    Interestingly we've never heard of this narrative. Maybe some more research needs to be done in order that we can give Issah Kanjaga his due.

    Hausa is not spoken in Northern Ghana. It is a foreign language spoken only in a few enclaves or suburbs in some towns in the North. The places you will find such enclaves are Bolgatanga, Bawku and Salaga.

    Well said. Is good to keep very important history in this country and our leaders should avoid selective recognition of only people or persons believed to come from only their tribe.
