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.

Amnesty International Human Rights Action Centre
In May 2009 UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, Philip Alston, reported to the United Nations Human Rights Council that, “The persecution and killing of individuals accused of practising so-called “witchcraft” – the vast majority of whom are women and children – is a significant phenomenon in many parts of the world, although it has not featured prominently on the radar screen of human rights monitors.”
These human rights violations are of increasing concern to many Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) who have been advocating for the victims of witch-hunters. The Witchcraft and Human Rights Information Network (WHRIN) was established in 2009 by one such NGO – Stepping Stones Nigeria – to facilitate partnerships and collaboration between individuals and organisations who encounter the victims of witchcraft accusations and magical or religious practices.

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
