I don’t think I can bring myself to watch the video because I know how angry I would get. I’ve had my fair share of horrific things when I was a kid and to hear things like this gets me angry but also inspires me to maybe pitch a story to someone in hopes that we can make this known to all. We’re always protecting animals so fiercly, I hope that we can do the same for our children.

Ah it sucks to (not to pass judgement) that so many of these things are simply made aware with hardly any real work being attributed to solve the problem. Walmart probably has a bigger executive level supply chain staff than the number of people who actively seek to stop shit like that. It reminds me of the bit, “I always want to boycott but its just a lot of work.” Oh well, it seems like the next step is saturated awareness that forces actions. Thanks for the enlightenment.

Thanks for the link KevinJ, just donated! L25 to educate a child in need for a term sounds like the least I could do.

Gut wrenching and disturbing. A father driving a nail into the skull of his young daughter is beyond sick and what is being done to these kids is evil. Africa is synonymous with political instability, corruption and chaos. I understand there are cultural differences throughout the world and especially Africa. But anytime people go there to stop insane acts like this, they are called racists. I went on the web site and donated money, I encourage anyone who is able to do the same. http://www.steppingstonesnigeria.org

Joe, thanks for using your stature to bring this to our attention.

Let’s call it for what it is. These are people who already held the belief that witches are the cause of all misery on the earth. This religious cult seized upon it as a way to manipulate these people, but also these people were attracted to it because they share many of the same core beliefs.

But the big missing fact here is that this is SARAH PALIN’s religion that sends missionaries aboad to teach about witches and demons. They have bragged about praying for the death of Mother Teresa, of praying for the death of a “witch” in Alaska, “causing” her cancer, then driving her out of the state. Hello? She only pretends to be mainstream, in a culture that accepts all religious beliefs as good.

Wow. I’m not quite sure what to say about that video. It’s horrible & yet understandable in how these atrocities occur given that their sole source of information comes from an unintelligent (& seemingly currupt) religious sect. It really points out the need for education around the world.

For those of you who say that this isn’t America’s issue you may be missing the point a little. While I personally believe that we are part of a world collective, Nationalists have cause to care too. America is so tied to the rest of the world that we really can’t exist in a bubble. We are tied economically and environmentally to every other nation on the planet to some degree, including Nigeria. If we choose the isolationist path we’re going to shortly find ourselves in a decaying country club while the world burns around us. Soon after that, we too will likely perish. The only way to make our lives and the future lives of our family better is to work on making the whole world better (the sooner the better).

Thanks for posting that JR. It really has helped push me to try to do more to help where I can. As far as helping goes, I don’t want people to get phased by the enormity of the issues. It is a big deal, but we are a big bunch of people. You are not alone & because of this a bunch of people each doing a little really will add up. Just spreading a caring and concerned word is helping. So…everyone who was moved by this & isn’t sure how to help, do your part to get the word out (& I don’t mean in a cheesy b. Gates is gonna give you $ chain email ). Spreading a concerned word will hopefully catch the ear of someone in the position to effect these particular people with this particular problem.

Anyways, thanks again Joe!

It's about time someone saw sense on this subject. Also, a big shout to another comment poster BCook10, with an excellent assay of superstition and its completely mythical status. Please read some of my scribblings at my web site because I also feel that humans have become conditioned to be evil (anti-nature) to a massive extent. Also, they are completely blind to their bad natures, and what they believe is "moral" is quite often anti-pleasure crap. Keep up the great work here and keep on philosophising - that's what we're here for. BCook10 may consider Olaf Stapeldon on my books page for speculation on the species of man that succeeds us.

Ok, I watched the film and have some ideas:
If you haven’t watched the movie, here is some info…

For those of you with money to give, you can donate at: http://www.steppingstonesnigeria.org. This charity takes in children that are abused/abandoned and attempts to inform the public about these churches that are branding children as “witches” and advocating horrific child abuse all for economic gain and personal recognition.

For those of you with no money to give, sign their petition, donate an old phone or laptop, or ask what other ways you can help. Maybe have a fundraiser?

There are 2 facebooks for them…

Also, write to this lady: http://helen-ukpabio.com/ .

She is a preacher of sorts that has written a book and made movies about children being witches. In one of her books it states that if your child runs a fever and cries through the night they may be a witch. There has been a dramatic increase in these child abuse incidents since her movies/books have been released yet she takes no responsibility nor does she try to discourage the activity.
