This is official, this snake is currently the biggest that have ever been seen by MEN in this modern time of ours. It was one of two enormous boas found by workers clearing forest for a new road in Malaysia. They apparently woke up the sleeping snakes during attempts to bulldoze a huge mound of earth.

The post claimed that the digger driver was so traumatised that he suffered a heart attack on his way to the hospital and later died. The dead snake was 55ft (16.7m) long, weighed 300kg and was estimated to be 140 years old.

MAY YOU NEVER HIT SOMETHING THAT WILL TAKE LIFE OUT OF YOU.

A man allegedly impregnated his mother-in-law, only known as Mavhuto, amid claims that she seduced him.

Fungai Mukwena was left with his mother-in-law Gladys Mavhuto in July this year when his wife Ellen went for a one-week church conference in Gokwe, Zimbabwe.

The Mukwenas are members of Zion Christian Church (ZCC) but Fungai could not attend the Gokwe conference because of work commitments. Ellen asked her mother to remain behind looking after the couple’s two children aged two and four.

Ellen said her mother was five months heavy with her husband’s seed.

“I am distressed. I don’t know how to handle this matter but I have already reported to the church authorities.”
ZCC officials were not reachable for a comment.

Ellen added: “I wedded my husband five years ago without issue. Since March my mother would come to spend some time with us getting medical attention as she always complained of pains on her knees. We then asked her to remain behind while I went for a church conference.

“When I came back my husband told me lightheartedly that my mother’s cooking was more delicious than mine. I did not suspect anything bad. I believed my husband, moreover the woman in question is my mother and not a rival. During the last week of November, my mother came back and I noticed that her tummy was bulging. When I enquired to know if she was pregnant, she admitted. She further told me that her boyfriend in the village had impregnated her. It later emerged that my father had chased her away from our rural homestead for adultery,” she said.
Ellen told her mother to look for alternative accommodation but she threatened to blackmail her.

“My husband also pleaded with me to let her stay,.”
Back home, Ellen’s father got wind that his estranged wife was at their daughter’s place and reportedly phoned and shouted at her daughter. Her father’s reaction prompted her to throw her mother out.

She, however, made the startling revelation in a bid to thwart the ouster. On the other hand, Fungai claimed his mother-in-law seduced him by staying naked in the house knowing that she was not alone.

“I would come from work and find her bathing without closing the bathroom door. At first it was embarrassing to me but I later discovered that her actions were an open invitation. I regret it though,” he said. The mother in-law refused to comment.

A 21-year-old woman was allegedly impregnated by her father and is now in dilemma over the custody of the baby.
The tormented woman, Patience Dube, told a weekly newspaper that when she looks at her 2-year-old baby, it reminds her of sad memories of her intimacy with the man whom she looked up to as her father.

“This man (step father) has ruined my life. I wish to finish school but it’s almost impossible. He has brought shame to my life. I feel like dying. I don’t want to set my eyes on him anymore. I can’t look at him in the face. I wish the Government would come and take this baby,” said the visibly tramautised woman.

The last day of 2012, the amiable governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Raji Fashola donated a huge sum of N4.5m being the remaining balance of the N6m money for the ailing Nollywood actress, Ngozi Nwosu’s kidney operation in the United Kingdom.

When MotherLandGist and other social media broke the story a couple of days back, there were rapid response from individual and corporate organizations who all donated their widow’s mite but it was just N2m they could gather before BRF now added the balance and extra N500,000 for miscellaneous. What a perfect new year gift from SAN Fashola, you would say!

Sources told us that Fashola heard about Nwosu’s case a few weeks ago while reading a publication and asked one of his protocol officers to get in touch with her.

‘They got in touch with us and have asked us to meet with them’, a source close to the actress told MotherLandGist. As you are reading this, effort is being made by the medical team to prepare her referrals so as to fly her out immediately. We shall continue to give you details as they come.

Secretary Hillary Clinton was hospitalized today after a doctors doing a follow-up exam discovered a blood clot had formed, stemming from the concussion she sustained several weeks ago.

She is being treated with anti-coagulants and is at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital so that they can monitor the medication over the next 48 hours, Deputy Assistant Secretary Philippe Reines said.

Her doctors will continue to assess her condition, including other issues associated with her concussion. They will determine if any further action is required, Reines said.

Clinton, 65, originally fell ill from a stomach virus following a whirlwind trip to Europe at the beginning of the month, which caused such severe dehydration that she fainted and fell at home, suffering a concussion. No ambulance was called and she was not hospitalized, according to a state department official.

