The "beloved leader" Faure Gnassingbé in Mamane's magnifying glass

Everyone recognizes it. Mamane, the Nigerian comedian, columnist on RFI, did not miss Faure Gnassingbé in one of his columns last weekend. According to him, the monstrous mobilization of the Togolese people in the streets throughout the country is comparable to the hurricanes that ravage everything in their way in the French West Indies, Texas and Florida.

For Mamane, Faure Gnassingbe is afraid of the human tide in the streets of Togo, which he compares to hurricanes that have for "eye of the cyclone" the "palace of the presidency". That is why, according to the chronicler, "our beloved leader" relied on the security forces who "tried to repel gusts and winds."

Stunned by fear, Faure Gnassingbé decided to deprive thousands of Togolese of mobile data, social networks and information sites, cutting off the Internet on the eve of the protests. "So frightened by the human tides that swept over by demanding his resignation, he decided to cut the Internet and social networks as if the hurricanes against him were spreading over the Internet," Mamane said.

"Between storm, hurricane and cyclone and the human tides, our beloved leader no longer knows where to give head only preoccupied only by one thing: to save his head."

It must be said that Faure Gnassingbe will not soon forget this chronicle which, moreover, has only too well described the situation which prevails in the country today, with the fear that has changed sides.

Perhaps it is worth recalling, "our beloved leader" is the surname given by Mamane to the heads of state (dictators) of Africa who rule in very democratic republics (dictatorships).

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...

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

Octavianus was only 18 years old when he ascended the Papacy of the Roman Catholic Church and became Pope John XII on December 16, 955. 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...
