Woman Power!!...Sex Strike In Togo

Women Of Togo Asked To Keep "The Gates Of Their Motherland Locked To All Men" For A Week 

 

 

Isabelle Ameganvi, pictured, leader of the opposition Let's Save Togo, called for a "one-week sex strike, fasting and prayers."

 

Women in Togo are being asked to refuse to have sex with their men for a week starting on Monday, to press for the release of activists arrested during recent anti-government protests. The leader of an opposition movement, Isabelle Ameganvi, called on women to "keep the gates of the motherland locked to all men for a week" as she put it.

"We have power to change things. We do not want to remain in the kitchen, but we can have our say in politics," Ameganvi said. "We cannot stay hand-crossed, as our children and husbands are being kept in jail."

In addition to the sex strike, she called on women to wear a special colour during a demonstration which will take place on Thursday.

"You all have to be dressed up in red pants to show your anger," she said, amid cheers.

 

"If our people are not released by Thursday, the women are going to rush to the prison naked to get them released, only in red pants and nothing else," she said.

The security minister said any attempts to enter the prison will lead to arrests.

 

Her movement is seeking an end to four decades of government by the Eyadema family.

Cynthia Osokogu's Parents Speak...Learn From My Daughter’s Mistake, Cynthia’s Father Tells Youths

Late Cynthia Osokogu And Her Mum

Since Cynthia was murdered, her parents General Frank Osokogu & his wife Mrs Joy Osokogu have kept silent on the issue. Mrs Osokogu recently broke her silence to Guardian newspaper when they visited the family home in ECWA Staff Quarters home in Farin Gada on Zaria Road, Jos North Local Council of Plateau State.

Read her statement;
On July 22, my daughter Cynthia called me and said that she had arrived Lagos. She was a student of Nasarawa State University in Keffi. She owned a boutique, which she opened when she was a third year undergraduate. They usually brought her goods imported from the United States, but that fateful July 22, she told me that they were bringing her goods from England.

She said this time; she wanted to buy English goods to add to her other goods. She told me that since school would be resuming the next day, she would take the next flight to Jos to see me. As she did not arrive as she promised and we did not hear from her, we raised alarm and declared her missing. Then on Monday, August 20, they said we should come to Lagos and that they cannot disclose anything unless we come. It was when my son got to Lagos and they took him to the mortuary that they saw her corpse. I don’t know anything that happened again after that.

Mrs. Osokogu said the suspects in Cynthia’s death told her daughter when they received her at the airport at the Lagos that her goods were in the hotel room and that they wanted to show her there.

“When they got there, they strangled her to death, tied her mouth and everything. That was all”, she wailed.


Learn From My Daughter’s Mistake, Cynthia’s Father Tells Youths:

MAJ. Gen. Frank Osokogu, father of Cynthia, the young lady who was murdered in Lagos by her Facebook friends, has admonished all youths to beware of trusting total strangers they meet only on Facebook and other social media. If other youths are saved through this warning, he said, it would lighten his deep sorrow over the loss of his only daughter.

Osokogu who spoke in an interview with journalists in Jos, said it was Cynthia’s friends in Abuja, whom she had visited en route Lagos, who first notified him that she had not returned from her trip, days after she was due back.

How did it all begin sir?

My daughter was in Nasarawa State University, Keffi, doing her Masters programme. She stayed there. I stay in Abuja and Jos, while my wife stays in Jos. So, we are not together.
