The United Nations has named successful Nigerian comedian, I Go Dye as one of its ambassadors. The ace 'rib cracker' is now the international body's Millennium Development Goals (MDG) ambassador.
The honour is in recognition of the impact I Go Dye has in the society through his profession. He was given the mandate to continue to facilitate the realization of the United Nations' MDGs, I Go Dye, as gathered, has been committed to philanthropic gestures and also advocating for a non-violence approach among youths in Africa, inspiring and advocating them for good leadership towards eradicating poverty.
Speaking on the development, I Go Dye said, “I feel honoured by this, but it will be more gratifying to me, when I will see our leaders create more opportunities for the youths and making effort to gainfully employ them. As at today, millions of Africans are suffering and faced with uncertainty. The future seems vague and no hope in sight.
"Until this personal desire for a better Africa is achieved; my heart knows no profound happiness because someone is still sleeping without a meal.
"But this recognition shows that my work is not in vein. I thank God for giving me this talent that is inspiring others and also to my fans all over the world who have been supporting me with their prayers and love. Without you, all these achievements won’t have been possible. May God Bless you all."
The United Nation Millennium Development Goal Ambassador honour came with a customized vehicle number plate: MDG AMB 7K, an international identification card and an honorary plaque.
I Go Dye is now among other UN MDGs Ambassadors around the world working to actualize the objective of the United Nation.
