Following the demise of his loving grandfather, William Ajengo, on March 20, Radio Jambo presenter Joseph Ogidi, popularly known as Gidi Gidi, took a week-long break from his studio duties to mourn and bury the man he was closely attached to.
His grandfather, who once served as a senior chief, died at the age of 92 after a short illness.
The breakfast presenter, alongside his co-host Jacob ‘Ghost’ Mulee, are widely known for their efforts in reconciling and bringing families together, especially those whose marriages have hit rock bottom, in Patanisho (reconciliation), a popular segment on the Gidi na Ghost breakfast show.
Through the years, the presenters have solved various family disputes, including deadbeat dads, wives and husbands who sleep with their in-laws, families battling incest cases, as well as helping drunk and cheating couples reform.
Speaking of reconciliation, Gidi who rose to fame back in 2002 when he released the popular hit song ‘Unbwogable’ alongside Majimaji, revealed that his late grandfather had eight wives, and never did his grandfather need to conduct a ‘patanisho’ among them.
“My grandfather had eight beautiful wives and what’s surprising is the fact that they all love each other unconditionally till now,” Gidi said. “Three of them passed on and five of them are alive. They are simply inseparable. Leave alone those who complain of being troubled by just one wife, [my grand dad] had no problem dealing with eight!”
