Today, we are going to talk about the Northern
Regional City of Yendi. Yendi is called Yeni or Naya (Naa-Ya: meaning hometown
of the King).
It's one of the Northern Region's big cities. It
is the seat of the King of Dagbon who goes by the title Yaa-Naa (King of
Strength, some say).

Yendi was 52,008.

Yendi, in the late 90s, was described as the
biggest village in West Africa.
Fun
Fact
The Greenwich Meridian does not only pass
through Tema, it passes through Yendi, the seat of the Paramount Chief of
Dagbon.
