Indeed, mother is gold! For comedian I Go Dye, there was no
better way to honour his mum than building the Golden Eyes castle in her
name.
Comedian I Go Dye, Mum and Oshiomhole
The Warri-born comedian whose real name is Francis Agoda, had a
housewarming ceremony in his hometown where he presented the mansion to
his mum.
According to the comedian, the sufferings of many years prompted him to erect the structure in his mum’s honour.
He wrote on Instagram:
Picture of the old house and the castle
“Reminiscing on this picture,takes me way back to a journey, that
saw me living with my mother in one room. The curtains that was behind
me,was a piece of cloth that my grand mum gave to us to cover the
entrance of our door.it was so bad then, all that kept me going was the
creative gift of innovating things like Solar fan, Radio transmitter,
fly Helicopter, Hover craft ship .this gave me a smile each time I got
compliments. Then I always told my mother that one day I will take them
out from that position,even when I made that possible years back,I still
felt a debt within me.honestly then I had told my self, I will build a
GOLDEN EYES mansion for my mother lol .Am just a few privileged to see
some of their dreams come true and I have to inspire many others that
life often saves the best, only for is to wait and strive a little
more.I am just using this medium to appeal to our parents to support
their children in all capacity, if there is a skill or talent that we
discover in them. Honestly, everyone cannot be a doctor,or lawyer, but
we all have special gifts that can set us apart from each other and
become successful. This picture was yesterday hope, a dreamed fulfilled
today for my #queenmum and a gift from God to help you believe in the
future. Am not better than any one,just that yesterday’s dream is kept
alive by all of you that gave me your support and prayers.may God bless
you all for making this possible for my mum.your own go pass this one in
Jesus amen.” (sic)
