THE GA COMMUNITY
A Vilage in a city
Nungua (part 1)

History has it that the people of Nungua came from Tetetu from Benin with the first party of Gas (which included some groups in Ga Mashie at Accra Central). Tradition has it that generations ago, their high priest, Bokete Lawe, suffered grievous mutilation at the hands of an enemy through the failure of his own people to stand by him. In a dramatic denunciation, he told them that they were good- for- nothing and always would be, and their town should never get any bigger. Having cursed them he strode disgustedly into the sea, the waters parted to receive him and he was never seen again. The area, many generations after,  now seems to have overcome its curse since it is one of the vibrant and prosperous sections of the Ga State boasting of appreciable socioeconomic development.

Nungua is in Ledzokuku-Krowor Municipal district in the Greater Accra Region of southeastern Ghana near the coast.Nungua is the eighteenth most populous settlement in Ghana, in terms of population, with a population of 84,119 people.

Nungua is served by a station on the eastern network of the national railway system. A bridge that was out of service for some time was repaired in 2009. Other means of transportation are taxi, tro tro (mini buses), Metro Transit Buses, or canoes.

I was taking a stroll through bl3k3s3 area trying to find something that might interest me and there it was. That amazing object you never thought would attract you. Its was made from an oil gallon locally known as "kuffour gallon"

 It looked amazing. I could hear a familiar song playing. At first i though it was coming from my phone's ringtone but i was wrong. I asked myself"could this wonderful tune be emerging from this artifact". Yes! A speaker made out of gallon.

Even though these people live in the worst kind of situation they try as much as possible to make life comfortable around them.

But one may ask. How do they make life comfortable? They work, they try to be creative, they have avision. To take away that misconception about the Ga people. Have ever come across any locally made tye and dye factory.

Oh yes! I am not talking about a the factory you know.this is one built out of clay and cements. i guess it about time they make good use of the little around them.
