Chai!!! What a great loss to Igbo culture, may his soul rest in perfect peace.

obyrich:
The much I know about him is that he is a highlife musician and a traditionalist. He is famous for his display of magical powers at the popular Ikeji festival of Arondizogu. It is also famed that he once hypnotised tax collectors who assaulted him at Onitsha just after the head bridge. They lifted him up to take him to their office but could not bring him down until someone who identified him announced that he was the great Peri como. He had to be appeased with some sacrifices before the dafts were freed. Very interesting story. I think someone sang about it.

He indeed sang about it. For those kids on nairaland, who doesn't know about pericoma, you can search for his nostalgic songs on youtube. My only problem is that these kids won't understand what the great traditionalist is singing about.

Naa n'udo, Oke mmanwu Ndi Igbo. This man was touched by the gods.

rosalieene:
Jeez!!! this man!!!

Arondizuogu people are kinda fetish and the place is not even anywhere close to seeing development in terms of building.

Not true at all. When was the last time you visited Arondizuogu?

Nukualofa:
Shut up. You re just a poor yoruba boy who was a victim of afonja greed

wicked.....afonja greed got me laughing

xynerise:


I didn't dine with him na. Just like one of his song.

Something "Na eso okwu"

Who's talking about dining with him


Dont knw much about him except what I read from this thread sha
But pa Antelope the guy na anyi ajo aru

One of his Songs 'Ekere mgba na-aku" was my grandfather's favourite. We love his magic stories as kids. Pericoma alaa.

This man was more than a man.

He really scared those touts at Onitsha.
They lifted him up and couldnt set him off their shoulders.
Laughingly Pericoma said, "Ajo any na anyi ajo aru"
Meaning, " Bad animal get bad weight."

And, as strange as it sounds...this really happened.

Pericoma is not from Ideato

He's from okigwu LG I think. but arondizuogu comprises of three local government which are okigwe, ofe-imo and ideato. Great village, proud to be nwa aro from imo state.

Be polite and you will learn and go far in life



Pericoma is a great traditionalist ,musician and medicine man.... His jazz is also top notch.... He became famous for stopping illegal tax collectors aka agbero boys at upper-iweka onitsha..... He was on his way to onitsha when he was waylaid by agberos who demanded for his tax receipts... He ignored them and they lifted him on their shoulders enroute their office...... He jazzed them and refused to come down from their shoulders for hours until they pleaded and made sacrifices to his deity..

That singular act instilled fears in the heart of all agberos operating at upper iweka thereby curtailing their excesses.

The great Pericoma. The man was renouned for both his music and wizardry.

The stories of what he could do with his magical powers have since assumed a life of its own.

It is indeed a great loss to Ndigbo

Y do we still support all dis juju and masquerade stuff...I get confused most times

rymesgentility:
Legends are been remembered by how many souls he blessed, don't really give a damn abt this man's spiritual powers or his music

You need to be informed. The man is a true legend. His traditional practices is not the type that offend or harm innocent people. He once said that he was gifted by almighty God, and in one of his music he warned that Almighty God is more powerful than native doctors in term of healing the sick hence he advocated for everyone to keep his hands clean. He is not in conflict with ur Jesus, Allah or Jehovah. He is only in conflict with evil doers and wicked people. He lived long and may his soul rest in peace.

Ichel:

He is a great traditionalist but the Iweka claim is a fictitious tribute to him by another musician.

I was therethe day it happened.. You will think its a joke that day, boys sweating like they were poured buckets of water.

It was scary.. The man has weight and was wearing all these women George wrapper and was with some men.. He was chanting incantations while up there, the crowd that day shaa.. Thank God there was no stampede..

It is not fictitious believe me..

No one can be a or the lion of Africa
