The truck drivers in Parakou (Benin) are descendants of the "Wangara" nomads. Nowadays, they drive thirty-tonne vehicles. Thanks to these Titans, they can afford to build pretty mosques in their district and redistribute some of the money they make to the needy, as well as funding pilgrimages to Mecca.
