Opinion: Among held the Lord’s name in Vain

“We believe in the trinity. We believe in God, the father, and God, the Father is President Museveni. The father is President Museveni. God and his son is MK. And now you are the Holy Spirit. You should have worked for them” – Speaker Anita Among (09.06.2025).

Thou shall not…

“You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name” (New International Version – Exodus 20:7).

Why do I quote the Bible now? Well, the Speaker of the 11th Parliament is clearly taking the lords name in vain. She is calling the “King of Kings” or the Ssabagabe as the Lord himself. The Speaker is now calling Museveni “God”. In her mind and what she said to the crowd is that the President is a deity. His son is “Jesus” and a “Saviour” as the Gods Son. That’s the gist of it, as the citizens and voters have become the “holy spirit”, and I don’t even know how that is possible.

We know President Museveni will love this praise. As he sees himself as above everyone else. This will boost the morale of the son too. They will both be happy with this and know they have a token servant in Anita Among. As she will blindly sing psalms about them. That’s what she did and so blatantly too.

These people will quote the scriptures and use the Christian belief to further their case. However, in the same manner they will use blasphemy to support their interests too. Because the Speaker knows Museveni is more important for her career than God himself. She needs Museveni and his invisible hand to ensure longevity. Among needs Museveni more than anything.

The Speaker needs the King of Kings and calling him a deity is just showing what sort of person she is. It is just who they are and they are wolves in sheep’s clothes. They are on the field and speaking of saving the sheep. However, these people will unleash the wolves on them the moment they smell blood. That’s what they do, and we can just see it.

She holds Lords Name in Vain. That’s something the Speaker must recognize. Not that the President or his son will care. They just love to be glorified and be put on pedestals. They prefer being shed a light on. The Speaker should reflect on her words.

The Ssabagabe is giddy and will be in joy, as he is now praised beyond his mortal body. The likes of Among is making him immortal. That is what he wants, and he always wanted to a be legendary man. Peace.

Togo: Is Aamron’s destiny the final straw of Gnassingbe’s Fifth Republic?

On May 26, 2025, our brother Aamron was abducted in the middle of the night by more than 50 soldiers. He was beaten with unprecedented violence, forcibly shaved, and then interned without any medical grounds in a psychiatric hospital. His only crime? Having denounced the corruption, injustice, and suffering of the Togolese people. Today, we break the silence and name those responsible. Here are the names of the individuals identified as involved in Aamron’s abduction, torture, and forced internment:

1. Lt-Colonel Essoyomèwè GNASSINGBE

2. Rear Admiral BELEYI

3. Simplice BELEYI, former customs officer

4. KEREZOUYE, former customs officer

5. Colonel Edouard BIGNANDI

6. Retired General Gnakoude A. BERENA

7. Agssoyè ASSIH, retired gendarmerie officer

These men betrayed the Republic. They used the means of the state to humiliate, torture, and break a free citizen, without trial, without rights, and without respect for human life. We name them so that no one will ever again say, “We didn’t know.” We name them to protect the next Aamrons. We name them because the truth is a weapon against fear” (Farida Bemba Nabourema, 05.06.2025).

The Family Dynasty of the Gnassingbe is endangered as the youth and the demonstrations are appearing in Lome and elsewhere in the Togolese Republic. The one sided rule and one man rules them all are getting tested by this.

When the authorities apprehended Aamron and since then kept him captured. They signalled the people and tried yet again to intimidate. However, it is backfiring, as the people are going to the streets and protesting. People are changing their profile pictures to red squares. Calling out the government and planning to demonstrate. This is creating new organizations and new activists organizing it, like BRDP and LDNA. There others too, but the Faure Must Go is becoming the known slogan.

Faure Gnassingbe is doing the bidding of a madman, as his keeping Aamron captive in a psychiatric hospital of Zébé. That after kidnapping, torture and keeping him out of sight and out of mind. Thinking this news wouldn’t be leaked and create fury. That’s what is happening and rightfully so. Gnassingbe has used violence, intimidation and blocked the citizens from moving. He has stopped campaigning and demonstrating on the beaches before too. So, this isn’t anything new from him. However, the reaction to the usage of force, brutality and the way they are detaining Aamron shows how far they are willing to go.

