Togo Produces - Tips
Hello Gary,
MOTO or Motorcycle
Taxi:
I would buy a Moto, however I do not
know how to get across borders. I think crossing border is more of a pain, then
just riding on the back. Crossing borders of
countries is difficult, getting a license plate in another country could take a
month. However, to buy one is easy.
WHAT doe Togo Produce of
Value:
Of the top of my head, I would say nothing, maybe
this nut called Koala, or something, they say the make Coca Cola with it, I know
it is shipped from Togo to Ivory Coast.
What is produced the most is charcoal, or they take
wood and burn it and make charcoal. There are no factories here, in Ghana I
think, for sure in Nigeria. I would say Togo is Eden.
You can eat off a tree and never work, food grows too
easy, and nobody needs anything. The clothing made here is not to wear, it is to
use on Sunday to church or to get Married. A person making clothes a girl will
earn 8 dollars per month.
I have never seen a place so full of natural wealth
as Africa, they seem to just live off the land. Their needs are met too easily,
their wants are a portable phone, TV, beer, and maybe a motorcycle if rich. They
buy or have to pay money to have a girl, girls trade sex and love for small
gifts. Everything is small, every price is small, very few people every travel
more than 50 miles. School cost and they work hard to pay for school.
Eden, there is no need for hard work or diligent
work. I see almost zero beggars, however with me, all people are beggars, they
do not turn down a chance to ask for something for nothing. Being a bully is
profitable here, as a angry bully and the people would just pay or give to shut
them up.
Amazing culture, I have never seen a country with
less need or motivation for work.
The land is to me like a flat Georgia or the USA, I
think you can grow about anything you want, lots of water. Somewhere here they
mine potassium.
