Parallel to the Nubian narrative, a strong Ga oral tradition tells of an even earlier place: ancient Israel. Some Ga‑Adangbe elders and writers describe a migration that begins in Israel, then passes through Egypt and Ethiopia (Cush) before entering West Africa.
According to these accounts, ancestors of the Ga–Adangbe followed the fate of the “lost tribes” after the Assyrian conquest of the Northern Kingdom, drifting south into Ethiopia, then along the Blue Nile to Sudan, and finally westward into the Benue River region of Nigeria.
From there, the migration splits: one branch moves toward Ile‑Ife (Yorubaland), while another continues toward the coast of present‑day Ghana, eventually settling on the Accra plains. This layered story blends Hebraic, Nubian, and Niger–Congo elements into a single ancestral journey.