The Head of State is playing with fire here. His opening doors he cannot shut. The more he opens it and exposes the room. The more things will become dire and there will be no return. Not like his adhering to the calls of releasing Aamron, but he should have done it yesterday.

Now the activist and artist is haunting His Excellency and the family dynasty, which has acted untouchable and thought he could continue ruling indefinitely without another puppet pulling the strings. Alas, that isn’t the case.

The impunity and misuse of force is now creating havoc. It is only starting and more pressure is coming. The people are reacting and we can only wonder how this will play out. Peace.

USA: The bromance that turned into a brutal breakup

The White House under President Donald J. Trump have never been a silent trip. Neither has there never been any sort of drama and possible sackings of high-ranking officials. Under the first Trump administration there was several people who was sacked, and they had short stints in office.

Now it’s only about 6 months into the Presidency and the Co-President is now booted out. President Trump has now ditched his donor and DOGE Special Government Employee Elon Musk. That has happened over the “big, beautiful bill” and whatnot behind the scenes. If it was the EV mandate or whatever. It is hard to know, but the President and former Co-President is now trading shots online.

The now bloody battle will now create some headaches, as Trump are challenged, and his own record is put under question. That being how he was elected and how the race was won. Secondly, why the President and his fellow cronies haven’t released the Epstein files. Therefore, he now has a lot of trouble on his hands.

That’s because Elon Musk is unleashing his fury of being booted. However, this can backfire for Musk too. Not only the value of Tesla decreasing and loss in the stock-market. Musk can also suddenly be held accountable for DOGE and what he did as a Special Government Employee. All of his actions in the last few months can be costly and his acts can be investigated too. Therefore, he can get into real legal jeopardy, as he should be held accountable for DOGE and what his fellow peers did in the early days of the Trump Administration.

President Trump will by default be implicated, as he allowed Musk to do all of it. He was working in tandem and was praising him for his work. We all saw it and the bromance was effective. In such a manner, that Musk was allowed to whatever he wanted and given free reigns. Meanwhile, Trump acted oblivious, but always said he knew about his every action. Just like he praised Musk for writing emails to government employees where they had to tell 5 things they did last week. That’s the gimmick of their work-rate and what he achieved.

We know that MAGA will go back and forth… as they are torn on which big man they should leach on. They must be beholden to one master and in the end that’s most likely Trump. These people are already captured by Trump and the epitome of MAGA by now. Therefore, now the leaders and former fringe leaders like Stephen Bannon will now ask punishment and possibly deport Musk somewhere. We don’t know that it will happen, because his paid off so many Republicans and they are in his pocket.

It was inevitable that there would be trouble in paradise. That someone who joined in Mar-A-Lago and at the White House. When someone like Musk who is high as a kite all the time and an entitled billionaire would join along another billionaire with massive power. These two was bound to fight and one had to lose out. Right now, they are both losing and the skeletons are going viral outside the closet.

We don’t know how things will play out from here. Maybe Trump will chicken out and back down, as his worried of the efforts and the options Musk has. We don’t know if Trump will go scorched earth on him. That will cost too… but Trump won’t care… and he will have the Oval Office, and no one will dare to impeach him again. Trump can do whatever and he still has the party in his pocket. That’s something Musk doesn’t have, and he has to throw more money around. Alas, it isn’t like Musk is a beloved character or is charismatic. No, Musk was the moneyman and the daddy war-bucks. Therefore, he won’t get much love and nothing he gets for free.

This is all about the money, power and greed. A bromance turned into a brutal breakup and the costs are put on the taxpayers. Every single decision will cost the state money. Regardless of how it goes down. Trump has to either cut off Musk, but if he does so. Then Musk must decide his next step and what he will do to retaliate against Trump. We don’t know how that will play out, but sooner or later we will figure that out. Peace.
