Thousands of stigmatized ‘Witch Children’ have found refuge at CRARN center, in Akwa Ibom.
The children were branded as “witches” by church ministers and have been cast out by their families and shunned by society.
One of them is six-year-old Israel Effiong, from Ikot Uso Ekong, Eket, who was accused of being responsible for his father’s illness. Fearing for his life, he ran away and hid in a bush for a year before he was rescued by Edoho,a volunteer with the organisation.
Edoho, himself is former child at CRARN Children Center. He now serves as one of the volunteers who rescue children to the centre.
“When my father became ill and taken to a hospital, my stepmom asked if I knew anything about his illness. I told her that I could not think of anything bad about my father because he’s the supporting me,” Effiong recounts.
“When his illness took a turn for the worst, my stepmom became angry with me.
In the nights, she’ll wake me up, tie my hands and legs then poured wild ants all over my body while asking me to relieve my dad from the witches coven. At times she would tie my hand and legs, began to hit my heads with sticks and electrical wires.
She stopped giving me food and locked me out of the house. I went and told the neighbors living close to us. She said she could not allow me to stay with her because my stepmother will be angry with her.
“The people living around us began to hate me and asked not to come close to their children. I went and slept in the village town hall. One night, some men came and saw me there, they brought me out and asked me to dance as witches. When I told them that I didn’t know witches dance, they used sticks and matches to beat me. A man who was passing by came and told them not kill me. They left me and warned me not come there again. I went and stayed in a bush and be coming out in the night to pick up leftover from the market garbage
“One day, I was tired and slept off in the market, a boy by name Edoho came and saw me there and told me he would come back and take me to a safe place where other children like me are living. I told him where I normally stay in the bush.
Yesterday, he came and took me the CRARN Children Center, Eket. I’m very glad to stay here because I would go to school again and sleep without fear of the unknown.”
20-year-old woman, Kourtney Leigh allowed herself to be talked into getting a tattoo of her boyfriend’s name on her forehead.
Explaining why she had gotten the tattoos, Kourtney said ‘I do it because he’s paranoid and wants to have me branded.’
Her forehead is apparently not the only part of her body he’s branded, she also has his name stamped on her breast.
She has his name tattooed on her breast as well.
Her boyfriend Ryan Wibberley, a 23-year-old tattoo artist who goes by the name Wibbo, claims he has persuaded 39 ex-girlfriends to get his name tattooed on them.
He claims he has 50 tatoos on his body and tatooed Koutney’s name on his hand.
Most didn’t go for the face, but apparently legs, arms, fingers and backsides instead.
‘I just get p*ssed up and I get my tattoo gun out. It’s a laugh,’ he told the Sun. ‘It’s not taking advantage because they want it done.’
‘I’ve got Kourtney’s name on my hand, but she’s the only ex whose name I’ve got done.
A Polish woman who was disfigured by a huge facial tumour has revealed how her face looks now at a press conference.
The woman, identified only as Joanna, underwent Poland’s second ever facial transplant after neurofibromatosis – a genetic condition causing benign tumours – left her unable to chew, talk or swallow.
The press conference is coming almost three years after she had her transplant – and she looked remarkably well with only little scarring to her forehead and neck.
Dr Adam Maciejewski, who performed both Joanna’s surgery as well as the only other facial transplant in Poland, spent 23-hours on the complex transplant.
It involved a transplant of 80 per cent of the skin on her face, giving her the ability to chew, talk or swallow.
Joanna was severely deformed by neurofibromatosis – a genetic condition that causes benign tumours to grow along the nerves.
The condition can also cause bone problems, pressure on the spinal nerves, severe pain, learning disabilities and vision and hearing problems. There is no cure for it, MailOnline reports.

A couple’s marriage collapsed when the wife was allegedly involved in an adulterous affair with her husband’s best friend.
Justice Gorwa says he discovered his wife Chantelle Chifamba’s illicit affair with his friend Talent Guhwa when she fell sick after allegedly aborting the Talent’s pregnancy.
Speaking to H-Metro, Justice said the adulterous affair between Chantelle and Talent was the greatest betrayal he has gone through in his life.
