Press Briefing on August 14, 2017: Betrayal of Elites and the Reign of Arrogance



In Togolese society resentment is growing and the impatience to break the borders of social injustice and misery is becoming more and more acute. This will end in social explosion, if intellectuals tarnished in the service of power and politicians without consciousness continue their criminal and cynical play. The growing irritation in the population, due to exclusion, corruption, inhuman and abject poverty, etc., planned and sustained by the encanaillated governance of the minority, will inevitably lead to social upheavals, An organized force does not put an end to the present anxiogenic and glaucous situation in the country.

Those who have defrauded and killed to usurp power seek to preserve it at all costs. They are outrageous and manipulate the so-called opponents, who had given them respectability and representativeness by signing the Global Political Agreement (APG) with them. In return, they give them some prebends by an abusive increase in their remuneration in the National Assembly and the presidency of parliamentary committees, by accompanying travel abroad and mission expenses, by appointments in the Boards of directors in public companies, etc.

The time has come to awaken consciousness and change the rules of the political and social game. It is no longer acceptable for a minority to consider itself as a political and therefore a social majority, and take over all the essential positions of the state in order to rule society. To mitigate the perverse effects of such an anomaly and injustice, the designers of democratic governance had proposed limiting the presidential mandates to two and for a better and broader representation the two-round elections. If this happens to work more or less well in countries that have been colonizers and have reached suitable thresholds of industrialization, educational, social and cultural development, these practices are poisons for poor countries whose populations are poorly educated and whose The elites are conditioned, paillardes, bambocheuses and potentats by traditions.

Consequently, the rules of the democratic game, considered until now to be fair, legitimate and accepted without reluctance, outside China, And serving as established conditions for the choice of political leaders, have become obsolete and promote violence, instability, divisions and economic delays in our poor and indebted societies. After every election and following fraud and violence of all kinds, the most evil succeed in controlling the state apparatus, in using its means to dominate other citizens and in enriching themselves. They marginalize opponents and shamelessly and effusively enjoy all the advantages of power. They miserably buy the consciences of a part of the population they use to perpetuate their domination and to reinforce social injustice, misery, intolerance and ignorance.

Let the lessons of democracy learn that no society has ever flourished in ignorance of the majority of its population and in the surrounding misery. Barack Obama had been mistakenly mistaken about his following statement: "Africa does not need strong men but strong institutions. ". Only strong men build strong institutions and give them life before they disappear. Was General Charles DE GAULLE in France a weak man? Had not MITTERRAND treated him as a dictator, and had he not written his book entitled the permanent coup d'etat before exercising two cumulative mandates of 14 years by draping himself in this constitution of the 5th Republic? Had not President ROOSEVELT nationalized the banks and took decisive action to put an end to the terrible crisis of 1929? Is it the work of a weak man? Was LEE KUAN YEW, who built Singapore and ruled it from 1965 to 2000, anything other than a strong man? KIM DAE JUNG, former President of Korea, who transformed it and made it into a dragon of Asia, was he anything but a strong man? I have imbued myself with the works of these great men and have visited the traces of their achievements. I would not forget LOUIS XIV, ADENAUER, ABRAHAM LINCOLN, etc.

The world is changing, but there are undeniable realities. President Uhuru Kenyatta must understand that his victory proclaimed to 54% of voters does not give him the right to grab hold of all his powers in Kenya and to marginalize his opponent Raïla ODINGA, who got almost 45% of the vote . Without political or social justice, there is no development and peace. Since the invention of democratic governance in the 18th century, the world has evolved extraordinarily. Electoral successes in Ghana, Nigeria, etc., should not obscure the need to revise certain dogmas and practices of democracy in order to adapt them to national realities. Let the intellectuals, tainted and egocentric, In the service of the powers in Africa, know that one does not develop a country by creating asocials, babacools, pariahs and zonards.

