Comedian
I Go Dye is made, and soon, very soon, he will be completing his
multimillion naira eye popping edifice in Benin city. Oh, and the house
structured after Chateaux De Reves has got it all; a lawn tennis court,
two swimming pools, one indoor and outdoor, three kitchens,
lounges/bars, a spectacular double stair case in the living room, among
other unique facilities is estimated to gulp over $4 million when
completed. Encomium Weekly hit up with him where he revealed how he
makes his millions…
"There
is always a reward for hard work and entertainment is not an exception.
Most renowned artistes in the country are living based on the
remunerations that they get from performances. It is a professional job
that offers financial rewards. So, it will be wrong for someone to
assume otherwise as if the entertainment industry cannot afford the
success surrounding artistes in recent times.
Most
high profile comedians like me handle corperate events that don’t enjoy
the kind of publicity that the music artistes do. So, most often little
is heard most times about how comedians earn their money. Sometimes in a
single event some comedians are paid between N2.5 and N4 million. When
you then evaluate how many of such performances within 365 days that
they will be contracted, then you wouldn’t be too surprised what the
average comedian is worth."
