Nollywood Actress Onyii Alexx shocked her fans not long ago when she said, “It’s a sin for a broke man to say he’s in love with me.” Recently in an interview on the TVC News channel, Ex-Big Brother Naija personality – Anita Natacha Akide, popularly known as Tacha, declared, “I am so sorry, I can’t date a responsible but broke man everyone has his/her own spec so I will urge people to go for their spec.” She added “As for me, my market is expensive. My man must be rich, hardworking, sweet, and encouraging, God-fearing.” This declaration contrasts with her namesake Anita Alaire Afoke Asuoha (nee Eselemo) better known as Real Warri Pikin who posted on Instagram the conversation she had with her husband when they started their relationship before they got married. Her Instagram post reads:
That year Ikechukwu go say,
Anita y me!
Anita are you sure you can marry a man like me!
Anita y do you love and respect me soooooooo much!
Today the story and reality for Real Warri Pikin are amazing. Her marriage, two children, and husband are healthy, and she is rewriting the narrative of many Nigerian pseudo-feminist who are bitter divorcees who denigrate the marriage institution with the latest news of the most recent marriage failure on their social media pages.
One surprising but highly commendable thing about this Warri girl was that before she decided to marry this broke man, she was already an authentic star based on talent and not on just appearing on a reality show. In 2008, she contested in the ‘Glo Rock ‘N’ Rule dance competition’ and was declared the winner because of her superior dancing skills. She was eventually named a Globacom ambassador in 2009. In 2011, she and her family auditioned in ‘The Maltina Dance All Family Competition’ and finished as the first runner-up. Her story has not always been rosy. She has narrated periods where her mental health received a hit because of unpaid loans and other family challenges. But today she is the Queen of the Nigerian comedy industry. She has performed across the length and breadth of Nigeria with key performances in the United Kingdom and America.
It must be said that it is how we make our bed that we will lie on it, Real Warri Pikin has arranged her bed very well and she is enjoying the benefits. Many celebrities are today crying out and declaring themselves available for marriage after playing with the broke men who approached them years ago. Actress Inem Peter revealed in a post that “I woke up this morning wanting a husband. I beg oo, I am ready. Where are all those men in need of a wife? Please I am ready ooo! Am ready to wash your clothes 3 times a week, serve you in the house and the other room just how you want it. I am ready to cook your meal 3-4 times a day. No stale food, no microwave no warming. Please come and use me. I am all yours!” If you have a broke man with vision even if he does not have television, be like the Real Warri Pikin and enjoy the fruits of your endurance.