Take care of yourself Hillary. Bill, keep your snake in your pants while your wife is in the hospital. We know how you do…

Talking about controversy, one actress who is synonymous to that is the Nollywood star, Tonto Dikeh who has just been given the Most Controversial Actress of the Year, 2012.

Tonto is a product of the Next Movie Star, since she hit the limelight few years ago, she has never seized to be at the centre of controversies. The outgoing year is no different as, Tonto Dikeh is the most controversial actress who rocked Nollywood in the outgoing year.

Her controversial lifestyle became more glaring this year judging from most of her unbecoming exploits. After the noise generated by her new tattoo last year, Tonto continued with her ‘wild lifestyle’, stepping on people’s toes and damning her critics. She was also alleged to have slept with the boss of Sifax Group, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi for N5m, causing commotion between Taiwo and Rotimi Ajanaku, good pals, as it was believed that Rotimi got her apartment in Abraham Adesanya for her before the cookies crumbled.

Also is her newly released singles, Hi and Itz Ova, did not help matters even though the singles became two of the most listened and downloaded tracks, with over 500,000 views.

Dikeh, who joined the bandwagon of other actors who succumbed to the moonlighting itch to delve into music, was lampooned and criticised by her fans for the uninspiring singles. Yet, she was not deterred.

While she was battling to find her feet in the music circle, her foes romantically linked her to the Kukere crooner, Iyanya who squealers said was seeing Ghanaian leggy actress, Yvonne Nelson.

However, this whole saga began when Yvonne Nelson took to the internet to vent her feelings after Iyanya dumped her for Tonto Dikeh. The drama continued unabated until Tonto Dikeh replied Yvonne’s tweet and the two actresses took their rivalry to Blackberry messenger (BBM) where they threw ‘nasty’ insults at each other.

Nigerian striker, Obafemi Martins is brimming with new life. Following a turbulent stint in the Russian League with Rubin Kazhan, the 28-year-old forward has since rediscovered his prowess in front of goal at Levante. His new lease of life could also be adduced to the fact that he has found love in the form of gorgeous beauty, Abigail Barwuah, Italy and Manchester City striker, Mario Balotelli’s sister.

To save his career from drifting into oblivion, Martins took a big step by taking a huge pay cut (it is speculated to be from an annual salary of €2million to just €600,000) to move to Spain and play for Levante, little known in this part before his move. Less than six months in the region of Valencia, and Martins seems to have taken in the Spanish sunshine and scored six goals in 11 matches. “I’m busy playing now and scoring goals, so I’m happy,”

Martins said at his residence in the upscale Victoria Garden City on the outskirts of Lagos. “You know, as a footballer, you can’t expect everything to be going smoothly all the time. When things are difficult, you try to sort it out yourself, you try to push yourself back up. “What I did was, I made the decision to leave Russia and I’m in Levante now scoring goals. I wanted my fans to know that I can still play and do well.

Alhaji Mujahid Asari-Dokubo, leader of Niger Delta People’s Volunteer Force (NDPVF), is seen differently by Nigerians. For some, he is a troublemaker, while others see him as a sincere and outspoken Nigerian who would not keep quiet when things are not going the way he wants.
In a chat with newsmen, Asari-Dokubo clearly showed this stuff as he slammed President Goodluck Jonathan, who is considered as his benefactor. According to him, the President is losing focus and that may rob him of victory in 2015 if he decides to re-contest the top office.

Would you, in all honesty, say the incumbent administration is on track?

I want to start with an Ijaw proverb, which says that the eyes watched its seven children to death, instead of advising them it was just looking at them until they died while the mouth talked its only child to life and success. We have continued, as Ijaw people and the entire Niger Delta and South-South, to support the presidency of President Goodluck Jonathan, but a time has come when silence cannot be golden. We have to speak out on issues that are critical to the survival of our people, the survival of the people of the South-South and the South East,

which is the political base of Goodluck Jonathan.

Jonathan is surrendered by very greedy people who are only in the presidency to enrich themselves at the expense of Goodluck himself. This brings us to another Kalabari proverb, which says: where there are elders, a goat cannot be allowed to deliver tied to a stick. If we don’t talk and we continue to brush it aside, tomorrow we will be blamed and people will say: Mujahid Asari-Dokubo was around when Goodluck Jonathan was president, and he didn’t talk; then I will be an accomplice and accessory after the fact.

Contrary to rumour flying round that veteran Nollywood actor, Pete Edochie is dead, MotherLandGist can confirm that the actor is not dead as rumoured.

