Ace comedian, born Francis Agoda and known
worldwide as I Go Dye, is always on the
forefront of crusade of youth empowerment
and self emancipation. It thus comes as no
big surprise when he penned a little message
to younger comedians to commemorate his
birthday on Tuesday, April 4, 2017 .
In the message made available to Vanguard, I
Go Dye iterates the importance of shunning
inner fears to conquer in any endeavour in life.
” There are so many stars in the sky, and
everyone, old and young, has a million chances
to be in the spotlight. So there’s absolute
freedom to express any skill, talent or vision.
The stage has beautiful spaces for new stars.
You should constantly dare and challenge and
conquer the fears within, because the battle is
won from within,” he writes.
The ace comedian, who fought his own life’s
battle to rise from grass to grace never
passed off the opportunity to chip in a word of
inspiration to the younger ones, always
reminding them that the battle of life starts
with self conquest.
Some years ago, the ebullient humour
merchant held many spellbound at an Edo
carnival with a stirring speech on empowering
youths.
In his speech, he said “I have always been an
advocate of positive and inspirational
motivation to many youths through my
creative work on stage. That event was one of
the many occasions, that I have used to
express the shortcomings of our political
class; urging them to empower the NIGERIAN
YOUTHS. I am championing a cause presently,
which is structured to reposition the youths
towards achieving a Mental Revolution. I have
always identified with this struggle through,
IGODYE, an acronym which means Initiative
Guide on Developing Youths Endowments. So
the performance in youth summit in Benin
City, was just a continuation, that has been
existing all along”
Today, there is no way you can talk about the
comedy industry in Africa without making
reverence to Nideo Spain awarded African
Best comedian, TV People New York African
Best Comedian, A three-time multiple
awarded Nigerian Best comedian, and United
Nations Millennium Goal Ambassador
,ambassador Francis Agoda.
