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.

                                                           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...
