Sylvanus Epiphanio Olympio first president of togo
Olympio served as the Prime Minister of Togo from 1958 to 1961, during which time he held elections to consolidate his power. He then served as the first President of Togo between 1961 and 1963, obtaining seats in an election that barred Nicolas Grunitzky's party. Opposition leaders, such as Anani Santos, Antoine Meatchi and Nicolas Gruntitzky were either jailed in Mango prison or exiled to Ghana and Benin. Using "Ablode Sodja" militia the President squashed political dissident.[citation needed].
During his presidency, Olympio pursued a pro-Western foreign policy. At one point, he visited the United States and had a friendly meeting with President John F. Kennedy. Togo maintained friendly relations with most of its neighbors, but relations with neighboring Ghana and its leader Kwame Nkrumah were consistently poor. Within the country, each state supported the other's dissidents.

Gilchrist Olympio (born 26 December 1936) is a Togolese politician and the President of the Union of Forces for Change (UFC), the country's main opposition party. He is the son of former President Sylvanus Olympio, who was assassinated in a 1963 coup.

Olympio was born in Lomé and he studied mathematics and philosophy in the United States, and in the United Kingdom at the London School of Economics and Oxford University, where he received a doctorate[1][2] in economics. He worked at the United Nations in fiscal and financial studies from 1963 to 1964 and then as an economist for the International Monetary Fund (IMF) from 1964 to 1970 and later returned to Africa to pursue business.

is he Yoruba though?


seems his grandmother may have been Yoruba, but the family is descended from Portuguese paternal and African maternal ancestry.

pejuakinab:

I was going to comment but this says it all.

modele2:
Hmm so this is what my Oga thinks when I try to make conversation and bond with him.... OK o. New Year resolution update. Limit my gist to absolutely necessary ones.

o ga.

from what we see here, seems h.orny talk, sports and abusing women is what gets the goat of a lot of guys, nl ones in particular.

and perhaps posting lingerie photos like someone did few months ago.

timifakay:
Had to put groom in the statement due to the way some ladies make it sound like it's possible to hold the event without one,..

no, its not possible.


never mind the staged photoshoots.

he's referring to 2016.

hope he'll return after sorting it out.

I can see the frenzy building up.

.

scholes0:
Why do you say so?

because I checked the first page and he seems to be the op?

A headline saying Pastor Kumuyi visited Osun state?

are indigenes of the state now visitors?

Oh, shymexx is the op?

scholes0:
I personally prefer Kpomo to Pomo
How can you spell the "Gb" sound correctly , then spell the Kp sund as just "p" ?

'Kp' exists in the Yoruba alphabets, not sure why it was removed, cause it makes no sense.
Ppepeye' used to be 'Kpekpeye', and 'Pako' used to be 'Kpako'.

If a non-yoruba sees something spelled wrongly he/she would pronounce it wrongly as well.

not everything is meant for argument.

you are being corrected: learn.

Didnt know he was still at NTA.

.

This thread again?

Are they that way intentionally?

Why not just attempt to answer the op's question?

it appears to be a genuine enquiry.

.

Some folks seem to be sensitive about their ethnicity, hence the question.

Did you tell the bank, why are you telling strangers on nairaland?

Is your name iyanya?
