Brigitte Adjamagbo-Johnson: "The true peace supposes that one does not kill you"




The women of the G14 will be in the street this Saturday, January 20 to also express their desire for change. Brigitte Kafui Adjamagbo-Johnson confided in an interview. Reading !


 Why a women's march?

We want to say that we do not agree with this situation. We want to say that we are one with the Togolese people. We, Togolese women also want the change that the people demand. This is a warning that we want to give to the regime. We will be black and add the colors of our flag, a symbol that belongs to us all and not to a minority that has repressed us for years and took the economy hostage. This is a warning that Togolese women want to launch.

Saturday, it will be our turn. We also want to express that this situation can not last. It can not last because we do not have enough to feed our children, we do not have anything to heal. Women go to the market and sell nothing because Togolese do not have the minimum purchasing power to keep buying what they need. It is not normal. We mean enough and enough. Let the people be given the constitution they demand and this country change. We will do this demonstration the day after the fifty-one (51) years of this regime.

Since 1967, this regime is there. Today, he is fifty-one (51) years old. We want to tell them that it can not continue. Enough is enough. We will never stop claiming until we get satisfaction. The country does not belong or is owned by anyone.

What will be the routes of this walk?

We have three (03) starting points. A first starting point will be in front of the Catholic Church of Adidogomé, a second at the Total-Totsi intersection, the third starting point is Déckon. We intend to converge everything on the place of Grand Plateau College in Cassablanca.

What message will you address to your opponents of power who are calling you enemies of the nation?

We do not want a drop of blood in this country. We want change, we want peace. We women, we are peace-bearers. Precisely, it is because we want this true peace that we have been on the street for some time. True peace means that we do not kill you, that we do not beat you, that you have the means to live decently, that you can enjoy your basic human rights. Which is not the case. We mean enough.

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
