By Rilwan Muhammad Former governor of Jigawa State, Alhaji Sule Lamido, has accused President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of not telling Nigerians the true situation of the country and his administration. Lamido, a chieftain of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP), also accused former President Muhammadu Buhari of not being transparent with Nigerians during his time. Lamido leveled the accusations when he featured on BBC Hausa service program ‘Gane Mini Hanya’. He said the two administrations prioritised propaganda rather than telling Nigerians the actual state of the nation unlike during the time PDP governed the country. 13 passengers burnt to death in Ondo auto crash Tinubu doesn’t interfere in our operations –NNPCL “Buhari’s and Tinubu’s governments are not being transparent with Nigerians unlike during the time when PDP was in power where everything was transparent and open to all Nigerians. “But with the coming of Buhari, deception and propaganda became tools for running the government.” Lamido also faulted President Tinubu’s loan requests, lamenting that “what the government is telling Nigerians is different from what it is executing.” “If Nigerians are being told the truth then there is nothing wrong with that, but how would you budget N30tn, generate N50tn and then request loan when you have a surplus of N20tn.” he said, making reference to last year’s budget. He further added, “This recklessness and clear-cut selfishness is not done anywhere in the world, but yet you find (some) Nigerians supporting it. Visit social media and see how APC is being criticised, being referred to as calamity, yet you find some protecting it.” Join Daily Trust WhatsApp Community For Quick Access To News and Happenings Around You. Bola Tinubu country's situation Nigerians Sule Lamido TruthIF you're planning a tasty creamy mash for your Christmas dinner, look no further. A cooking expert has shared her tips for perfecting the festive side dish. The chef revealed that you've probably been making your mash all wrong. According to the expert, we need to stop boiling our spuds in water if we want it to be extra creamy - yes, you heard that correctly. If you want to make the best mashed potatoes, you need to boil your potatoes in milk. Rosie Gill, director of Milk Street Cooking School, took to social media to share her mashed potatoes recipe - leaving many open-mouthed. She explained that it’s time to stop boiling your potatoes in water - as you’ll need to use milk instead. She revealed: “We simmer your mashed potatoes in milk, not water! And here’s why. “Potatoes are like pasta, they release starches into their cooking liquid. “That becomes liquid gold - allowing us to get lush, silky, creamy, mashed potatoes. “When you throw out water that you cook your potatoes in, you throw all that starch down the drain, so you’re wasting it. “The milk becomes our cooking liquid - and a replacement for heavy cream.” As she showed off her finished side dish, she added: “We just mash the potatoes directly in the pot - no mixer needed. “And that is how we get still creamy, but not too heavy, mashed potatoes.” Rosie later confirmed: “In the case of pasta, you want to reserve some of that liquid to give the sauce a luscious shine and bind it to the noodles. “In mashed potatoes, cooking in milk, and preserving that starchy liquid, gives your potatoes a natural creaminess and allows you to skip the weighty heavy cream.” The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @177milkstreet, has clearly left many stunned, as it was shared just one day ago, but has quickly gone viral, and has racked up a staggering 3.3 million views. Foods must be stored correctly to keep them fresh and prevent the spread of bacteria. Nutrition expert Birgit Brendel said bread will last longer when stored in the fridge or freezer. However, this can compromise the flavour. Storing in ceramic or pottery containers is an alternative that allows for air to flow easily and slow the growth of mould. Robert Morris, managing director of food safety consultants, Complete Food Safety, revealed the best place to store fresh fruit and vegetables. He said salad foods should be stored in the fridge drawer, but away from anything grown in the soil such as carrots, parsnips and beetroot. Tomatoes are an exception to the rule as fridges can alter the natural ripening process and diminish their taste. He also advised against putting avocados and bananas in the fridge as this will cause them to blacken quicker. But social media users were divided at the cooking tip - while some were impressed, not everyone was as keen. One person said: “Awesome tip! I’m married to this from now on!” Another added: “Brilliant.” A third commented: “Genius.” Whilst another food fan beamed: “Great idea.” However, not everyone was impressed with the foodie’s hack and many revealed that they didn’t actually think her mash looked that great. One user claimed: “Tried it - weird mush. Prefer chicken broth or chicken stock with water.” A second penned: “Looks v lumpy.” Someone else chimed in: “They don't look smooth though.” Whilst another wrote: “That mash looks way too wet.” Fabulous will pay for your exclusive stories.

Proving that celebrity podcasts are so 2024, Matthew McConaughey will be getting into the blogging game (alright, technically the newsletter game) in 2025. Lyrics of Livin’ will find McConaughey dispensing thoughts and words of wisdom, with the actor describing it as “five minutes with McConaughey as you end your week and head into your weekend” (via People ). The free weekly missive will debut Jan. 3, with new installments arriving every Friday at 5 p.m. ET. McConaughey will also record and release an audio version of the newsletter every week. In explaining his decision to launch Lyrics of Livin’, McConaughey said, “I’ve journaled and scribbled down good times, bad times, turn-offs and turn-ons for more than four decades now, and as you may know, many of those journal entries were what inspired my book Greenlights . Which got me thinking, what if I didn’t wait 40 more years to share my thoughts, prescribes, tips, truths and inspirations: Things I’ve seen, said, stole and heard along my way that can help us find more Greenlights in our life and put a little rhyme to our reason.” He even had a very specific reason for deciding to drop it on Friday, his favorite day of the week. “A true parlay day, the first half of Friday’s about responsibility and WORK, and the second half is about freedom and PLAY — and Friday also comes with a 48-hour runway — before we get back to Monday,” McConaughey said. The actor offered a bit of a preview of the newsletter in a short video shared on social media. It found him typing away at his laptop while musing about the lyrics to Kool and the Gang’s “Get Down On It”: “How you gonna do it if you really don’t wanna dance/By standing on the wall?/Get your backs up off the wall.” McConaughey then adds: “A few minutes after Kool and the Gang told us to do just that, we got reminded to get our hearts off the ground, our spirits in flight day and night, telling gravity to have a bit of a fuck off. So, let’s get our hips a swiggin’ above the holes the moles be digging. Time to go to work, break a sweat. Time for me, you, and all the nations to get us some elevation. A roof is a man made thing, let’s fly.”