“There is nothing as heart-rending as being hurt by people you trust.
“I never thought that my best friend and wife would be so heartless that they woul have a sexual relationship.
“People in our neighbourhood used to tell me that something fishy was going on between my wife and Talent but I never took it serious because I thought they didn’t understand how we relate as families.
“I only got to know about it when Chantell aborted the pregnancy and Talent started demanding the child from her,” said Justice.
Narrating how his wife cheated on him, Justice said Chantelle and Talent allegedly shared the forbidden fruit when he was at work.
“I have always been a good husband and father; I would go out of my way to suppor my wife as well as our child but for some reason I wasn’t good enough for Chantell
“I used to send her money during the time that she was sleeping with Talent since I was out of town with work.
“When I came back, Talent started demanding the baby from Chantelle that she had aborted and that was how I got t know about it.
“The issue of her abortion has become the talk in our neighbourhood and the woman who helped her to abort is also from our neighbourhood.
“The foetus is said to have been dumped close to some banana trees in our neighbourhood,” he said.
Meanwhile, Chantelle has since applied for a protection order against Justice at the Harare civil court. She claims that Justice started to be violent towards her accusing her of cheating on him.
“He is the one who has been cheating, I discovered it through text messages he has been sending to his girlfriend.
“I left his house naked because he said I came with nothing and I was supposed to go back without anything.
“He has been coming to my mother’s place hurling stones and urinating in the garden” she claimed.
Talent’s wife, only identified as Amai Wayne, confirmed her husband’s affair with Chantelle. She also said the affair was now straining her marriage.
“My husband and I have never been in good books ever since the time he had an adulterous affair with Chantelle.
“He has been accusing me of being the reason Chantelle aborted the pregnancy but I wasn’t involved in all of that,” she said.
Not a single girl out of the 21 released Chibok schoolgirls was sexually assaulted during the two years spent in Boko Haram captivity.
Quoting a source close to negotiations to free the remaining of those abducted in April 2014, NAN dismissed reports that the only girl who came back with a child was impregnated by an insurgent.
The agency said the girl was pregnant before her abduction.
“The girl and her parents have confirmed this. The child is not a Boko Haram Child,” the source reportedly said.
“None of the girls released was sexually harassed or abused while in captivity by their abductors.
“The current state of the girls is a source of joy as they are receiving the best medical, psychological and other forms of support from the authorities as directed by the federal government.
“All groups including the families, The Bring Back Our Girls (BBOG) and Chibok Community are happy with their condition as medical experts work to address their health conditions.
“The girls have been visited by members of International Committee of the Red Cross, which played a great role in getting the girls freed.
“It is obvious to everyone that having been in captivity, the girls were traumatised but since their release, they are showing signs of recovery.”
Speculative reports about the state of the freed captives, are said to be creating stumbling blocks to further talks with the insurgents.
The insurgents were said to be angry with government for breaching some understanding reached with them when the 21 girls were being handed over on October 13.

Four little girls have reportedly being salvaged in Abak, Akwa Ibom State after their parents allegedly abandoned them for being ‘witches’.
The story which was shared by Child’s Right And Rehabilitation Network (CRARN), reads:
Four female children were yesterday rescued by a good samaritan around 1:00 AM in the night. The children whose origins are yet to be identified said they were told in a prayer house that they were witches, an allegation which compelled their parent to abandoned in another prayers house which they went for deliverance, for years without bringing them food to them.
Their parent later came to the church at the instance of the pastor, pick them and put in a waiting car which drove them to the Abak bridge and dropped them there. The children were malnourished and seen with wounds, bruises, and scars in different parts of their body indicative of variant degrees of torture, which of course are not uncommon with children who suffer similar faith consequent upon witchcraft stigmatization.
“My father said he’s afraid of God, he would have killed us as instructed by the prophets.” one of the children said.
