Arondizuogu is in 3 Local Governments, Ideato North, Okigwe and Onuimo LGA.

This is just for information to avoid misleading the people. Annie should at least ask questions before making wrong corrections.

Onye corrector next time get ur facts right, that part of izuogu is in okigwe local govt. Onye nkuzi okpa nkita!

He was a legend!
I wonder why some commenters here are pointing out that Pericoma didn't accept Christ.
He has lived his life the way it suited him. It's all up to his Maker to judge him on that, not mere mortals like those commenters.
You people make me sick with all these your sanctimonious comments!

Don't forget that the Bible tells us that we are surrounded with so many witnesses. Your guess is as good as mine
