 Akwaaba... Akwaaba means 'welcome', which, as in other African cultures, has deeper reaching implications than just hello.  Another word reveals the singular qualities of the Ga people - Homowo - that says a good deal about their easy-going nature, and defiance in face of their harsh environment and unforgiving climate. 'Homowo' means 'making fun of hunger', and every year Homowo is celebrated as a festival. 'Kedzi Baah enyo miiple loo he le Baah ni tasee le dzi moni nine sheo niyenii le no' (When two crocodiles fight over a piece of meat, it is the third crocodile that waits and watches, who gets to eat his dinner.)
