Vogan high school, in total disrepair



The oldest and only high school of Vogan vegetates in a state of decay which does not say name. The old school is visibly forgotten by those trained there. Pastor Edoh Komi of the Martin Luther King movement appeals to intellectuals, economists, doctors and anyone who has been trained to bring his stone to restore the blazon of this school. They therefore call on school officials to make good use of the tuition fees collected each school year. Read the press release.



The state of degradation of the school infrastructure which shelters the Vogan general secondary school is no longer a secret, because it is clearly visible and tangible, seen by all. Indeed, the Vogan High School created in 1974 is one of the oldest schools in the maritime region.

As a result, thousands of intellectuals, economists, doctors, men and women of rights, managers, traders and executives of all levels have passed through this school, which today is unfortunately abandoned and left behind. In the open air and therefore not enclosed in an old architecture whose doors and windows in tatters, its apparent state does not resemble a domain of a 3rd degree school.

Yet the Vogan lycée continues to play its role as the oldest and only public high school in the commune and canton of Vogan, whose numbers remain and remain overwhelming and plethoric. What is the purpose of the schooling of these thousands of learners? How can you pay the school fees and continue studying in classrooms that do not guarantee security and quiet? These conditions are far from ensuring and promoting both decent work for teachers and access to better education for pupils.

At a time when Vo populations are gathering for their traditional ADZINUKUZAN festival during these periods, the MMLK makes a vibrant appeal to the Regional Directorate of Education, to the administrative officers of the school, to the office of parents of pupils, to the prefectural authorities, Vo staff and former Vogan high school students to mobilize their financial and material energies to enhance the image of this great center of knowledge and teaching.

It will be malicious, suicidal and dangerous to have children return to this school during the next school year at the risk of their lives.

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...

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...
