Comedian, actress and social media host, Anita Asuoha, popularly known as Real Warri Pikin, has revealed the one thing she wished she learnt earlier before joining the entertainment media space.

In an exclusive interview with Saturday Beats, Asuoha said, she wished she knew how to say “no” earlier than two years ago.

She said, “I wish I  knew how to say the word “no” earlier enough. I learnt it so late. If I knew how to say it earlier than two years ago, many things wouldn’t have happened. But of course, I am still grateful for where I am today.

Speaking on how women can better protect themselves and still be heard in society she added, “I just feel like women should be more careful because all these killings will not stop. We just need to devise our own way of dealing with them.

“We should listen to our instincts more as women. If some things are not necessary do not do them or take those steps. Choose your battles, and focus on the things that are important and true. Also, don’t trust so easily, and that’s why most of us are affected. That’s it, because nobody can make you feel bad without your consent. You have control over how you think but one thing we need to know is that we do not have control of how people might treat or make us feel.”
