Good Morning Gambia!
Tensions have risen again at the Gambia-senegal border.
This time, a mob believed to be members of the senegalese transport services gathered to block Gambian vehicles from senegal without a reaction from the senegalese border authorities.
This situation escalated a led to a phone call between president Barrow and his counterpart diomaye faye which later resolved the situation.
OUR TAKE
Gambia is the only country in the sub region which fully complies with the ECOWAS protoclos and this over compliance leads to unfair treatment of Gambians by senegalese border authorities. Senegal has to see Gambia as a sovereign country and equally observe the ECOWAS Protocols. there should be equal compliance on both sides, but this is mostly lip service especially by the senegalese authorities. Any Agreements between the two nations should be win-win and not win-loose. This however, need bold and decisive leadership to realize this.

Farmers in the upper river region express great concern amid getting access to Fertilizer.
The government of the Gambia through its ministry of agriculture has announced the availability and the price of fertilizer for this year’s farming season as one thousand one hundred dalasis (D1100)per bag of fertilizer.
This price described by government as very good and reasonable for farmers after fifty dalasis (D50) discount compared last year price of D1150 per bag.

YOUNG GIRL REMAINS IN POLICE CUSTODY AFETR ACCUSED OF STEALING D20M
Maimuna Gibba, a well-known slay queen often seen at The Village and other popular spots in the Senegambia Strip, allegedly stole cash amounting to D20 million from a safe in a Tallinding compound.
The stolen amount, reportedly in both dollars and euros, belongs to Alhagie Yusupha Camara, a native of Numuyel in the Upper River Region.
His son, Talibeh Camara, who lives in the USA, disclosed to What's On-Gambia: "The incident happened two days before Tobaski. The police were able to arrest Maimuna because she also stole a Samsung Galaxy A54 that I bought for my mum."
Talibeh provided the phone's serial number to the police, who, with the assistance of Africell, tracked it to Maimuna’s mother in Badibu. This led to the mother’s arrest, and Maimuna subsequently turned herself in to Bundung Police, where she was interrogated and detained by CID officers.
It was discovered that after stealing the money, Maimuna went on a spending spree. She allegedly gave her mother D50,000 to buy a new bed and another D50,000 for Tobaski. Additionally, she gave her father D100,000 and distributed thousands of dalasis among her friends in Lamin, West Coast Region.
Despite her arrest, the police have not yet recovered all the stolen money. Maimuna, already notorious for theft, faces potential imprisonment as the investigation continues.

One Pac VS Bob Keita
One Pac is not happy with Bob Keita’s campaign against drugs.
One Pac’s Facebook Live with KANGI K K
One Pac: I am the first person to campaign and fight against drugs, so why is Bob Keita also doing it?
Kangi K.K.: Why can’t you and Bob Keita join together and work as a team if you both love Gambia?
One Pac: I will never join Bob Keita and work with him because he is a scammer and a hypocrite. Momodou Sabally and Muhammed Darboe are also hypocrites, and all of Bob Keita’s followers are hypocrites.
Kangi K.K.: Why do you say he is a scammer? Do you have any evidence?
One Pac: Bob Keita doesn’t have any job. His job is to scam people and sit at restaurants in Village Senegambia. We all know that.
I called him twice before I decided to go live on Facebook. In fact, I walked to his home to discuss the matter, and he promised to call me, but he never did. So I decided to go live on Facebook to tell Gambians that Bob Keita is a scammer and not a good man. He is a big scammer.
Kangi K.K.: Will you accept to sit with us if we call Bob Keita and have a peaceful discussion to settle the matter?
One Pac: Yes.
Kangi K.K.: Our advice for you is to please stop insulting. You and Bob are both celebrities. Insulting can make some people hate you.
One Pac: Boy, what makes Bob Keita a celebrity? You know the reason is he is a womanizer, which took him to jail and made him a fake celebrity.
Kangi K.K.: Bro, calm down. We can settle this matter in a nice and simple way.
One Pac: Boy, every single day I will come live on Facebook and tell people that Bob Keita is a scammer and a hypocrite.

This is unacceptable.
A whole national team is playing and Gambians cannot even watch the match.
Most Gambians were watching a livestream from Kitabu D Comedian page.
GRTS TV they call themselves "state broadcaster" yet cannot show national games. whatever the case is, we need the game on the National Television when Gambia is playing.
