Trimua: 'Faure Gnassingbe is above the dialogue'



Does the head of state, Faure Gnassingbé want to go to the referendum with the bill of constitutional revision adopted by the council of ministers on September 5? "No," replies Christian Trimua, former Secretary of State, today an adviser to the Head of State.


 "The president never said in his speech that he was going to refer to the referendum the text that was voted by Parliament. He said that the people must be consulted. This means that whatever the outcome of the dialogue, we will go to the referendum, "he said on Thursday on the program" press club "radio Kanal FM.

But, it is in the case where the referendum gives birth to a mouse that this draft revision of the Constitution will follow its merry way, he said then adding that the procedure will be completed. "Actors can no longer gather in a corner and the people can not have their hand," says Trimua.

During the radio broadcast, the question of the same contestation of the Head of State by the street was also mentioned, subject that he did not address in his message to the nation. Will this subject be addressed during the dialogue? For Christian Trimua, the head of state is not part of the dialogue; he is above this dialogue. He goes further by saying that the President of the Republic is an institution.

"We will not go to a dialogue to negotiate the immediate departure or future commitment of the head of state to leave, it is necessary that people get out of the head," he warned.

Faure Gnassingbe, according to him, will receive with his government the conclusions of the dialogue and will implement them according to the indications which will have been given.

For this doctor in public law, the substance of the Togolese problem lies in the limitation of mandate and the two-round election of the President of the Republic. "From the moment the limitation of mandates has been ceded, all other issues are peripheral and will find a solution quickly in a dialogue," he said.

The other important issues to be discussed during the dialogue are, according to Mr Trimua, the reorganization of the institutions and the electoral guarantees. According to Faure Gnassingbe's collaborator, the question of mediation is a secondary subject of dialogue.

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 twins is called Kéhìndé which literally means “the last to come”. Contrary to the popular belief that Taiwo, being the first born of the twins, is old

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
