Nathaniel Olympio: "We are dealing with a dictatorial regime"

More than a million people (according to the Coalition) were in the streets of Lomé last Saturday, January 13, to demonstrate against the regime of Faure Gnassingbé. This is the very first event organized by the Coalition of 14 opposition parties in the new year 2018. "You have to be in the mobilizations to exert more pressure," said Nathaniel Olympio, president of the Togolese Party.

According to him, the regime of Faure Gnassingbé never took any initiative in the sense of an opening. "Any initiative that comes from this regime is taken to perpetuate it," he said. It is in this sense that he announced the dialogue, in the hope that the opposition rejects it, in order to be able to brandish this boycott to the international community. But he was surprised.

"We have not taken any steps to solicit a dialogue. If this regime thought that the solution is in a dialogue, it is because it is certain, persuaded that to engage the dialogue will allow him to consolidate the power, "he said.

For Nathaniel Olympio, it is not certain that what the people are waiting for will come out of this dialogue, since this regime does not want to leave power. "After the statements we made in the media, the statement of the Head of State on 3 January, I am not sure that this regime wants to give the Togolese what they ask for in a dialogue", a- he points out.

The actions of the regime, he continued, do not show that the RPT / UNIR regime wants to give dialogue a chance. For this, the president of the Togolese Party calls on the people to take his destiny into his own hands. For him, "we are dealing with a dictatorial regime".

"Let the Togolese know that the struggle to get what they want is in their hands. You have to be determined, you have to be more mobilized to exert more pressure. We have no other tools than what the constitution puts at our disposal and it is this mobilization that we need, "he said.

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

"Workers are indignant against the very low hourly rate that does not even meet the Collective Interprofessional Convention, long hours of work without rest.
