 * Singida Town  is  a  crossroads,  marking  the  intersection  of  recently  paved  inter-city routes  to Dodoma,  Arusha,  and  Mwanza.  It  boasts  a regional  hospital,  several private clinics and banks,  a post office, a plethora  of mosques and churches,  a bus stand  and  a range  of guesthouses  and  eating establishments  that  serve both  local patrons  and  the  many  traders  and  truckers  who  pass  through   town.  But  just outside  the  small  grid  of dirt  alleys that  surround  the  intersection  of these  tarmacked  roads,  the land  of the Nyaturu  begins,  stretching  out into  a thick  ring  around  Singida Town.  1  The peri-urban  villages of Singida Municipality  graduate  into the increasingly  rural  villages of Singida Rural  District  and  Ikungi  District,
 * Approximately 75 percent of the Nyaturu profess Islam; some are Christians, and others retain the ancient traditional beliefs. Their main occupations are livestock raising and farming. There is a great deal of seasonal work on plantations and at enterprises of the mining industry.
 * The Turu or Nyaturu language, "Kinyaturu", also known as Rimi "Kirimi", is a Bantu language of spoken by the "Wanyaturu" a.k.a. "Arimi" of the Singida region of Tanzania.

Dialects of the three Turu tribes are "Girwana" of the "Airwana (Wilwana)" in the north, "Giahi" of the "Vahi (Wahi)" in the south and west, and "Ginyamunyinganyi" of the "Anyiŋanyi (Wanyinganyi)" in the east.
