- Togo is one of the smallest countries in Africa and the 123rd in the world by size.
It enjoys a relatively good standard of living compared to other countries on the continent, thanks to its natural resources. But it is a given fact that whatever credit given the country is due to its diverse people who are comprised of several ethnic groups
Tado and mina are still Ewes and are no different, Tado was the ancient place for Ewes before spreading to their various settlements, mina are small groups who migrated from Elmina in the gold coast now Ghana to settle among the already Ewe settled people at the coast hence the name mina, mina is just another version of the larger Ewe group. The entire Ewe population from Ghana Togo and Benin stands at 25 million currently. Thanks
People from Elmina are Akans.

@@elikadbry7477 What an answer from an illiterate, lack of ability to argue. Therefore, he uses. Useless comment! This makes you a Kwasia.
Even, some of the other Ewes are Akans who now speak Ewe. An example are the Avatime people.
Why only selected ethnic groups why not all the other ethnic groups does it mean that they're not important or what, like the Bassares, Konkombas, Kotokolis, Bimobas, are left out are they not part of the country?
Ana is Yoruba Ancestry from Ile Ife hearing them talk, sing and dance. I am not sure about Mina and Tado,. I used to think they are all atakpame. and they are immediate neighbours to both Ewe & Kaye may they live long. Now I see why weaving is common among Ewe & Kabye. Neighbors usually share culture. Aso Oke and Kente is the same weaving technics
Mina are Akan people
How can you describe the 'Major ethnic groups in Togo and their peculiarities' when you affirm the following
'It enjoys a good standard of living compare to others countries of the continent thanks to its natural resources'?
In saying Togo 'enjoys a good standard of living compare to others countries of the continent thanks to its natural resources' you provide the proof you have no idea about the reality of Togo, therefore you can't be the one who know the peculiarities of ethnic groups of Togo.
The reality is the natural resources are the key reasons why we the people of Togo must be born, grow and die in a bloody and dynastic tyranny since almost six decades. This isn't enjoy a good standard of living among nations in Africa. This means being part of nations where life, gift of God, is transformed into perpetual condemnation by dictators. This isn't thanks to natural resources rather natural resources, blessings of God has been transformed into concrete and permanent curse. If you don't understand what you are talking about you better shut up and learn rather than affirm non sense.
Go to see what life mean for the people of Togo.
Fofovi thank you for saying this, as much as i'm proud and happy to be born Togolese, people need to stop being prideful and voice out the realities.

The Ewe of Togo is currently it's 5 million and the 2 million is an outdated 2000 cencus
Ready to learn about Tribes in Togo I'd like to know the history how They gained Independence & more 😊😄😊😊
Thank you for this video, there is one important element missing for the kabye people. They are known also as hunters. The young man is initiated only after showing that he is brave enough in hunting.
thank you
You're welcome, Nhaa
Hey guys! Jesus is coming on a day we least expect. So plss use the time you have now to get right with Him and call upon Him, He loves us all💞
Please we are tired of is coming soon . If he want to come he should come ,if he doesn't not , he should stay there.
why is Christianity ignored by the ewe part you described?
Majority of Ewe's are not Christians . Christianity is an imported religion not African or ewe culture.
a correction here@@dani051000 although christianity is indeed not an original ewe cultural thing, still a lot of my ewe friends, and Ife and Fon and, and and.. confirm firstly their relation with the biblical exodus, and are very excited about their faith. and yes after hundreds years of christianising (about 50+% is christian today) one might accept that many Ewe ave made their faith and their ethnicity work together. as example Mawu who is Mawu to both Christian ans voodoo or ancetral worshipper. oh yes and Christianity was in Africa long before europeans accepted Jesus, and long before missions came over. in a way there is a longer african christian History than a west-european.
You did not bring kotokoli
of course not .. they tend to erase the kotokoli from the history ..
Because they are Muslims and not important people.
It is true that Togo is one of the smallest countries in Africa and in the world. But it is not true that there is a 'relatively good standard of living compared to other countries on the continent, thanks to its natural resources.' Anyone who say so, or the person doesn't understand what he or she affirms, or the person is in lies. Because one of the reasons why we the people of Togo are suffering since almost six decades under a bloody dynastic tyranny, is precisely the natural resources. Generations are sacififed for the sake of the dynastic tyranny and for those to whom natural resources profit.
This is not Togo l know
Don't worry. Ghana has accepted the Baasares, Konkomba, Chokosi and Kotokoli and so on. Some of them are enjoying in Ghana Parliament. We accept you. But you hate us and vote against us. Keep on enjoying in the peaceful country Ghana, and stop turning to be criminals.
Where in Togo are the Akan people besides the Mina?

Baasar are left out
My family speaks Mina my
Wrongs
Togo flag looks like french fries laid horizontally while a red hot mocha at the canton says 'I am loving it so here is the white star'.🇹🇬
I must confess this is the useless thing I ever use my data to watch, how come that the Bassare, Kotokolis, Bimobas or chakosi. This is really dishearten, infact you're not fit to be a bloger
