Meet The White Woman Who Rules As Queen In Africa

Marie-Claude Lovisa is the only white woman who rules as queen in Africa. She was crowned Queen Mawulolo (“God is great”) about 15 years ago by the people of Togo and rules over Lovisa Kope, a cluster of 11 villages, or 4,000 people in the north of Lome.

The village is made up of mostly locals who make a living by farming or grazing. She has a crown, throne and village named after her by the people of Togo, a West Africa country made up of over 5 million people.

Lovisa revealed in an interview that she traveled to Togo for the first time to spend a few therapeutic weeks in the heat of Lome. But, when she arrived, she fell in love with the country. After her first visit, she quickly returned three months later for another look. Eventually in 2000, she decided relocate to Takpla where she started her humanitarian work.

After her coronation in 2004, she went on a two-week retreat, during which she took part in a whole series of rituals. The village of Takpla was renamed “Lovisa Kope” in her honour during her coronation, which means village of Lovisa, in the Mina language.

“This woman has enchanted us since she arrived here. She has changed so much and we are so proud of her.” said excitedly Teko, a village elder in his 70s as he sipped from a goblet of palm wine in an interview.

“Thanks to this ‘yovo’ (white woman), our children go to school, we are sometimes given free medical care in a health clinic — and the neighboring villages are jealous of us!”, said Ahlonkobagan, one of Teko’s wives...

Unless one wants to ignorantly assume the people of Lovisa Kope are stupid, she must have done something right for them to appoint her king over them and change the name of their village to her name, and I'm certain if natives did half of what she did they too might be honoured!

Can someone please post what she does for this community so we can see if she's truly worth the honour.

This is how Africans were colonized, reorientated and rebranded by Christian and Muslim missionaries.

You see the consequences of colo-mentality today.

The money, culture, food, good and services we use today are those given to us. Try and take any of these away, they will fight you to death.

They will even call you local, uncivilized and crude. Every day they cry to God to pick up their calls and deliver them from "shiitteass" countries their benefactors called them.

Africans are very open minded. White people will rather die before they accept a black man. This is crazy. Lol.
