Absentee deputies undergoing a remedial session

The repetitive and unjustified absences of the Togolese deputies during the work undoubtedly outrage the President of the National Assembly, Dama Dramani. For a call to order, he summons them to a catch-up session in the next few days.

Since the second year of their term in the Chamber, many Members of Parliament (both opposition and government) deliberately deserted the work in Parliament. Well, despite the staggering increase in their emolument of more than 1,000,000 CFA francs and the privileges that go with it. They come to meetings as they please. Sometimes there are only 30 members who are involved in the work.

This year, notwithstanding President Dama Dramani's numerous interpellations, the situation has grown. These chronic absences of the deputies did not make it possible to work properly during the first ordinary session of the year that ended last Friday. "Yet they were there in large numbers in April 2016 to vote for the increase in their salaries and other allowances in the order of 85%," Dama Dramani said.

Until possible sanctions are decided against this irresponsible attitude of deputies, the President of the National Assembly convenes an extraordinary session to make up for the delay in the examination and adoption of laws.

Recall that since 28 February 2016, allowances, Togolese MPs have been revised upward. From 700,000 CFA francs, the emolument of the elected representatives of the people now rises to 1,300,000 FCFA per month. As for the chairmen of the committees and the members of the bureau in the National Assembly, it went from 900,000 to 1,500,000 CFA francs, not counting the 400-liter fuel voucher they receive monthly. A flight organized at the top of the state, some observers 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 t...

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...
