For those who really knew this man, some of us may want to read his biography to either remind us or let us know him better. Don't be so rude as to insult whoever ask about him.

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 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.

What a coincidence. I didn't know you were typing this. Welldone. I loved the man for that singular act. Upper Iweka used to be hot. My first encounter with day light robbery at gun point was there on a Sunday afternoon. I thank God for what Obiano did there.

Chai this is a great lose my traditionalist brothers, Pericoma Mmonwu na Eti onwe ya.

Once you are across the bridge, nobody know or give a fucck about the juju man.

my mum once told me of how she went for one of his music shows, the next thing the man said was those that did not pay gate fee should leave else they will die, some left some did not, lo and behold those that did not dropped dead,op no source? abi u are his son which one?
