Arsenal fans were desperate for summer signing Nicolas Pepe to burst into life.
The £72m man has struggled for form since his arrival from Lille, but he finally delivered his first big moment in a Gunners shirt tonight versus Vitoria.

Pepe came on late in the second half in Arsenal's Europa League tie and levelled the score at 2-2 with the most sublime of free-kicks.
The technique on this is insane!

That's the confidence boost he needed.
And that was proven to be true in stoppage-time, when Pepe struck once again from a free-kick to win the game for the Gunners.

This could prove to be a watershed moment in Pepe's Arsenal career.

This boys don't know anything, Life after school no easy ooooo, hmmmm but i pray it will be easy for U guys

There’s a saying that goes thus – ‘One man’s meat is another man’s poison‘.

This applies to a variety of things, including a man’s type of woman. One man might like a slim woman, another might like a plump one. One man might like a dark skinned woman while another might like a light skinned one.
However, there are general traits that men tend to like in women, things that attract them.
I asked a few people and here are the most common answers I heard:

1. A confident woman: A man likes a woman who is sure of her self, who speaks well, raises her head up high and can hold her ground anywhere.

2. A beautiful woman: A man likes to look at pleasant things and a woman with a pleasant face and features is just right for him.

3. A respectful woman: Most men have big egos and they like a woman who can stroke it and not disrespect it. Men in general are attracted to women who have a good level of respect for them.

4. ______________
I want to know what you think. complete the list. What do men find most attractive in women?
This question is for guys and ladies so let the comments roll in!

It is a known fact that men are in love with women’s B00bs. These are some reasons why that is so.
Though the preference for men varies according to size, there is no doubt that men love B.reasts. No wonder women catch them staring at their chest instead of the face most of the time. This is the reason why women are so concerned about the appearance and size of their B.reasts. They don’t want to feel unattractive and B.reasts are a major part of the attraction package. So, why are men so much into B.reasts? Here are 10 probable reasons why.

1. B.reasts Are Great to Look At:

Men love looking at the B.reasts for the very reason that they are great to look at. Whether they are small or big, B.reasts are one of the first things a man sees in a woman. Though it is offensive, but men can’t resist taking a peek!

2. B.reasts Add Grace and Poise:

B.reasts are one of the few body parts which are curvaceous. Men don’t have any curves on their bodies, which makes being hard and straight a sign of masculinity. On the other hand, curviness is a symbol for womanhood which adds grace and poise to the way they carry themselves.

3. B.reasts Represent Fertility:
Since a long time back, it has been believed that men are attracted to women who are healthy and are able to reproduce. B.reasts are a sign of fertility as they portray the notion that the woman would be able to bear children as well as nourish them.

4. B.reasts Offer Visual Stimulation:

One of the main differences between men and women is that men are stimulated visually. They get ‘turned on’ just by looking at a woman’s body. Firm and perky B.reasts catch the attention of every male wherever a woman goes and stimulates them visually.

5. B.reasts Are the Key to Second Base:

Most men don’t know about this but those who do use it to their advantage. The B.reasts are the key to second base as they are located close to the libido. handling and playing with them leads to $exual arousal. This is one of the major reasons why men love B.reasts!

6. B.reasts Lead to Great pre-intimacy:
B.reasts are a crucial part of pre-intimacy. In fact, pre-intimacy is incomplete without a little handling, sucking or kissing on the B.reasts. Apart from the B.reasts, there is little else a man could play with before the actual act.

7. B.reasts Are Nice to Touch:

Men love how the B.reasts feel in their hands. While some of them can get wild and start twitching the nipples, most men are gentle with B.reasts, holding them with love and care. They are soft and supple, tempting men to grab them.

8. B.reasts Are Mysterious:

From the moment a guy sees a girl her B.reasts become a source of mystery for him. He spends most of his time thinking about and visualizing what hides beneath the clothing. Until he gets to actually see them, the mystery is a cause of intrigue for him.
9. No Cleavage without B.reasts:

The cleavage is perhaps the best sight a man could want to see. Low-cut tops or dresses that show a little too much at the top are highly attractive for males. Without B.reasts, there would be no cleavage, so men love the whole package.
10. B.reasts Are Comforting:

For some reason, men find B.reasts comforting. They love resting their heads on them. The very sight of them can make their bad mood disappear. In fact, there has been a study which shows that men who get to see B.reasts for at least 15 minutes a day live longer and healthier!
These are the top 10 reasons men are attracted to B.reasts. If you want your pair to look the best for your partner or spouse, use a dermatology tested and clinically proven of natural B.reast enhancement cream like B.reast Actives to enlarge, firm, and lift the B.reasts for more attractive and perky. Fast, Cost-Effective and Safe.

