- "The Anlo Ewe are a sub-group of the Ewe people of approximately 6 million people, inhabiting southern Togo, southern Benin, southwest Nigeria, and south-eastern parts of the Volta Region of Ghana; meanwhile, a majority of Ewe are located in the entire southern half of Togo and southwest Benin. They are a patrilineal society governed by a hierarchal, centralized authority. Their language (self-name Anlogbe) is a dialect of the Ewe language, itself part of the Gbe language cluster. The Ewe religion is centered on a supreme god Mawu and several intermediate divinities. Christianity has now been accepted in every part of Anlo Ewe land and with minority of the people still believing vodun beliefs. The vodun also known as part of the traditional religion is now becoming a previous religion. The youth of the community today accepting Christianity much more. However, those who still believe in the vodoo worship also believes their tradition is a factor that keeps integrity and probity while Christianity stands to pave way for integrity, honesty and probity to be washed away as years go by and it is for this reason they always do away with this Christianity when it comes to issues of accountability." - (en.wikipedia.org 16.12.2021)
