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…

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.
