Dasiba. Anshumaa. Good morning Ghana! I'm Hassan Mohammed and I'm your curator for today. #CurateTamale

Dasiba n Anshumaa are morning greetings in Dagbani n Gonja, respectively. U respond by saying Naa...and Awoo for the latter. #CurateTamale

Interestingly, "Naa" is the only way you respond to greetings in Dagbani, anytime of the day.With Gonja, its always "Awoo" #CurateTamale

Tamale is not just inhabited by Dagombas or Northerners. Its a cosmopolitan city with people from all parts of Ghana. #CurateTamale

There's a peaceful atmosphere for the coexistence of all these ethnic groups. Inter-ethic tolerance is the order of the day.#CurateTamale

Inter-ethnic conflicts? Not a thing to worry about. "Nangban' yini" is a phrase you'll definitely hear often when in Tamale. #CurateTamale

Nangban' yini literally means "1 mouth" With that, UNITY and TOLERANCE come to mind and that's exactly what the phrase means. #CurateTamale

Speaking of unity, that's what's gonna happen in my tummy b/n the koko and bread I'm taking for breakfast #CurateTamale Y'all are invited!

We don't just live to eat. Exercise too! A state of the art gym is in the stadium. Sign up

                             

#CurateTamale: Breaking the negative stereotypes in 140 characters or less at a time. :-)

Are you new in Tamale? Don't worry, we don't bite. The people of the North set the standards of hospitality in GH. #fact #CurateTamale

The Dagomba man is not greedy at all.In fact, custom demands he kills a fat cock to prepare chicken soup for his visitors. #CurateTamale

And if you ever thought the people of Northern Gh as backward, you gotta re-think. Check this out#CurateTamale
                             
Don't be shocked when you come across a kid in Tamale who's very fluent in the English lang. Its very normal here. Weeduc. #CurateTamale

Communication is nothing to worry about when in my city. Just speak English, we'll sort you out. #CurateTamale

Miss me? I'm just back from the mosque. Couldn't wish you guys Jummah Mubarak before leaving. Was running late.#CurateTamale

Better late than never. Jummah Mubarak. Have a blessed Friday! #CurateTamale

We are living in a world where morals are slowly dying out. Come to Tamale. The People still place a premium on moral values. #CurateTamale

Modesty in dress code, respect for the elderly...Matter of fact, we squat to greet the elderly in our society. #CurateTamale

You can travel from one end of Tamale to the other, literally. With no hustle at all! Not because the city is small...#CurateTamale

Transportation is not a problem within this city. And I'm not talking trotro, I'm talking taxis. Real nice ones. #CurateTamale

I'm trying to run home before this rain intensifies, I'm gonna have to ride my little mapuka like a sport bike. #CurateTamale

And Yes! The women are so brave, they ride motor bikes. The mapuka is their favorite. #CurateTamale

Mapuka is just a nickname given to a certain category of motor bikes. Picture coming soon!


You've gotta love Tamale women. Now those are mapuka bikes #CurateTamale
                        



If you're quite the shopaholic, I got good news for you. You can still enjoy your hobby in Tamale...#CurateTamale

Melcom, Forsmuel, Quality 1st, Somovision...yes we have them all. They're open for the Window shoppers too. #CurateTamale

And if you're the tech geek, there are phone and PC shops in and around the city. NextDoor, Office Point, Sabonkudi et a l#CurateTamale

What's more? There's a Samsung showroom in the same building with the Post Office and a new Apple center opposite adjacent Wooden Restaurant.

#CurateTamale is so much fun. I don't wanna stop. If you also want to curate, just mention @Tamale_Ghana in your tweets. We'll contact you!

And this is how I draw the curtains. "Indeed with every difficulty comes ease" Quran 94:6. #CurateTamale

"Ti kuma ni puhi vari libigi da'kabiriba" @wunpini_fm will translate that for you! Have a blissful weekend! Assalamu-alaikum. #CurateTamale
