It is a hell on earth dating someone who is still stuck in their past. No matter how much you help them get over whichever mess their ex created, they will still go back to them when they come back to apologize. Regardless of how good you are to them, they still assume it could have been better with their ex. When a man or woman has still not gotten over another, they presume no one, apart from the said person, is ever good enough. A chunk of infidelity cases in relationships today can be traced to an unresolved past.…

General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Johnson Asiedu Nketia has taken a swipe at the president, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, saying his thinking on political party vigilantism being curbed by only the country’s two major parties is too simplistic. He said even the latest exposé on the activities of a quasi-militia group at the seat of government annex, the Christianborg Castle in Osu, “tells you that the president was acting out of insincerity”. He wondered that if the NDC and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) had met, for instance, and disbanded their militias, what would have happened to…

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been commended by a former army officer for initiating the process of dialogue between the country’s two major political parties on ending political party vigilantism. But retired Colonel Festus Aboagye, a former Commander of West African multilateral armed forces ECOMOG, says it will not be appropriate for the president to make further comments about the issue let alone “banter” with a chairman of one of the parties involved. Speaking on TV3’s The Key Points on Saturday, Colonel (rtd) Aboagye said the president’s call for the dialogue is enough and the process can take its…

The Minority in Parliament has called for the immediate resignation of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo. The caucus also wants the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to carry out a swoop at the Christianborg Castle, Osu and arrest leaders and members of a pro-government group De-Eye Group.

The said documentary reveals how some men are being trained by De-Eye Group at the former seat of government. “Perhaps even more mind-blowing is the revelation that De-Eye Group militia has been allocated two offices at…

The training of the militia was broadcast in a documentary on Accra-based Joy News on Thursday. Acknowledging watching the “harrowing” documentary on Twitter, Mr Mahama said it clearly shows that the current government “has produced enough paint to paint the whole nation black”. https://twitter.com/JDMahama/status/1103909684572913665 Reaction to this message on Friday, March 8 was mixed as followers replied with varying opinions. https://twitter.com/Supremo06903924/status/1103912324908277761 https://twitter.com/CorleoneESQ/status/1103912782909517824 https://twitter.com/belinda_damoa/status/1103942670160969730 https://twitter.com/Jgudmoney024/status/1103921362735783944 The development is said to…
