Beyond the Mic: Comedian I Go Dye Takes on Global Diplomatic Role, Named UN Peace Ambassador


​Nigerian comedy icon and social commentator, Francis Agoda, famously known as I Go Dye, continues to redefine his legacy, moving beyond the stage and into the global diplomatic arena.

​While the veteran comedian still tours—most recently marking his 30th anniversary on stage with a successful 7-city UK tour in late 2024—his most significant recent developments lie in his humanitarian and advocacy work.

A Diplomatic Career in Full Swing:

  • Global Peace Ambassador: In a major career milestone this year, I Go Dye was officially appointed a Global Peace and Development Ambassador by the International Association of World Peace Advocates (IAWPA).
  • United Nations Focus: This prestigious appointment, which comes with an official UN diplomatic passport (Laissez-Passer), solidifies his role in advancing peacebuilding initiatives and accelerating the achievement of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across various regions.
  • Social Activism: He continues to be a vocal public figure, using his platform to address national tragedies. Most recently, he expressed heartfelt solidarity with the people of Benue State following a tragic communal attack, describing the event as a "deep wound in our collective soul."

Back to the Stage:

​Fans haven't been forgotten! I Go Dye recently teamed up with fellow comedy heavyweights AY Makun and Basketmouth for a major collaborative project, 'The Good, The Bad, and The Beast,' showcasing that the comedy veteran remains a formidable force in Nigerian stand-up.

​I Go Dye is a testament to how Nigerian entertainers are leveraging their influence for far-reaching social and political change.
