President Barrow called out civil servants who hurt his government plans. He talked with Muslim elders at State House during Eid-ul-fitr celebrations. The president claimed many employees back opposition parties behind closed doors. These workers act neutral but secretly want different leadership.
He explained how staff members cause problems by making simple tasks difficult. A document that needs just one day might take four months because someone wants citizens angry at their government. Police officers stretch cases longer than needed, making people blame Barrow instead of those causing delays. The president sees these actions as direct attacks on his administration.
Barrow made clear these civil servants serve the nation, not him...
We thank God for helping us finish another blessed month of Ramadan. This special time teaches us many lessons about being better people. God mentions how important this month is right in the Quran. Muslims everywhere fast during Ramadan because God asks us to do this. We want to become more righteous and grow closer to God through our worship.
Ramadan brings countless blessings. When we try hard to please God during this time, He guides us toward becoming better people. The Quran came down to earth during Ramadan, which explains why Muslims read it more often this month. We study it, listen to it, and try to understand its message about how we should live.
The habits we build during Ramadan should continue all year long. For thirty...
Imam Baba Leigh wants everyone running The Gambia to answer for their actions. The well-known Islamic teacher told this message during his holiday speech. He asked the president, government officials, and religious leaders to respect God through honest behavior. Many know Baba Leigh because he faced jail and abuse for speaking against the previous president.
The religious leader argued that Muslims must be satisfied with what they have. He pointed out that corruption occurs throughout government offices, yet hardly anyone is punished. Just one official from the fisheries department went to court, despite his case seeming small compared to others. Money from taxes should build hospitals, fix roads, and create schools instead of making...
The imam at Serekunda's Gaddafi Mosque wants Gambians to avoid politicians who stir up tribal hatred. Momodou Jobe spoke during Eid-ul-Fitr about selfish leaders who look out for themselves. He said these politicians save money for fifty years, making sure their kids never become poor. They buy land and build houses everywhere, which means their families never worry about rent payments after their time in office ends.
Jobe asked why regular citizens who struggle with rent would let these leaders ruin their connections. He pointed out how these politicians make different tribes hate each other, turning Fula against Mandinka and Mandinka against Fula. The imam questioned why anyone would allow someone else to wreck their relationships...
The government wants to start paying money to faith leaders in The Gambia. Hamat Bah made this big news during Sunday talks at State House when Muslim elders came to see the president for Eid-ul-Fitr. He said both the Banjul imam ratib and the head of The Gambia Christian Council will receive salaries. This marks the first time religious leaders will earn state paychecks in the country.
Hamat Bah also talked about fixing the roads. He thinks there are way too many car repair shops in the wrong places. These shops must move soon because they hurt business growth in The Gambia. Many streets have car garages that just popped up without permission. Bah points his finger at local councils for letting this happen.
Foreign business people...
Momodou Taal decided to leave America rather than keep fighting his deportation case. The Gambian-British student from Cornell University had sued to stop the Trump administration from forcing him out because he supported Palestine. He announced his departure yesterday through social media. Taal thanked everyone who helped him, especially his legal team.
He wrote that everything he did aimed to support Palestinian humanity, which deeply affected him. Taal explained he chose to exit the United States freely with pride. His lawsuit against the Trump administration hoped to help himself and others facing similar situations. Instead, ICE agents came to his home and canceled his visa before he could have his day in court.
Their first legal...
Alhaji Sosseh Colley has expressed deep thanks to Modou Turo Darboe for his generous help during Ramadan. Alhaji lives in Bakau Mamakoto and Katchikally but was born in Baddibu Salikenni. He spoke with The Standard about how Modou, whom he calls his "nephew," has supported him and the local people. For many years, Modou has given him 500 bags of sugar weighing 20kg each plus a bull for the Lailat-ul-Qadr celebration.
Alhaji asked Allah to keep blessing Modou with resources to help Muslims across The Gambia, Casamance, and Senegal. He believes people should look up to Modou because he helps everyone, regardless of religion, throughout the year. Alhaji stressed that Allah will reward such kindness. He prayed for Modou to enjoy a long...
Some AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D processors faced startup problems with certain ASRock AM5 motherboards. The issue first appeared in February 2025, prompting immediate action from both companies. Their investigation discovered that older BIOS versions on specific ASRock boards caused memory compatibility issues. These problems prevented computers with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D from completing the POST startup sequence properly.
ASRock acted fast by releasing a beta BIOS update that fixed the memory problem. After thorough testing, they made the final version available today. Anyone who installs this BIOS update should see the startup issue completely disappear. One report claimed a CPU was damaged, but further inspection found no burn marks on the...
A new Money Today SK article reports that Samsung plans to release an updated Galaxy Ring model with a fresh battery system later in 2025. The company calls it a "dream battery" design.

People watching the industry expect high prices because of these fancy new batteries. Money Today learned from sources inside...
