The problem of child abuse is a very serious one in Nigeria. According to recent statistics, over 30 million Nigerian kids are at risk of one form of abuse or the other. For example, 10.5 million kids are out of school, 2.1 million are currently displaced by terrorists and are scattered across various Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps throughout the northern region, 11 million more are child destitute popularly called Almajiris...and all these hasn't taken to account the number of child brides, child labourers, street kids, child artisans, and now child "witches"... The book ‘Agony of the Condemned’, for which we at Doppler Films/Publishers seek to raise funds to publish, is based on real events as narrated by a Nigerian youth corper, and it is intended to put the story of kids accused of witchcraft in spotlight. It x-rays the issue of the extreme abuse of people, especially youngsters between the ages of 1 to 16 who are accused of witchcraft in some Southern Nigerian States... And these kids' stories are represented by that of late Nwaeka, a 16-year-old who became mentally retarded before she died. The day our film crew met her, we saw her sitting on the bare mud floor, her eyes rolling, she was scratching at her stick-thin arms. The other children at the CRARN orphanage where kids like her are catered for till today in Eket, Akwa Ibom State Nigeria, were surprisingly patient with her. The wound on her head where a three inches nail had been driven appeared to be healing well when we saw her. Her family pastor had denounced her, and her family tortured her in a bid to make her confess, she died later. Since 1999, because of the growth of a violent kind Pentecostalism, some churches believe naming kids witches would somehow validate their claim to spirituality, and so, over 15,000 children have since then been denounced by "faith healers" and many displaced, abandoned, tortured and or even killed. The belief in the concept of witchcraft is not new in this part of the world. It is defined as the practice of magic, i.e. black magic, which is the use of spells and the invocation of spirits to cause harm and misfortune. This definition is as broad as it is largely and grossly misunderstood by many Africans. As a matter of fact, the concept has taken on a new life recently, partly because of this rapid growth in evangelical Christianity, a thing that unscrupulous people in the guise of "men and women of God" has exploited, charging huge fees for exorcism or ‘deliverance’ from susceptible parents and guardians. The Child Rights and Rehabilitation Network (CRARN) is a child rights advocacy NGO with a home in Eket, where it caters for abandoned and stigmatized kids, and Doppler Films/Publishers partners with them with the aim of helping the kids. Having written a number of articles bothering on the subject of child abuse, especially as regards witchcraft accusations, we were invited to partner CRARN by Mr Sam Itauma, the amiable founder of the NGO, a few years ago. Since then, we have been working to draw attention, through articles, films, and a book, to thier plight. Although Nigeria already has a very poor record as regards the issue of child welfare, since joining CRARN, we at Doppler Films have documented extreme cases of child abuse, and discovered also that the menace is seriously under reported by mainstream media. This fundraiser is aimed at everyone of good conscience, to assist in the quest to give the story of these endangered, yet remarkable kids, a permanent face and a voice through generous donation towards the publication of the book and the making of the sequel to our first documentary on the same subject...
