She will in default of the order go to jail for 12 months.

Bilasssa Mansah is also said to have pulled a cutlass on the complainant, destroyed his door and centre table, and poured water into rice and stew prepared by the complainant.

Passing the sentence, an Accra Circuit Court further ordered her to sign a bond to be of good behaviour for 24 months or in default serve six months imprisonment.

Mansah charged with causing harm pleaded guilty, saying that she did not know what came over her.

According to her, their relationship was not over.

The trial judge, Mrs Abena Oppong Adjin-Doku on December 29, convicted her but deferred Mansah’s sentence to Monday, January 1, 2018.

On her return from Police cells, Mansah who was unwell told the court that she felt uncomfortable in cells adding that she collapsed whiles in lawful custody.

The trial judge then told her that next time if she repeats her bad conduct, she (Mansah) would go to jail for a long time.

Prosecuting Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Agnes Boafo said the complainant Stephen Nsoh is self-employed residing at Adenta- Frafraha, Accra, whilst Mansah also resides in the same vicinity.

ASP Boafo said during early part of December, this year, the complainant and Mansah entered into a relationship.

However, during the course of the relationship, a misunderstanding ensued between them and they separated for a while.

ASP Boafo said on December 20, this year, at about 0800 hours, Mansah went to the complainant‘s house to demand her wine glass and met another lady with him.

The prosecution said Mansah got angry and when the complainant presented the wine glass to her she refused to leave.

Mansah then informed the complainant that she was pregnant and he should give her some money to seek medical care, but the complainant who knew that she (accused) was undergoing a family planning regime neglected the comments about pregnancy

The prosecution said the complainant’s behaviour infuriated the accused who caused damage to the complainant’s centre table and poured water into his rice and stew which was on fire.

According to the prosecution, a co-tenant in the case separated the accused and the complainant.

The co-tenant advised Mansah to leave but she pulled out a cutlass and dared the complainant to come out.

Mansah further destroyed the complainant’s trap door with the cutlass.

When the co-tenant succeeded in collecting the cutlass from Mansah, the complainant came out of the room to pick up a metal bucket.

The prosecution said Mansah collected the bucket and attempted to hit the complainant’s head with the bucket. The complainant, however held the bucket and the edge of the bucket cut the complainant’s left thumb.

Whiles the complainant was bleeding, Mansah picked up the broken wine glass and threw it at the complainant’s left rib.

The incident was reported to the Police and complainant was given a medical report form to seek medical attention.

The prosecution said the complainant was rushed to the Pantang Hospital but due to the seriousness of his condition, he was transferred to the Legon Government Hospital where he was operated upon and discharged on December 26, this year.

The post Court orders lady to stay away from her ex-boyfriend appeared first on Citi 97.3 FM - Relevant Radio. Always.

It’s a sad topic, we’re well aware of that. Nobody wants to fall out of love, and fewer still of us want to confront the issue. But congrats for being strong enough to question whether you are falling out of love with your boyfriend. It’s the first step to taking the right course of action. Can this be fixed? Or is it time to make the break that would be in the best interests of you both?

As the old saying goes, it’s better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. And although breaking up is one of the most horrendous things to do, it’s much better to nip things in the bud early, rather than let them linger on and on.

If you’re head is all over the place at the moment and you don’t know what’s going on, let’s see if we can help. Let’s take a look at 10 signs you are falling out of love with your boyfriend.

You’re Moving In Different Directions

Remember when you and a close friend from childhood eventually grew apart? It happens. You start to move in two different directions. Perhaps you took a hardcore right turn with a brand-spanking new career and exciting new goals, while your friend stayed in the same position. They continued to plod along the same, safe path while you took risks.

As a result, you no longer feel as close to them anymore. They’re not on your level.

The same thing can happen in relationships. While we were clearly moving in the same direction as our boy when we first got together, it doesn’t mean we still will be a year down the line. Maybe you now want to grasp at new opportunities to expand and grow, while your partner wants to play it safe and continue doing the same things over and over again.

Do you feel a sense of frustration as you try to move forward with your ambitions while your partner stays in the same position? If so, it could be a sign that you are falling out of love.

You Don’t Feel Excited Anymore

He used to give you butterflies. Now you feel indifferent when you see him. When he texts you, you don’t feel anything. Sometimes, you wish it had been a text from someone else. In the past, you were so annoyed when your phone pinged and it wasn’t him.

If this sounds like you, it’s a second sign you’re falling out of love.

He’s Changed

He’s changed – and you don’t like it.

That’s totally okay, of course. You don’t have to like his changes. You used to love his humour, his ambition, his confidence, his work ethic and his values. These are the things you fell in love with. What you didn’t agree to was staying in love with him if he changed any of these.

If he has and you don’t like the new changes, it might be more than that – it might be that his changes have caused you to fall out of love with him.

His Cute Habits Annoy You

His habits used to be cute. Now they just annoy you.

