Who is Edward Okpa?
a. What do newspaper articles say about Edward?
i. Edward Okpa is a hidden gem according to the Dallas New Times article published after the 2007 mayoral election. The article says “A hidden gem in this year's Dallas mayoral race was a Nigerian-born real estate appraiser. But the results betray the strength of Mr. Okpa's intellect and his ideas. What's most impressive about the naturalized American citizen is his studied and sometimes counterintuitive way of examining issues. Of all the candidates, this busboy-turned-entrepreneur may best symbolize - and articulate - what it takes to bridge the social and economic divide between the northern and southern halves of the city. Don't ask him a question if you don't want a reasoned response. If the solution isn't readily apparent, he'll only make one promise: He'll study it and get back with you”.
ii. An article published on March 10th 2011 in the D Magazine says “Ed Okpa is now officially a candidate in the Dallas mayoral race. He’s not only the sole minority candidate, he’s probably the smartest.”—by Tim Rogers
