TOGBE TSALI Togbe Tsali was an Anlo from the Tsiame Clan. He was believed to posses mystical powers. His Ancestral Background can be traced to Hogbe (Jotsie). He led the Anlo's to escape from cruel King Agorkoli of Notsie in Benin. He was a great hunter who went to spy the Eweland which was not occupied by anybody and returned to convince the Agbogbome people at Notsie to settle there after they escaped from the cruel and unjust king Agorkoli, but he did not do this alone he did it with other brave hunters which had supernatural powers. They changed themselves into flying spirits. When Tsali saw that Agorkoli's Warriors were chasing him he turned the footprints of his people backward and also, changed himself into a mouse and crawled to his people's footprints to make them look like ancient foot prints. When they got to the peak of the Agu hills in Aguto near Agome Kpalime he left a covered calabash which opens and closes up to this day He was a farmer and a hunter by profession he used a mystery hoe to clear a forest caused it to rain on his farm planted corn, harvested the dry corn and stored it on the same day. He was able to prevent rain from falling on other people's farms in the village, hence, people bought grains from his farm. His people decided to take his life, so they arrested him, tied him up by his hands and feet cut him into pieces and buried him. He resurrected on the third day, seen sitting in-front of his house smoking his pipe(tabaduko) in the second attempt he was tied up with heavy rocks and drowned in the lower Volta. He resurrected on the forth day and was seen sited on the back of a crocodile holding the rocks. When Tsali was about to die he announced to everyone.
