A Legend and A Border

There are indeed many thing to see from at Paga, from the crocodile pond to the slave camp. The number of  fuel stations and how close they are to each other is even a tourist attraction. Whiles returning from the slave camp, i was informed by my tour guide Abedi Ayew one Ghanas' all time best footballer and a football legend comes from Nania. It made sense, he owns a football team called Nania FC. The tour guide showed me Abedi Ayew's house and a school the family had help put up for the village of Nania.

Dede Ayew is Abedi Ayew's son, he also plays for the Ghana national team. Football runs in the family.

Paga is the last town in the north eastern part of Ghana, the Ghana-Burkina Faso border is a few kilometres away from the town so i went there just to be sure for the second time, i have reached another end point of Ghana. 

Crossing this border takes you out of Ghana into Burkina Faso
After making sure that all my curiosities have been satisfied, i headed to the taxi park to board a taxi for Bolgatanga. Due to the border and Burkina Faso being a french speaking country, i noticed a lot of the taxi drivers could communicate in english as well as french and the local dialect of the people of paga. As an aspiring polyglot, this made me real jealous.
