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

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. #CurateTamaleAnd if you ever thought the people of Northern Gh as backward, you gotta re-think. Check this out

Don't be shocked when you come across a kid in Tamale who's very fluent in the English lang. Its very normal here. We
educ. #CurateTamaleCommunication 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.

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