Step 3: Cooking Fried Rice:
Parboil the Rice

After you finished boiling the rice, you will rinse it with cold water and put in a sieve, the sieve will get the parboiled rice from the water.
2. Pour the Chicken Into a Sieve
The next thing to do is by pouring the chicken stock into a sieve in other to remove all forms of onions and thyme used in cooking the chicken. Then, empty the stock into a pot and set to boil.

3. Water Ratio Be On Same Level With Rice
Consider the water level to add to be somewhat less than the level of the parboiled rice; better still, it should be at the same level as the rice.
This will ensure that all the water dries up by the time the rice is done so that the rice will not be overcooked. The water quantity is what will cook the rice so that the grains will not stick together.
How To Do It
Stir the rice in the pot;
Cover the pot,
Leave it to cook on medium heat.
This will save the rice from burning before the water dries up.
Immediately the water dries up, the rice should be cooked once and for all. Preparing perfect fried rice is by separating the grains from one another, contrary to the appetite which is not too hard to endure.
4. Transfer It To Another Bowl
Then, transfer the rice to a dish or another pot to assist cool it down quickly. Again, this is required to keep the grains from sticking to themselves. If you leave it in the main hot pot, the rice will continue to cook and eventually gets burn.
5. Divide The Vegetables
This is the point where it is advisable to divide the vegetables into different sizes – 4, 5 or even 6 equal parts-. All the rice will be fried in sets, although this number depends on the quantity of rice you can easily fry in the pan or pot. Also, divide the cooked rice and the sliced cow liver into the same quantities parts.
6. Time To Fried the Rice

This is the time to spill a small amount of vegetable oil into a frying pan. This amount of oil should be such that would be absorbed by 1 part of the cooked rice and another part of the vegetables. Then, when the oil gets hot, add one part of diced onions and stir for about 10 seconds, followed by a part of diced cow liver, one part each of the sliced vegetables, then a per cent of cooked rice.
7. Add The Following Ingredients
Add more salt if necessary.
Add more curry powder,
Add more oils.
Repeat all this process for the remaining batches of the ingredients. You can add all this to the dish at this stage if you need to spice up the colour of the meal. Mix it up until all the ingredients have blended well before you transfer it to another dry spot.
The is all it required to prepare the fried rice because you’re good to go. Spice the dish up blending it up with a fried chicken, you can add coleslaw, Moi Moi and Nigerian salad are not left out.
Please Note:

Effective January 1, 2023, Thom Browne will succeed Tom Ford, who completed a three-year term at the end of May, as the Chairman of the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). In the interim, Steven Kolb has served as Chief Executive Officer of the CFDA and will continue to do so through December 31, 2022.
Browne joins past CFDA chairs, including Diane von Furstenberg, Stan Herman, Carolyne Roehm, Perry Ellis, Mary McFadden, Bill Blass, Herbert Kasper, Oscar de la Renta, Norman Norell, and Sydney Wragge.
“I am very excited about taking on the chairmanship of the CFDA…,” said Browne. “I feel a huge responsibility in working with Steven and the CFDA team to carry on the positive and important work of Tom, Diane and Stan. I also feel that it is important to give back to an industry that has supported me so well over the last 20 years. I am so proud to be an American designer… there is so much happening in American design today that the world needs to really see and recognize and truly appreciate.”
Browne’s career trajectory aligns with the CFDA’s values: he launched his eponymous label in 2003 and has since established a recognizable line that reframes and reconceptualizes suiting and tailoring with inventive, subversive details. The brand’s grey dresses, jackets, and pants are distinct, bearing a recognizable red, white, and blue-striped insignia. Thom Browne Chairman CFDA
He has been the recipient of the CFDA’s prestigious Menswear Designer of the Year award three times—in 2006, 2013, and 2016—and he was also a runner-up winner of the 2005 CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund.
“Thom understands the steps that are required to build an American fashion business that’s both successful and highly respected by the global fashion community,” said CFDA Chief Executive Officer Steven Kolb, in a statement. “He started as an independent menswear collection in New York, and developed his brand into a fast-growing, profitable business with a strong global presence.”
Over the summer, Thom Browne launched its first-ever retail presence in France at the private EPI club in Saint-Tropez. The effort marked a collaboration with architect Flavio Albanese, with whom the label has previously partnered.

