Lion bites car tyre causing it to explode, family trapped inside

A family on safari were left in a serious dilemma after a lion bit through one of their car tyres, leaving them stranded in the middle of South Africa's Kruger National Park.

Schoolboy Sean Obeirne was with his family when he noticed a large, male lion come up to the back of their car and stare in at them. 

One of the lion singled out another oncoming car and after sniffing around the bonnet and bumper moved on to check out the tyres.

The lion then unexpectedly clamped its jaws on to the tyre, while the family watch from inside recording the events unfold.

Suddenly a loud bang and hissing of air is heard as the tyre exploded, forcing the shocked lion to leap backwards. 

But the family were then left trapped inside the car dozens of miles away from help and with no way of changing the tyre surrounded by the pride.

Still filming, Sean Obeirne's family pull alongside the stricken car and gets them to drive along the road, away from the lions where they park next to each, other using car doors as shields.

Sean's father gallantly gets out his jack and changes the car tyre so the family can carry on their way. 

Sean said after seeing the lion begin biting the car tyre: 'There was an almighty bang and the lion investigating the car ran off in fright.

'It took a second to register what had happened but once we had, the intensity of laughter tripled.

'We laughed and laughed and only after a monumental giggling session did we realised that perhaps this situation was not so funny for occupants of the affected vehicle.

'We then went over to investigate and offer a helping hand.

'To my shock one of the people in the now three-wheeled car was a prefect at my school, an older cool boy, who I otherwise would never have interacted with outside of school.

'Once the shock had faded, my dad began helping to change the tyre. We made sure we were as far away from the lions as the car with the flat tyre could manage.

'The tyre changing went as smoothly as could be expected in such a setting and we managed to make it to breakfast no more than 3 and a half hours late.'

Giant python attacks Indonesian man before being eaten

Pekanbaru, Indonesia | AFP | A giant python attacked an Indonesian man, nearly severing his arm, before hungry villagers chopped up the reptile and ate it, a police chief said Wednesday.

Security guard Robert Nababan crossed paths with the giant creature while patrolling an oil palm plantation in the remote Batang Gansal subdistrict of Sumatra island on Saturday.

“The python was 7.8 metres long (25.6 feet), it was unbelievably huge,” local police chief Sutarja, who like many Indonesians only has one name, told AFP.

Sutarja said the 37-year-old Nababan, who sometimes liked to eat snake, tried to catch the giant python and stuff it in a gunny sack.

But the huge serpent fought back and bit him on his left arm, nearly severing it from his body.

Nababan was then rushed to a hospital in a neighbouring town for treatment.

The police chief said the intervention of another security guard and several local residents, one of whom hit the snake with a log, helped to save the man’s life.

Hungry locals later killed the snake and displayed its body in the village before dicing it up, frying it and feasting on it.

Giant python, which regularly top 20 feet in length, are commonly found in Indonesia and the Philippines.

In March, a 25-year-old Indonesian farmer has been discovered inside the belly of a giant python after the swollen snake was caught near where the man vanished while harvesting his crops on the eastern island of Sulawesi.

Crowd Cheers as Woman Raped, Beaten, Decapitated and Later Drank her Blood (Photos)

A woman was publicly raped, whipped and decapitated by Congo rebels who later drank her blood after she served them ‘forbidden fish’. 

Crowds cheered when the woman was dragged naked through the streets of Luebo to her death after the rebel leader sentenced her and her step-son served the fish in their family restaurant.

The Kamuina Nsapu rebel fighters stop having sex, washing themselves, eating meat and fish when they enter battle and they believed eating the meal had removed their protection.

Video footage has surfaced on Whatsapp after it was circulated after being filmed on April 8.

Luebo resident told France 24: ‘They said she gave them beans that contained pieces of a small, local fish.

‘Convinced that she had broken their protection charms, the council of rebels led by a man named Kabata sentenced both the woman and the son of her husband’s second wife [the young man was also working there that day] to commit incest in public.’

The rebels, after the public rape, beheaded the woman and the young man, believed to be in his 20s, with machetes, several then drank their blood.

The bodies were left on show in the town centre before being moved to a local cemetery. The killings took place when the rebels held Luebo, which has a population of 40,000, for 20 days from March 31 before the Congolese army forced them out.

During their short grip on power they killed about ten people, including two police officers and Luebo’s administrator’s as well as burned buildings, took over the local church and banned people from working and school.

The rebel movement cyrstalised when tribal chief Kamuina Nsapu was killed by the Congolese army in August 2016. His death sparked widespread violence and horrific crimes including rapes, torture and the use of child soldiers.

The violence has claimed more than 3,300 lives, according to the influential Roman Catholic Church, and displaced 1.4 million people with both the Government backed militia and the rebels accused of atrocities.

Meet the 43-year-old Man With Four Wives and Ten Children (Photos)

A man has found himself in the spotlight after showing off his four wives and ten children in a new reality television show.

