A NEW COCO TEA IN IMO?

 By Stanford Arinze Nwokedi

May the soul of Coco Tea, the legendary Reggea maestro who joined the legion of the Reggae Ancestors recently rest in the peace of Jah Rastafari. 

A new Coco Tea is presumably here in Imo again. He is a political philanthropist. Eating roasted corn and like Anini, throwing Naira notes to market women, remain his obsolete entry behaviours. Fashion sense is Coco Tea.  He is heavily dirtily bearded. Broom-tattered, dirty, tainted and discoloured beards of the Monk. Yet, he has nothing with Christianity as a faith, if not as a tool of deceit and Voodooism.

He plays no Reggae this time. He is not even a politician. If he were to be a politician, he wouldn't falter in his very first step. 

He rides in and out of Owerri on his private jet and like a money-miss-road is bulldozing his way with wads and waddada. Money is his everything!  He's so poor that all he has is money.

He runs a politically compromised NGO and many a money - monger has joined his fray of Governor-wanna-be's. 

What a tactical summersault. Using a used format to run the show after the first user couldn't win a vote from elsewhere at Eagle's Square. Do we remember Rochas Okorocha? 

If you say man is not God, you are true. Only God knows tomorrow. We know today and perhaps those who will never be Governor going by their steps today."
