I was watching a video someone posted on facebook of two grown ploiticians arguing at a hearing concentrating on "Corruption". Everything was going fine until a man started shouting 'Thief'! "Thief"! at the woman who was being interogated. One thing led to another and alas, two men started fighting. I wonder how they felt after that adrenaline rush. I must admit they were quite strong and fit considering they were old men. Anyway as if that was not exhausting to watch I watched other related links, and behold I saw Nigerian witch children. The name alone was intresting and scary, because I have never known anybody who is a witch or practices witchcraft. Besides my family condemns and stays away from anything that is or might be "evil". My curiosity got the best of me and I started watching the videos.I was expecting to see children dissapearing and appearing or doing something out of the blue, or something we all dont normally see. Frankly the only familar thing i know about witchcraft and wizadry is from Harry Potter. *Ahhh*



I was expecting a scene while a large circle filled with people stood watching. Thats what usally happens in Africa when something happens. But instead I saw a bunch of kids and young adults,rather hungry looking, battered, bruised, abused, unhappy looking, weak, the list goes on and on. Their parents or relatives either left them to die or sent them out of the house because they were "witches". Oh and if you are wondering how theier parents came to the conclusion that they were witches or supernatural? Thier local pastors told them that. I guess they have gifts of knowing who is a witch and wether they should be killed or not.



I personally think this is a bizarre and insane action.This kids are beaten up,cursed and shooed away because they do not matter to the community.


Some parents put nails in their childrens head, and some poured hot water or acid on them.Some tied them up and left them to die.This kids have gone through unimaginable things that I have never thought off in my life.Meanwhile the pastor is moving around and preaching. Preaching about how God wants us all to love one another . Yeah right! This is a very unique type of love I tell you. Lets asume withcraft does "exist", should this kids really go through what they went through? Do they deserve it? Do they deserve being isolated from other kids, family and human being just because they are witches? No human being or living things should be handled the way this kids were. Even if they have done really mean or evil things to people, which there aren't any record of. And even if they did mean things what happened to spanking? Or other types of punishment. But I am guessing these "pastors" decide on who should be eliminated and who should not. I honestly think they should be treated equally. Same with mental disabled people. I dont want to sound horrible here but they are challenged. Does that mean they should be deserted and killed?



With all these it all comes down to beliefs. Some people are ignorant and they do not know any better so you wouldnt really blame them, others just believe in fetish things like witchcraft, and they imply them in their daily life expample, when someone dies it has to be somebody who killed them. Or just a normal head or stomach ache has be related to somebody who they had a feud with. I respect peoples opinions and i will never look down on what people worship, or believe in. But when what people believe in hurts others,that has to be questioned. And some of these people just tie such unimaginable things to religion.



Some pastors have been arrested due to this unethical stuff. But I really hope the government sets a Law that protects all kinds of child abuse and "witchcrafts". It is obvious nobody can change a persons opinion but atleast we can try to stop such events from happening. If people choose to believe in what they believe in such as witchcraft, they are free to so so, as long as they dont harm anybody while doing so.


*frustrated* i want to see more of this people go to jail! And Please, can the government or community atleast provide shelter, food, and blankets for this homeless children. This is infact one of the sadest things I have ever watched and seen in my life. This has nothing to do with any christian bliblical teachings!


P.S--> I do not have any problems with any religion or beliefs. But when your beliefs hurt other people You have crossed the line.


God Bless this kids souls and I hope this group of people or anybody who does this kind of horrible things have a change of heart.

And for the record this does not only happen in Nigeria. its a World Wide thing

Divine is Beyond Labels

Theres so much beauty in the universe. I honor the presence of God in everyone.   The diversity of this world doesn’t confuse me, it makes me fall deeper in love with God and with humanity. Our differences are not barriers. They are beautiful.   They are the artistry of a Divine Creator. The essence of God is not confined to one name, one tribe, one religion.   Race, nationality, belief systems—these are human constructs, not divine limitations. God is Spirit. Boundless. Pure.   Far beyond every box we try to fit the Divine into. We are born open, whole, deeply connected.   It’s fear, ego, and conditioning that teach us to separate and compare. To believe one soul is superior to another based on tribe or religion is not only untrue, it’s a distortion of truth.   A distortion of the Divine. If God wanted one tribe, one race, one religion…   Wouldn’t that have been easy? But diversity is the design.   Each of us, different yet divine.   Every b...

Versions

In a moment of profound self-reflection, honouring the different versions of myself that have shaped who I am today. Every choice I’ve made,  every decision that felt uncertain at the time, has contributed to the wisdom I carry now. I’ve journeyed through many phases of growth, each one adding depth and understanding to my identity.  In some ways, I’ve been many people in one lifetime and that’s something I'm proud of. Each version of me, whether it was a version of hope, doubt, strength, or transformation, has served a purpose. And now, looking back, I can see how each part of my story was necessary for the person I am becoming. I honour that and in doing so, I honor my capacity to evolve. It’s a reminder that I’m never stuck just always in the process of becoming, continuously shedding layers and uncovering new possibilities.  I stand as a testament to my own resilience and growth, fully embracing both my past and my future. While reflecting with gratitude ...

Aztec Calender Aka The Sun Stone

    I love all kinds of Aesthetics especially ancient arts. Sometimes i feel i should be in a destroyed city which existed thousands of years and has recently been found. Just digging up old beautiful crafted things..or mummies.lol Aesthetics can be percieved in different ways to people. What i feel is beautiful might not be to you or intresting. Two years ago i would never have thought i was into art especially the so not called "modern" arts. I appreciate anything that people take time to make, Put thought, meaning, and importance to create. Anyway I did a project on the Aztecs last semester and i was amazed. Because usually we only see "modern" paintings, carvings, figures, etc. And unfortunately some arts that are really facinating and intriguing are looked at as ugly or non modern. The aztecs are precolumbian mesoamerican people of central mexico. Some say they dont exist anymore while some say there are few of them left. Whichever is true only fact is there a...