Musa Mseleku and his four wives

His wives have described him as a loving, humble and respectful man who provides for his family. Musa Mseleku is a 43-year-old man from KwaZulu-Natal, who has four wives and 10 children.

His story and that of his family is being featured on Mzansi Magic as a new reality show called Uthando Nes’thembu. His first wife is MaCele, a woman Mseleku said was not a woman of many words but would strike back if provoked. She is, however, open about her feelings.

“She will tell you when she likes or dislikes something,” said her husband.

The second wife is MaYeni, who is calm, but will push back when necessary. Mseleku has described her as a good listener who will ask for clarification when she does not understand what you’re saying.

The third wife is [Thobile] MaKhumalo who Mseleku described as an open book. She used to hide her feelings before but is now more open.

His fourth wife, MaNgwabe, is quiet and can hold a grudge for a long time, said her husband.

“She always reminds me of past incidences when I forgot to do something,” said Mseleku.

He first met his second wife, MaYeni. At the time, he did not think he would enter into polygamy. When he finally made up his mind about having more than one wife, her family did not approve of it.

As he was still waiting for his then girlfriend to approve of their relationship, he met MaCele, the first wife, whose family did not have a problem with polygamy, so he married her first.

The last two wives were introduced to each other when they were still his girlfriends, and have been close friends since. His wives have described him as a loving, humble and respectful man who provides for his family.

Though some may say Mseleku has more than enough children, he said he chose polygamy because he would like to have 20 children. Mseleku admitted that polygamy was not easy, but said money made things easier, as he could afford to take care of his family.

All his wives live in separate nice houses and have two cars each. There is a family mechanic, and a driver to take his children to school. Though he did not tell us the exact number, Mseleku said he had more than 15 cars, with all of them having personalised plates saying “thanxma”.

He did it as a way of thanking his mother who passed on after a long illness. Before she died, he said his mother told him he would never be poor in life, and she was right.

We were not told what he does for living, but the man is rolling in cash. This is what Twitter detectives found out about Mseleku, who is apparently an author:

His lifestyle has led to a lot of mixed reactions on Twitter, with some saying polygamy is better than cheating, while some said they could never be in a polygamous marriage.

Fake Buhari: Fani Kayode Gives 32 Reasons to Show Buhari Has Been Cloned

Fake Buhari: Fani Kayode Gives 32 Reasons to Show Buhari Has Been Cloned

The ridiculous rumours making rounds in Nigeria is that President Muhammadu Buhari is still in London, United Kingdom and a cloned version is presently presiding over the Aso Rock Villa in Abuja.

Former Minister of Aviation, Olufemi Olukayode has taken to Facebook to buttress Nnamdi Kanu's claim of President Buhari being substituted with a double who now parades himself as the President.

He highlighted some observations to support the claim.

See the observations below.

Been thinking...

1. Buhari went for surgery in January.

2. The story was that he didn't quite make it and was brain-dead.

3. Aisha came back crying in April.

4. Aisha was later barred by Mamman Daura and Abba Kyari from seeing Buhari.

5. In June/July, Buhari started receiving visitors in London.

6. Story was that he was always laughing (methinks his double was still learning the ropes and was always laughing to hide what he didn't know).

7. Buhari supposedly arrived Nigeria in July.

8. The Buhari wasn't holding meetings or seen in public.

9. The Buhari became more vicious (even beyond his own evil threshold).

10. Ango Abdulahi had earlier alleged he was a double Buhari.

11. FFK had a private interview alleging it was a double (buhari's look-alike, Jubrin from Sudan) masquerading as president buhari.

12. AIT was threatened with calamity should the interview be aired.

13. The interview was docked and AIT paid.

14. Nnamdi Kanu alleged he was Jubrin, buhari's look-alike from Sudan and not Buhari.

15. The Army was sent to attack Nnamdi Kanu and kidnap him.

16. The attack was most unwise and was too risky to the country, yet it happened (the cabal wants the story dead by whatever means).

17. The IPOB attack backfired.

18. The world powers commenced asking questions.

19. The London surgeons are being questioned.

20. America, UK, France are smelling blood and seek engagements.

21. Buhari or Jubrin/Cabal are vulnerable and pull out of most global organizations.

22. The alleged double (buhari's look-alike, Jubrin from Sudan) doesn't look up the few times he's in public.

23. The alleged double seems 15yrs younger.

24. The alleged double is somewhat shorter than the twin.

25. The alleged double has a different earlobe.

26. The alleged double has a hairline a distance away from the ears.

27. The alleged double is darker brown.

28. No one undergoing chemotherapy would have facial hair intact at the time.

29. The new Buhari sees without glasses.

30. The new one has a different nose; beaked like an Arab's.

31. Zahra complains to the minister and not her father.

32. The Army is suddenly very powerful and extremely dumb!
