- [The Agaga Lolo — The Big Cowry](https://nativerut.com/the-agaga-lolo-the-big-cowry/): Every Soul Has Irreplaceable Value There is a proverb among the Ewe people of Ghana that has stayed with me long after my years in the Volta Region ended. It is simple on the surface, yet the more you sit with it, the deeper it goes. “Agaga lolo me ƒle na agaga eve ƒe nu o” One big cowry cannot be used to pay for two cowries. The Cowry Shell _ Africa’s Ancient Currency To understand this proverb fully, you must first understand the cowry shell. Long before paper money, long before coins and banks and digital transactions, the cowry shell […]
- [The Kokolokoko — The Dressed Chicken](https://nativerut.com/the-kokolokoko-the-dressed-chicken/): Every Culture Has Its Own Way — Embrace It There is something quietly brilliant about the way the Ewe people teach their deepest values. They do not write long philosophical texts. They look at everyday life, at the things around them, the food they prepare, the animals they keep and they find wisdom hiding in plain sight. The kokolokoko is one such piece of wisdom. “Du sia du kple efe koklokoko” Every town has its own way of dressing a chicken. What Does It Mean? Every community does things differently. Every culture has its own customs, its own rhythms, its own […]
- [10 Ewe Names That Carry Value and Honour](https://nativerut.com/10-ewe-names-that-carry-value-and-honour/): My days as a young teacher in Adaklu in the year 2012 were among the most intriguing and fascinating of my life. I had made the Volta Region my second home, and among my Ewe family I discovered a people rich in values, wisdom, and honour. One afternoon, while marking my students’ exercise books, something quietly nudged me to pay closer attention to their names. I had always struggled to recall them some were quite a mouthful but that day I slowed down and really looked. The names had a distinct energy to them . I came across Agbemabiase carried by […]

- [The Ewe People of Ghana](https://nativerut.com/the-ewe-people-of-ghana/): The Ewe people are known to have migrated from Notsé in Togo, fleeing the oppressive rule of King Agorkorli — a notorious chief who burdened his people so heavily that they had no choice but to escape. According to oral tradition, they left barefooted and walked backwards out of his kingdom, eventually settling near the coastal parts of Ghana in what is today known as the Volta Region. The Ewe people are a communal society with a very strong sense of identity, culture, and belonging. Hospitality If there is one word that defines the Ewe people, it is generosity. I experienced […]
