On June 3, the Togolese will remember the tragic helicopter crash



On June 3, the Togolese will remember the tragic helicopter crash that cost the lives of many compatriots and plunged the whole country into a stir.

Ten (10) years after this unfortunate event, journalist Pierrot Attiogbé, eyewitness, makes it memorable through his pen. "Lungi, the story of a tragedy" is the title of the work he is about to publish.

"One of the most sad and painful events on the course of our fooball, this tragic helicopter crash that wiped out in fear and forever in Lungi, relatives, friends, dads, moms, uncles, Brothers, sisters, in short, compatriots whose only sin is the love of the balloon, continues to haunt our collective consciousness a decade ago ", reads in the preface signed by Guy Akpovy, president of the Togolese Federation of Football (FTF).

The book reproduces in a striking and selective way, the testimonies of the relatives of a few victims. It comes to refresh the memory of the Togolese on the tragedy that the national delegation experienced in 2007 in Lungi (Sierra Leone).

Pierrot Attiogbé is currently General Director of the Pyramide FM radio and runs the show "D12" every Sunday.

"Lungi, the story of a tragedy" will be in the kiosks from June 2nd.

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.
