Back to C92: All mechanisms collide with Faure Gnassingbé




September 2017, the government introduced under popular pressure, a bill in the National Assembly. The amendments of the parliamentary opposition were "not even submitted to the commission of laws". The opposition boycotted the vote and UNIR was unable to pass "its" constitutional amendment.


 In launching the August 2017 protests, the Pan-African National Party (PNP), which disturbs the regime's sleep, had clearly asked: "Either Faure Gnassingbe is doing the reforms as he promised, or he is restoring our original constitution of 1992" . According to Tikpi Atchadam, if both things seem impossible to Faure Gnassingbe, then "Let it just go away!"

Since then, the arguments concerning the obsolescence of the 1992 Constitution seem to have known their limits since the adjuvants of the fundamental law of the country have demonstrated its value compared to the hacked version of 2002:

"The original constitution of 1992 limits the omnipotence of the President of the Republic since the Prime Minister is no longer a puppet to his liking as is currently the case. This constitution prohibits longevity to business, another way to ensure transparency in the management of public affairs, "argue pro-C92.
How then to return to the original Constitution of 1992?

Mechanisms abound and "there was never any question of proving a mechanism for the return to the 1992 Constitution to dialogue", according to the coalition of 14. Otherwise, how to corroborate this story that we have manifested for 6 months, and to ask for something that would prove impossible to achieve? Asked the opposition last Friday before replying that it is a "false problem".

"We can, by simple act, decide that all the changes in the C92 are deleted. So we restore the Constitution in its original version. It's simply a question of agreement between the parties. It is offensive to think that no mechanism could make it possible to realize what I have just explained, "answers Professor Komi Wolou, Dean of the Faculty of Law at the University of Lomé.

He went on to show that one can also by amendment retrocede all articles charcuterie in the 1992 Constitution in 2002, while Faure Gnassingbé sat on the commission of the laws of the National Assembly at the time.

Indeed, it is Faure Gnassingbé who is the object of blocking the dialogue. There are a thousand ways to return to the Togolese people its constitution "violated and hacked in 2002 by the RPT". It's just that the same party turned into UNIR, demands that its president be the object of an exception at the heart of the constitutional changes. "They demanded that in front of the Ghanaian facilitator," reports the opposition at the end of the talks. UNIR would therefore like Faure Gnassingbe especially, to be allowed to do as many warrants as he wants in violation of the spirit of the constitution.

And to say that UNIR officials keep hammering that the law must be "impersonal". It is necessary to have the heart to be the object of the disputes which kill hundreds of its compatriots and to make oneself block to any socio-political advance in a country which one claims to run by patriotism.

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...

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...
