Nigerian child-witches

Sad. :( But I am glad to hear that a confessed Christian is helping them. This seems only right... it is their teachings that are being used here. Still, anyone can see this is not quite what they meant... :(
 
I say burn 'em all!!!*










Yep, light up every one of those idiots who calls witchcraft on a kid! Slow fire, rest of adults forced to watch. Learning experience - compliments of Terminal Education (TM).
 
It's surprising to me that an obvious scam like this could be allowed to continue so easily in Nigeria. I know quite well that Nigerians are very superstitious people, but I also know that their country is rampant with crooks, scammers, and corrupt leaders, and every Nigerian is also well aware of that fact. For that reason, many people there are cynical and distrusting of others. It is silly for them to think that the church is different than any other organization in their country.
 
This is why they need our help to make bona fide money transfers. The child-witches have buggered up the whole financial system over there.
 
Do the child witches employ spotted hyenas as familiars? I've heard that the witches of Tanzanyika did or do.
 
Was happening in the DRC a while back. Spread to nigeria is unfortunate but given the mess some areas of the country are in not that unexpected.
 
:mad: Sometimes the bad old days of empire dont seem all THAT bad.

General Sir Charles Napier responded to those who argued for their cultural customs:

"You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours."

You know when the last person to be convicted of witchcraft in the UK was found guilty and sentenced to prison? 1944! In today's world!

Granted, the woman in question was suspected of war-time treason as much as witchcraft because she had pretended to contact a warship but she was charged and punished only for witchcraft.

With the history Europe and the United States has- and some of it surprisingly recent- you can't blame ignorance on the culture.

Enspecially when some of it originates from beliefs taken from the Western world.

That claim is wrong in every single respect.

She was convicted under the Witchcraft Act of 1735 but not for witchcraft but for pretenting to be a witch (something that would later be covered by a fraudulent mediums act). She wasn't the last person convicted under the act. That was Jane Yorke and she was fined not imprisoned.
