Real Warri Pikin, also known in real life as Anita Alaire Afoke Asuoha, has disclosed that she was celibate up to the night of her wedding. The disclosure was revealed by the well-known comedian during a recent interview with media figure Chude Jideonwo.
Afoke claimed that she decided to live a celibate life after having her heart shattered by a university partner. She claimed that the separation had left her feeling so devastated that she had made the decision to devote her life to serving God.
“I said, you know what? I’m not doing men anymore. I will serve God,” Afoke said. “I started serving God and going to church, praying on campus. I stopped going to parties. And I became celibate. I vowed that no man will see my nakedness again till my wedding night.”
Afoke said that while serving in Abuja as part of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), she met her husband, Ikechukwu. They wed in 2012 and now have three kids.
Reactions to Afoke's disclosure have been conflicted. While some have applauded her for her dedication to her faith, others have questioned her choice to postpone having sex until after marriage.

Regardless of people’s opinions, Afoke’s story is a reminder that there are many different paths to happiness and fulfillment. She is living proof that it is possible to find love and happiness without having to compromise your values.
In her interview, Afoke also spoke about her struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts. She said that she turned to comedy as a way to cope with her pain.
“I used comedy to express my pain,” Afoke said. “I used comedy to tell my story. And I used comedy to heal.”
The tale of Afoke serves as a potent reminder that we are not the only ones who struggle. Anyone who has ever felt lost or alone can take inspiration from her. Her experience demonstrates to us that even the most trying circumstances can be overcome.
