  Have you ever been a victim of what I ordered vs what I got debacle? How does a Nigerian tailor disappoint? 1. Don't pay her/him peanuts You saw the outfit on an influencer/actress who paid about N200,000 for the gown, but you want to do the same for you for N2,000. 2. Don't buy the wrong fabric Half of fashion design is fabric, some styles are unattainable if you don’t get the right fabric. If your tailor can’t get the design you want, it’s probably because the fabric can’t make the style with it. 3. Have the right body for the outfit Clothes look better on you based on your body type. If the model or celebrity has a certain shape, you shouldn’t expect it would fit you the same way. So, think of what fits your body well. 4. Don't go to just any tailor Let’s face it, not all tailors are experts at the styles you want them to do, and there is no point having blind faith in them. It’s much easier to use a tailor who a friend or someone you know has recommended. 5. Don't

  There is the myth that a woman with a loose vagina sleeps around with different men. Vaginas like penises come in different shapes and sizes, some are tight, and others are loose. A loose vagina for most women can be a thing of shame and can make intercourse painful. The vagina is a cavity that expands and contracts. The muscle around the vagina is elastic and it can either have a lot of muscle tone or less. Apart from the natural physiology, there are some circumstances where it can appear looser. Too much sex isn't part of it. During arousal, it enlarges. After sex, it returns to its normal shape. During childbirth, a woman’s vagina expands sufficiently to expel the baby and sex might feel strange for a while. It might not return to the exact way it was pre-childbirth. Menopause and ageing can also cause the vaginal muscle to sag. How to tighten the vagina? It is normal to feel weird if your vagina is loose. To tighten it you can; Engage in pelvic tightening exercises. These ar

  Pedro Neto continues to be linked with a move to north London, and with Nicolas Pepe completing his season-long loan to Nice yesterday, an opening in the squad might have just opened up. The Gunners have also shown interest in Yeremy Pino, Moussa Diaby and Wilfried Zaha. Meanwhile, links to Marco Asensio have popped up again. There is still plenty of transfer speculation involving the north Londoners with just a week of the transfer window remaining. Youri Tielemans is still a hot topic of discussion as Arsenal look to strengthen the team before the end of the market. Ainsley Maitland-Niles looks to be edging closer to completing a season-long loan to Southampton. The Gunners have had the perfect start to the 2022/23 campaign, winning all of their opening three Premier League fixtures - the only team in the division to do so. That leaves the North Londoners sitting pretty at the top of the table, with newly-promoted Fulham up next this weekend. Mikel Arteta will hold a press conferen

  The Presidential flagbearer of the Social Democratic Party (SDP) for the 2023 general elections, Prince Adewole Adebayo, has given reasons the prevailing security situation in Nigeria has lingered for so long unabated. Adebayo, who spoke yesterday in Abuja, alleged that a caucus inside the government profits financially from the menace and as such, they allow it to spread and linger so as to sustain their flow of income from it. “There is a caucus inside the federal government that believes that insecurity is an opportunity to spend money and that if it expands, they will spend more money and collect allowances. He warned that by so doing, they are contributing more to the situation”, he stated. Adebayo promised to deal with all manners of insecurity, demand for restructuring and all other forms of agitations if voted into office. “According to him, the difference between Nigeria and other nations was the inability of the Nigerian government to take drastic measures against offenders

  Neal Maupay had not played for Brighton this season; Frenchman scored 26 goals across three campaigns for the Seagulls after £20m move from Brentford in 2019.

  Chelsea close to agreeing deal for defender Wesley Fofana with Leicester with transfer fee believed to be £70m plus add-ons; Blues host Foxes at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, with Frenchman already confirmed as missing game because of speculation.

  Manchester United's pursuit of Ajax's Antony and Chelsea's move for Wesley Fofana are two of the biggest deals being pursued as the summer transfer window edges towards the September 1 deadline. The summer transfer window is nearing its deadline on Thursday and the Premier League still has plenty of deals to be done. Manchester United's 2-1 win over Liverpool on Monday has given  Erik ten Hag  hope for the rest of his reign, but the club remain focused on bringing in reinforcements. The arrival of  Casemiro  may have seen them turn away from long-term midfield target  Frenkie de Jong , but  Ajax star Antony  and perhaps  Barcelona's Memphis Depay  are still on the cards. Chelsea are another of the major players who still have business to conclude. Their priority target is  Leicester City's Wesley Fofana , who is  desperate to move  to London and play for Thomas Tuchel's side. The Blues are also pursuing  Everton winger Anthony Gordon , with Todd Boehly rea
