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.
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.
He said he had to beg a prostitute to allow him to spend the night in her room for one thousand Naira.
Recounting the experience, he shared a throwback photo of that very day with the caption: "This picture Expresses a rare story of zeal and hope, this was 23years ago, 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 was part of the 10k .