Four Children Rescue In The Night At Abak, Akwa Ibom State
A right activist said after the rescue: “Children have continued to be abandoned in Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria over witchcraft allegation by parents after desperate and nouveau riche pastors and prophets label witches/wizards and made their parents force them on the streets if not killed. These children were lucky to be rescued yesterday in the wee hours of the night at Abak new bridge otherwise, they would have been picked by the lurking human traffickers or ritual killers who maraud the streets in search of children for diabolic purposes.
“Different states in Nigeria, mostly Akwa Ibom, Cross River and River States, remain the hotbed for children abandonment due to witchcraft accusations. Lagos and Ekiti have also been reported to be in the high rank of witchcraft allegation on children and elderly people in recent times which lead to their death and forceful incapacitation.
Cool FM presenter, OAP Freeze shared the story of what he had to do during his first 6 months of working in a radio station back in the 1990s.
He shared the message after a Twitter user who wanted to do an internship with him, asked how retweets he should get for him. Read below:
I gave him an impossible task, but I love his spirit so please encourage him by helping him retweet so he can make the 10,000 retweets.
He has to earn it, most people don’t understand what it takes to be a broadcaster, I have heard “is it not to talk on the radio?” It takes a whole lot more. For my first 6 months on air, all I did was “o’clock” six hours a day, five days a week on an AM station.
When it’s 6pm for instance, the main presenter would say ‘it’s 6’ and I would say “o’clock” that was all I was required to say for an hour, then again at 7pm he would say, it’s 7 and I will say “o’clock”, repeating this every hour, never saying a single word more till my shift for the day ended.
Was I sitting idle for the remaining 59 minutes 56 seconds? Of course not!!! I was buying zobo and buns, photocopying stuff and going to and from the news room running office errands, awaiting my next stint on the radio, where my services were needed to say “o’clock”.
This was all I did for 6 months, in the 1990s before I was considered fit for the radio. Since we are in the social media era, let him say his “o’clock” via Twitter and earn his internship. ?
The top comedian, who is set to have his annual concert few weeks from now, shared the photo of his wife above and wrote:
The woman right here, runs the kitchen, the living room, the other room, the boardroom, prayer room, labor room, laundry room, upper room, room okuta… and still has room for improvement!!! Now she is running the airwaves!
Guess she’s a prisoner to her addiction and she just couldn’t wait to get back to her normal self! – the first thing that came to the mind of this lady in the photo above after she gave birth, was to gulp a bottle of wine!
Though if we carefully look at the photo, it doesn’t look like the lid of the wine is opened and she just might be posing but still… you can tell she can’t wait to have a glass!
The second daughter of President Muhammadu Buhari, Hajiya Fatima, will be getting married to former managing director of the Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria, Malam Gimba Yau Kumo today Friday, October 28.
Their Islamic wedding will take place in Katsina state, her father’s home state. Fatima is one of the president’s children from his first wife, Safinatu Muhammadu Buhari.
But what many are not aware is that Fatima will become the 4th wife to the 57-year-old. Under the Islamic tradition a man is allowed to marry up to four wives, but that doesn’t seem to concern onr of the senior wives, Gimba Aishatu.
Gimba doesn’t look thrilled with welcoming another wife into the family who happens to be the daughter of the president.
The light skinned lady took to her Instagram page to post series of pictures showing off herself with her husband and more comparing herself and Buhari’s daughter in what looks like a ‘shade’.
The 32 year old reality TV star and businesswoman has admitted that she happily alters her photos if it means she can get rid of some of those pesky little imperfections.
She revealed to People in a new interview that she loves photoshopping apps for her pictures:
‘Of course I believe in airbrushing apps, Who doesn’t love a good filter? ‘I just think airbrushing apps, like who doesn’t want to airbrush a thing here or there, I love FaceTune, that one’s great. I don’t really know of many more, but a filter, that’s like airbrushing. Who doesn’t love a good filter? Sometimes you’re having a bad day.’
Khloe also admitted she likes filters to add a different hue to her images.
‘I don’t want to see everybody in color. I need a black and white filter sometimes.’
Sometimes, romance goes sour, and the devil takes control.

International Business Times just did a feature on Bobrisky, following the decision of some people to pull out of an event where he was meant to speaks.
