Naa Gbewaa (also known as Nedega or Kulu Gbagha) is the founder of the Kingdom of Dagbon, in what is now northern Ghana.
[16][17] Kachaɣu, the eldest child, took on the regalia of Gbewaa and made herself Queen, but Zirile forced her to give it up.
[23] Although Dagbon is largely recognized as the oldest kingdom in Ghana,[24][25] many regard Mamprugu too to be equally old.
[20] Most of the children of Gbewaa including his eldest child Kachaɣu (female) took Shitobu as the leader of the post-Gbewaa Dagbon.
However, Gbewaa did not practise this, as he designated the younger Foɣu/Kufoɣu[33] to rule over his oldest child Kachaɣu and his eldest son Zirile.
