Subtle signs you’re in the wrong relationship
There’s no textbook definition of what a wrong relationship looks like, however, there are a few recurring indications when you’re in one. Here are signs that you’re in the wrong relationship.
• Not experiencing growth
When you’re with the right person, you grow and glow differently. The right partner becomes your strength, they support you, encourage you, nurture you, they become a bridge to your success.
If you’re in a relationship where you haven’t experienced any growth, may it be personal, professional or academic, then maybe the two of you aren’t meant to be together. With the wrong person, you’ll always convince yourself to procrastinate, they won’t push you towards your dream, they won’t remind you to hustle hard as it is none of their concern.
• Feeling uncomfortable
When you’re in a new relationship, it is natural to feel slightly shy talking to your partner about certain topics but once time passes, you develop comfort with your partner.
If you’ve been with your partner a while, hesitation shouldn’t be in the picture anymore.
You should be able to share anything with them without dithering. If you have something on your mind, with the right person, you’ll have it right out on your tongue.
And if you feel like you’re still not comfortable with them after you’ve been together for a long period, you’ll know you’re not with the right person.
• Mistrust
With the right person, you can put all your trust in their hands because you’re sure that no matter what, this person wouldn’t let you down. But when you’re in a relationship with the wrong person, then you won’t be able to trust them.
This isn’t about the kind of trust where you ask them to bring laundry from the dry cleaner or let them decide what movie to watch, this is about the kind of trust where you’d actually consider their suggestion while making a major life decision, like what college to pick, what career choice to make, what next to do in life and so on.
If you feel like you would never reach a point in your relationship where you can trust your partner enough to make these decisions with you, then you might want to take a step back and reevaluate your relationship.
• Not feeling protected
The wrong partner will never make you feel like you’re safe and protected.
This doesn’t necessarily have to be the physical protection where they fight-off trouble makers for you instead this refers to you feeling at peace in your head.
When in a relationship that is perfect for you, you’ll think of your partner as a safety blanket that you can always wrap yourself inside whenever you need to and they will make you feel safe again.
• Taking interest in others
The number one requirement of a healthy and happy relationship is loyalty from both the partners. When you’re with a person you love, you will never be interested in anyone except for them.
If you find yourself taking an interest in any person who isn’t your partner, then you’ll be wrong to continue to stay in the relationship.
• Lack of happiness
The ultimate point of committing to a person is to be happy, with and for them. If you often find yourself wondering whether or not you’re even happy with your partner, you need to stop and make your mind up.
If the concluding decision is you not being happy, then it’s time to call quits. If you’re experiencing one or more of these signs, then – it’s time to make some tough choices.

Ghana to locally refine its gold starting October 2025 – Sammy Gyamfi
The Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Gold Board, Sammy Gyamfi, has announced that plans are far advanced for the establishment of a state-owned gold refinery in the country.
Speaking at the 2025 Minerals and Mining Convention, Mr Gyamfi said the refinery will process locally mined gold into bullion instead of exporting it in its raw state.
According to him, it is unacceptable that Ghana, despite being a leading gold producer in Africa, continues to export raw gold known as dore.
He explained that the Gold Board, working with the Bank of Ghana and local refineries, will from October 2025 begin refining gold locally.
He also disclosed that an ultramodern assay laboratory will be built to ensure international standards in testing gold quality.
Mr Gyamfi noted that the refinery will be wholly state-owned and will help Ghana move away from raw mineral exports to value addition.
This, he said, will boost foreign exchange earnings, create jobs, and position Ghana as a hub for gold refining and jewellery production in Africa.
The CEO stressed that the project forms part of government’s strategy to ensure the country benefits fully from its natural resources and to transform the mining sector into a driver of economic growth.

There is strength in diversity; let’s live in peace – Zanetor Rawlings urges Ghanaians
Member of Parliament for Korle Klottey, Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, has urged Ghanaians, especially the youth, to value the peace the country enjoys and to see diversity as a source of strength.
Speaking at the National Youth Conference held at the Pentecost Convention Centre under the theme “Igniting Potential; Inspiring Change”, she warned against being lured into conflicts and divisions fueled by reckless statements from politicians, traditional leaders, religious figures, or academics.
According to her, many young people have no idea what it means to live in a country torn apart by war, and therefore must not take Ghana’s peace for granted.
She stressed that the harmony among different ethnic and regional groups should be protected at all costs, since it is peace that allows citizens to gather freely and safely.
Dr. Zanetor said Ghana’s development depends on embracing diversity and working together.
She urged the youth to tap into this strength so that Ghana would continue to shine as the “Black Star” of Africa and serve as an example for other nations.
She expressed appreciation to the participants for attending the conference and asked for God’s blessings on the country.
