Little Boy Labelled A Witch 5 Years Ago, Becomes Best Man At A Wedding In Akwa Ibom (Photos)

Little boy, Hope, who was labelled a witch by his family and left to starve to death, was the best man at a wedding of one of the team members that rescued him five years ago in Eket, Akwa Ibom, IgbereTV reports.

Hope, then an emaciated 2-year-old, was rescued by Danish aid, Anja Ringgren Loven and her team on January 31, 2016, after he was found wandering the streets for eight months.

Ms Loven on Sunday, shared photos of a stylish and handsome Hope at the wedding of Land of Hope's Education Officer, which took place last weekend.

She wrote;

"In exactly 40 days today we are going to celebrate that Hope was rescued 5 years ago. To be exact, Hope was rescued on the 30 of January 2016.

I cannot wait 40 days to share these pictures of Hope. He is simply to cute and handsome

Last week Hope was best man at Don Udowan, our Education officer’s wedding and Hope just shined like a little star

Looking back, it’s hard to believe that 5 years have already passed. I remember the day we rescued Hope as if it was yesterday.

As most of you know I have the name HOPE tattooed on my fingers. A tattoo I got many years ago even long before I ever travelled to Nigeria. Because for more than a decade now it’s been my mission in life to: Help One Person Everyday: HOPE

Many of you have been following our work since we rescued Hope and witnessed his amazing transformation. He is a SURVIVOR and one day he will be old enough to travel the world and tell his story.

We owe everything to you, our followers, sponsors, supporters and members"

HOPE

If not for that oyibo lady Anja abi kilounje, they would have wasted a very handsome man and a fine destiny...

I believe sometimes, Nigerians brought upon itself the hardship they are facing right now..
We are extremely wicked believe me..

YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL, YOU GO GET ENEMIES
you buy car, wahala
You build house, gbege..
You get promoted, trouble..

Wo, ko sogbon to le da
Kosi iwa to le wu
Kosi ona to le gba,
To le fi te aye lorun...

A friend came back from akwa ibom couple of weeks ago...he said the only benefit of that state is free and easy kpekus!




Aside from unlimited free access to wide variety of Kpekus nothing else.

it beats my imagination how a parent will wilfully discard his/her child in the name of calling them a witch.

Even animals don't do that.

even if na witch, wetin em do you??

I would say it might be some religious or cultural believe, whichever it is, out humanity should at least tell us better..

Hope may you continue to grow well, just like joseph, your family will kneel before you one day

and least I forget, HML to the couple

We have continued to maintain that witchcraft is a ruse, fantasy, and nonexistent creation.
It only exists in the imagination of those who believe in it. Be liberated and defend the innocent!

Meanwhile to fake online winches and swines,
The anointing wey all of us @ carry,
No be una Papa mate!



Many of you have been following our work since we rescued Hope and witnessed his amazing transformation. He is a SURVIVOR and one day he will be old enough to travel the world and tell his story.
This is only the beginning of more success and exploits in Hope's life.
His future is damn bright and beautiful.
This can only be God.
