80 % of men who claimed to be men of God in Nija, are fake'' 20% of them were once a businessmen whose business have failed so they converted to being a servant of God, 15% of them were once traditionalist AKA babalawo....CHILDREN OF GOD have been so enlighten so they don't patronized Babalawo again, so babaawo change his FMT to being a pastor.

witchcraft it's nothing but initiation, just like our normal youth who choose to belong to one confraternity group or other.....most children who become a victim of witchcraft are initiated during birth by certain evil hand's that carry them or place money on their forehead...some are initiated by food, while some are also initiated through dream. Most children who are a victim's of witchcraft today don't even realized they're being posses by such God forsaken spirit's.

Many deceived people say that you can still be a Christian and practice witchcraft, which is false. It’s sad that now there is witchcraft in the church and so-called men of God are allowing this to happen. Some of the so called men of God are also a member of the witchcraft

Witchcraft is from the devil and anyone who practices it will not enter into Heaven. It is an abomination to God!

Its high time we make prayers to be part of us, IF we christian should dine, and wine in prayers.....its 100% certain our household we never become a victims of such circumstance.

Satan is very crafty and we must never let him take control of our lives. If you know anyone who is involved in Witchcraft try to help them to save their life, but if they refuse your help, stay away from that person.

Let's us dedicate our life fully in God hand's so that his tabernacle we be our dwelling place, for those that are in Union with Christ Jesus....when any demon or Witchcraft power failed to initiate you physically'' then we we try in your dream and if you become to strong for them to be initiated in the dream. hopefully they attacked your kid's. so we must let our children to be fully prepared to fight any evil procrastination against them physically and spiritually.


Micah 5:11-12 I will tear down your walls and demolish your defenses. I will put an end to all witchcraft, and there will be no more fortune-tellers.

metromediaboss:
Thousands of stigmatized 'Witch Children' have found refuge at CRARN center, in Akwa Ibom. The children were branded as "witches" by church ministers and have been cast out by their families and shunned by society.

One of them is six-year-old Israel Effiong, from Ikot Uso Ekong, Eket, who was accused of being responsible for his father's illness.[b] Fearing for his life, he ran away and hid in a bush for a year before he was rescued by Edoho,a volunteer with the organisation.
Edoho, himself is former child at CRARN Children Center. He now serves as one of the volunteers who rescue children to the centre.

"When my father became ill and taken to a hospital, my stepmom asked if I knew anything about his illness. I told her that I could not think of anything bad about my father because he's the supporting me," Effiong recounts.

"When his illness took a turn for the worst, my stepmom became angry with me.
In the nights, she'll wake me up, tie my hands and legs then poured wild ants all over my body while asking me to relieve my dad from the witches coven. At times she would tie my hand and legs, began to hit my heads with sticks and electrical wires.
She stopped giving me food and locked me out of the house. I went and told the neighbors living close to us. She said she could not allow me to stay with her because my stepmother will be angry with her.

"The people living around us began to hate me and asked not to come close to their children. I went and slept in the village town hall. One night, some men came and saw me there, they brought me out and asked me to dance as witches. When I told them that I didn't know witches dance, they used sticks and matches to beat me. A man who was passing by came and told them not kill me. They left me and warned me not come there again. I went and stayed in a bush and be coming out in the night to pick up leftover from the market garbage

"One day, I was tired and slept off in the market, a boy by name Edoho came and saw me there and told me he would come back and take me to a safe place where other children like me are living. I told him where I normally stay in the bush.
Yesterday, he came and took me the CRARN Children Center, Eket. I'm very glad to stay here because I would go to school again and sleep without fear of the unknown."

This nonsense should stop already

I'm very surprised that the government of that state has not passed any law to stop this madness after documentaries and countless evidences show that people are committing aggravated assault and murder against innocent kids

Why is the community not interrogating the wife (the boy's stepmom)? She should be the first suspect if foul play is suspected. Afterall, she is the one sleeping with the man and cooking for him. Rather they will point accusing fingers at vulnerable and defenseless kids.

Israel Effiong, I'm very optimistic that you'll be great. You made it boy! You made it!!

This is one boy that if nurtured and cared for properly, he can become a doctor, lawyer or anything he wanna be. The boy survival instinct is outstanding. Living in the bush by himself for 365 days without basic amenities, that boy is a genius. I'm very sure 90% of all these social media adults can't even survive in such bush for a week.

NB: I'm writing an email to Akwa Ibom government to pass bill against this child abuse, and I'm urging well meaning nairalanders that are tired of seeing this kinna story to do same




Kindly provide us email address of the state govt. I want to write a letter to them as well.


It is quite unfortunate that such couldn't be stopped even under the administration of the Gov so called "Uncommon Transformation".

Building roads, stadium, hospital etc are still common thing. A legislation to stop this barbaric act is "Uncommon". But nay!!!

Madness! In a sane society, those parents should be made to face the wrath of the law. It's a pity that our law enforcers are equally useless most of the time.

[size=20pt]An evil spirit of deception masquerading in the camouflage of Christianity has enveloped many churches in Nigeria and other countries.
That is why you see majority of those who claim to be Christians are displaying unchristian characters.[/size].

Omg! This is so inhumane. What is wrong with us? That child has been forced into adulthood before she's ready! One whole year living in the bush! Oluwaseun for safety...she could have been harmed by wild animals.

I hope someone is thinking of arresting the minister, stepmother and even the sick dad. Forrking ritas!

See how sane this thread is. Few pages and less abuses or curses. God help if it was a muslim cleric. We all know how they would have descended on not just the poor cleric but his religion tribe and everything around him.


Moral of stories like these


Christians are hypocrites of the highest order

This is more of a cultural than religious issue. It happens in only that state.

No, it happens in every state, it is just that Akwa Ibom has a higher occurrence
and yes the pastors and the dumb parents are to blame.
