Kenyan Radio Host Gidi Celebrates Birthday in Style with Kenya Airways Surprise

Joseph Ogidi Oyo, popularly known as Gidi, celebrated his birthday in a unique and memorable way, thanks to the thoughtful staff of Kenya Airways (KQ). The popular host of the renowned breakfast show “Gidi na Ghost Asubuhi” on Radio Jambo was treated to a special birthday surprise mid-air while traveling to Cape Town, South Africa, on flight KQ784.

As the flight cruised high above the clouds, Gidi was pleasantly surprised by the Kenya Airways crew, who orchestrated a heartfelt birthday celebration. The flight attendants took to their task with enthusiasm, serenading Gidi with a joyful rendition of the “Happy Birthday” song. The highlight of the celebration was a specially prepared glass of drink, presented to Gidi as a toast to his special day. The surprise not only added a personal touch to his journey but also highlighted the airline’s commitment to making their passengers’ experiences memorable.

In a touching post on his Instagram page, Gidi expressed his profound gratitude towards Kenya Airways.

“Thank you so much for the birthday surprise mid-air on flight KQ784 to Cape Town. You are indeed the pride of Africa. Pass regards to the entire crew on this flight,” Gidi wrote.

The birthday celebration was further highlighted by a heartfelt message from Gidi’s radio co-host, Ghost Mulee. Known for their dynamic partnership on “Gidi na Ghost Asubuhi,” Ghost Mulee took to Instagram to commemorate Gidi’s special day with a heartfelt tribute. His message not only celebrated Gidi’s milestone but also reminisced about Gidi’s contribution to the Kenyan music scene.

Ghost Mulee’s post was both a celebration and a nod to Gidi’s musical legacy, particularly referencing his iconic song “Unbwogable,” which became a cultural phenomenon in 2002. Mulee’s message read, “Join me in wishing my boss and great man who made most Kenyans happy in 2002 with the unforgettable ‘Unbwogable’ song. Happy birthday Gidi. May the Lord grant you your wishes and may you live to blow many many more candles all in good health.”

The tribute underscored the deep bond between the two radio personalities and their shared history. Gidi and Ghost Mulee have been a staple on Radio Jambo’s breakfast show, known for their engaging and entertaining content. Their show has become a beloved part of many Kenyans’ morning routines, and their camaraderie both on and off-air resonates strongly with their audience.
