“Child Witches” In Southern Nigeria

Posted April 25, 2008 · Charles O

Marx’s famous declaration, Die Religion … ist das Opium des Volkes, in light of the bizarre account that follows, appears to have been an underestimation… Superstition, in this case reinforced by organized religion-gone-perverse, is worse than a mere opiate…

In the Niger Delta, children as young as eight have had nails driven into their heads after being identified as witches. Others have been buried alive, mutilated or left to die by their families, who think the children are possessed.

I posted an entry on this matter in December of last year.
