Totally mad I missed the opportunity to make a "Order Lomé-ein To-go" joke in the food section. Oh well.
This was an episode I had to do on-location. Togo has something very unique happening right now, and (despite the incredibly frustrating bureaucratic registrations and getting arrested for flying a drone) I had such an amazing time and saw the huge potential this small country has to thrive. Plus I totally ran crossed the narrowest (Accessible) Salient in Africa. HUGE thanks to Gilles for everything!
I love your videos so much and when I’m older I want to be a Geography teacher!
hi
Ok
Hi
Ily
As a Slovak person, I never knew about Czechoslovakia trying to ''colonize'' Togo. That is absolutely crazy lol
So the d!rty mind of Western Europe came to the mind of Chekoslovakiya as well
Seriously though how could a landlocked country logistically colonize somewhere so far away
Yeah 😂 it’s like of Belgium tried to colonize the drc………. oh
@@sameeknowsitall Belguim had backups from France and UK ( I mean Prince Leopold 2 ).
tos nevěděl ... jak? To prostě musíš vědět 😂😂
I’m a Ghanaian-American, and I always saw Togo as a cool place to visit because it’s right on the east of Ghana.But about 4 years ago I found out that my great grandmother on my dad’s mom’s side, was Togolese. So what happened was, my Great grandfather was Ghanaian and my great grandmother was Togolese. They had my grandmother, that made her half Togolese. She had my dad, that makes him a quarter Togolese. Then my sisters and I came along, and that made us an eighth Togolese. Thank you Geography Now 🇬🇭 🇹🇬
❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰
Ghana means dense in our local language. Although it is pronounced without aa sound after h. Mostly used for hair that are dense like to say ghana hair. I havent been able to find a way to memorise Ghana's flag
Thanks Barbs.. you’re one of the most original and educational content creators out there and I’ve been following you since the beginning. Thanks for all you do and for inspiring many others (including myself) to begin their own journeys in educational and fun content creation. ÁNIMO!
Ive been subscribed since the Algeria Episode, is their anyone earlier than me?
@@Michael19901 probably
Loved your 10 key reasons for leaving the USA video.
@@Michael19901 I've been subscribed to Geography Now since August 31/2015.
Togo's most famous son, Emmanuel Adebayor, has the best celebration in football history - when he scored for Man City v Arsenal (his old team) he ran the whole length of the pitch to celebrate in front of the Arsenal fans, who had been shouting abuse at him all game - well worth a watch if you haven't seen it...
Geniunely one of the funniest football celebrations ever
The GOAT celebration. Absolute shithousery
I love Paul speaking French, I speak French, English and Dutch and it is hilarious to hear English speaking people speak French. But he did it very good! Good job Barbs! Greets from Belgium!
Puisque vous parlez néerlandais et français, je suppose que vous êtes belge, n'est-ce pas ?
@@GeographyNow Haha, oui, je habite en Flandres, mais je puisse bien parler la langue française. Daarnaast kan ik ook heel erg goed Nederlands, aangezien dat men moedertaal is. And then I do speak English very well, due to you, because I learned my English by watching GN and other English YT-channels. XD
@@jarnebarrette1882 Goed gedaan! Groetjes uit Nederland! :)
i also speak French as well as Greek and English

