Bimbilla

Bimbilla is the capital of Nanung, a kingdom in the savanna country of northern Ghana. Its ruler, the Bimbilla Naa, stands at the head of a hierarchy of chiefs and elders. Nanung tradition traces the kingdom to Naa Ŋmantambo, a son of Naa Gbewaa who moved south after his brother Sitobu established Dagbon. The name Bimbilla is explained as “Little Bing,” recalling a place associated with followers of the founder. Neighboring towns such as Nakpa, Dakpam and Wulensi formed part of the kingdom's political world.
