    Ooow, I love your storytelling approach, and we were taught songs about Togbui Agokoli in the 70s and 80s. Kudos! The ewe people who migrated to Togo have now increased the population, which makes 60% of Togo. Hence, many Ghanaians think that Togo mainly comprises Ewe's, 💯 wrong. There are other tribes. eg. The Kable, the Kotokoli and few others who are non ewe speakers. Which means they have their own dilect however some of them can speak the ewe.

    I like your presentation and composure but the story told sharply contradicts our history of migration as Ewes. Let me draw your attention to few facts. 1. The Ewes were not led by Torgbi Tsali. The man called Tsali was not part of the mass exodus let alone to lead them. 2. Torgbi Agorkoli was not a ruler of all Ewes, he was rather the ruler of Nortsi(one of the three kingdoms of the Ewes). 3. The figure you call Torgbi Tsali was probarly a young man in his teens and was never in position to give direction nor advice. I am open for detailed engagement on the subject matter to iron out the distortions.

    My only sister, who also happens to be my loving mother's only daughter and the gold of five male siblings was born after mom had prayed to The Almighty God for a girl child for a very long time. She is also named Aku Shika due to her glowing beauty. "NAA AKU SHIKA" as we call her could not speak upon all her beauty. She had passed the stage at which my siblins and I started speaking or talking, mom would say in great worry anytime Shika made her usual sounds as though she was talking. Glory to GOD my Beautiful Sister Naa Aku Shika started speaking/talking at age four and that brought the whole family some great joy. She is now in her final year in the Senior High School. This story is similar to ours, though we have been favoured by The Almighty to have not come across any tragedies as AKU SIKA's. Thank you Nana and please do more of this! i loved it so much!
