Danish Aid worker, Anja Ringgren Loven rescued the little boy, Hope, who was left for dead after being branded a witch in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State. Today, she was presented with the Danish Medal of Honour in Denmark for her "brave, selfless and extraordinary effort to save the vulnerable children in Nigeria.


"Today I received the Danish medal of honor called "The Niels Ebbesen Medal" in the City Hall of Randers, Denmark," she posted on Facebook along with photos from the ceremony.

"The motivation for the medal: "Anja, you make a brave, selfless and extraordinary effort to save the vulnerable children in Nigeria. Few people know how dangerous a mission it is - but everyone is aware of what it means for the vulnerable children who without help will end up lonely on the streets."

"I will bring this medal of honor to Nigeria and give it to David. Without him I would not be where I am today. He is not only the father of my son. He is my biggest inspiration and my hero! He is the most amazing man and this medal is undisputed because of his extraordinary efforts."

Nigerian government didn't even notice whether something like that happened talkless of appreciation/honoring her

Nothing works in my country Nigeria

She did a good job. She gave hope a chance to live a healthy life, God bless her!

God will bless & reward her bountifully..

She saved a life of a Nigerian child in Nigeria and she is being honoured in her home country....

What honour did our useless bastard leaders give to her? Yet they give honorary awards to themselves and their group of looters everyday.

Hopelessly stweepid our leaders are

Kudos to her

Buhari is useless

God bless this lady

Nice gesture

How is this information useful to our present situation in this country? But come to think of it Nigeria mentality and this branding of witch to the innocent has to stop. Black man mentality

Nice one

becareful who you resue, Akwa Ibom whitches are not smilling on this.

OK

Akwa Ibom and witchcrafts are like Bread and beans.

No wonder Akpabo was able to easily wash and deceive them

The only thing Nigerians recognize is our corrupt politicians

.bt here in nigeria some pastors will be sharing cars to celebs on der birthday wer his church members are suffering n hosting crusades n missions in scotland n norway...same place wer d gospel came from..instead of goin to villages..n spend preaching time talking of politics n d imams will be busy luking for young girls to kidnap n marry...smh

whey the tatoos

I feel embarrassed being Nigerian whenever I read stories like these. I just cant imagine what the Danish would be thinking of Nigeria after reading this woman's story.

she deserves it. Bless her soul.

this can only have in a country where

Light is constant

transport is not a problem

housing is for everyone

where people have more Dan enough to eat and spare


if left alone, Nigerians leaders would not mind for have of the population to be killed so they have less people to worry about

how I wish I was born in dat country..... not dis yeye giant of Africa

kudos to the Danish people for this noble gesture of recognising their own since our leaders are to "busy" to

The nigeria government doesn't even give a shit.

rear kind of human she is

May God continue to strengthen n bless her.
