Text: The forgotten village.

My name’s Koto. I live in Parakou but I’m from Tibani. Tibani was a small
village situated in the northern part of Benin. The village was built on the
montains of Birni. It was a quiet place. In that village, people were farmers,
hunters and blacksmiths. Tingui was the traditional doctor. He cured sick
people from their illnesses. SOUNON was the king of the village.

Hunters killed animals such as: monkys, rabbits, partridges, snakes and so on
into the forests and on the Atacora montains. They used traditional guns,
arrows, spears and traps. Farmers grew crops such as yams, cassava,
grandnuts, beans sorghum and millet. They used tools such as hoes and
machetes. Villagers lived in thatched houses. Farmers hept their crops in barns.
The role of town crier was to carry and announce information to villagers.

People were happy to live in Tibani but one night, a storm destroyed the village.
Villagers were unhappy. They decided to leave the montains and abandon the
village. Tibani doesn’t exist today. It is forgotten.