You Don’t Talk About The Future Anymore

Remember when you used to talk about the future all the time? Perhaps you used to dream together about how you’d share a cottage together, take amazing vacations together – and maybe even have kids together.
If you no longer talk about the future together – and indeed if you purposely try to avoid this topic of conversation – it’s a strong sign that you are falling out of love with your boyfriend. You should be able to talk to one another about your future. If you can’t, it means something isn’t right about the present.

You Can Easily Keep Your Hands Off Him

When the two of you first got together, no doubt you couldn’t keep your hands off him. Now, you barely touch him. It’s a sign that you no longer find him attractive – which is a strong sign that you’re falling out of love.

Arguments Linger

When we love our boyfriends, we work hard to make sure that an argument is brought to an agreeable resolution as soon as possible. We look for compromises, and we can’t wait to kiss and make-up. Sometimes, we’ll apologise even if we know we were right. We just want to make-up already.

However, when you’re falling out of love with your partner, you don’t have that same desire to bring conflicts to an agreeable resolution. You’re prepared to let things fester, and bring up the same issues over and over again.

And you certainly won’t be apologising if you’ve done nothing wrong.

You’ve Stopped Making Sacrifices

You had stopped seeing the girls for cocktails because you wanted to cuddle him in bed instead.

Now, it’s cocktails every Friday night again and to heck what he thinks.

You’ve Been Checking Out Other Guys

When you were madly in love with your partner, it was as though no other guy existed. You didn’t notice the cute waiter, and even your celebrity crush doesn’t matter all that much anymore. No other man can compete with your man.

If you’re falling out of love, it’s different. You eyes start to wander all of a sudden. You notice the cute waiter who serves you dinner, and you wonder if he’s as attracted to you as you are to him.

Worse still, you start to fantasise about other men.

You’re Still Together, But Not Because Of Love

If you know deep down inside that you’re falling out of love with your boyfriend, you need to ask yourself why you’re still together. Is it a matter of convenience? Are you waiting for the contract on your home to run down before you can move out? Perhaps you’re staying together for any kids or pets you share?

Or maybe the reason you’re still together is because you can’t face being on your own ever again.

Do you know other signs of falling out of love?

The post Ten signs you’re falling out of love with your boyfriend appeared first on Citi 97.3 FM - Relevant Radio. Always.

If you’re a typical girl, you are likely to have thought about marriage and kids at least once in your life

Come on, you know it’s the truth.

If you’ve been dating your man for more than a year, then you, your mother and everyone else around you are probably wondering when he’s going to propose.

As a matchmaker, I meet women all day long. I hear so many stories of women who say they wasted their time with Mr. Wrong. Sure, they have some great memories from the relationship, but they wish they could get those precious years back.

If you don’t want this to happen to you, and you’ve been dating for more than a year, familiarise yourself with these nine tell-tale signs that your man is unlikely to put a ring on it:

1. He avoids weddings like the plague
When a guy isn’t squeamish about marriage, he’ll be comfortable attending weddings and he’ll want to you to come with him. If your man hates going to other people’s nuptials, that’s a good sign he isn’t ready for his own.

2. He doesn’t talk about getting married
If you bring up the topic of marriage and he changes the subject asap, marriage isn’t something he’s thought about. If your man has an aversion to the M-word, he’s subtly letting you know that marriage probably isn’t part of his plan in the foreseeable future. Likewise, when you’re with other people and the topic of marriage or children is brought up, pay attention to how your boyfriend reacts. Does he quickly change the subject (bad!), or does he say things like, “When I get married…” (good!)

3. He doesn’t plan
Is your boyfriend allergic to planning? Does he only make plans for the immediate or short-term future? If so, marriage isn’t likely to be a priority. He might be ready to make a date for this week or the weekend, but if he’s hesitant to make plans for six months from now, your future together may not be a sure thing in his mind.

4. He’s Mr. Excuse man
Men are simple creatures. When they want something, you’ll know. If they’re constantly making excuses about marriage or the future, it’s time to realise that something’s wrong. If he’s too busy and stressed to talk or think about marriage, it’s time to say ‘Sayonara’. If he has too much going on to focus on buying a ring, your future together isn’t looking so bright.

Any excuse isn’t a good thing. If your boyfriend blames his lack of interest in marriage on work, money or family, then he isn’t eager to walk down the aisle.

5. He says he’s happy with the way things are
Plain and simple, if your man tells you he that he’s happy with the way things are, or he doesn’t want to ruin the special relationship you have, then he has no intention of taking your relationship to the next level.

6. He talks about the glory days
Pay close attention to what your boyfriend enjoys reminiscing about.

Does he make references to how great the last vacation you guys took was? Or does he regularly and longingly tell stories about his college days?

If he enjoys talking about his ‘spring break’ ’08 or mentions how much misses going out every night with his friends, he’s probably not mature enough to wed just yet.

