The internet has made it all easy and this Ghanaian king, King Togbe Ngoryifia Céphas Kosi Bansah is making cool use of the opportunity!

The African King, 66, who is based in Germany not only governs his kingdom via Skype but also monitors the situations of things.

He runs a garage and governs the 200,000 residents of Hohoe area of South-Eastern Ghana, through Skype and  telephone calls, often staying up late into the night to rule on tribal disputes.

The Independent reports that, King Togbe was crowned in 1987 after his grandfather, the reigning king, died.

He was chosen over his elder brother and father because both are left-handed, an attribute that his people believe is unclean and indicative of dishonesty.

Bansah moved to Germany to attend school as a foreign exchange student, but decided not to return to Ghana after he met and fell in love with a woman named Gabrielle, who is now his wife.

Recently however, he had his four gold crowns stolen from his home.

He returned from an evening out to discover that thieves had broken in his home in Ludwigshafen, roughly 49 miles south of Frankfurt, and made off with most of his royal regalia, including the crowns and golden chains from his grandparents.

“Thieves had come over the balcony on the first floor, prised the door open, smashed the cabinets and ransacked everything,” he told The Times.

Although the value of the items was placed at around £15,900 but the King argues the collection is irreplaceable to his family and country.
