 WHO TRULY IS THE WITCH?! AID WORKER RESCUES ABANDONED TODDLER ACCUSED OF WITCHCRAFT IN AKWA IBOM



 A one-year-old girl who was reportedly accused of witchcraft and left to die in a bush in Akwa Ibom State has been rescued by a Danish aid worker, Anja Ringgren Loven.


Loven, who is the founder of the charity organisation, Land of Hope, disclosed this in a post on her Facebook account on Thursday.


She wrote, "Yesterday, we received a call in a village to rescue a little girl in a very critical condition.


"Land of Hope Director of Child Development, Nsidibe Orok, went with our rescue team to the location.


"Orok was surprised when he saw the girl in a near death situation. She is said to be one year and a few months old. The girl was abandoned. 


"Children who are accused of being witches are usually abandoned to die in bushes. The girl is now at Land of Hope."


PUNCH reported in 2018 that Lovén came into national consciousness when she rescued a starving Nigerian toddler from  death after his family disowned him for being a witch.

THE MOST TOUCHING STORY ON THE INTERNET

  THE MOST TOUCHING STORY ON THE INTERNET  This is the most heart touching story that I have read in a long time. Jim preaches at a church in the slums of New York.  He tells the following story:   It was Easter Sunday, and I was so tired at the end of the day that I just went to the edge of the platform, pulled down my tie and sat down and draped my feet over the edge.    https://www.profitablegatecpm.com/an2mgwfy?key=d4d2c16ea95bb7636c1098e57b840698 It was a wonderful service with many people coming forward. The counselors were talking with these people. As I was sitting there, I looked up the middle aisle, and there in about the third row was a man who looked about fifty, disheveled, filthy. He looked up at me rather sheepishly, as if saying, “Could I talk to you?” We have homeless people coming in all the time, asking for money or whatever. So, as I sat there, I said to myself, though I am ashamed of it, “What a way to end a Sunday. I’ve had such a good time, preaching a

FACTS ABOUT THE 1500s WHEN PEOPLE PEED IN POTS AND SOLD IT TO SURVIVE  They used to use urine to tan animal skins, so families used to all pee in a pot & then once a day it was taken & sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were “piss poor.” But worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn’t even afford to buy a pot; they “didn’t have a pot to piss in” & were the lowest of the low. The next time you are washing your hands & complain because the water temperature isn’t just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s. Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June. Since they were starting to smell, however, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the pr
