His words, “My stage
name is just an acronym that expresses my motivational background to inspire my
generation. Some will mistake the pronunciation and attribute another meaning
to it. But it actually means, ‘Initiative, Guide on Developing Youth’s
Endowment (I Go Dye).”
Although the beginning was so rough for him that he was once
evicted by his landlord and had to borrow a jacket to wear to his first show,
things have changed dramatically for him. He is said to be building a luxury
home in Benin, Edo State, at a height inspired by French Luxurious Castle – Chateaux de Reeves, for instance. But he
would not tell you how much this has cost him.
He only says, “Well, a
home is a home, just a place where one can get a little comfort. I don’t want
to give a contrary estimate, but it has been so demanding. I believe, we all
live in a civilised society today, and not much sentimental attachment should
be accorded to even cars. It is not the value of a car that brings the true
regards upon the individual. It is personal integrity and selfless attributes
that inspire other people that actually bring fulfilment.
“Everything in life is
all by God’s grace. Who is a man, in all seriousness? Nothing! It takes God’s
favour to stay alive, let alone waking up to see the rising sun. Besides, no
matter what any one assumes that he possesses, there is nothing new under the
sun. So, why should anyone find it hard to accept that we are so ordinary in
all standards? It is natural to keep that simple profile,” he explains.
Beyond comedy, Agoda says he is involved in civil
engineering, noting that he runs Revamp Construction
Company. Although he does not give details about this, he, however, rules
out a trade that many of his colleagues are dabbling into music. He responds
with an emphatic ‘no’ to the question whether or not he wants to sing and
probably produce albums like Gordon or Koffi.
On what makes a good comedian, he says, “It takes commitment and genuine interest in the profession to reach
the zenith of it. Creativity and the ability to acquire experience in
everything happening in your environment are crucial. Above all, natural talent
is what actually makes it easy to achieve that desired attainment. But God has
the final approval to anyone success.”
