Nigerian comedian, Francis Agoda, popularly known as ‘I Go Die’, has recounted how he spent a night at a brothel in Port – Harcourt many years ago.
OsunDailyNG reports that the comedian via his verified Instagram account on Tuesday disclosed that he could not afford to sleep in a hotel after he was invited for an event which paid him so little.
According to I Go Dye, he was paid 10,000 naira and did not know his feeding, accommodation and transportation were part of the money.
