This is really sad. I could not read the article and I definitely did not watch the video. I just don't want be sad tonight but you are so right on with this article. The part that blows my mind is how a parent can even listen to the voice of a man and then mistreat their own child. I just cannot understand that.

I wept when i watched this video. Nigeria is so backward! This is the height of illiteracy and poverty and these pastors and taking advantage of that! I cannot believe that Helen Ukpabio, that confessed that she used to be a witch before, is heading these churches. How can you be brainwashed into killing and torturing your own child? It is a damn shame that this is happening in Nigeria! God pls save these children.
