According to a Facebook user, Faila's Cook-a-thon has over the past few days impacted the Tamale community in a manner never seen before.

The Northern Region of Ghana with its capital being Tamale has a lot to offer the country but has seen relatively little development over the years.

The Ghanaian chef's camp has yet to acknowledge the post or react to it. However, scores of netizens who have been following the cookathon keenly have rallied behind the agenda.