arding off the declining temps’ effects seems to be a complementary feature of fall jackets this year with the majority of offerings prioritizing style. Well, that’s a pleasure to hear for some who think the colder seasons often stifle fashion’s potential. Once the cold bats its eyelids in the announcement of its awakening, we know it’s time to scamper into our wardrobes and line up our utilitarian coats, and this Fall, they are absolutely trendy.
This season, designers say, “hold up, we got your sartorial needs on lockdown” with a variety of fall jacket options to keep the fashion energy on an all-time high. Think quilts, boxy and oversize options, and a wide color spectrum with limitless styling possibilities for this season’s outerwear options.
Check out 7 on-point fall jackets to keep the energy up…
#1. Trench coat
There’s no better time to work the trench coat into your fall must-haves. It’s the best ally for expertly layering the season and a classic way to remain stylish. Trench coats are easy to style when you lean into the traditional fall color scheme, but there’s still an oomph that surfaces with eclectic accessorizing. A brown and beige combo styled with a structured bag and knee-high boots is the added sophistication required to vamp up the classic trench coat.
Shop editor’s finds
#2. Bomber jacket
Bomber fall jackets are classic transitional pieces to cozy up in. This year’s fashion weeks from New York to Paris had style stars reinvent the bomber jackets. Play with proportions in oversize and quilted options, or pack a whole punch in colorful versions this autumn. Their versatile styling potential makes them apt to sport with both cargo pants or a chic slip dress.
Shop editor’s edit
#3. Leather jacket
It’s leather weather after all, and this fall put a twist on leather jackets. Think boxy, deconstructed, vibrant hues and tailored variations. Leather is a surefire way to do fall in style. With this season’s moto of vintage-inspired counterparts, it’s easy to pull off a leather-on-leather look without serving major rock star vibes (if that’s the aim).
Shop editor’s picks
#4. Shackets
A stylish lightweight outerwear is everyone’s favorite fall go-to. A layering essential ready to be worn without further ado, and still maintains a dose of polish. This laid-back trend has models and celebrity off duty looks on chokehold, and are great buys. To vamp up the laissez-faire appearance, throw on a belt to accentuate the midriff. If you’re big on the laid-back trend, style with turtlenecks and knitwear for a fall ready look.
Shop editor’s curation
#5. Tweed jacket
Tweed jackets are hot right now, and there’s no limit to its styling potential. With the houndstooth tweed jacket taking the lead, these trendy fall jackets are perfect for work and date nights. Tweed can work on a dress, distressed denim, skirts, and wide hemmed pants—every single look would continually be a hit.
Shop editor’s selection
#6. Denim jacket
From age to age, denim jackets have the same effect on style stars. Designers aren’t willing to let them go, and celebrities are eager for the twist on each season’s runway trend. With 80s and 90s fashion back in the scenes, denim with embellishments and patch works are back, and are suitable for any occasion. Rocking denim jackets in fall is a wise choice for unpredictable season weather changes.
Shop editor’s recommendation
#7. Puffer jacket
These fall jackets are insulating and fashionable, probably the reason they are still a hot trend in 2022. Their urban appeal makes them street wear essentials for fall and winter. If you’re not big on the heavy puffers, there are lightweight options with less-obvious puffs. And let’s be realistic, these thin layered coats won’t keep us warm when the dropping temps hit lower. An extra puffy jacket to snuggle up in without compromising style is a keeper.

