[url][/url]This child was in the streets for 8 good months. I'm sure several individuals who profess to be very religious must have passed by without lending a helping hand. The highest they must have done is maybe to throw a snack or food at the child. It took the tender, loving effort of a white lady to rescue this innocent child, now named Hope, from the claws of imminent death. So saddddd. Why don't we help ourselves in Nigeria? Whyyyyyy?

Perhaps you must have seen this heart-rendering photo online of a white lady giving a little child who looked dehydrated and malnourished a drink of water.

It is sad that such kind of photos could only emanate from Africa and it usually takes the effort of the foreign press to bring the attention of the world to their plight.

Sadly, the child in this photo is not from Darfur or any other war torn African enclave but is from Nigeria. Somewhere in Akwa-Ibom state where the issue of witch-craft is rife.

Story has it that the boy, who has been named Hope was left for dead on the streets by his family, who thinks he is a witch.

Hope survivied on the streets for eight months, feeding on scraps thrown at him by passers by.

Fortunately, on January 31, Hope was rescued by a Danish humanitarian aid-worker, Miss Anja Ringgren Loven, who discovered him naked, emaciated, and wandering the streets with his body riddled with worms.

Miss Anja, who has a Nigerian partner with whom she has a son, took Hope to the hospital where he was given a thorough bath. Thereafter Hope was treated of the worms and given blood transfusion to replenish his obviously depleted red blood cells.

Already, Miss Anja who runs a children orphanage, has received donations to the tune of $1 million from donors from around the world after asking the community for fund to settle Hope's medical bills.

She's hoping to build a hospital for neglected children like Hope besides giving Hope the best of treatment.

GOD BLESS YOU MA

What a cute child!!! God bless the lady

Hope even when life seems hopeless.

Wickedness reigns in Nigeria. How can anyone accuse this little child of witchcraft. We would go to any length to defend our religion. But the very essence of the religion which is Love, we neglect.

God bless this woman.

Abi na! Am even surprised that some set of people are still practicing the act of abandoning kids for witchcraft in this modern age. No be winch dey sabi winch? Some parents sha......how can you carry a pregnancy for 9months and abandon the baby cos of witchcraft? why not take hm/her for deliverance...

Yall have no idea the kind of man I am. Ignore what you see around here.

The reason I became very vicious is because the PDP supporters refused to be reasonable. Go back on my timeline before the election and you'd see a part of the real me. I hardly hate people and VERY good at charity.

Even as we speak, I have some yams and half a bag of rice in the trunk of my car, and as I drive around, I look out for people I think need them. Was driving along a street yesterday, saw a lady bathing her child outside, from the look of their crib, I just imagined she wouldn't mind the handout. Pulled over, called her attention and when she came over, asked her if she'd like to have some but she declined.

I just drove on.

Hopefully, will find someone real soon.

I'm not what most of yall might think I am.

Lalasticlala. E be like this ur bday jolly don dey lazy you oo.

Its disheartening that we love taking pictures and posting on nairaland, facebook et al of people's plight we see on he go daily but lending a helping hand? No way! No in Africa, not in Nigeria. We claim to trust in God and even worship him eight days in a week, 25hrs daily, yet we are sore afraid of witches and wizards getting to us through our help. Shame on us.
Thankfully there are good and charitable Nigerians around

Africa and superstition. I don't know why we are so wicked. Just imagine someone with body arts/tattoo all over 90% of her body, who will be taken as an irresponsible person has proven to be among the few responsible persons in a country filled with hypocrites called pastors and imams.

I thought tattoo make's one irresponsible

Wow! What a beautiful child

Such a cute smile in the last pics. **hugs**hugs**
So impressive. Great effort.
God bless Mrs. Anja!! God Bless, little Hope.

Going to church or mosque everyday of the week does not make you Godly

bros u funny oo

Oyibo people? Trust them even with her tattoo doesn't stop her from caring just like some of them helped igbos during d war may our lord allways bless oyibo with tecnology while we in Nigeria keep arguing of who invented amala or akpu or tuwo ,but as for the British government God will surely deal with u people one day for joining us with people from Mali chad Niger and u called us one Nigerian ,for Yoruba people I ve nothing against them , but as at is now may northerners rule this country for 80 year as long they ve nepa bill as certificate

So saddened!
This best explains the word - "witch-hunting" in Nigeria setting. Dasuki and Co should be abandoned, and suffer like the innocent Child (though in Prison)!

So it took a foreigner to pick up an abandoned child on the road, feed and clothe.

This story will be remembered

Thank God for his life. so we still have some barbaric culture. I assumed they have all been exterminated.
