Ghanaians are at war with Zambians on social media after the latter mocked the fugu outfit Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama wore during his arrival in their country for a three-day state visit.
In 2019, the beautiful story of the Northern people and their rich fugu culture was brought to light on GhanaWeb’s People and Places.
The strikingly artistic cloth is derived from carefully woven yarns, featuring different designs, each with its distinctive significance and implication.
The fugu can be likened to what the Ashantis call the kente. Made by the originators, including the Dagombas, Gonjas, Waalas and others, the cloth and dress are now widely patronised by all tribes across the country.
It takes various forms, including handwoven and sewn smocks, shirts, trousers and hats for men, as well as dresses for women and children alike.
This piece provides details about the history, making, wearing and significance of these rich Ghanaian garments from the three northern regions.
