Bem Usorko, one of the most celebrated madmen around Adikpo,
who was the toast of politicians, is dead. He was buried 7 August,2012 some
where in Shangev-ya, Kwande Local Government.
Usorko appeared around Adikpo in the early 90s with a
baggage, the stuff that every madman carries...Usorko also carried in addition,
what the folks now call “swagger". His swagger was peculiar.
Obviously, Usorko might be mad but he was able to develop a
successful brand that earned him a status; and fame...
Since he came on the stage, there is no sitting governor of
the state who had visited Adikpo and Bem, using tact or posing as some
chairman, that he would not have access to.
It was fun listening to Bem bragged about his riches and
positions, he also talked about highly placed friends!
Bem might be wrong on possession of riches, but he had
friends. In the 90s, some Adikpo influential people would use him to either
insult their opponents, or drugged ladies who were claiming extra ordinary
class, and then bring him to sleep with them. In those days, they would buy new
clothes for him and take him around town...
He had an accident somewhat in 2000, became disabled, took to
excess alcohol there after, became dirty, deserted by all friends and died like
the madman, he was!
Usorko,
your simple story, a lifestyle lived almost around Adikpo, for some of us who
observed it, was eventful, rest in peace, zegeor, as you wish to be regarded