Here are other ways to sport fall jackets in 2022…

How to Pull off Chic Fashion Style
1. Experiment with Cut-outs
It doesn’t have to be deep cut-outs that expose your back and midriff.
It could be a dress with a plunging neckline, backless/sleeveless tops/dresses, distressed jeans, or cut-outs around your thighs, sleeves, shoulders, etc.
2. Keep Your Blazers Handy
Using a blazer to layer your outfit gives you a refined look. It’s one dose of sophistication you shouldn’t miss if you aim to look chic now and always.
3. Wear Clothes with Standout Details
From voluminous sleeves to bold colors, unique collars, loud prints, busy hems, and what have you, chic fashion involves standing out from the crowd. What better way to do so than with statement outfits?

That doesn’t sound like you? Not a problem. Consult our guide on how to walk comfortably in heels to learn right away
6. Always Accessorize
No matter how few your accessories may be, they always transform your outfit. And this is one thing chic ladies understand.
So, never fail to tie a scarf around your neck, hair, or wrist. Wear your jewelry, don a hat, and rock your handbag.
These little add-ons always magnify your style.
7. Your Style Before Trends
A chic fashionista never fails to prioritize her style before any other thing. She puts her needs first before trends. She wears what she deems stylish and comfortable whether or not it’s in vogue.
And that’s what you should do if you wanna exude chic fashion style.
Furthermore, adapting this style is easy. Just because it’s chic doesn’t mean you should invest in luxe pieces and high-end fashion all the time.
Sometimes, thrift clothing does the magic. Because it doesn’t matter where you shop from. What matters is how you combine and execute your style.

Osun State Governorship Election Petition Tribunal will on October 26 begin a full hearing of the petition filed by Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) against the declaration of Senator Ademola Adeleke as governor-elect.
Lifestyle Nigeria reports that the tribunal made this pronouncement after concluding the pre-hearing session on Thursday.
The tribunal was asked to dismiss the applications of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), seeking the discontinuation of the petition brought to it by Governor Oyetola.
Counsel for Oyetola and the APC, Lasun Sanusi, SAN, at the sitting of the tribunal argued that Adeleke’s, PDP’s and INEC’s reliance on a Federal Court High judgment was nothing but an abuse of court process.
Sanusi argued this while replying to separate applications of the trio, seeking the dismissal of the petition based on the already appealed Federal High Court judgment disqualifying Oyetola from contesting the election.
Citing Supreme Court decisions in the case of Jegede Vs INEC, 2021, 14NWLR, Pt 1797, page 409, the counsel said the court had ruled that the signatories to the letter conveying the nomination of a candidate were not the nominators; rather, the nomination was done by party members at the congress, hence, the judgment could not stand.
Meanwhile, the counsel for INEC, Prof. Paul Ananaba, SAN; counsel for Adeleke, Onyechi Ikpeazu, SAN and counsel for the PDP, Dr. Alex Izinyon, SAN, agreed that any decision the tribunal would take on the matter would have to wait until the Appeal Court and the Supreme Court decided on it.
They noted that they just decided to argue the applications to have it on record, a position which the tribunal agreed with and put on record.
Also, in other applications totalling nine by the three respondents, they asked the tribunal to strike out some paragraphs of the petition on the grounds that they were either lumped together or not related to the 2022 election.
In response to each of the applications, Sanusi said all the cases cited by the respondents were misconceived, adding that they were not applicable in the instance case.
He cited the case of INEC Vs Otti, 2016, 8NWLR, where the Supreme Court hinted that INEC was supposed to be neutral, arguing that all the processes filed before the panel have not portrayed the commission’s neutrality.
Sanusi further argued that the applications filed by the respondents were only meant to prevent the tribunal from focusing on hearing the petition on merit, asking the panel to dismiss the applications.
Subsequently, counsel for all parties in the matter agreed to begin the full hearing starting with the calling of witnesses on October 26.
In his ruling, the tribunal declared the pre-hearing session concluded and announced that the pre-hearing conference report would be presented on October 17.
