Real Warri Pikin: Why I attempted suicide in 2018
Anita Asuoha, alias Real Warri Pikin, a well-known comedian, has detailed her near-suicide due to a debt of 22 million naira.

The media celebrity Chude Jideonwo discussed her experience being rushed to "three separate hospitals" before regaining consciousness in the most recent episode of her podcast #WithChude.

The 32-year-old admitted: "I experienced problems in 2017 and 2018. Actually, because we were in debt during the entire time, my husband and I had financial problems. Then, on June 6, 2018, I made a suicide attempt, but I survived.

“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”.

“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.”