We got from reliable sources who know the actor too well that the legendary role interpreter is hale and hearty. Though we were unable to speak with him directly, but we got from good authorities that the death hoax is totally false with no iota of truth in it.

This is not the first time Pete Edochie is being trailed with death news. In 2011, he was rumoured to be dead until he dispelled the rumour later on.

Trouble really looms for Nigerian young artistes who have suddenly become multi-millionaire courtesy the record label or management for their works of art which of course, have shot them to limelight.

This popularity and affluence they get seems to be having a negative impact on them. Remember the last time; Wizkid was enmeshed in a sex scandal with a woman old enough to be his mother. Davido, popularly called Omo Baba Olowo had some ripples with a cab man that led to Police hunting him about.

As you are reading this, the songster, David Adeleke a.k.a Davido is in the black book of His Eminence, Oba Saheed Elegushi. What happened?

It all went down at the after party of the Dynamix awards which took place at Voodoo Lounge, Elegushi beach. A reliable eye witness stated that B-Red was heavily drunk and was arguing with the King when Davido moved forward to touch the king, a taboo in African culture.

In a flash, the monarch delivered a hot and dirty slap on davido's Face and asked the royal guards to mercilessly beat them. While this was going on, Davido’s bouncers were about to attack the royal guards when the king too ordered that they should be included in the royal beaten.

Though, Davido and B-Red, having realized their error after the whole show, prostrated and apologized to King Saheed when they were corrected by a member of the Crew.

‘These guys are digging their own grave. What exactly is wrong with these young spoilt brats’? Someone from the crowd asked rhetorically.

The 'Save Ngozi Nwosu Campaign' to get the life of Nollywood veteran actress, Ngozi Nwosu, back to her good days is yet to achieve any meaningful result as enough amount of money needed for the campaign has not been realised.

Sources handling the campaign informed us that about N1.5million has been realised at the moment which is still N4.5million less of the N6million needed to save Ngozi's life, which we learnt is presently hanging on the balance.

We learnt that though some good Samaritans have been responding to the call to save the ailing actress from dying, much is still expected from others and her colleagues especially to get the needed N6million urgently because the doctors claim she has to be flown abroad quickly to make her get back to her glorious days soon.

Her account details are given below

Hollywood actor, Denzel Washington, is expected to arrive in Nigeria next week to take part in the shooting of Spider Basket, a new movie funded by Nigerian businessman, Dennis Osadebe.

Osadebe himself arrived in Nigeria from his base in Turkey last Friday in company with his Turkish partner, Abdulkadir Erkahraman.

Osadebe’s decision to invest in the entertainment industry appears driven by his faith in the abundant talents in the country.

“Denzel is just one of many Hollywood stars that I want to witness the talents in this country and to impact significantly on Nollywood. Others are coming. My secaond movie, By Fire by Force, is due to be premiered this month,” Osadebe said.

Osadebe’s DCS Entertainment has signed up two Nigerian artistes, Wandy Boy and V2K.

To many, reconciling top hip hop stars Wizkid and Davido was thought to be a task that cannot be done but we can authoritatively inform you for free that his uphill task has been achieved as both musicians, Wizkid and his erstwhile arch rival, Davido were reconciled recently in Lagos.

To show their reconciliation, both performed together at the EME’s Baddest concert that was held on Friday 21st of December, 2012 at Ocean view restaurant in Victoria Island, Lagos.

It would be recalled that Wizkid and Davido had been at war for over a year now over who is superior, whose music is better and who came into the industry first among other things.

The fight got messier weeks back when the two released singles dissing each.

Wizkid and his EME’s crew first release a song title “Baddest Boyz” to smite Davido, but Davido eventually replied them with his smash hit single 'All of You'.

The Special Assistant to Imo State governor on Public Affairs, Miss Nkiru Sylvanus, who was kidnapped last Sunday by unknown gunmen, Thursday regained her freedom.

The Nollywood actress was abducted, while returning from a location, where she had gone to shoot a film.

While she was still being held, her captors demanded a N100 million ransom.
It was not certain last night if any ransom was paid for her release.

However, the state Commissioner of Police, Mr. Adisa Bolante, confirmed Sylvanus’s release to MotherLandGist, stating that the police were instrumental to her release.

Meanwhile, the police Thursday arrested 16 suspected kidnappers in connection with the incident.

The state Governor, Rochas Okorocha, while reacting to the incident, expressed dismay over the kidnap of his aide, saying this was why he banned sirens and vehicles with tinted glasses in the state.
