Real Warri Pikin cancels Warri show, rejects tribal, political divisions

Comedian and actress Real Warri Pikin has canceled her highly anticipated show in Warri, Nigeria, citing unfortunate tribal and political divisions within the state. The entertainer announced the decision on Instagram, expressing deep disappointment that such divisions persist in a society that should prioritize unity.

“

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

"It is deeply disappointing that, at this stage in our society, we are still confronted with division where there should be unity," she stated. The show, scheduled for the coming weeks, was called off due to circumstances arising from these divisions. However, Real Warri Pikin stressed that the cancellation would not diminish her brand's reach or her self-perception.

"The Real Warri Pikin brand is bigger than where I was born," she declared, refusing to be limited by local government, parental background, or geographical boundaries. She asserted her representation extends to every local government in Delta State, Nigeria, Africa, and women across all tribes, races, and borders. She vowed not to let her calling be reduced by geography, tribe, or politics.

Real Warri Pikin extended thanks to her supporters, including those who offered counsel and encouragement. She expressed no bitterness towards those whose actions contributed to the situation, praying instead for collective wisdom to understand that unity fosters greater achievement than division. Though the show is canceled, her broader vision remains intact, and she affirmed her commitment to continuing her work.

“

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.

"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," she concluded.

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.
