Someone leaked details about Kingston's new Fury Renegade G5 SSD drives. These drives run on PCIe 5.0 technology and reach amazing speeds - 14,800 MB/s for reading data and 14,000 MB/s for writing it. These numbers put Kingston right up against Samsung's fast 9100 PRO Series, which costs a lot of money. You can buy these Kingston drives with 1TB, 2TB, or 4TB of space. They come in the standard NVMe M.2 2280 size that fits most computers.
The heart of these drives comes from their Silicon Motion SM2508 controller. Kingston chose this part because it works perfectly with PCIe Gen 5 x4 NVMe 2.0 storage. The company released this controller toward the end of 2024. It uses less power than older models but still moves data super fast. Tests...
Zimbabwe is changing its investment rules for foreigners. The government plans to update the Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Act, which limits the 51-49 percent requirement to natural resources only. Foreign investors can have 49 percent shares in natural resource businesses.
The policy came from former President Robert Mugabe's statement on April 11, 2016. It cleared up confusion about the empowerment law. Presidential spokesperson George Charamba told The Herald that President Emmerson Mnangagwa ordered quick changes. Mnangagwa stressed that these changes must happen fast.
Charamba explained that the law created problems for everyone involved. It promised help for local people without delivering results, and it scared away...
Former Gambian chief justice Akomaye Agim faces criticism about staying neutral as a Nigerian Supreme Court judge. He showed up at a university graduation in Calabar, which raised eyebrows. Critics pointed to whom he hung around with at the event.
Agim stood beside Aminu Ado Bayero and Nyesom Wike during the ceremony. Bayero currently fights in court about becoming the Emir of Kano, while Wike is a cabinet minister in the Federal Capital Territory. When pictures hit social media, many people lashed out at Agim. The Supreme Court later claimed he just came to accept an honorary degree for his legal career.
Back in February, Agim made waves with a ruling about Rivers State. His decision focused on withheld money that needed budget...

The National Assembly finished its first regular 2025 session on Friday. They followed every rule in section 98 (1) (b) of the 1997 Constitution plus Orders 13 (5) and 54 (1). Billay Tunkara from Kantora, who leads the House majority, asked to end the session until further notice.
MPs checked and approved daily Records of Votes and Proceedings as required by Order 35 (2). They asked Cabinet Ministers plenty of questions about their departments and agencies, just as Standing Order 41 allows. A breakthrough came when they approved an agreement letting people with Diplomatic and Service Passports travel between The Gambia and United Arab Emirates without visas.
The Foreign Affairs Minister introduced this agreement, building stronger...
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...
