So you see what I've been doing for you guys, man, risking my life just to go and see the beautiful Togo Ville that all of you want to know about. When you talk of Togo, talk about history, culture, and what else? The beautiful people. And today we're going to learn about the origination of the country, Togo. Hiya, hiya. I think you have Togo Ville, you know? Like, this is where you're telling me that I need to visit before I do anything here in Togo. What is so special about this place? You know what?

But I just want to know what is so unique about Togo Ville? Because everyone is telling me to come visit this place. Why? So, this is one of the important places of the whole Togo. Wow. Because all start from here. Yeah, because... Yeah, before it was a kingdom. Okay. So, the name of Togo comes from here. Okay. Because before they said Togo, it is now a local language, a well language. A well language. Which means under the mountain. Mountain. By that time, there was the Germans. So, they cannot say the word Togo. So, they said Togo starts in German language. So, at that time, Togo was colonized by... By the Germans, yeah, yeah, yeah. Before the French came. The French people. Yeah, it is after the First War, come the French people. Okay. So, then they changed the name Togo starts into Togo Ville. Because start, it means in French, Ville. Ville. Yeah, and they say Togo Ville. Yeah. So, it is the name Togo, they give to the country Togo Togo. So, that's why people used to say Togo Togo, yeah. So, which means the entire country got its name from here. From here, yeah, from here. That's why everyone is telling me to come in here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Wow. So, you know what? You have to take us around, show us all we need to know. What makes this place so special? Yeah, this is the monument of conflict of generation. You see, so this is the old man and this is the young man. So, the old man is giving advice to the young man, yeah. And you see, it was built in 1982 to give advice to youth people in the village here. Because in that time, they say that people are not listened to the old people. So, that's why they built this monument, especially to teach young people how to respect people who are old. So, which means even right now, the young people in here are respecting the old. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, that's why sometimes they call the children here, then they give them advice how to respect people who are old, yeah, yeah. And then, this one is using this tool. Like he's using this tool. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, and you see, this is new generation. Yeah, new generation, yeah. Dressing, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the Catholic Church? Yeah, Catholic Church, yeah. But what? Built by the German in 1910. Built by the German? Built by the German, yeah. You know, what I actually read was that this place is a sacred place. It's a sacred place, yeah. I mean, a sacred place, how come you have the Catholic Church also in here? Yeah, because, you know, when they brought the Catholic religion, it was not accepted. Okay. So, there was a fight in between the two religions. Okay. But finally, they accept the Catholic like a second religion. Okay. Even what is the very important is that in 1985, the Pope John Paul II, so he came here. He came here? Yeah. And when he came here, there's a lot of people. And he was welcomed by the Vodou priest who make a ceremony to welcome the Pope here. Oh, so the main religion that is here is the Vodou? Yeah. And right now they have the Catholic Church also in here. So, which means that we have two religions in here, the Vodou and Catholic. No Muslims in here. No, no, no, no. Only two religions, Catholic and Vodou. Yeah, yeah. So, when the Pope came here, there's a lot of people. So, he decided to make the church outside here. Yeah. When he came, he decided to make the church outside here. Because of the inside? Because there's a lot of people. A lot of people. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, you have here the dates of the building. Oh, okay. 1910 year by the Germans. Wow. Yeah. Wow. And when the Pope came here, so he asked the Togo government that this place must be the first pilgrimage place of all the country. So, that's why every November, there's the pilgrims come here for service here. Yeah. And for reason why the Pope came here, because in 1940, they saw the Virgin Mary on the lake. Yeah. So, the Virgin Mary appeared on the lake. Yeah. So, it is the way she appeared. Is that the painting of the podium over there? You see? Wow. Yeah. Wow. So, that's how she appeared. She appeared, yeah, is that? Is that? Yeah. And who, like the artist drew? Drawed the way, yeah. Because in that time, there was a painter. So, he draw what he saw. Oh, what he saw? Yeah. Oh, that's why the Pope came