Maybe in another world, Diana Orry Seem would have been an airbrushed air hostess, flying from country to country and looking down upon those stuck in the unforgiving overlapped Nairobi traffic jams, the kind of traffic that competes with every conceivable noise and every imaginable variation on the theme of human rage and impatience. It’s not why she wanted to be an air hostess, but it’s why she left for Togo. “There is no such thing as a traffic jam here,” she beams.
If Nigeria is the self-assured firstborn and Ghana the self-composed lastborn, Togo is the oft-forgotten middle child, full of contradictions. Like housing Ecobank, one of the largest banks in Africa, where Diana works, managing 33 markets as the Group Head of Cards.
