Popular Nigerian comedian, Francis Agoda aka IGoDye took to his Instagram page a while ago, to tell an inspiring throwback story.
He wrote thus:
Dont give up! Everything in life comes at an
appointed time,with a price and grace.I cant forget the fact that I
was denied twice on sept 26th 1998 and August 28th 1999 at the
auditioning of night of a thousand laughs.but at the destined time I was
payed 40k to perform at the year 2000 night of a thousand laughs
edition to perform at 4 cities port Harcourt,Benin Lagos and Abuja.that
was the first buck money that came my way,and it came at a time that I
need 12k to pay for another house after my landlord had given me quit
notice.ten years after performing on that podium and was given this
award in 2011 as the most outstanding comedian in a decade.most Of the
people that denied me performance’s then are my biggest fans today
because they made me who I am today.the lesson is that when one’s time
comes nothing can stop it,just be prayerful,hold on to your dreams and
surely the future has a good song, the power to excel lies in you, Don’t
give up no man can play God.
