Mascot kwa

Mascot is younger brother to OUK; though not as politically known as Orji his elder brother. Sincerely, Governor Okezie (the kerosene governor) has completely messed up Abia state. U need to visit Aba this rainy season to see. It's a pity. I don't know if it's to wish him death or wish him to die
