Renowned Nigerian comedian, writer, and motivational speaker, Francis Agoda, popularly known as I Go Dye, has shared a personal experience of spending a night in a brothel in Port Harcourt.

In a detailed Instagram post, the comedian disclosed that due to financial constraints, he had no other option but to seek accommodation in a brothel as he couldn’t afford a hotel room.

According to his account, this incident occurred 23 years ago after he performed at a comedy event. He was paid a sum of 10,000 Naira, unaware that it was meant to cover his accommodation, transportation, and meals.

Upon reaching Port Harcourt, he discovered that the given amount was supposed to include these expenses. However, the lowest-priced hotel in the city at that time was 5,000 Naira, leaving him with no alternative but to seek shelter in a brothel.

The primary purpose of sharing this story was to inspire his fans and followers, urging them to persevere, never lose hope, and maintain their faith.

“I slept in brothel 23 years ago in PH because I had no more for accommodation.

This picture Expresses a rare story of zeal and hope, this was 23 years ago, on Dec 26th, 2000 with the producer of Nite of a Thousand Laugh Mr. Opa Williams at Port Harcourt Nite of a thousand laugh event. On this day, I wasn’t able to sleep in a hotel because I was paid 10k months, before the event, I didn’t know my accommodation, transportation, and feeding were part of the 10k. It was when I got to PH that I was informed, about my logistic. The cheapest hotel I could get was 5k and I only had 2k with me. 10k don almost finished since October when dem give me. The only option available was to cross to a joint where runs girls were staying. The one I met for the accommodation requested for 1k but insisted that the space to sleep will be available by 2 am when all her customers don come finished so I agreed. After my performance I went there to sleep, my greatest surprise was that around 5 am person still come knock door come wipe, and she say make I wait for outside for 30 minutes. Na the noise make me go Water like that morning find motor when dey go Warri. This is just a simple story for anyone to understand that no matter the difficulty you are going through today, there’s a brighter day ahead. We must keep faith live and believe in the beauty of our dreams. NOTE Chris Oyakhilome and Chris Okotie no fry hair reach me that year. Francis Agoda”.