Manchester United have received a major boost ahead of the Premier League clash against Arsenal tonight with both Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford passing a late fitness test.

Predicted Arsenal lineup (4-2-3-1) vs Manchester United, Aubameyang and Pepe start
Chelsea manager drops injury boost ahead of Lille clash Pogba was deemed a huge doubt for the league game after sustaining a swollen ankle against Rochdale in midweek but he seems to have recovered in time for the contest, The Manchester Evening News reports.

Meanwhile, Rashford picked up a groin problem during the Red Devils' 2-0 league defeat at West Ham United last weekend and he could be involved in the matchday squad tonight after checking in at the Lowry Hotel.

The Red Devils have experienced a mixed beginning to the current campaign and their concerns have mainly lied in the forward department with goals hard to come by.
Since the 4-0 win over Chelsea, the Red Devils have netted just six times from seven matches and they need to come up with a much better performance to secure maximum points against the Gunners at Old Trafford.

*SEX IN ISLAM*

*How to sex our Wives according to SUNNAH ?
*The Prophet (saw) is reported by Anas bin Malik to Have said One of you should not fulfill ones (sexual) need from ones wife like an *ANIMAL rather there should be between them pre-intimacy of kissing and words.*

*Sex without pre-intimacy is Equated to CRUELTY. It is the way of Animals*.
The Wife also has some needs to be fulfilled. This is where *Caressing, Kissing, Sucking the Nipples, Stimulating The Breasts, Fingering* and the Likes come in.

This is what pre-intimacy Means But Bare in mind That *ANAL SEX (penetration through the ANUS) is highly forbidden in Islam.*
*MouthAction (Licking the Sex organs) is undesired and Disliked but not HARAM.*
MouthAction Health-wise could be Dangerous sometimes.

Women have *Active and unharmful VAGINAL bacterials and a Natural pH* within their genitals which makes it Not Sound to be licked by the Tongue or Kissed.

This Varies from Woman to Woman regarding the Nature and Hygiene Levels.
*MouthAction/Fellacio or Sucking of the Male genital by the Woman* is also considered Unharmful by Medical practitioners and Acceptable in Islam although opinions Vary in this Regard.
*BATHING AND BEING CLEAN* is the first thing to consider before carrying on with it.
*Personal Health and Hygiene conditions also counts.*

*SEX during the Menstruation period of a Woman is HARAM to the highest level.*
*Sex positions are Also allowed so Far as penetration is in the VAGINA. The doggy, spooning,missionary position* and others are all Allowed.

*There are no Rules as to how pre-intimacy is to be done.* The only laws are the ones reached by the *LOVERS*
*THE only general rules are those that go against the SHARIAH rules, which goes against wishes of the Husband or the Wife.*

*As for the Role of A woman in sexual pre-intimacy, SCHOLARS have praised a Woman who discards Shyness when she is with Her HUSBAND.*
*Imam Muhammad al Baqir says;*
The Best Woman Among You is the one who discards the *ARMOR of Shyness when with Her Husband and puts on the ARMOR of shyness* when she dresses up.

*If you are a Malama, when it comes to that, Forget about Your personality and OPEN FIRE*

Don't come near your Husband with *"HIJAB or NIQAB"* or some rough dressing.
At that moment those are indecent.

*"DRESS TO KILL"* your husband.
*Dresses which exposed your Breasts, Your Backside Shape,* *Transparent dresses and Tight dresses*.

APC National Leader reacts to Tinubu’s death
A national leader of the All Progressives Congress, APC, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has reacted to the death of Alhaji Rafiu Babatunde Tinubu, son of Dr. Abdul Hameed Saka Tinubu.

DAILY POST reported ealier that a former Head of Service in Lagos State, Alhaji Rafiu Tinubu died in Abuja on Wednesday at the age of 75, after a brief illness.

In a statement he personally signed and made available to DAILY POST on Thursday, Bola Tinubu said, “It was with a heavy heart that I received the news of the passing away on, Wednesday, September 4, 2019, of my first cousin and eminent member of our highly-respected family, Alhaji Rafiu Babatunde Tinubu, son of Dr. Abdul Hameed Saka Tinubu.

