#CurateBolga
I moved to Bolga about 8 months ago & I've enjoyed every day of those 8 months here #CurateBolga
Bolgatanga, colloquially known as Bolga, is the capital of the Upper East Region of Ghana. #CurateBolga
Bolgatanga has a settlement population of 131,551 people.Make that 131,552 now with my addition #CurateBolga
Bolga is a very peaceful & quiet town which I'm growing to love each & every day #CurateBolga
Bolgatanga is a very cosmopolitan town inhabited by diverse people #CurateBolga
Let's take a quick break because the Adhaan has just been called for the weekly Muslim Jummah prayers. #CurateBolga
Jummah Mubarak. Here is a glimpse of the Central mosque which is shaping up to be the biggest mosque in Gh
Bikers & Car users are ever ready to offer you a 'lift' due to the hospitable nature of the everyday life in Bolga
There abound in Bolga lots of places to sate your appetite. Legacy Kitchen,Swap Restaurant,Jubilee Chop Bar & Lovely sisters are just a few
Let's take a breather here as I grab a bottle each of some chilled 'Sobolo' & 'Zunkom'.
#CurateBolga
'Sobolo' & 'Zumkom' are popular locally brewed beverages that are rich in energy & most importantly are made of only natural ingredients.
These are the scenes from a typical market day in Bolga with traders busily trading in hand-woven baskets & hats
Now let me take to a spot where past & future meet.
This is a modernized local building.#CurateBolga
The Nubian Vault technique is based on an ancient method of timber-free vault construction, originating in Upper Egypt..
It uses only earth bricks & earth mortar and has been adapted to contemporary conditions. #CurateBolga
Given the scarcity of timber & straw for western style house construction, the Nubian Vault is surely the answer for protecting our already depleted northern Savannah. Plus it's so cheap & can serve as affordable housing for our rural folks especially.
There's friendly banter between the Dagaabas,Waalas & Gruni people in Bolga here. #CurateBolga
To my Football fans looking to catch a live game in a serene atmosphere, you can do so at Black Star Hotel..#CurateBolga

A day out at the Paga Crocodile Pond #CurateBolga
Bolgatanga & the Upper East region in general has a lot of tourist destinations, most notably the crocodile pond at Paga
I'm really very honoured to have spent my day with you all, it was fun and exciting.
