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...

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...
