In this video, we take you inside Ghana’s largest Zongo community, Nima.
Nima is a Zongo residential town in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. The town is popular because of its market - the Nima market.[1] The name Nima has its etymology from the Ga Language which literally means the "city of the King". Nii means King in the Ga language, while the word city in the same language is mann. There have been a few contrasting views about the name, however, with some pointing to the town's Muslim community to say Nima was a reference to the Arabic word, "Ni'ma", which means blessings.
Nima is a Muslim-dominated area. Like most Zongo communities, though, it exhibits great diversity in religion and ethnicity (dominated by the Dogon people of Mali, also known as Kaado or kardo). One of the largest churches, Saint Kizito Catholic church, is located along the main round about.
I want to find out about the truth behind the harmony between Muslims and Christians and see it for myself. What brings these negative tags? And Is it really what the media is saying? By making this journey? I hope to answer these questions, meet the locals, and share the real story of this unique community.