The post reads in part:
“A media adviser to Nigeria’s Pres. Buhari has come under fire for allegedly pulling out from a conference due its inclusion of Idris Okuneye, also known as “Africa’s first male Barbie”. .
Ahmed’s withdrawal has stirred criticism, amid people claiming it was a reflection of Nigeria’ stance on homosexuality, which is illegal in the African nation. Subomi Plumptre, a member of the Alder Consulting comapany, also withdrew from the conference.
The company later released a statement claiming Okuneye’s presence at the event would “sensationalise and radicalise” the event, which should “otherwise be a serious discourse on new approaches to media engagement.”
Okuneye is a Nigerian citizen renowned for his widespread use of social media app SnapChat, where he posts content under the name Bobrisky. He is know to many as “Africa’s first fale Barbie” due to his flamboyant appearance and use of make-up.
He defines himself as “a cross dresser. It is believed Bobrisky, who calls himself ‘Snapchat King’, lives in Lekki, Lagos state. He once claimed his partner, to whom he refers as “bae”, gave him 7 million naira (£18,264; $22,239) to celebrate his birthday in August.
In an interview, Bobrisky reiterated he is not gay, but refused to further comment on his sexual orientation. Earlier this year, he came under fire for puclicly supporting Nigerian anti-gay laws. He later apologised to Nigerian LGBT activist Bisi Alimi over his comments.”
A photo of former BBA star and Nollywood actress, Beverly Osu at Tracy and Treasure Daniels birthday party has set some of her fans against her as their worry over her health turned to series of attacks, with some comments stating that she has started transforming into a man due to her new slim look, while others begged her not to stay close to healthy people since she looked sick.
A very wicked mother chained her young daughter (Not up to 9 year old) to a street lamp post as punishment for not attending classes in school.
The photo shows the tearful eight-year-old child with a metal chain hooked around her ankle and tied to a large metal post. The youngster covered her mouth and looked on with a sad expression after being left there by her raging mother.
Horrified onlookers heard the girl crying in the car park outside the family’s apartment on Wednesday afternoon. They tried to free her but the thick chain had been secured with two padlocks – leaving the youngster stuck for over an hour before police arrived.
She told cops that her 30-year-old mum had punished her because she failed to attend mandarin classes at school in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The girl had been locked up for around an hour before neighbours called police, who arrived around ten minutes later and tracked down the mum. The unemployed woman was taken in for questioning and later released.

The hustle in Lagos is no doubt as hard as a rock, the struggle is our life ad we’d do almost anything to survive… Lagos residents will now be paid for killing rats, according to a new programme inaugurated by the state government.
The Commissioner for The Environment, Dr Babatunde Adejare, during the official flag-off of the Lagos State Market Deratisation Programme, aimed at ridding the state of the Lassa Fever vector at Obalende market on Thursday, said the government will not relent in its efforts to make the state the safest place to live in.

Under the programme, the residents are encouraged to kill rats in their environs which the programme implementers, Phosguard will buy at a yet-to-be determined price for proper disposal.
The commissioner said the government was resolved to make Lagos State one of the safest places in spite of its increasing population.
It’s rare to see men who choose to be celibate before their marriage – which is why I think this lady’s guy is more of a keeper that she should try and save.
The lady says she’s as horny as a wild one but her groom-to-be says they should abstain till their marriage night which is probably less than eight months from now…
Now she doesn’t know how to tell him and she seeks advice… She wrote to Joro:
In light of the controversies and scandals trailing her, ex-beauty queen, Chidinma Okeke, whose lesbian sex tape has gone viral and even caused her dethronement has been granted asylum in an undisclosed country.
According to Victor Ibeh who shared the report, the video was made before she became a beauty queen, and she had already spent about 1.8 million Naira just so the video won’t be released by her blackmailers.
The videos are reportedly more than ten and the blackmailers were bent on milking her dry. Chidinma Okeke is also not the only one they have been blackmailing with the video, there are other girls, according to reports.
Some troops of the Operation DELTA SAFE in Southern Cross River State discovered four militant shrines with 23 human skulls in various stages of decomposition, one complete human skeleton, and several other human body parts.
