FRANCIS Agoda, also known as I go dye, has been appointed a United Nation Millennium Development Goal ambassador.
By this feat, he has the mandate to continue to facilitate the realization of the United Nations Development Goals (MDGs).
It is a global initiative to recognise individuals who have championed and enhanced, through their works, the overall development of humanity based on selfless services, creativity and compassion towards human development.
I go dye started his comedy career at 13 in 1991 at the Delta State Television (DTV) with a veteran broadcaster, Tunde Omonode.
He was a co-host of a programme called Mock News with Otaghware Otas Onodjayeke fondly called I Go Save.
Mock News gained popularity because of its hilarious nature.
He subsequently got a contract to perform in the first comedy club in Nigeria at Prest Motel, Benin City.
His style gave him a lot of attention on some broadcast stations across the country, thereby facilitating his meeting with Baba Kome who discussed the idea of performing in the Night of a thousand laughs with him.
His introduction to the Night of a Thousand Laughs and his impeccable performances have been described as exciting.
