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

A legend is gone cry
Rip to him.
He is one of my all time greats. I can never stop listening to his music. Great talent.

Stuffs about his magic powers and esp the one about him and levy collectors at upper iweka...I don't believe that.

Sad cry He was on the list of the living legends I would've loved to meet before the end of the year.

May God continue to keep Achuzia strong and healthy.

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.

Thanks for the info.

Thats because u guys lived/lives in the east.

Have u heard of umana umana? I guess not cos u probably dont stay in d region where his story I popular.

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