According to an official statement issued on Thursday and signed by Kevin Aligbe, the group’s Acting Commander, the shrines were destroyed as troops continue the search for the perpetrators of these heinous acts.
In a related development, the statement said other troops of the command in Bayelsa State arrested 44 members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) at Lakeview Club on Mabinton Estate.
It said the group was planning to establish the Bayelsa State Chapter of the group and disrupt public peace within the Joint Operations Area of Operation DELTA SAFE.
“They were duly arrested and have been handed over to relevant authorities for further investigations. The unity of Nigeria is non–negotiable and sacrosanct. Hence any unlawful gathering that will cause mayhem, threaten the unity and sovereignty of the country will not be condoned.”
Brig. General Aligbe said the raid in which the human skulls and remains were found covered Ikot Ene Idem, Abakpa and Ikang Inam in Bakassi and Akpabuyo Local Government Areas of Cross River State, following a tip-off.
“With the clearance of these shrines, the Bakassi Strike Force have effectively been smoked out from the area they used to hold sway. It should be noted that the senseless killing of humans for ritual purposes is sacrilegious and will not be tolerated in any form.”
A medical practitioner, Dr Godwin Uwaoma, stated on Monday that girls in Aba, Abia State, engage in active sexual activities from the tender age of 10, raising higher chances of contracting HIV.
Uwaoma, the Chairman of the Thematic Working Group at the Nigerian Faith Based Advisory Council for AIDS (NFACA), told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Aba that a 2014 research revealed the development.
He said that the study was conducted to find out the awareness of preventive measures among youths in the secondary schools for the Department of Public Health at the Imo State University.
“We discovered that some girls in Aba start sexual activities at the age 10 to 12 and that at the age of 12, girls in Aba have “regular boyfriends” with whom they agree to have sex regularly.
This was not known before. Usually HIV prevention was targeted at age 15 upward but we now know that before 15 they have become sexually active. And there is a lot of difference between when you are forced into it and you remove yourself thereafter and when at this age you now have a regular partner.”
Popular Nollywood actress, Toyin Aimakhu, has sent the social media buzzing with criticisms and mixed reactions after a video of her kissing a white pet dog emerged on social media.
The Lagos-based Yoruba actress who is always in the news for her many controversies, was blasted by Nigerians on a popular online platform after the video clip was posted by Glo ambassador and comic actress, Eniola Badmus.
If there is one comedian that knows how to keep his lifestyle private then that should be Klint Da Drunk, and despite the buzzing comedy industry, he has been able to still remain relevant in his craft without noise.
The comedian is currently on his way to Cameroon and he was accompanied by his wife to the airport and who says comedians are not romantic because he just proved that on the road.
He had to share a passionate kiss with his wife inside the car but stressed that with all these romance in the air, who has romance really helped.
In his words, “They said it’s more romantic to close your eyes while kissing! Romance gwakwa ọkụ! Who romance epp?”
If it makes you feel any better, I’m guilty of not knowing these interesting life hacks that has been right in front of our eyes this whole time! Who would have known that the hole at the bottom of a mere padlock has a purpose?!
It’s about that time you realized and acknowledged that some little things do count! Lets take a look at 16 features on our everyday tools that you didn’t know had a purpose!
1. Majority of us are known to be pen cover eaters – it’s like an unusual plastic candy we find in our mouths some times… but of course, one can’t unsee the hole at the apex of the cover which contrary to popular belief, is not actually there to keep the pen from drying out – the hole is so there’s lower risk of suffocation if a small child (nervous adult) ended up choking on the cap.
2. Ever wonder why all of your pots have holes at the end of the handle? Not only to hang them, but to hold that messy spoon while you’re cooking up a storm.
3. Those little discs under the lids of plastic bottles are actually there to keep everything in the bottle. The disc maintains the liquid and carbonation, without it, soda would go flat quickly.
4. You may or may not have noticed that some lids have little spikes in them. This is so you can get through those tiny protective foils easier, just unscrew the lid, flip it, and push on through!
