Jean-Pierre Fabre: "Faure Gnassingbé is not qualified to be President-in-Office of ECOWAS"

The work of the 51st Ordinary Session of Heads of State and Government of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) opened yesterday in Monrovia, Liberia. According to information, Faure Gnassingbe will be appointed during this session by his peers as the current president of the subregional institution.

Already, this appointment at the head of this institution, which in its protocol on democracy and good governance, asks the heads of state of member countries to do only two terms, is not seen by many observers. Since Faure Gnassingbé refused to sign this protocol, he himself did not obviously fit in with this vision.

This is what leads the leader of the Togolese opposition, Jean-Pierre Fabre, to criticize the taking of the presidency in office of ECOWAS by the Togolese head of state.

"Mr Faure Gnassingbe is not qualified to be the current President of ECOWAS because of his attitude contrary to the ECOWAS protocol on democracy and good governance in Africa, because of his refusal to implement reforms in his Country, "said the president of the National Alliance for Change (ANC).

He acknowledged that neither he nor the Togolese people can prevent this appointment. "Unfortunately, we can not prevent them, since we do not ask for our opinion before making this appointment. It is the heads of state that do it, "he said.

Jean-Pierre, however, is addressing a request to the ECOWAS heads of state: "I ask them to force the reforms in Togo (Editor's note, Faure Gnassingbe). Because the designation of someone who endangers peace in the region as president, is not normal. "

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...

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.