I've been long amazed at the political and geographic makeup changes that have existed during the past 50 years in Africa. I'm happy to hear Togo seems to be doing well and living free and independent.
It's part of the CFA it's hardly independent
Unfortunately no African country is yet truly free
"independent" countries don't actually exist Africa has been set up to be entirely dependent on the west
The french should return, croissants and bageuttes are good and all but where are the frogs legs and snails
@@5C2WMedia Botswana says Hi
i remember the 3 neighboring countries by thinking of the phrase "I'm ghana togo to benin" not perfect but helps me, also the shape of the countries look like their name.
Im dead 💀
“I’m going to to go to Benin” 💀
this is so funny
I’m 🇬🇭🇹🇬 Ghanaian and Togolese
A Togolese here! I'm from the Central Parts, Sokode (6 Carrefour) to be exact. And you didn't add Adossa-Gadao as one of the festivals! I"ve actually tried to participate in one of its event where they would slash and rub a sword on their stomachs(after lathering it with herbs) to show off their power, similar to the Fire Dance(Which is something I actually haven't heard of from where I live).
Ohter than that, I learned more about my country from this video than I expected lol. Though that one that bothered me was how foods were pronounced...
Were the foods mispronounced or what? Isn't the girl talking about the food a native speaker?
One thing i wonder is if you ever entertain the thought to join Benin and Togo together to create a single country. They seem to share a lot of history culture and such,is it an idea there or it is just me?
As a Chinese not only I find this country stunningly gorgeous but every time the video mentioned the capital Lomé I can’t help but giggle (lo mein) lmao
As an Indonesian, I can’t help giggle when they say Ewe. It’s a very rude and taboo word here.
@@RyuFah minus the prefix "ng" 😂
Yea, in Cantonese it’s even more similar to the vulgar word “老味” (Lou mei) which is a replacement of the vulgar word for mother (老母)
You should visit then.
@@RyuFah ewe is the name of a ethnic groups ! It is not rude at all !

What separates Paul from other content creators is his depth. Depth of research, depth of relationships, depth of information, depth of respect all while keeping a light, fun, fast-paced, breezy tone. He could so easily mail it in on the small, obscure African countries and other remote places but this is actually where he and his channel shine brightest. Most Western people (including myself) know next to nothing about Togo, so these videos really are an introduction to an entire country and its complex and varied culture, physical landscape, political structure and international standing. So excited to see he's near 3 million subscribers. He's WORKED for every last one, never resorting to gimmicks and drama to build his brand. Rock on, Barbs!
Ehh not really. His earlier episodes were better in terms of content.
Yeah, I agree, sad that the lesser-known countries get fewer views, compared to Sweden, Spain etc. I find the lesser-known more interesting, because you know almost nothing about them.
We love hibiscus in Mexico too!! We call it "agua de jamaica", it's very refreshing! Hahah I'm so excited cause Mexico and Togo has something in common cause I've always been fascinated by Togo and all of Africa! I'd loooooooooove to visit all of those beautiful places and eat those fabulous looking foods 😋
Much love! 🇲🇽 🇹🇬
As a togolese we sure look forward to see you soon at our place. Love to you too🇲🇽🇹🇬❤️
A toast for Hibiscus and cultural sharing
As a person from Trinidad I love my soca don’t take it from
Im Nigerian but love Togo. Been there a couple of times. Barb you forgot the street food. The bagette with the yummy filling inside, I love the bars yes and you can buy books almost anywhere. They love to to go school a lot and are very hardworking people. Cleaners would be up as early as 5am sweeping the streets. The 🍍 is to die for. The specie is rare and sweet. Yams a huge and the 🍅 red and fresh. I love the food too.
So surprised that Togo has a lot in common with Rwanda. Like the ethic of building a house instead of flaunting riches, the many, many bars and the business area

So ~600-800 days left until the finale, give or take a few months
We should be done in less than 2 years 💃
Barbs plans to do the countries not recognised by the UN like Taiwan and Kosovo sometime in the near future
Not much to include in the Vatican episode
i'm really interested in geography. i've went and watched all geography now episodes. i have been having a tough time recently and right when watching this its made me feel way better
Barbs always makes me feel better, too! 😍
His content is very genuine.
Honestly this is a pretty long episode, can I take it TOGO? The puns are to great to resist. Great episode! Love what you guys are doing!
🤛🏾PUNCH SOUND EFFECT
Ayyyeeee Togo… great country and lovely people. Ghana will always love Togo
❤❤❤
Glad Togo is seeing so much progress. Love from🇺🇸
Wow I've learned so much about Togo, it's a really beautiful country 😍 ♥️🇹🇬♥️

