Road Lomé-Vogan-Anfoin: The Calvary of the populations of Akoumapé during these periods of rains



The township of Akoumapé (prefecture of Vo), crossed by the Lomé-Vogan-Anfoin axis, is currently going through a bad pass. The last rains caused a lot of damage. The road Lomé-Vogan-Anfoin whose abandonment of the repair work continues to feed the controversy is currently flooded and become a veritable river of circumstance in this locality. The users and the inhabitants of this canton no longer know which saint to devote to. This is the total calvary at Akoumapé. In a public statement, the Martin Luther King Movement is sounding the alarm. Here is the press release in its entirety.



To the rescue of the canton of Akoumapé cut in two (2) on the road Lomé - Vogan by the last torrential rains

The last rains that reached the peak on Saturday, July 8, caused terrible and terrible damage. Thus the Lomé-Vogan road, whose abandoned works continue to fuel debates and provoke the most intense polemics in the Republic, was unfortunately transformed into a special river at Akoumapé.

This misfortune is due to the failure to build a bridge in the center of the recognized locality, often flooded on an accidental slope whose deviation presents enormous dangers to populations and users.
Akoumapé haut and Akoumapé bas are hardly reachable now more than a week ago and the greeting to the passengers is assured by courageous young people who put a pedestrian rescue device for the occasion.

As for the motorists and motorcyclists, it is a course of combatant and misfortune if in full water the starter releases, the sequence is detrimental. Nowadays, the risks of insecurity and sinking are still inevitable and the situation is still worrying. This part of the track is under flood.

For the MMLK, it is necessary to find a palliative solution both for the populations and for the other users. For if it is necessary to wait for the waters to evacuate themselves, Calvary and misery will extend and declare themselves for an indefinite period with unforeseeable consequences. "To great evils, great remedies," it is often said.

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...

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...
