Welcome To Children Of Nigeria's Blog.
I am outraged by the way the children are treated. Labeled as witches by Evangelical pastors to extort money from their parents. Starved, tortured, abandoned and even killed because their parents are afraid. Something needs to be done about this. This needs to stop! PLEASE CONSIDER SIGNING THE PETITIONS FOR THE CHILDREN.
Thank you for visiting.
Religious leaders in Ikot Ekpene Local Government area of Akwa Ibom State have been admonished to ensure that the people of the area do not stigmatise or discriminate against aged parents or children on grounds of witchcraft as the state will not view the issue lightly.
The Governor of the state, Chief Godswill Akpabio, stated this at Ikot Ekpene at the just concluded orientation/seminar for church leaders and students.
Represented by the Commissioner for Commerce and Industries, Dr. Emem wills, Akpabio noted that, proliferation of churches and the witches/witchcraft pursuit syndrome is completely out of practice in today’s Christendom.
Speaking on the theme, "The Fear of God:, A Panacea For An Akwa Ibom Child and the Expectations of the 21st Century Church in the State, Wills noted with dismay how church leaders get themselves involved in deceit, spiritism, mysticism and other forms of sorcery to attract converts for financial gains.
Most of them he observed do not remember anymore to teach the young ones values, norms and etiquettes within the confines of their society.
He advised church leaders to retrace their steps and hold fast to their mandate of prayerfulness, reminding them that they are in the Lord's vineyard and that a great reward awaits those who will do their work diligently.

Children Learn What They Live (2005)
If a child lives with criticism, he learns to feel discouraged
If a child lives with hostility, he learns to feel angry
If a child lives with violence, he learns to feel afraid
If a child lives with dishonesty, he learns to feel suspicious
If a child lives with judgement, he learns to feel guilty
If a child lives with ridicule, he learns to feel ashamed
If a child lives with disorder, he learns to feel confused
If a child lives with disappointment, he learns to feel helpless
If a child lives with silence, he learns to feel lonely
BUT
If a child lives with protection, he learns to feel safe
If a child lives with honesty, he learns to feel trustful
If a child lives with peace, he learns to feel calm
If a child lives with sharing, he learns to feel thankful
If a child lives with understanding, he learns to feel encouraged
If a child lives with laughter, he learns to feel happy
If a child lives with creativity, he learns to feel inspired
If a child lives with choice, he learns to feel free
If a child lives with community, he learns to feel supported
If a child lives with accomplishment, he learns to feel confident
If a child lives with meaning, he learns to feel fulfilled
If a child lives with love, he learns to feel tender
