Youths of today are gradually developing certain lifestyles which many have described as good and bad. From the anxiety of terming things as correct or wrong, one’s incapability to see behaviors as living in the leaden. As some may see it as a good and acceptable in our part of the world, it has also gone a way to cause problems in many relationships which is causing lots of problems. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/watch-jean-mensa-spotted-dancing-at-aglow-amidst-election-tension-video One exact means, people see this indistinctness played out is in the framework of our “alliances” with either guys or girls. One can state that this friend with benefit has left lots of people heart-broken, lots of trusts, and confused. Could it be that they are friends during the day time and lovers in the evening? With friends with benefits, it is obvious that it has no direction and one cannot tell whether it is good or bad? READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/opinion-how-to-go-on-a-peaceful-aworshia-without-being-caught Friends with benefits in this generation have been categorized as lust and sex all in the name of friendship and believe it or not, it is gradually spreading in churches. If one should find him or herself in such friends with benefits relationship, will it be prudent to access whether it is healthy or not? Below are a few reasons: BEGINNING YOUR CONNECTION WITH NO LIMITS One item that describes a friend with benefits connection is when it begins with having no boundaries. The uncertainty and nonentities pledge that there’s no heading, no rubrics, and no-obligation which means everything is involved. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-sister-derby-blasts-joy-fm-over-unprofessional-behaviour-picture The delinquent in affairs like this is that they don’t mysteriously go into strong affairs as time goes on. The very moment a relationship begins with no boundaries, it turns to be hard to go along with. NOT THINKING OF VOWS, ONE TENDS TO LOSE HIS/HER VALUE One major issue associated with friends with benefits is when people give with no hope or thoughtfulness of getting something back. People tend to give out their body, period, and feelings without necessitating assurance. Once it arises toward relationships, promises become heavy prices to pay since one receives according to what he or she gives. We are all extremely esteemed and that worth has been strongminded by God. Nonetheless, friends with benefits inspire people to give for free and generate an avenue that sparks egoism, insolence, and zero charges. Vigorous affairs necessitate people to take possession of their selections and that constantly twitches with vibrant assurance. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/opinion-how-to-go-on-a-peaceful-aworshia-without-being-caught FRIEND WITH BENEFITS HAS THE INFLUENCE TO INFLUENCE THE EXPRESSIVE AND SLANT THE BALANCED People tend to bond through bodily encounters. Whether it be a clinch, a caress, or sexual activity, bodies get bound to issue chemicals throughout bodily encounters that make individuals feel coupled to the people they are connected with. That’s actually astonishing the entity, but it can be a really perplexing thing when one’s attention is telling them, they are friends and their sentiments are telling something far-off unalike. Whenever people create a rapport that’s assembled on the corporal, people’s emotions continually follow the trend. Bringing in the bodily will only present a mix-up and cause one to second-guess his or her coherent discerning. That bodily and demonstrative assembly will cause individuals to keep coming back for more. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/opinion-10-things-good-men-should-never-do-in-a-relationship INDISTINCTNESS SETS PEOPLE UP FOR ANGUISH No matter how people start their friend with benefits, one will eventually get hurt and leave. The very nature of giving without knowing what you will receive sets you up for some major disappointment. By our actual fauna as humans, people are strengthened for the skill of giving and take. When people involve themselves in a connection where they give with no pledge in return, they are setting themselves up for major upset and defeat since they are setting themselves up to lose at the end of the day. Irrespective of who people are or have been through, they are far more than the agony of a one-way relationship. People owe it to themself to grip their God-given worth, to ask for more, and to expect great things in their lifespan and affairs. Story by: Joshua Kwabena Smith

The chancellor said she was forced to act following an ‘exponential growth’ in new infections. Germany will be placed under a nationwide lockdown over Christmas and the new year following a surge of Covid-19 cases in the country. From Wednesday, all non-essential shops, hair salons, and schools will close until January 10 as part of a raft of measures to bring the virus under control, confirmed Chancellor Angela Merkel. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/opinion-how-to-go-on-a-peaceful-aworshia-without-being-caught Ms. Merkel said she and all 16 regional leaders agreed to tighten restrictions in a bid to half the ‘exponential growth’ in new coronavirus infections sweeping across the country. The chancellor told reporters in Berlin: ‘We are forced to act, and we’re acting too.’ The document setting out the new rules read: ‘With increasing mobility and the therefore linked additional contacts in the pre-Christmas period, Germany is now in an exponential growth of infections numbers.’ ‘It was, therefore, our task to prevent an overload of our health systems and that’s why there is an urgent need to take action,’ added Ms. Merkel. All non-essential shops will close again from Wednesday. The country recorded 20,200 new cases and 321 more deaths on Sunday – a high figure for the weekend when many local authorities do not report figures. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-sister-derby-blasts-joy-fm-over-unprofessional-behaviour-picture The seven-day rolling average of daily new cases in Germany has risen over the past two weeks from 21.23 new cases per 100,000 people on November 28, to 26 new cases per 100,000 people on December 12. Bavarian state premier Markus Soeder described the situation as ‘out of control’ and said the measures were necessary to prevent further deaths, adding: ‘We need to be careful that Germany doesn’t become the problem child of Europe.’ Under the rules, restaurant takeaways will continue to be permitted but consumption on-site – including alcoholic beverages – will be banned. Meanwhile, companies are also being urged to allow employees to work from home or offer them extended annual leave.

Alcohol sales will be banned in public places, essentially outlawing the festive business of mulled wine stands, which have proved popular in the days running up to Christmas. The sale of fireworks will also be banned along with public outdoor gatherings on New Year’s Eve. Ms. Merkel said she was forced to take urgent action as current restrictions have failed to significantly reduce the number of new infections.

