03 June 2007-03 June 2017, ten years ago, Togolese football was struck by a drama.

While the national team had achieved a resounding feat against Sierra Leone's Lone Stars, part of the delegation was the victim of a helicopter crash in Lungi, Sierra Leone, which killed 22 people, including 13 Togolese.

On this sad anniversary day, I bow before the memory of these illustrious martyrs of Togolese football.

10 years after this tragedy, I appeal once again to a collective awareness in the Togolese sporting world in order to honor for ever the memory of our brave fellow countrymen while defending the honor of the mother country.

I also urge the authorities to accede to the grievances of the relatives of the victims, in this case the erection of the stele to immortalize the memory of the illustrious disappeared.

Oruko Amutorunwa (Pre-Destined Names) In Yorubaland

                                                           Ibeji (Twins) In Yoruba land, one of the most important things done when a child is born is to give the child a name. This comes after the child’s ritual birth, massage of specific body parts and other rites as well. Names are given to the child by the father, mother, grandparents (paternal and maternal) and some close relatives also. But sometimes, the circumstance of a child’s birth will automatically give the child a name. This name is known as ‘orúko àmútọ̀runwá’ (pre-destined or generic name) in Yorubaland. The most common generic names (orúko àmútọ̀runwá) in Yoruba land are ‘Taiwo‘ and ‘Kehinde‘ (altogether known as Ìbejì) which are given to twins. The first born of the twins is called Táíwò, a shortened form of Tò-aiyé-wò (taste the world) while the last born of the twins is called Kéhìndé which literally means “the last to come”. Contrary to the popular belief that Taiwo, being the first born of the twins, is old
