Now, this is a very inspiring story, the key to happy living is to realize that there is more to life than drowning one's self in power. Here is a man who has been given a position am very sure a lot of people will kill to be in, but rather than throw away that which he does that give him joy and fulfillment because of the position, he rather combines the two and devises a means to make sure the both are well and equally tendered to.

King Togbe Ngoryifia Cephas Kosi Bansah who is 67 years old, might be the superior and spiritual chief of Ewe people of Gbi kingdom in Eastern Ghana but in Germany where he stays mostly he chose to live the life of a simple man and work as a mechanic and governs his people over Skype. He is pictured at his mechanic workshop in Germany below.

Céphas grew up in Ghana but he moved to Germany in 1970 before he was appointed king. His kingdom consists of 300,000 Ewe people. He originally moved to Germany when his grandfather, the then king, encouraged him to train there as a mechanic.

After finishing his studies and gaining full citizenship, he settled and set up his own garage in Ludwigshafen. He continued living a peaceful life until 1987 when he received a Fax which would change his life forever. His grandfather, the King of Hohoe, had died and Bansah's father and eldest brother were deemed unfit to rule because they were left-handed, which the Ewe people considered to be 'unclean'. This meant that Céphas was his grandfather's successor, and the new king.

He now lives in Ludwigshafen with his wife Gabriele Bansah, 57 and his two children Carlo and Katharina, continuing his job as a mechanic and his role as King. He uses Skype to govern his people and still visits Ghana up to eight times per year. Meanwhile, check out the gold he adorned himself him!

This is a very stupid king and a stupid post. There is nothing modern about it and it is important to stop being shallow about stuff. Royalty is a symbol of sovereignty of his people . He cannot be holding a paid job abroad and symbolise the independence and Sovereign identity of his people. This is colonial mentality on steroids. What if he stays back in his palace and sets up or chairs NGOs targeting the welfare of his people in education, Infrastructure and health, won't that be better?

in Ghana, royalty is not a job and it is not a paid job. It's a right when it falls on you and you do it as a duty
