[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.

I'm actually still trying to wrap my mind around the fact that a "mother" left her child this young to be roaming about the streets abandoned and homeless.

I wish I knew the mother...

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.

Kevin Carter, the white South African photojournalist who took this attached photo in famine-hit Sudan around 1993 committed suicide in 1994 after winning a Pulitzer prize for the touching pics. He said he felt bad that he couldn't help the child after taking the award winning shot. Of course he received backlash for not helping. Sad some still engage in that practice of snapping pics to post in blogs instead of helping even in accident scene with dead bodies littered all around. I was even scared of posting the first photo of Ms Anja giving Hope water because I don't engage in sensational reporting just for hits. But when I saw the uncommon transformation, I was moved with joy. Surprisingly I got to see the post first in a foreign website while our naija blogging giants slept away on the story.
