  • 3 TIPS TO AVOID MARRYING THE WRONG PERSON.

    3 TIPS TO AVOID MARRYING THE WRONG PERSON.

    Every day, people choose to tie the knot hoping to have healthy marriages. Unfortunately, things turn sour later; they chose the wrong person. 

    1. Heal from a past relationship

    After ending a long-term relationship, some people jump into marriage shortly after meeting new partners. 

    This is absolutely wrong. It is advised that you use the subsequent relationship to heal from the past one or stay single and recollect yourself together. 

    Many people fall into the wrong arms by making this mistake. 

    2. Take time to know the person

    Once you find someone you can love. It is appropriate that you invest your time in knowing the person inside out. 

    People can pretend to be what you see now but later turn into what they really are. 

    FOR MORE NEWS

    To ensure your heart is safe, take some time studying their inner personalities. 

    3. Check whether you share common goals

    Couple sharing common goals is likely to stay together forever and the opposite is true. Having common goals and interests means having a common life. 

    Going for a partner who has nothing common with yours in relation to goals and interests would mean a short relationship or a divorce later in life.

  • FORMER STRIKER DIOUF SAYS LIVERPOOL CARAFED IT LAST SEASON.

    FORMER STRIKER DIOUF SAYS LIVERPOOL CARAFED IT LAST SEASON.

    Former striker El Hadji Diouf has stimulated that, Premier League leaders Liverpool are no strangers to cracking under pressure, having “bottled it” last season to finish second.

    Liverpool scythed down rivals last season for a tight battle with Manchester City before losing the title to Pep Guardiola’s side by a solitary point.

    Diouf said he doesn’t see them doing as well as they did last season,” Diouf, who scored six goals in 80 appearances for the Merseyside club between 2002-05, told Dfm sports.

    They had the chance to win the league title; they had it in their hands and then let it slip. They were seven points ahead around Christmas – how City got it, in the end, beats my mind.

    Liverpool, who captured a sixth European Cup in June, lost only one game in the Premier League last season – against City – and Diouf was baffled by how Jurgen Klopp’s team had not translated their dominance into a trophy.

    If you have only one defeat in a whole season, surely you can’t say that you didn’t win the league,” the former Senegal international added.

    LINDELOF VICTOR BRUSH ASIDE SCORCHER FROM MOURINHO.

    Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof has said he is not bothered about the criticism from his former manager Jose Mourinho in the aftermath of his side’s 2-0 defeat to West Ham United.

    Mourinho, who signed Lindelof from Portuguese side Benfica during his tenure as coach from 2016 to 2018, said the Swedish international was “very good” in some aspects of the game but could be “turn on the heat ” by forwards due to weakness in air-minded shootouts.

    For me it has never been a problem or anything to me, I’m a very easy guy,” Lindelof told DFM sports.  Even when I play good there is someone assessing me for something. It’s part of the job, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

    The 25-year-old, who recently signed a new contract that will keep him at United until at least June 2024, praised new defensive partner Harry Maguire’s leadership.

     He said I’m just trying to do my thing and I don’t focus on those things. I didn’t even notice, or know about it before you told me. That’s how I live my life and focus on my things.”

    SACKING FOUR MMDCES IS VERY LAUDABLE.

    “Sacking of the four mmdces in the volta region came as a surprise to many but to me, it was very predictable”.

    This were the words of Mr. Alfred Ahiatsi the national convener for loyal citizens. During an interview, he mentioned that we shouldn’t be surprised if through the local government such sacks are replicated throughout the country in few days ahead of us.

    He said most of the mmdces who despite several cautions from the government to work in conformity and also help propagate the works of the government at the local level have failed and are doing the contrary.

    Mr. Alfred concluded that we should expect a massive reshuffle throughout the various ministries especially those performing abysmally and advice mmdces to help in fighting the various challenges in sanitation, security, amenities and creating an accessible and enabling environment between them and the citizens of their jurisdiction.

    Struggling Man Utd Need Penalties to Beat Rochdale

    Sergio Romero saved Manchester United from an embarrassing exit in the EFL Cup as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side needed penalties to knock out third-tier Rochdale after a 1-1 draw.

    Mason Greenwood put United in front in the second half on Wednesday, the teenager scoring for the second week in a row after netting the winner against Astana in the Europa League.

    But the League One side stunned Old Trafford with an equalizer scored by 16-year-old Luke Matheson, who was set up by United academy product Ollie Rathbone.

    That sent the game to penalties and when Romero kept out Jimmy Keohane’s effort, Daniel James was able to convert United’s last kick and complete a 5-3 shoot-out victory.

    Provide Us with Security Force- Businessmen Tell KMA

    Adum- Kumasi businessmen have blamed Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly KMA for insecurity at the business centre.

    They have asked the Assembly to provide them with the night security force.

    The traders say robbers have mostly looted goods and cash from their shops in the night due to insecurity. Shop owners pay a tax of a sum of 500GHS annually yet, their businesses are not protected.

    However, they feel that  KMA  must use part of the tax they pay to employ night security guards to patrol Adum in order to avert the overburdened thievery.

    A business tycoon, Mr. Sule Baah Bitee, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Oman Berlyn Enterprise told media that, “Mr. Osei Asibey Antwi, KMA Boss is not doing enough, his performance is below belt since he is unable to provide basic protection to our properties despite the huge sums of tax we pay to the Assembly”.

    He argued that the Assembly’s structures are weak and nonfunctional hence the unavailability of the night security force.

    National Plastic Management Policy (NPMP), he said, aims to use comprehensive management of plastics across their life-cycle and value-chain as a vehicle for sustainable development, enabling a shift towards a plastic circular economy. Mr. Boachie added that the NPMP would not only help clean Ghana but would also help create jobs, thereby reducing unemployment in the country.

    He explained the third component of the plastic policy was the establishment of a waste recovery digital platform by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) which would promote sustainable waste recovery in Ghana by bringing together stakeholders in the waste management sector.