I'm french and ivorian but i was born and grew up there this is really a great place

I've met some Togolese people when I visited Paris back in 2018. There's a massive Togolese community in that city! Very nice, friendly and hospitable people... I wish to learn more about their culture. Love from US.
Lagos isn't the busiest shipping port in West Africa. Consider my mind blown 🤯.
I did a project on tog in the seventh grade and learned so much about this wonderful nation. I’m so glad you are able to share the wonders of this country
Africa has some super amazing people and this place is no exception. I want to see the entirety of Africa become even more of a juggernaut on the world stage, the people deserve it.
Gilles did a fantastic job and made a great addition to the episode, good job guys!
Fantastic video, loved seeing you visiting the county before the episode. Your videos are always exceptional but when you visit it goes to anothe level.
Been following this channel for almost 4 years now , and Tunisia is almost up and i honestly can't wait !
Keep up the good work and keep making us more knowledgeable about different places around the world !
same goes for me with Turkey, i also anticipate for the Tunisian episode of course 🙌🏻
Its always great having a person who lives in each country they do get into the video to show what it's like to live there. Always great work and real educational. Cheers.
This channel is truly amazing and educational. It's always nice to see countries that are less seen by the eyes of the world and to learn about their culture and history. Giles seems very humble and kind
Much love from France, it's nice to hear you speak French, you definitely have practiced it, your accent is very good !
Togo has one of my favorite flags
my new favorite episode, it made me want to visit togo so badly. thank you for everything you do, this is amazing content and great information.
Yes! I was waiting for this episode of Togo for weeks! Thank you Barbs for the upload.
very informative! Waiting with anticipation for the 🇹🇴 Tonga episode
Togo is an awesome country and a great hidden gem on Earth. Much love and respect too the people of Togo from Iraq
I agree with you much
Love this channel !!! what a surprise to see a video at the exact same time i am travelling to Togo with my bike
Super fun episode! Thank you!
Can you make a filler week episode on how these West African alliance thingys work?
I'm learning French, so I can go to Togo, to follow the steps of my favorite TH-camrs Paul and PPPeter.
Another great episode.. love my Togolese people!
Best channel about Geography. I love your channel Barbs. So, keep up the good work. Love your channel's content.
Big up brother Gilles and it's a honour to be togolese native. May God blessed our precious and beautifull country.
Merci Christian! Big up!
Love Togo from Brazil 🇧🇷♡🇹🇬
Togo was the first flag I could draw perfectly & I was only 5 years old.
Your explanations makes it easier to understand ❤️💯
love that you actually went to Togo to film this episode! very authentic and immersive
Keith is precious
Togo is a super underrated country tbh it’s like the Oman of Africa.

Never in my life did i think i'd be seeing someone making a video about my Country😭😭. Though small, the land is beautiful with many diverse and amazing cultures just like any Country. Unfortunately tho, it's underdeveloped, the government is absolute trash, and the people themselves can sometimes be disappointing. Which is why you would find some things to be a bit disorganized and all over the place. It's frustrating for those of us abroad as well😭. The drone thing is new, it's simply because of all the coup d'états that have been happing in that area. Since we have a dictator, he obviously fears his position, sorry on their behalf. It makes me sad but i still love my Country to bits. Thank you very much for this video🤍
I think one of my personal favorite foods comes from our many corn to peanut combinations😩. Aboɖa which is boiled corn and peanuts, there are also fried and baked versions. And I know this is iffy, but when comes to what the "president" has done, there's not much. Internet sucks you can't talk to someone properly without the internet checking out at least once every 5 minutes. Trade? sure, roads? only benefits the upper class which is mostly only politicians and a few and i mean FEW entertainment personalities.
Also just a correction, Ewe people aren't Bantu, we're an Ethnic group just like the Akan and Bantu peoples and just like them we have different tribes and belong to different language groups. Bantu people are in the south and central regions of Africa, while we orginate mostly in the northeast
Hi, did Ewe originally come from Nigeria?
Love togo from india ❤️
@@jahmoxie5120 No