5. Why are those little bumps protruding out of only the ‘F’ and ‘J’ keys on a keyboard? In 10-finger typing, these bumps indicate where your index fingers rest and help you find your way back to the home position without having to glance down from the screen.
6. Curious as to the purpose of those little wings on an Apple power cable? They flip up so you can wrap the thinner part of the cable around the wings and secure it from unraveling. A-ha!
7. For those of us who don’t eat them like chips, the indentation on the flip lid of Tic Tacs is actually there as a dispenser so you can eat one at a time.
8. That hole in the bottom of padlocks serves a purpose you may not have known about. The hole allows water to drain out of the lack when being used outdoors and also can be used to oil the lock for better performance.
9. That little arrow beside the gas gauge on your dashboard is there to tell you which side of the car the fuel tank cap is on.
10. The hole in pasta spoons is not only there to strain the noodles and let water drain out, it’s also used to indicate the size of one person’s portion of spaghetti. Just cram in as many noodles as you can fit into the hole before cooking and you’ll have the perfect portion size for one!
11. The serrated edge on tape measurers is there so you can mark where your measurement is. It may seem obvious now, but a lot of people don’t realize this feature.
12. If you’ve ever gotten a little extra piece of fabric on a new piece of clothing, this can help you from potentially ruining it. The manufacturer includes this sample of the material so you can test how various laundry detergents react to it.
13. The tab that opens a can of soda also doubles as a straw holder so it doesn’t swivel around when you’re trying to make it meet your mouth.
14. The tiny hole on airplane windows is there to allow air to low into the plane and regulate pressure in the aircraft.
15. The punt underneath wine bottles are there as a historical remnant from the era when wine bottles were free blown using a blowpipe and pontil.
16. Those holes in the sides of converse aren’t there for decoration, they are there for ventilation. Many also believe that because the shoes were originally designed for basketball, the holes were used by looping the laces through them for a snugger fit.
The man shared his story showing just how he has been caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.
Below is what he wrote:
I am 32 years old and my girlfriend is 31 years old. We’ve been together for 5 years and now live together in a nice house.
Sometime ago, I had serious medical problems and she gave me one of her kidneys to save my life.
However, things have been slowly fizzling out and I’ve been feeling like we don’t belong together for a few months now. I feel like if I don’t make a decision soon we will be married and I will feel this way forever.
But on the other hand, getting a kidney transplant has changed my life for the better in so many ways. I feel like staying together is the right thing to do even if I’m not in love anymore.
I’ll never be able to pay her back. I’m so torn and conflicted and feel like I have to make an impossible choice.
If I stay with her, I’ll always feel trapped and in a loveless relationship. If I break up with her, I’ll forever feel like an evil person for dumping someone who literally put their life on the line for me.
Aggrieved Non-Academic Staff Unions at the Lagos State Polytechnic at Ikorodu have entered an agreement to suspend their ongoing strike.
The decision to suspend the strike followed an agreement the striking unions reached with the management of the polytechnic and the Lagos State Government.
The Chairman of the LASPOTECH Chapter of the Senior Staff Association of Nigeria Polytechnics, Mr. Awoyemi Abiodun, confirmed the development on Thursday.
Members of the Non-academic Staff Union and SSANIP had on October 20 and 21 respectively embarked on peaceful protest, declaring an indefinite strike to press some demands.
The unions were demanding that the management of the polytechnic must pay arrears of the Consolidated Tertiary Institution Salary Structure (CONTISS 15) migration to lower cadre staff from 2009.
However, Abiodun said that the unions, the polytechnic’s management and representatives of the State Government had met at Alausa on October 25 to resolve the issues.
He said that an agreement was reached at the meeting that the payment of the increment would commence this month.
Abiodun said that another meeting will be scheduled after the strike is suspended to negotiate how the arrears will be paid.
He said the union was however, awaiting a document from the government to back the agreement before suspending the strike.
He said, “It will be unreasonable and illogical for the union to suspend the strike without any legal document to back the agreement reached between the parties.
“Hopefully, by the end of the day, the document should be ready and would reach us, then we can now resolve on how to end the strike.”
