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.

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...

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...
