The Ewe Leader Who Came Back Riding On Crocodile, After Being Thr.ow.n Into River

Togbe Tsali, a revered figure in Anlo history, was known for his supernatural powers and was a member of the Tsiame royal clan in what is now the Volta Region. He lived during the oppressive rule of King Agorkoli at Notsie. Distressed by the king's cruelty, Togbe Tsali decided to lead some of the people to a new land, Eweland. Transforming into a flying spirit, he surveyed the area and upon his return, assured the people that the land was fertile and suitable for settlement. They agreed to flee under the cover of night, wetting the ground to eliminate any trace of dust that might reveal their escape.

When King Agorkoli discovered their departure, he sent his soldiers to retrieve them. Togbe Tsali, using his powers, confused the soldiers by instructing the people to walk backward, making it impossible for the soldiers to determine their direction. In another version of the story, Tsali transformed into a mouse and altered their footprints to mislead the soldiers.

Upon reaching Eweland, Tsali took up farming and hunting. Using his powers, he cleared a vast area of land in a single day, summoned rain, and planted maize that grew and was harvested all within the same day. Since no rain fell on other farms, the people were forced to buy food from Tsali, causing resentment among them. This dissatisfaction led to a plot to 'off' him.

He was captured and bu.rie.d, but three days later, he was seen walking around as if nothing had happened. Astonished, the people captured him again, cu.t hi.m into t.wo, tied stones to his body, and thr.ew hi.m into the River Volta. Yet, three days later, Tsali reappeared, riding a crocodile on the river. He declared that no one born of a woman could end him.

This event improved his relationship with the people, and he began using his powers for their benefit. Before his de.at.h, Tsali instructed the people to build two shrines in his memory, where they could call on him in times of need.

These shrines still stand in the Volta Region today, where the faithful continue to seek his guidance during difficult times.