My favorite dish is Attieke 😩. Love it
I did not know about Togo! I loved it! Thank you 😊
Seen Arka'n Asrafokor yesterday on stage in Switzerland and they are definitely awesome!
Even my friends who are not in metal did really enjoy it!
During when I was a teenager, my parish had a group of friars serve there for a few years. During this time one friar briefly visited from Togo. He was a kind fellow and one day toward the end of his stay gave a lesson in my AP Human Geography class (I went to a school run by my church) where he talked about growing up in Togo and learning languages (I remember he mentioned the Ewe language in particular; dunno if that was his native language or one he learned) and later also about continued French involvement in Togolese affairs.
Anyway best wishes to Togo and its citizens from here in the US
I swear barbs makes better and better episodes like I actually appreciate all the work he puts in 🔥
Great episode! Well done Gilles.
Cannot wait for TONGA TIME!
Finally! Been waiting for years for the Togo episode
How many times “Togo is a small country” was mentioned? Hello! Togo is bigger than Denmark (mainland), The Netherlands or Switzerland. There’s nothing small on it.
you know what they meant. IN AFRICA
I really like this episode, Togo seems very interesting and the food looks so good.
This was quite a great video on my native country. It's refreshing to see a good representation of my people.
This was my favourite African country episode! Good work! Merci!
I’ve always had an interest in Togo ever since i saw them on TV get their first Olympic medal
I remember watching as a kid, a German kid's channel on TV called literally "Togo"
From there I got interested in the country Togo 🇹🇬
Loved the episode 👌. Looking forward TONGA 🇹🇴
so crazy how great this video was, simply quality man
Thanks a lot guys. I wanna go home right now after seeing the video.. +228 always in my heart 🇹🇬
Mr Dskfl on t'attend au pays hein! 😁🇹🇬
I think after u do every country u should do some remastered episodes like Australia which needs more screen time ❤ love from sydney aus 💜
גם ישראל צריכה עוד סרטון!
(אנחנו מדינה מורכבת והוא לא הצליח לעבור על כל הנושאים)
@@yehoelelkinisrael To explain, the guy above me suggests the same for the Israel episode aswell
Its true
The australian episode lasts like 10 minutes that is nothing for a very big country and that is too short
At the beginning he had no experience and the episodes were not so long

Thank you geography now
Huge fan of this channel
The Togolese's accent in French is a lot easier to understand some other accents in French. I like their accent.
Been waiting for this episode for my whole life 😩 finally 🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬 ❤💚💛
Mr Sam!! Thanks for the support 🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬🇹🇬
I lived in Togo for 1 year as a missionary (another year in Benin), and I've been waiting for you to do this video since I got back in 2018! Mawu ne fo mi!

Bravo Barb 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 ton français s’améliore à chaque nouvelle vidéo! I hope you continue to visit our continent 🙂 once again wonderful episode! 🥳
Love Togo, I've had the opportunity to go to Togo three times now. It is an amazing place with amazing people. I'm curious did you get a chance to visit the Nok caves in the north? It has a sad history but interesting history and it is a beautiful place.
Here's some Canadian tennis love: current world #10 Félix Auger-Aliassime's father was born in Togo. Félix even has a charity to benefit education there.
love the dedication nice vid
Thanks for your work so much
Hey I love watching your channel I love geography
Wow! I haven’t watched Geography Now in SOOO LONG, but your production, Paul and team has gotten SO MUCH BETTER since I started watching three or four years ago! Geography Now is my “go-to” episode to learn about Togo. *(Meh, I tried)* 🤭
Barbs visiting really added to the content
Well done!
love your show-thx!
Although he has been in Benin, he must go to Togo. Maybe later, he is gonna go to Ghana.
I have always wanted to visit Togo
Love Togo from Jamaica
In Togo ,you can find mosque or church next to the bar. So unique.
