Trimua: 'Faure Gnassingbe is above the dialogue'



Does the head of state, Faure Gnassingbé want to go to the referendum with the bill of constitutional revision adopted by the council of ministers on September 5? "No," replies Christian Trimua, former Secretary of State, today an adviser to the Head of State.


 "The president never said in his speech that he was going to refer to the referendum the text that was voted by Parliament. He said that the people must be consulted. This means that whatever the outcome of the dialogue, we will go to the referendum, "he said on Thursday on the program" press club "radio Kanal FM.

But, it is in the case where the referendum gives birth to a mouse that this draft revision of the Constitution will follow its merry way, he said then adding that the procedure will be completed. "Actors can no longer gather in a corner and the people can not have their hand," says Trimua.

During the radio broadcast, the question of the same contestation of the Head of State by the street was also mentioned, subject that he did not address in his message to the nation. Will this subject be addressed during the dialogue? For Christian Trimua, the head of state is not part of the dialogue; he is above this dialogue. He goes further by saying that the President of the Republic is an institution.

"We will not go to a dialogue to negotiate the immediate departure or future commitment of the head of state to leave, it is necessary that people get out of the head," he warned.

Faure Gnassingbe, according to him, will receive with his government the conclusions of the dialogue and will implement them according to the indications which will have been given.

For this doctor in public law, the substance of the Togolese problem lies in the limitation of mandate and the two-round election of the President of the Republic. "From the moment the limitation of mandates has been ceded, all other issues are peripheral and will find a solution quickly in a dialogue," he said.

The other important issues to be discussed during the dialogue are, according to Mr Trimua, the reorganization of the institutions and the electoral guarantees. According to Faure Gnassingbe's collaborator, the question of mediation is a secondary subject of dialogue.

Ibi Ugwu (Male Circumcision) In Igbo Land

The act of circumcising babies in Igbo land is an ancient culture and tradition of the Igbo people which has its origin from their traditional religions. “Circumcision is the act of removing female genitalia, or a simple fold of skin (foreskin and prepuce) that covers the head of an un-erect penis”. In ancient times, the Igbos circumcise both male and female children, but as modernization set in, the circumcision or genital mutilation of Igbo female children was stopped while that of male continued till today. The circumcision of male babies (Ibi Ugwu) in Igbo land is done on the 8th day after birth. This is done by experts in the act, like midwives and native doctors (in modern day, physicians carry out this operation). During circumcision, the fore skin that covers the head of the penis is cut off and the operated part is treated to heal quickly and to prevent any form of infection. Male circumcision (Ibi Ugwu) takes five to seven day to heal up. Meanwhile, some Igbos circumcis...

John XII: The Pope who turned the Vatican to a Whorehouse

Octavianus was only 18 years old when he ascended the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church and became Pope John XII on December 16, 955. He was the only son of Duke Alberic II (932–954) of Spoleto, then ruler of Rome. Alberic, before his death in 954, made Roman nobles swear at St. Peter's altar that they would make his son, Octavianus, pope at the first vacancy. Since the leaders loved the dying father, they kept their word to him and elected Octavianus as the 130th Roman Catholic Pope succeeding Pope Agapetus II after the pope’s death on November 8, 955. Octavianus adopted the apostolic name of John XII. He was the third pontiff to take a regnal name upon elevation to the papal chair; the first being Pope John II (533–535), whose birth name was Mercurius and the second, Pope John III (561–574), whose birth name was Catelinus. Right from the start, in relation to secular issues, the new pope issued his directives under the name of Octavianus, while in all matters relating t...
