Nima, Accra

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.

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).

Some time later, though, it is believed the Odoi Kwaos offered the land to Malam Amadu Futa to be used as a settlement for strangers.

Nima and its environs developed as a settlement for traders from the northern regions of Ghana and those from neighbouring countries such as Togo and Burkina Faso.

People looking for fowls with unique or single colours for special rites often visit the Nima Market to make their selection.
