Francis Agoda, popularly known as I Go Dye or I Go Die, has postponed his upcoming 25 years on stage celebration due to ‘global threats from coronavirus’.

He described the situation the world is facing now as ‘a moment of trying times’.

“Due to the global threats from coronavirus covid019, my forthcoming silver anniversary on stage, Igodyestanding, kinging with the kings platinum edition, has been postponed,” the comedian wrote.

“This period calls for concern and sober reflection, it’s a moment of trying times.

“I can’t be celebrating now, as cases of coronavirus disease continue to be identified in countries around the world, the effort to stem its spread has kept some 290 million students home from school.

Meanwhile, he urged countries that have made some progress in developing vaccines for the deadly bug to ‘share their discoveries so as to bring back peace and good health’.

“I appeal to countries that have created vaccines and working to create a lasting cure to share their discoveries so as to bring back peace and good health to our lives.

“In Africa, we may not be so lucky with medical advancement and social support, but we can share the little we can as a people, by sharing the information to reduce its tendency to spread.

“Remember always wash your hand,” he added.

I Go Dye is one of the most popular comedians in Nigeria. He will most likely be saddened that the deadly outbreak has derailed his much-anticipated celebration.