How can a university president let the forces of repression invade the space of the university to subdue students, who are just demanding rights and treatments to enjoy the simple human dignity? How can he, after that, make tourism all over the country to convince the populace to accept the rape of his freedoms and the trampling of his dignity? What he seeks in a populist and retrograde commission, Headed by a lady whom the Togolese people consider as unclean? Why is Mrs. Awa Nana needed to go and be humiliated by the populace after presiding over the ECOWAS Court of Justice and regained some consideration after her incredible passage to the presidency of the CENI in 1998? What a betrayal of intellectuals!
It is time to turn the tide, which degrades us, and to put forward ethical and progressive demands. The political system in place in TOGO is degenerated and blocked. What is important about his intrigues, his activities with foreigners to support him, his rides and his cuisine by organizing unproductive international summits and without positive impact for the people, he is in putrefaction advanced. We need and will need popular help to dynamite it and put an end to its nuisance. We will then have to impose the right of all Togolese to have access to social welfare, social prestige, respect and moral authority. We must then define the new foundations upon which the new society open to multiple and mobile elites must rest.

We know that when the necessary enlargement of the elites comes up against resistance which can be justified only by the corruption of a minority, the prejudices of ignorance, the egotism of the rulers and the weight of customs, The social explosion becomes inevitable. It is unacceptable for vamps to settle in the heart of power and at the strategic posts of the state to vampire the vital energy of the Head of State. There are some of our sisters, who are real gourgands and so voracious that their greed exposes us to a social cataclysm.
How has the Togolese government been able to contract a debt in the last 7 years, which is around 81% of our GDP, ie almost 2000 billion FCFA, starting from 20% of this GDP in 2010? What a disaster if it is known that it has destroyed productive sources for repayments and is forced by the IMF to borrow money on the financial market at a rate of 7% to repay part of its Debt, maturing and contracted with privatized banks? The fierceness of this government, Evolving into inertia and folklore, synonymous with paralysis and near death, ended up poisoning all Togolese society that lives in falsehood, lies and immorality. In depth, the country is ready for a revolutionary start. The PRR exists to save it from chaos and reunite its children to lead them in prosperity, order, social justice, freedom and the well-being of all towards its true destiny.

The current government, who is a prisoner of the habits of the house, has not yet understood the urgency and the necessity of a global reform of society, even making dilatory efforts for political, institutional and electoral reforms. a wall. These last reforms could have been a weapon of compromise in his hands and earned him a certain lull and even a passing tolerance in the country. But these unenlightened, unscrupulous compatriots, blinded by their personal ambitions, their greed, and the possibilities of illicit enrichment and unpunished, do not see the risk they cause to their chief and our country. If today there is a need for a social revolution in Togo, then it must be sought in the refusal of the minority to make inevitable concessions and to make the reforms that our people demand from the North to the South.

We are suffocated and strangled by the minority that current governance favors and destroys our country. But let them know that we will not accept that social injustice, mediocrity, Debauchery and corruption are the palladiums of our Republic. They must change radically or leave before it is too late. Even the best finish badly when they delay to leave the scene. There is a time for everything. The fall of USAIN BOLT to the London Worlds this year is an instructive illustration. With faith in God and His holy will, we will triumph and change the debauched and destructive governance of today. May God inspire us, guide us and protect us.

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

Nearly 200 Togolese workers falsely dismissed by the Chinese company CRBC

Nearly 200 employees of the Chinese company CRBC (China Road and Bridge Corporation) to rehabilitate the roads Lomé-Vogan-Afoin and Lome-Noépé, were falsely dismissed this week. It is following confrontations occurred during the mood swings of the 08 and 09 February.  These workers, very dissatisfied with their dismissal, say they do not stop there. They plan, in the coming days, and together with the leaders of the Union of Workers, Managers, Employees of Public Works and Buildings (SOECTRAB), major actions to get into their right. According to Gavor Kodjo, Secretary General of SOECTRAB who defends the workers dismissed by this Chinese company, the reasons why the Chinese company returns workers on construction sites do not hold water. "Workers are indignant against the very low hourly rate that does not even meet the Collective Interprofessional Convention, long hours of work without rest. They are often assigned to workplaces without being paid for the housing or tra
