Very interesting but the translation from Italian is awkward. I just completed research in Lobi country and it should be added that the Gan (a royal people, unlike all others in Lobi country) also participate in the joro ceremony. It was very interesting to see the use of shrines among the Lobi whose power was originally given by the Gan.
