A cleric has given reasons why the Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) cannot go after Nigerian pastors who instigate the branding of children as witches.

Lol anyone that believes there child has magic powers and malicious intent is mentally challenged. I do wonder why the state doesn't enforce law against these idiots. I do remember reading accusing whichcraft someone of whichcraft being illegal anyway. 15 Likes 2 Shares |

Yeepa! They used coke and fanta to anoint people. I think the problem is beyond what CAN can handle alone. The traditional rulers should do more in that regard because this is more of cultural than religious issue. 4 Likes |

Many children in Nigeria, mostly in the South-South states of Akwa Ibom and Cross River, have been beaten, stigmatised, and sent away into the street where they live as an outcast on the accusation of witchcraft.Just imagine! May God save Africa!! Orisirisi something..... “If they carry those children and keep in the village with their grandparents, go back and hear what would have happened after that.”If not for what the Holy Book tells us about leaving these fake men of God for God to judge their matter separately on the last day and not say any negative things against them, we would have typed more. But we will continue to leave them to God to judge. What a C.A.N OF WORMS!! 3 Likes 3 Shares |

Since witchcraft exists in the bible according to archbishop cletus, and let's face it Christians in Africa live in constant fear of witches, "men of God" justify what they're doing concerning witchcraft as biblical. Without claiming to have the "power" to cast out demons, witches and evil spirits you are doomed as a "man of God" in this part of the world. There's a popular demand for witches and "men of god" are in business precisely for that reason. Take away fear from the minds of people and the church collapses. 8 Likes |

It's up to the government to act on this cruel Child Abuse going on.... Shame on this continent. Ignorance is truly darkness. many things we tag as withcraft due to ignorance have been unraveled to be genetic issues and psychiatric problems...talk of sickle cell, epilepsy, schizophrenia, split personality disorder etc.... Yet a useless man like BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO with his supposed enlightenment still slapped and tortured an innocent girl with evidences captured on video but he is still walking free without being persecuted, even boasting of it.......shameful 1 Like |

What hypocrisy; you can release divisive propaganda statements, along ethno-religious fault lines and organise protest marches e.g. against herdsmen/farmer clashes; yet you cannot do the same against fake pastors who tarnish your image as well as exploit your fellow Christians; and worse of all instigate the killing, stigmatisation and abuse of innocent children - haba! what a lame excuse. 2 Likes |

I remember while I was in Abuja in 2006, a pastor told my guardians that I was a witch who was diverting their blessings. They were going through a rough time financially so they invited this new pastor to pray for them. When he arrived,the wife introduced me as her nephew. As a kid, I was surprised at how he arrived at that conclusion because I'm sure I'm not a witch. I asked him if it's possible to be a witch and not know it. I guess his conscience was disturbing him because all he said was if I get to the village, I should tell my parents to take me to a pastor for deliverance. That was the day I was sent back to my village by my guardians. That experience has changed my mindset about pastors and their prophecies and anytime I remember it, I still feel sad. I learnt something though. Parents should give birth only to the number of children they can sufficiently cater for. I'm sure if they had said I was their son, the pastor wouldn't have labeled me a witch. And whenever things are not working well for you, be mindful of how you run to clerics. Talk to God yourself with all sincerity. He hears. 12 Likes 1 Share |
