t take it seriously. Last year, I fell into depression. I didn’t have money, and a lot of things went wrong. I just said to myself, “Why not start making videos to motivate and inspire people in a funny way”? And here I am today.
