We Africans are hypocrites!!! Many would have passed this boy by without looking back,now they are here on Nairaland pretending to be angels. . There is no love in this part of the world. In a country where thousand of churches are, none of these churches and their members could save this boy, until a foreigner shew up. It is a big shame to every Nigerian and the government.

His old pictures brought tears to my eyes, poor boy left to die by people who have been brainwashed and made unredeemably foolish by their nonsense priests or pastors who doesn't value life.

Huge thanks to the Spanish woman who saved him. May God's mercy forever be on your generation too.

It sickens me to the depth of my soul how some Nigerian parents takes their priests or pastors as God. Nonsense.

May God save every other children out there that are in the same predicament as hope.

She's an aid worker, its part of her job.

Don't blame Nigerians and Nigerian government for the act of evil parents. How can you brand your own child(baby) a witch with and leave him to die on the street? That evil and I won't blame it on anybody except the parent.

Oreofepeters:
I used to have this feeling, the only people God used his hand to create are whites.
They possessed more than 80% of God's personality.
They view life the way God view it as precious. And above all, one of the outstanding personality of God "LOVE" they have it.
Imagine a white woman all the way from her country to save a soul

Blacks don't have 30% of that quality, every evil things live within blacks despite being overly religious.
I'm sure this pikin parents and their neighbors no dey miss Sunday service and yet none of them could see it boldly written in the Bible that "you should view every soul as precious"

I'm so disappointed I belong to black race

By now the government is supposed to have rolled out mass sensitization programmes in the rural areas to stop the scourge, if they were not a bunch of idiots.

Do you know how many documentaries have been filmed about this issue across the world?

Are they not ashamed of themselves

Bigflamie:
See most of them here commenting as if they are different, leave them alone with the kid they'd still do more than the people that branded him witch, hypocrites.

The people that are hailing this woman for her kind gesture are the same people that believe in their juju, god and all sorts of imaginary creatures. Hypocrisy at its height.

That's how Nigerians rescued useless Osibanjo and buhari and today they both look like human being

Danish aid worker, Anja Ringgren Lovén marks 4 years since the rescue of child branded a witch in Akwa Ibom

Four years ago, January 30, 2016, Danish aid worker Anja Ringgren Lovén was photographed giving water to a severely emaciated 2-year-old boy, who she rescued after he was branded a witch by his family and left to starve to death in Akwa Ibom.

The child 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" named after the boy.

Danish aid worker, Anja Ringgren Lov?n marks 4 years since the rescue of child branded a witch in Akwa Ibom.

On Thursday, January 30, 2020, Anja posted new photos of Hope to mark the anniversary.

She described Hope as a "very strong, intelligent, funny and beautiful young boy who despite all odds, survived" and despite his young age, knows that hate is to great a burden to bear.

I know the government can always do better but parents should also learn to give their kids total love and attention irrespective of what they are made to believe.

Isn't our God wonderful? See Transformation.

The same people that accused her of being a witch... Only if they could see her now...

But honestly speaking, even as she is fresh now who else thought it was a boy in the latest pictures?

BlackfireX:
It shall not be well with all those incipid imbeciles who branded and abandoned this child as a witch.

mu2sa2:
The shame of a particular religion.

chocolatelady:
Tears fell from my eyes as I watch the transformation of this little boy. May the Good Lord bless this Danish woman and her generation, amen. I cannot imagine how archaic and backward some people can be. Branding a 2 year old boy a witch and left to starve and die. This is unbelievable! Now that the boy is alive probably the woman may decide to take him abroad for schooling. His parents will start looking for him immediately they know that the boy is outside the country’s. Yeye people!
