$ dig univ-lome.tg. ns
...

That is: no NS records found, so no way to locate your nameservers.

Strangely, querying the authoritative server directly (tld.cafe.tg) doesn't
give an NXDOMAIN, but a NOERROR with 0 records.  Compare output of these two
commands:

$ dig @tld.cafe.tg. univ-lome.tg. ns       # NOERROR, ANSWER: 0
$ dig @tld.cafe.tg. univ-lomezzzz.tg. ns   # NXDOMAIN

However, if I query your ns1 directly, it works:
$ dig @41.207.188.27 www.univ-lome.tg. a   # get the data

although I get no response from this one:
$ dig @41.207.188.30 www.univ-lome.tg. a   # timeout

So it looks like a delegation issue, rather than an error with the setup of
your nameserver. Talk to your TLD administrator about how best to resolve
this (pun not intended).

HTH,

Brian.
