The 3rd episode of the NSMQLiveChat is imminent! March came with much joy; the eclipse is on the 9th. The Northern pride, Zuweira Baba Mohammed, Tamale SHS NSMQ alumna 2017 will grace the NSMQLiveChat on Thursday, 9th March 2023, 5 pm - 6 pm. This is noteworthy!
In the 2017 National Championship, Tamale SHS captured the hearts of Ghanaians with an impressive display led by Zuweira Baba Mohammed and Yunus Maltiti Mohammed. The team narrowly missed out on qualifying for the Semifinals after a nerve-wracking contest with University Practice SHS and KNUST SHS. Before the contest's final round, University Practice had 48 points, with a 13-point lead ahead of Tamale SHS whilst KNUST SHS trailed with 33 points. In the fifth round, TAMASCO answered 4/4 riddles to send the contest to a tie-breaker, which was coolly answered by UPSHS to win.
In the next NSMQ Live Chat, we sit down with the Best Female Contestant at #NSMQ2017, Zuweira Baba Mohammed. Here's a profile on one of the most notable names in recent history.
