Personality of the Year 2017: Tikpi Atchadam Wins Live Vote on Local Radio



The Audi-Actu program of the journalist Joachin Agbetim honored, at the beginning of the year 2018, his tradition: the election of the personality of the year live by the listeners. Out of 36 participants in the vote, 16 elected Salifou Tikpi Atchadam as personality of the year.


 Almost all voters agreed on one point, Tikpi Atchadam was "able to awaken the mobilization for obtaining reforms," ​​according to some, "he revived the Togolese opposition," according to others. But again, it is believed that the president of the Pan-African National Party (PNP) has shown how to "do politics differently".

Other personalities mentioned in this survey are the Minister of Economy and Finance, Sani Yaya who received a vote with a glowing testimony on his particular attention to pensioners since, Mrs. Brigite Dajamagbo Johnson 1 vote, Minister Yark Damehame 1 vote, the Head of State Faure Essozimna Gnassingbe, some of whom welcome the Olympic silence since the beginning of the socio-political crisis came in 3rd position with 5 votes behind Jean Pierre Fabre, leader of the opposition won 11 votes.

Tikpi Atchadam would have won with 44.44% of the votes. What is not an absolute majority hence the need for a second round which should normally oppose the first two namely Jean Pierre Fabre 30.55% and Tikpi Atchadam 44.44%, in accordance with the reforms that the two actors claim: a first-past-the-post ballot in two rounds.

Does this vote embody the next face of the 2020 presidential elections?

One can simply note that the PNP, in 3 years of existence, has imposed itself on the Togolese political landscape. This party, although demonized and hunted down by State means while simply playing the role of a political opponent, knew how to play with tact, rallying all the rest of the opposition to the fight.

We still remember this humble phrase of Tikpi Atchadam about Jean-Pierre Fabre who was then on tour in America: "Big brother, the time of the mobilization rang". There followed a vivacity on the political arena. As one of the voters would say, "Tikpi Atchadam was able to draw the beards of the power in place" to the point of pouring slime from the mouth of the latter.

It's not just Radio Victoire Fm that has been doing this kind of exercise. Rfi, Radio France Internationale has also nominated the leader of the PNP in a very limited list of personalities who scored Africa in 2017.

For rfi, Tikpi Atchadam emerged in public opinion in 2017 as well as CNN journalist Nima Elbagir (Sudanese) who revealed the trade of Africans in Libya. Also on this list of RFi, the new presidents of Angola, João Lourenço and The Gambia, Adama Barrow.

                                                           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.

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...