here. Brother, like, what is this? Like, I don't read French, but I've seen some people like... Yeah. No, the buffoon allowed. Yeah. During the service, when they make church, yeah. So, you have to... So, it's not allowed to dress like this and come to the church, yeah. Stop. Don't look at me like that. Look, hey, we don't qualify to be here. Don't look at me like that. I'm sorry. See, from head to toe, we don't qualify to be here. You know what? So, we have to start. Yeah. And we continue to be here. And yeah, when they have a small service, so they do it inside here, yeah. And you see all these saints, the saints on the wall, they are African saints. So, they are the people we call them, Matir de Luganda. They are Matir of Uganda, yeah. So, they are those people who sacrifice their life for freedom of Catholic. Yeah. So, if you read under the pictures, it's just the way they kill them. Is that the right hand of the pictures, yeah. They died? Yeah, they died because they don't... It's not allowed to practice Catholicism in that time. But those people, not here, in Uganda. Uganda. Matir de Luganda? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, but those people want to practice and then they kill them. Yeah, yeah. You have here, in 1973, for the introduction of this place, so the pope, he sent the picture of the Virgin Mary to show to the villages. So, you have here, this is the boat which brought the picture here. In the beginning, it was a wood. But there are some Catholic people, they come here and they have a piece of the wood because it's something holy. So, finally, they make cement around the rice to show to the visitors. So, if you knock, you'll see that there's a wood inside here. Because in the time that she appeared on the lake, for people here, they don't believe that it's the Virgin Mary because they don't know anything about the Virgin Mary. Because they only have voodoo religion. Yeah, but in that time when the paints draw what he saw, they post it to the pope. So, he finally confirmed that it is the Virgin Mary by sending his picture here. So, you have here the original boat which brought that picture here. So, we are going to see the picture inside here. And you have the picture that the pope sends. Yeah. Now, we are going to see the first wall of the village built in 1910. Same years as the church. Same years as the church, yeah. They use the same wall to build the church. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because in the moment they built the church, it's dry season. So, the water of the lake is salty. So, this is the place to find the water to build the church. So, that's why they have the same date, 1910. And the church also 1910. WFR. Yes. They are still using people's water here. Oh, my God, this is so deep. Look at this. She makes the water. Oh, my God. This is... Manj. So, this is the market place. And so, every Wednesday, they make the market here. Oh, this is what you are talking about. The butter trade. Yeah, the butter trade, yeah. Okay, so the exchange fish and the agricultural service, yeah. You know what I wanted, like... Come, come. No. Come, come. No, I'm not in that. I wanted to go for some butter trade. I give her and then maybe I take some fishes because I love food. No. Okay. So, you have here, this is the monument of friendship between the Germans and Togoliz. Because their friendship started in 1884 when they signed the treaty. This is one of the treaties signed between the chief of year, Napa the third, and Gustav Nashtegar, he is a German. Yeah, for the protection of the German people in Togoliz. But they have done this one in 1884 for the hundreds of friendship. So, if you look on the monument, we have one woman of German and one Togoliz. The bed is a sign of peace. So, when they have some manifestation, they put one flag of German here and one flag of Togoliz. Because every 5th July, there's a manifestation in the village here to remember the German people. Yeah. So, can you show me which one is German and which one is Togoliz? Which one is German and which one is Togoliz? Togoliz, yeah. You know, African Zobub, so, definitely I would say this one is Togoliz. No, I would say the same. And you? I would say that this is the Togoliz and... And why you say that this one is Togoliz? I'm saying Togoliz because, you know, one way African women got everything. So, she got everything and everything. And also the hairstyle. The hairstyle. And the way they dress, because I've seen the Togoliz people, like most of them, they cover their whole body. Yeah. And you? First, because of the nose, her nose. Yeah. And then the way she... She dress, yeah. Okay, so you win, yeah. Yeah, I won. Yeah, you see? If you take the nose, you see? So, the one on right is Togoliz and the one on left is German. You see the way she dressed? Yeah. Okay, so now we are going back to the Voodoo site to visit some Voodoo, yeah.