7. He has no interest in your future
When you mention your five-year plan, if he seems completely uninterested in what you have in mind, he isn’t looking to build a life together.

8. None of his friends are married
Are your boyfriend’s friends mostly married or mostly single? If he has surrounded himself with only happy bachelors instead of having a healthy mix of single and married friends, then he won’t rush to take things to the next step.

9. He hasn’t mentioned starting a family
Men don’t have a baby clock ticking away like women do. In a man’s brain, having a family is a natural thing that will happen one day, when you’re married and the time is right. However, if he’s unwilling to discuss having a family one day, he may not be ready to walk down the aisle.

But admitting you are wrong and apologising to your boyfriend shows a lot of maturity, and it helps to soothe arguments and prevent them from getting too far out of hand. After all, we’re all the Kings and Queens of arguments when we’re in a relationship, but far too few of us are prepared to hold our hands up and defuse the situation by saying we’re sorry. If you want to apologise creatively to your boyfriend or husband, here are 10 top tips!

Ply him with food

You were wrong and you admit it. But now he’s in a huff because you’ve really upset him this time. Instead of talking to you, he’s playing on his Xbox and has told you not to disturb him until he’s killed all the zombies.

The only way you’re going to be able to say sorry to him this time is by aiming for his stomach with some delightful food. Cooking him his favourite dish is a really cute way to say sorry. You could even put the icing on the cake by making him a fab desert, too.

Write a funny poem

This is another great tip on how to apologize to your boyfriend. It doesn’t even matter if he’s not the literary type because you’re not trying to be Shakespeare here. It doesn’t even matter if you’re not the literary type because the aim of the game is to win back his affection with a funny poem that expresses your admission of guilt.

How about, um, Atari?

You’re on your own. Sorry. Hey, it was you that did wrong in the first place!

Attack him playfully

You’ve said you’re sorry but he’s still not having it. He’s refusing to accept your apology and he still isn’t talking to you. You’ve really hurt his feeling this time and it looks as though you might have to give him a week to cool off.

Or, you could play-attack him. You know, hug him until he relents. Or kiss him until he gives in and accepts your apology.

If none of that works, try tickling him to death as you say, “I’m sorry! I’m sorry!” while he fights for his breath and wishes all this would just end.

Create a photo collage of you both

Another tip on how to apologize to your boyfriend is to gather together some of your old photos together (this might also involve printing some off) and then put them together on a piece of card before framing and hanging on your wall.

Don’t forget to write “I’m Sorry” at the top of the piece of card!

Then, when he returns home from work he won’t be able to do anything else but smile and welcome you into his arms.

Use your puppy dog eyes

Okay, it’s time to get your best puppy dog eyes. You know, the eyes you used when you were a kid to get something out of your parents. Yes, those ones! This is one of the most popular tips on how to apologize to your boyfriend.

It’s really hard for any man not to look into his partners puppy eyes as she’s saying sorry to him and still refuse to accept the apology. You’ll melt his heart with those puppies and he won’t just be accepting your apology – he’ll also be making you dinner, buying you flowers and taking you on a weekend getaway. He just can’t bear the thought that saying sorry made you so sad ?

Make him breakfast in bed

The best way to a man’s heart is via his stomach, so why not make him a healthy, nutritious breakfast that perks him up before work in the morning?

Wake up early to put together his favourite foods and he’ll soon realise how sorry you are.

Use the internet

A really creative way of saying sorry is by using the Internet. Instead of apologising face-to-face like your parents had to do, why not make good use of a 20th century invention?

You could make a fun video on YouTube that explains your mistakes before going into detail about everything you love about him.

You could write a blog post that does the same, only this time you bullet-list everything you love about your man.

You could create a humorous meme, or you could even make a piece of music if you’re up to it.

Buy an “I’m Sorry T-Shirt”

Another tip on how to apologize to your boyfriend is to buy An “I’m Sorry T-Shirt”.

Yup, why not buy a tee that says “I’m Sorry” on the front and wear it around him all day?

You could clean in it, cook in it, watch TV in it. He’ll eventually get the picture, of course, and he’ll find it really funny and cute even if he won’t admit this at first.

To test how sorry you really are, he might ask you to wear the t-shirt outside, too. You’ll just have to suck it up and if he wants you both to pop round his parents, that’s just what you’ve got to do.

Write “I’m Sorry” everywhere

Buy some stick-it notes and then write “I’m sorry” on as many as you want.

Then, head around the house sticking them everywhere. You can pop one on the fridge, inside the oven, on the shower head, on his pillow, and even on your belly.

He’ll admire your work ethic and you’ll soon be putty in his hands again. And that thing you did? He’s forgotten all about that now.

Write it down on a chalkboard

Our final tip on how to apologize to your boyfriend is to buy a small chalkboard and write “I’m sorry, can we just erase everything that happened?” on it.

Remember to leave the eraser next to the board so that they can erase the words themselves. Cute!
