Janey Godley’s Blog

My dearest blogging mates, I don’t often write on my blog to appeal or ask for help as you all well know, but hear me out.

 

Whenever we think of Nigeria and charities, we always think ‘Scam Spam’ and switch our brains off.

 

I just watched a Dispatches documentary programme in the UK about children who are beaten to death or abandoned because some local nutter in the Nigerian Delta region decided for no good reason that the kid was a witch. Often the kids are killed, or the parents have to pay shed loads of cash to allow some local ‘Prophet’ (read con artist for prophet by the way) to cleanse the child.

 

The whole thing is absolute rubbish but the Nigerian Delta region is steeped in suspicious Christianity/ witchcraft practises for years now and the whole thing is exacerbated by propaganda films made by some crazy church leader who infects the brains of these poor people with arcane ideas of witches. They say kids as young as one year old can kill an adult with a spell! The sign of witchcraft in a child is crying at night and a high temperature, which covers just about every baby in the world to be honest!

Jesus would weep if he saw what these lying rats do in his so-called name.

 

Trust me you would only have watch five minutes of this British documentary and you want to get on a plane and rescue the kids yourself.

 

Gary Foxcroft is an ordinary bloke from England and he is the director of the charity, he was studying in Nigeria when he realised the problem and is dedicated to helping the children. The link below is the website, please click and help if you can?

Thanks to all my blogging friends for any help on this issue.

There is a wonderful organisation here in the UK called The Samaritans who are on call 24 hours a day; they listen to people who are on their hunkers and at their deepest darkest despair. Sometimes people just need to talk, it doesn’t have to be suicide it can be about bullying, worries about health, family…anything really. They listen. They have volunteers and do sterling work. I donated a signed copy of my book and a huge painting that was part of an award winning art exhibition, the painting is called ‘One Night in New York’ and the bidding is on EBAY and it’s only up there for ten days. Here is the link

EBAY Auction 

Please check it out and get bidding of you want a fabulous original artwork and give some well needed money to charity. It will be so worthwhile and you can stare at my painting that has some really funny swear words written boldly on it, something to annoy the in laws and local church group with!

Thanks guys!
