These genuine Bolga baskets are exclusively woven by the indigenous Gurune people (also known as Frafra) around the town of Bolgatanga in Northern Ghana.
Bolga is the crafts center of Northern Ghana. For many generations, weaving has been a traditional skill of the people there. The soil around Bolgatanga is not fertile enough for extensive agricultural activities. As a result, handicraft activities such as basket weaving, leather work, and pottery are undertaken mostly by women to supplement their incomes since they are primarily subsistence farmers.
The creation of these Bolga baskets is a complex process that captures the exquisite skill of the weavers.

First, veta vera straw, known locally as kinkahe, is collected from the tops of the grass stalks, then each piece is split in half vertically.
Once the straw is split, it is then twisted back together to give it strength.
At this point the straw is put in bunches and dyed in boiling water. For bright colors the straw is dyed yellow first, then the color.
After coloring, the weaver carefully selects appropriate straw for the base, sides and handle. The selection of the proper grass for various parts of the basket is critical to good weaving.
Weaving starts at the base and works up to the rim. The rims are generally finished flat, or wrapped with straw to form a rounded edge.
Once the rims are finished, the handle will be created, attached, and customized. Handles are made with a sturdy wrapping technique around a grass core.
Hundreds of remaining bits of straw that are sticking out of the basket are carefully trimmed off.
Leather handles are skillfully applied by local leather workers.
A medium basket takes about 3 days to complete. Some shapes and patterns are more difficult to weave and take longer.

📥 Free practice speaking workbook for week 15 at www.learnigbonow.com

This is your Week 15 Igbo language practice session from Igbo Daily Drops — 15 sentences learnt over the past week in Igbo daily drops, built for real-life use. Commands, requests, questions, and the kind of warm, human phrases that make the difference between knowing a language and living in it.


Work through each sentence at your own pace. You will hear it once, then again — then it is your turn. The sentences this week move from saying where you are located, who you are , to asking who others are.

The Igbo sentences we learnt this week are :

Anyị bụ ndị Igbo - We are Igbo people.

Anyị bụ umunna - We are kinsmen.

Anyị bụ ezinulo - We are a family.

Ha bụ ndị Igbo - They are Igbo people.

Ha bụ ndị ezinulo anyị - They are our family.

Kedụ ndị ha bụ? - Who are they?

Anyị na-arụ ọrụ - We are working.

Ha na-eri nri - They are eating food.

Unu na-aga ahia? - Are you all going to market?

Anyi nwere umuaka - We have children

Ha enweghị oge - They don't have time

Anyi nwere nri - We have food

Anyị nọ ebe a - We are here.

Ha nọ na Nigeria - They are in Nigeria.

Ebee ka ha nọ? - Where are they?



This is the language your family carried. Now it is yours to carry too.
