Succession in the Canton of Tsévié: Sprains at the origin of the division on the choice




Traditional chieftainship has become a gangrene that destroys Togolese society. Politicized until the last strata, the designation of the heads of districts, villages or townships is the subject of fierce disputes everywhere. Even the most organized royal houses are not spared either. This is the case for example of the canton of Tsévié recognized very structured and well organized until the death of Togbui Passah Yao Gozo Folly VII on November 17, 2014.


 For the Throne Council, everything went well with the former Prefect Adossi Komi Sena who received the file of Passah Koffi Afeti that he sent to the Ministry of Territorial Administration. But at the arrival of the new Prefect Etse Kadevi, everything turned upside down to the point that for the first time, it was proceeded to the vote to choose Passah Agbessi Assito.

Since March 1 when the decree of its recognition was taken in the Council of Ministers, the tension has risen a notch within the royal family. According to sources close to the family, "it is a purely political choice that does not meet any criteria established for the succession to the Passah Palace. There has never been a morality inquiry for the one imposed today. But everything has been done for his elder brother. Which country are we in? I wonder what the new leader will do. The throne council was not informed of the famous vote. It is the customary council that decides on the choice, not an election. What happens is a masquerade. He has not yet been inducted, but he has exceeded all the instructions to go to take all the attributes of the late leader he wears cheerfully. It's unfortunate for our country. "

The Chairman of the Tsévié Special Delegation Bruno Kossi Logo has been singled out as the main investigator of this anarchy. Joined by the editors, he rejects everything en bloc. " Who am I ? I did not put my mouth in the Passah chieftaincy. I do not care. I know that there was a protest under the former prefect Adossi. After the new prefect took over the file which resulted in the appointment of the new leader. The Customary Council invited me as the authority of the city of Tsévié during the vote. On the same day, I also said that this is the first time I have attended a vote in Ewe country for the designation of a leader. Since this is not my responsibility, I simply attended as an observer. For this vote, the new leader won 50 votes to one for Afeti, "he said.

With regard to the allegations of purchase of the new chief's vehicle, the Chairman of the Delegation denies and asserts that the new leader continues to walk. All our attempts to join the Prefect and the new leader were unsuccessful. In the wake of the challenge, a letter was sent to the Head of State whose content.

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.

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...
