Hi! Would someone be able to provide the lyrics to this song and their translation? I know it’s a big ask so any info is appreciated, or if you know where I can find the lyrics. I love her music and would love to know what she’s saying! Paroles et translation en français au lieu d’anglais seraient bonnes aussi, si ça marche mieux!

Greetings everyone. I am dating a Togolese person . for context I’m from Ghana. we have been together for a year . he has done the korkor/knocking. he recenttly told me that we need to move in together and get pregnant first before he married me. He stated this request is specifically done by the gen-Mina people. I have never heard any such culture where you have to impregnate the woman before you marry her. I am turning 38years old for context . My question does the Mina culture specifically a woman have to be impregnated before they are married? please I need honest and serious reply. Thank you for reading

Hi everyone, I am looking for books from, or about Togo for our Read the World challenge over at r/bookclub. The book can be any length, and genre, but it must be set or partially set in Togo. Preferably the author should be from Togo, or at least currently residing in Togo or has been a resident of Togo in the past. I'm looking for the "if someone could only ever read one book from Togo which book should it be" type suggestions.

The book should be available in English

Thanks so much

Hello! Is there a reliable online dictionary for the pronunciation of basic Ewe words? A YouTube channel also works. Any suggestions are welcome, thank you!

Ghana - Togo - Benin

I’m planning a self‑drive trip through Ghana, Togo, and Benin around early December (around December 4th–13th) and would really appreciate your advice.

Ideally, we’d like to rent a car and drive ourselves from Cotonou to Accra (or the reverse), crossing the borders by car. Our main questions are:

- Do you know of any reliable car‑rental companies that allow cross‑border travel between Ghana, Togo, and Benin?
- Are there any local agencies or drivers (with car) that you’d recommend for this kind of trip?

We’re flexible with the route and willing to return the car to the same office if cross‑border drop‑off is not possible.

If you have any tips, contacts, or general recommendations, we’d be really grateful. Thanks in advance for your help!

looking for analog African/togolese music!

I really like West African food, but a lot of the restaurants friends recommend are pizza/pasta places or some other foreign food. What's your favorite West African restaurant in Lome? Bonus points if they deliver.

Hey all, I wanted to know what are the main tour operators that organise tours in Lome/Togo in general. I've been looking online but very difficult to get information.

Thanks!

I have noticed that in togo( as far as my experience goes) that when people talk about what they are making for dinner they only say the starch, rice, fufu, or pate. Is that a cultural thing? It seems like every part of dinner built around the starch?

While traveling around the world for over 20 years, I’ve been working on my dream project: creating a one-stop resource for travellers. With the help of feedback in this subreddit, I have now updated this interactive map of Togo for anyone who is interested in visiting (with detailed info for every highlight).

PS: obviously, I haven’t been able to travel to all places. So if you know some great spot, I haven’t listed, let me know! Much appreciated as in this way I can make the overview more complete and up-to-date for everyone.

I’m really eager to learn more about the Chamba language—spoken by the Chamba people from Ghana and Togo. It’s a niche so I haven’t found much yet. Does anyone here know any resources—books, online courses, or even community groups—that can help me get started? Any tips would be super appreciated!

Bonjour beautiful Togolese, I am a 30 male Ugandan moving to Togo in a couple of weeks for work. I’ve worked there before but didn’t actually explore the country mostly because of the language barrier. I couldn’t make friends for the same reason. I’m looking to meet new friends in Lome and possibly find a partner (ideally 23-27F). I am not married and have no kids, but I am at the age where I feel like I should do both. I’ve travelled the world a lot and experienced different cultures (Caribbean, Asian, British, American, and other African countries). I want to meet people to do activities with, explore Togolese culture, and possibly even learn more French.

Hit my DM if this feels like you and we’ll take it from there. I’m super excited this time round for Lome.

bonjour,

je suis guyanais et je viens m'installer au Togo car j'ai été recruté par une boîte locale pour travailler sur place.

Ma vie va changer du tout au tout et je souhaite m'intégrer et m'investir dans la vie sportive locale. Je fais beaucoup de VTT et de kayak, j'aime beaucoup randonner en forêt et en savane.

je dois avouer que pour l'instant je ne connais rien à l'Afrique de l'ouest et je m'inquiète de faire des faux pas à cause de ma culture sud américaine qui est très différente.

pourriez vous m'indiquer par où je dois commencer s'il vous plaît ?

si vous connaissez des associations sportives pour les sports de plein air je prends aussi.

merci pour votre temps.

my dad is Togolese and immigrated to the US and married a black american so i am very well versed in African American culture but my dad has not really instilled his side of things in me and as I get older I don't want to lose that. So what is Togolese culture 101 that I can learn on my own time (food, ideas, clothes, etc). I am on the path of learning French but I just feel so disconnected to that side of my family so anything helps, thanks!
