Mr Waiganjo has two lives, complete with two different homes and two different wives, Mary and Barbara. Somehow, he manages to juggle them both without arousing suspicion.
His children, a boy and a girl from the different wives met in Facebook chat and their outstanding similarities have made them like each other so much, she has invited him home for tea.
Come and witness what Mr. Waiganjo is willing to go through to ensure that his daughter never gets to meet her “boyfriend” who is his son, and to ensure that his secret lives remain to be just that – A secret.
