Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Kwame Dzokoto left behind a string of catchphrases that endeared him to many Ghanaians.

A 2013 Graphic Showbiz profile listed Edziban a dzidzi, Obo Twumlaa, Pia monko oo… patre kotom, Aborokyir Bodanfo and Angwatominiko as his trademark expressions.

Dzokoto said his jargon was made up of everyday words with a touch of humour. He developed the habit as a child in Takoradi, where he grew up loving the Ta’di dialect of Fante.
