Ever heard of Azizakpe, an Island community in Ada? In Dangbe, the language of the people of Ada, Azizakpe literally means dwarf town. Legend has it that in the past, the town was occupied by Dwarfs until it was taken over by the current indigenes about a century ago. GBC’s Beatrice Senadju visited the town and reports that Azizakpe was a thicket in the past which was a comfortable hideout for dwarfs. Azizakpe is the Ada estuary island which is closest to the ‘mouth’ of the estuary, where the Volta river, and the Gulf of Guinea meet. The island is very beautiful with plenty of birds, trees, and children playing! The island is inhabited by mostly Ada-Dangbe peoples, as well as Ewe’s (the original inhabitants), and a few foreign people who bought land and built houses. Most of the houses are made of natural materials, such as straw, coconut ferns and the like because it allows the sea breeze to enter the house, and the houses are movable with the changing sands, since the island is very close to the sea.
