Yet our mentality as black and hypocrite that we are will make us reason that anyone with tattoos all-over like this polish woman is a sinner nd a devil himself.



So who is now the devil.

■ The man allegedly took her in as ‘wife’. Or was she also ‘raped’ to have the two additional children at 22?
If it were reported to be a Northern man, the nature of comments here would have been different.
She had the first child for this 50-year-old man at 15 and the other at 16. She was not an adult at the time. That is rape not marriage. undecided

What if he is actually a wizard, does that give anyone right to subject him to inhumane condition based on his spirituality
That is another angle to this that should be considered. All cultures which allow humans to inflict such inhumane punishments on other humans should be done away with. undecided

Both of them are staying with the Danish lady. Read the op's post again
The mother is staying at the land of hope.
For how long? What stops that woman from taking that boy back to that father someday? I say both of them shouldn't even be in the same place until the mother shows she has finally resolved her own trauma and is able to fend for herself and her kids. undecided

It took a woman from Poland to show us how to cherish human lives. People watching the documentary in Poland will probably think we are still monkeys with tail dangling behind us seeing such barbaric behaviors from us.

■ Actually, it's pastors and the brand of Christianity practised here that should be blamed. A self-appointed man of god will just place his hand on the head of an innocent girl and declare her a witch! And the gullible mother will believe the fraudster and disown her own child. Na wa oh!

This is one thing Akwa Ibom state government needs to work on. They need to discourage this practice and punish offenders. They should not be lethargic like Dapo Abiodun.

See, this is the problem I have with the average Nigerian. What has this here to do with the issue at hand? Does AkwaIbom not currently have a governor who should be expected to do something about this issue or something? What has this to do with a man who has never been a governor in the state and is not currently in government today? undecided

Well, in defence of the black man, children gets abandoned by their mothers everywhere around the world for various reasons.

You just won't hear so much of it in the news when it happens is developed countries cuz there is a system that takes them in.

I remember seeing this on the news somewhere... This woman doesn't deserve to be reunited with this beautiful boy after everything she put him through... If it wasn't for that woman who rescued him, he'd have been dead by now and she wouldn't care.

When she ran away to Lagos, she could've taken him along.
If you were in her shoes, you would have done worse. May we not face challenges that will test our belief

Not at near the same rate you lot do in your Africa considering there are currently millions of homeless children in Nigeria today and adoption remains all but a taboo to this present day. undecided

A picture can say a thousand words, I can't see any emotional connection between the boy and his supposed mother, please don't send that boy to those wicked people before they tag him wizard this time.
Next thing his father will reappear and try to use his popularity to cash out and lie about how he was deceived by a fake Pastor which is rampant in Akwa Ibom and Cross River states to tag the innocent boy a witch
They should take him away please, or else if they encounter any problem they will blame him for it.

Taking to her Facebook page on Tuesday, September 5, 2023, Lovén revealed that Hope finally met his mother.

A little boy rescued by a Danish aid worker Anja Ringgren Lovén in 2016 after he was branded a witch by his family and left to starve to death in Akwa Ibom has reunited with his mother.

Loven was on January 30, 2016 photographed giving water to the severely emaciated 2-year-old boy before rescuing him.

The boy had wandered the streets for months when Anja got a phone call and immediately led a rescue team including her husband David Emmanuel Umem, to bring the child to the Children's Education and Development Foundation (ACAEDF) aka “Land of Hope”

According to the aid worker, Hope's mother, then a minor, was impregnated by his father, an almost 50 year old Village Head, who chose her as a 'wife'. She gave birth to Hope at the age of 15.

Lovén said the entire story involves rape, child labor and abuse, adding that she cannot reveal all the details.

She also didn't reveal circumstances that led to the boy being branded a witch and abandoned.

Till this day, innocent children are brandished as witches or wizard in Akwa Ibom. The boy should not be given to the mother, she should be penalized for her atrocities. She does not deserve to be called a mother. Fucking stupid bitch that opened her legs to be fvcked

She wasn't mature to be a mother at 15years.
Life happened to her. The person who should be held accountable is the man who got her pregnant and his co-conspirators who tagged the child as witch
