Popular Nigerian comedienne Anita Asuoha, better known as Warri Pikin, has cancelled her upcoming show in Warri, Delta State, citing what she described as “unfortunate divisions” in society.

The comedian announced the cancellation in a video shared on her Instagram page, expressing disappointment that divisions continued to emerge where she believed there should be unity.

Warri Pikin said the show, scheduled to hold in the coming weeks, was called off due to circumstances arising from the divisions.

She emphasized that her brand is not limited by geography, tribe or politics, and that she represents Delta State, Nigeria, and Africa as a whole.

She wrote:
“It is deeply disappointing that, at this stage in our society, we are still confronted with division where there should be unity.

It is therefore with a heavy heart that I announce the cancellation of my Warri show, which was scheduled to take place in a few weeks, due to circumstances arising from the unfortunate divisions currently at play.

But I need to make something very clear.
The Real Warri Pikin brand is bigger than where I was born.

I am not limited by my local government. I am not defined only by where my father comes from or where my mother comes from.

I represent every local government in Delta State.
I represent Delta State.
I represent Nigeria.
I represent Africa.
And as a woman, I represent women across tribes, races and borders.

There are no limitations to what God has called me to do on this earth, and I will not allow anyone to reduce that calling to geography, tribe or politics.

I love my state deeply. I love my country. I love my continent. And I will continue to work, build and use every gift God has given me to contribute positively to the places and people I represent.

To everyone who has stood by me, made calls, offered counsel, encouraged me and comforted me through this period, thank you. I do not take your support for granted.

And to those whose actions have contributed to the division that has brought us here, I hold no bitterness towards you. My prayer is simply that God gives us all the wisdom to understand that we achieve far more when we build together than when we divide ourselves.

The show may be cancelled, but the vision is not.
I am Real Warri Pikin. I am proudly Delta. I am proudly Nigerian. And I will continue to do what God has called me to do.

Thank you.”