“The memory of this distinguished public servant, passionate Lagosian and patriotic Nigerian popularly known simply as RAB by all and sundry will ever remain fresh in my mind particularly because of the critical role he played in helping to lay a firm foundation for the success of my administration during my two-term tenure as governor of Lagos State between 1999 and 2007.

“Coming into office as governor from the private sector, I knew that I needed a Head of the State Civil Service who I could trust and who would help forge a harmonious relationship between my administration and the public service on which the success of any government depends to a significant extent. Nobody at that time could fit the bill as perfectly as Alhaji Rafiu Babatunde Tinubu.

“As a family member, he would understandably desire nothing but the success of my administration. But much more than that, he had the requisite intellectual grounding as well as public service managerial experience, rising from the lower rungs to the upper echelon of the Lagos State Public Service between 1978 and 1999.

“With a Bachelor’s (B.A) and Master’s (M.A) degrees in Political Science from the prestigious Howard University, Washington, D.C., USA, he joined the Lagos State Public Service in June 1978 after a teaching stint at the Department of Political Science of the then University of Ife between 1974 and 1978.
“Before his appointment as my administration’s first Head of Service (HOS) in 1999, Alhaji Rafiu Tinubu had served with dedication and distinction in various administrative positions both in the State Civil Service and Local Government Service over a period of two decades.

“His experience and dexterity in the complex politics of the public service was of tremendous value to my administration and helped to gradually build and sustain a cordial working relationship between the political class and the bureaucratic machinery of the public service.

“I recall that at the inception of my administration, there was a protracted labour crisis between the government and the public service as a result of the new minimum wage of N7, 500.00, which the state was unable to pay at the time due to the near insolvent state of its finances.

“Alhaji Tinubu’s experience and wise counsel played a crucial role in enabling us go through that difficult period and forge a relationship of mutual trust, confidence and respect by both parties especially as the capacity of our administration to meet our welfare obligations to workers systematically grew as a result of our far-reaching reforms.

“His advice helped us greatly in appointing a team of highly capable, experienced and dedicated Permanent Secretaries who played indelible roles in our administration’s success in laying a solid foundation for the continuing transformation of Lagos.

“At the same time, we commenced during his tenure as HOS, the reorganization, reequipping and transformation of the Lagos State Public Service to the pride of place it occupies in Nigeria’s public administration today.

“Alhaji Rafiu Tinubu was particularly passionate about recruiting new, talented hands into the Service, which commenced with the employment of 5000 fresh graduates into the civil service in Y2000 popularly known as the millennium staff. It is gratifying that these have today risen to critical managerial positions in the Service.
“The late Rafiu Tinubu came, saw and gave his very best to the development of the Lagos State Civil Service, Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole. I condole with his wives, his children, the extended Tinubu family, all his loved ones as well as the government and people of Lagos State on this sad loss.

“I pray that his soul rest in perfect peace with his creator (Amin).”

hmmm

“I recall that at the inception of my administration, there was a protracted labour crisis between the government and the public service as a result of the new minimum wage of N7, 500.00, which the state was unable to pay at the time due to the near insolvent state of its finances.

“Alhaji Tinubu’s experience and wise counsel played a crucial role in enabling us go through that difficult period and forge a relationship of mutual trust, confidence and respect by both parties especially as the capacity of our administration to meet our welfare obligations to workers systematically grew as a result of our far-reaching reforms.

“His advice helped us greatly in appointing a team of highly capable, experienced and dedicated Permanent Secretaries who played indelible roles in our administration’s success in laying a solid foundation for the continuing transformation of Lagos.

“At the same time, we commenced during his tenure as HOS, the reorganization, reequipping and transformation of the Lagos State Public Service to the pride of place it occupies in Nigeria’s public administration today.

“Alhaji Rafiu Tinubu was particularly passionate about recruiting new, talented hands into the Service, which commenced with the employment of 5000 fresh graduates into the civil service in Y2000 popularly known as the millennium staff. It is gratifying that these have today risen to critical managerial positions in the Service.

“The late Rafiu Tinubu came, saw and gave his very best to the development of the Lagos State Civil Service, Lagos State and Nigeria as a whole. I condole with his wives, his children, the extended Tinubu family, all his loved ones as well as the government and people of Lagos State on this sad loss.

“I pray that his soul rest in perfect peace with his creator (Amin).”
