About • Gbi-Bla

The northern gateway of the Volta Region

Gbi-Bla is the second largest of the nine divisions of the Gbi Traditional Area, on the northern frontier of Ghana’s Volta Region. Lying along the Eastern Corridor Road, it is a historic gateway between southern and northern Ghana.

Its people "the Awalime"trace their journey from southern Nigeria through Benin, Dahomey and Notsie to their home on the banks of the River Dayi. Today Gbi-Bla unites three areas Tsrivi, Blanyigbe and Bladzigbe, under the Overlord, Togbe Buami.
