Alhaji Shuaibu, yours is a well written and thought out piece. i am a little skeptical of some of your facts, you stated that , "Hausa as a lingua-franca of most the zongo communities in the country, one may say perhaps is the third most widely spoken language after Twi and English in terms of coverage area in the country."
language density is determined by the actual numbers of people who are able to speak the language and not by coverage area.

Good piece; The late Haj Amadu Baba ( born at Ejusu in 1895 and died in 1968 after returning back from Nigeria, to Kumasi in 1966) is my uncle by my mother. Unfortunately Dr. Kwame Nkrumah deported him because he was financial supporter of NLM-now NPP. We are all one people. We should read more history of Egypt, Sudan to learn our History.

This is a very good piece. I quite remember the 'Mosque troubles" of 1968-1970. Also old enough to have seen a lot of the Sarkins and the Imams mentioned in the article. Nice historical reference. I think referring to Zongo as a tribe is off the mark. Will save this article for future reference.

Great piece of history ,very very deep but there is nothing like indegeonous Hausa of Ghana ,Hausa has it origins from Nigeria before coming to current location in Ghana all lands were claimed by other tribes that makes you a settler but not alien,point of correction Ayikuma in ga -dangbe does not mean do again but means small ayi ,ayi is a damgbe name .shukura is arabic and kaka sunamka has no bearing to any Hausa settlers in greater Accra .moreover let's not get this wrong most Hausa speakers are not Hausa so naming places does not mean Hausas settled there