I find lately that any time I write an article outlining certain traits of men or how we “should” or “shouldn’t” act in a relationship (I have to be careful with those words because people often accuse me of telling everyone how to act…) that I get plenty of backlash from those who disagree with what I’m saying because men do not realistically act in these ways. First thing’s first: Good men do act in these ways. If you are going to put an asterisk on behavior that’s to be expected from a well-adjusted, emotionally stable, good man, then you’re not dating a good man. Here are a few things that should make you strap on a jet pack and full throttle it in the other direction: A good man should never pick apart your looks READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/watch-jean-mensa-spotted-dancing-at-aglow-amidst-election-tension-video “Oh, if only your hair was a little longer.” “If only you lost those couple of extra pounds.” “If you would only wear more makeup.” A good man will never take jabs at your appearance in a way that’s demeaning to you or makes you feel bad about yourself. If he is doing this, he’s purposely attempting to lower your self-worth so you won’t feel confident enough to leave him. It’s his way of trying to control you and it’s emotional abuse. Walk. Away. Now. A good man should never invade his lady's privacy In a healthy relationship, there is no need to hide anything. Texts, emails, Facebook messages, whatever. But that doesn’t mean your partner has the right to snoop through them if you happen to leave your phone around or your computer open. Someone who does this is showing a massive insecurity on their part and is likely projecting their own infidelities and issues onto you. This should not be ignored. This is assuming you haven’t done anything that would make him suspicious or betrayed his trust. A good man should never discourage his girlfriend A sign of a person’s confidence in themselves is how they help to support the ambition of others. A good man will always be willing to help and support those around him and will never be discouraging or insulting. A good man must recognize his girlfriend's value; he should not make her feel the need to prove it to him The minute you feel that you have to prove your worth to the person you’re with is the minute you’ll know to walk away. A man or woman should be with you because they value and appreciate who you are, not what you do or how well you sell yourself to them. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/opinion-how-to-go-on-a-peaceful-aworshia-without-being-caught A good man should never make his woman feel like an afterthought While a relationship shouldn’t be someone’s entire life, it’s certainly a large part of it. I’ve heard too many stories about women who constantly get cast aside for “guy’s night” or something similar. A man should have had a network and individuality, sure. But there is a difference between leading an active social life, and knocking the woman in your life further and further down your priority list. If you feel like you’re waiting for him to come home more than you’re actually with him, it’s time to step back and take another look at where your relationship is going. A good man should never make his lady feel like she is alone in the relationship Relationships are a partnership. A team. A two-way street. They’re supposed to enhance your life, not complicate it. If you’re with a man who is complacent in life and love, puts no effort into you or the relationship, then it’s time to re-evaluate. Keep in mind, it’s natural for people to get depressed and unmotivated at times. If this is someone you’ve been with for a long time, I’m certainly not saying kick him to the curb at the first sign of a slump. We all go through them. What I’m referring to here is someone who is simply apathetic and makes you feel like he doesn’t care. You deserve someone who will wake up every morning and pledge to do and be the best they can for you. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/entertainment-sister-derby-blasts-joy-fm-over-unprofessional-behaviour-picture A good man should never cheat on his woman There are plenty of arguments in the world that monogamy is not “natural” and that humans are not biologically wired to spend an entire lifetime with one single person. Regardless of the scientific validity of this statement, one thing remains true: Monogamy is a personal choice made by two people in a relationship. There is literally nothing physical binding two people together; just a decision. A good man will never cheat in a relationship because cheating means going back on his word or breaking a promise he has made to someone he loves. A good man must never disrespect his lady Easy, simple, basic – but often overlooked. A good man will show respect to everyone around him. He will not be condescending or put anyone down, regardless of intelligence level or professional position. As the saying goes, a man of quality is not afraid of equality.’ A good man must never avoid important conversations Whether it be between family members or in a relationship, a good man understands that no problem can be resolved until it is faced. The only thing that avoidance of difficulties will accomplish is delaying the inevitable and potentially making things worse. There is a difference between choosing your battles and avoiding conflict altogether – the important thing is to know when to hold ’em and when to fold ’em. READ ALSO: https://www.thinknewsonline.com/post/opinion-how-to-go-on-a-peaceful-aworshia-without-being-caught 1A good man never abuse his woman There are many different types of abuse, certainly not just physical and certainly not just in a relationship. Someone can be emotionally abusive toward a child or pet as well as their significant other. Regardless, they all have one thing in common: The desire to break another down. A good man recognizes that his confidence and worth comes from within himself and never from attempting to place others below him. At any sign of any type of abuse, walk (run) away immediately. It will not get better, and you deserve more. We need to stop making excuses for those who mistreat us and start lowering our tolerance for this nonsense. Any self-respecting decent human being will treat you with the love and compassion that you deserve. If they don’t, then what’s the point of staying with them? Credit: Thegoodmenproject

Even when organized outdoors, there must be adequate spacing for the maintenance of social distancing. Organizers of such events, public or private, should ensure the presence of ‘Veronica’ buckets, soap, and sanitizers, and must insist that patrons use them as frequently as possible" he explained President Akufo however entreated the populace with underlying ailments, such as hypertension, diabetes, chronic liver disease, and asthma to pay particular attention to their health during the festive season. "It is important to stress that our borders, by land and sea, will remain closed to human traffic until further notice. Beaches, pubs, cinemas, and nightclubs remain closed until further notice. All other institutions that have been cleared to function are to continue to do so in strict adherence to the COVID-19 protocols. So, my fellow Ghanaians, I make this plea to all of you to ensure compliance with the enhanced hygiene and mask-wearing protocols that have become part of our daily routines" he noted.
