THE NEW WAY

  Growing Misery For Commuters Amid Traffic Nightmare On Major Gambian Roa ds By Jaka Ceesay Jaiteh Transportation in the country continues to be a problematic issue as commuters struggle each day to find their ways to and from work, school or other engagements they need to attend to. The country’s transportation system gets worse by the day. The roads are always busy even during weekends than it used to be before. Commuters would have to spend hours before reaching their destination due to various factors such as traffic jam, shortage of vehicles and drivers refusing to go directly to places which leave commuters no option but to take two to three vehicles to reach their various destinations. One commuter explains that one of the reasons behind drivers acting in such a way is because the government has not placed much concern. “The government has not put in a lot of concern in our transport sector, they should get more buses and look for ways to construct or expand roads if not we...

 KM Mayor hits back at minister Drammeh   The mayor of Kanifing municipality has told the minister and permanent secretary at the Ministry of Regional Government to desist from misrepresenting the facts as obtained in the Latrikunda German alkaloship crisis.

Nwankwo Kanu: Star at The World Cup U17 The then small Nwankwo was born on August 1, 1976 in Owerri (Nigeria). Kanu was fed with football. His father was a footballer, his older brother was a footballer, so it was no longer a question whether little Kanu would also play football.  Kanu still learned football barefoot in Nigeria. Where he returned years later, he was pleased to see that times had changed. Where they now wear football boots, it was out of the question in his time. Despite the fact that he played football, it soon became clear that Kanu was really a talent.  Kanu only shot into the air later in his youth. The biggest reason for his growth was the fact that Kanu suffered from a hereditary condition: Marfan syndrome. Because of this he later also had heart complaints, but more about that later.  His family, however, considered school more important than football. Still, Kanu was picked up in time. And it was the Nigerian first division club Federation Works wh...
