Edem Kodjo's vibrant tribute to the illustrious regretted


There are many worthy Togolese sons, torn from the affections of the Togolese people. In a message, Edem Kodjo, founder of Pax Africana hails the memory of the illustrious disappeared of Togo and the whole world.


From music to sport through the showbiz, people who have left their mark on the fine sand of history, are Eklu Nattey, Basile Adewussi, Kpalongo, Mawuko Dogbo and so on.

"At the national level, Togolese Culture and, in particular, the music and defense sector of the actors of the showbiz have lost in Basil Adewussi (recalled to God on 02 July last) a proven talent. The late Adewussi joined Ablodévi Eklu-Nattey, an outstanding actor, in the '' Pantheon '' discreet but very effective actors who have worked actively for the development of our culture, "the statement reads.

And to continue "models to boast to the new generations. Just like John Codjo Messan alias Kpalongo, Togolese international boxer, 4 times African champion and vice-world champion in his category. Or the eminent composer Isaac Yao Mawuko Dogbo who always knew how to dazzle us.

The founder of Pax Africana sees these disappearances as invaluable losses to Togo as they were the torchbearer of this nation. Music and sport are "fields of activity that are in the contemporary world of real industries that generate invaluable resources and sell the image of our African states on the planet", one more reason to value them and support.

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.

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

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...
