A non-government organisation, the Humanist Association for Peace and Social Tolerance Advancement and its partner, Child’s Rights and Rehabilitation Network, said the boy was being taken care of by the groups. The Senior Project Manager of the organisation, Mr. Ayobami Ojedokun, told our correspondent in Uyo on Tuesday that Okon was under the care of his paternal aunt, identified simply as Ekaeyen, at Etebi community in the Esit Eket Local Government Area of the state as his parents had died. He said a few days ago, Okon was aroused from sleep by Ekaeyen who took him to her husband and asked him to confess to being a wizard. He added that when Okon denied the witchcraft accusation, his aunt threatened to throw him into a river. Ojedokun said Ekaeyen, true to her words, on November 16, took Okon to the Imo River and threw him into the water with the hope that he would drown. continue reading here: http://..com/2014/11/10-year-old-boy-thrown-into-river-for.html |

Sometimes, one has to pause and wonder if the Abrahamic gods jerk off to acts of ignorance. This is just getting depressing. And some will come here to convince us that Jesus is the answer... how can the problem be the solution?  How can people claim to love the Creator, but hate his creation? Must belief in God negate commonsense? 1 Like |

musKeeto:It's true that most christians and most other religion adherents claim to love God but hate the creation. that is the problem, not Jesus or christianity. people practicing religions are the problem. they terribly misinterprete and misunderstand the good intention of these religions 1 Like |

Alexis86:Whatever message lends its interpretation to faith rather than common sense and reason will have no 'right' meaning or purpose. |
