Togo voodoo ready to win world cup Speaking on a BBC breakfast programme Network Africa and monitored in Lagos by nigeriasports.com on Tuesday the chief priest of the Togo voodo, Togbui Assiogbo Gnagblondjro111 said the World Cup was for Togo.The spirits have apparently let it be known that Togo, in their first-ever appearance at the tournament, will overcome Korea Republic and France to qualify for the round of 16. You heard it here first. He did not mince words as he declared "We'll be performing miracles all over the pitch. The ancestral spirits say that Togo will go far in this World Cup," insists Togbui Assiogbo Gnagblondjro III, chief voodoo priest of Togo'. In his village of Vogan, 45 kilometres from Lome, the priest has already foreseen that the West Africans will defeat Korea Republic and France in the group stage of Germany 2006. He will only be able to predict the scores two days before each match. By then, Togbui Assiogbo Gnagblondjro III will have arrived in Germany with all of his spiritual paraphernalia because, as he explains: "I cannot simply stay in Togo and say that we’ll win. But Togo are going to win!" The priest is not alone in looking to the spirits for support.

A number of mail-order websites have already sold out of the dolls due to unforeseen demand. In Africa, the voodoo priest is a prominent member of several natio national teams almost indispensable in teams especiall from Central and Eastern parts of the continent But their potency has always been questioned by observers who argue that if they were actually effective African countries would have dominated the flagship of world football.Interestingly, no African country has won the 76year old tournament, a jinx the Togolese voodoo chief seems determined to break this time round by Ikpo Igbinoba 0
