Agbeyome Kodjo: 'If the opposition wants to conquer power, it will have to have the means'

Former Prime Minister Agbeyomé Messan Kodjo was Sunday the political guest of Radio Pyramide FM, a private radio station in Lomé where he reviewed the current socio-political situation. Can the opposition at the moment bend Faure Gnassingbe's power and win the next election? The former president of the National Assembly of Togo believes that this opposition still has some way to go to get there.

"The recent rapprochements between certain groups of the opposition still do not allow to drive the change that the Togolese expect and desire. If the opposition wants to conquer power, it will have to give itself the means to define its own agenda. It must be united and speak the same language, "he recommended while welcoming the strategy adopted by the group of six and the CAP2015. A strategy he finds "good but not enough". This grouping must be opened up to the other political groups of the opposition family, especially to the "emerging forces", he advocates.

The economist and former Director-General of the Autonomous Port of Lomé did not shy away from his pleasure when talking about the socio-economic situation in Togo. A situation he presents as "difficult". For Agbeyomé Kodjo, the "misery is ambient" in the country and spares no one whatsoever the small people or the cadres. "The Togolese cry their misery. The latter is growing in the country and it is not only the weaker ones who express the need to beg. It is also the fact of unsuspected personalities, "he said encouraging the government authorities to fight uncheckedly to corruption and economic crimes.

The Togolese State must mobilize resources to develop the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector and the sector of agriculture, sectors which, according to the Tokpli native, are major sources of employment.

In the power of Faure Gnassingbe, the president of the OBUTS party delivered a message. The one of a necessary alternation and change which in his eyes are the best means of development of the country allowing each one to try to the management of the country and allowing the people to sanction in case of failure.

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.

Togo now has its plan to combat land degradation

Land degradation is a reality in Togo. According to figures put forward by the Ministry of the Environment, each year 4.14% of the land (nationally) succumb to the phenomenon. And it is in response to the problem that the Government launched last March, the Program of definition of the national targets on neutrality in land degradation (PDC / NDT). On Thursday in Lomé, environmental experts validated a document that will serve as a blueprint for sustainable land management in Togo. This document, which estimates that 23,500 hectares of land are degraded each year in Togo between 2000 and 2010, has already identified national targets assessed on the basis of indicators such as land use, net productivity or carbon. According to the Secretary General of the Ministry of Environment and Forest Resources, Sama Boundjouw, these targets and their measures to be validated will become guidelines for any actor involved in the fight against land degradation in Togo during the next twelve...
