Helen Ukpabio will be preaching in Houston in March. She's known for human rights violations in Nigeria. Below is a link to a petition to try to keep her out of the country. I realize that the petition will probably not be effective in keeping her out of the country but It may shame Nigerians into abandoning the horrible abuse and torture of those accused of witchcraft (most of whom are young children).

There is a center in Nigeria for children who have been abandoned and abused due to witchcraft. This woman has tried to shut it down. She has also sent some of her thugs into the center's compound to capture the caretaker. Her thugs also violently broke up a symposium about witchcraft abuse. Now she's coming to Houston.

BTW I heard she was run out of town on a rail (so to speak) when she tried to preach in the U.K. does anyone know about this?

Rawr, that bitch makes me want to cunt punt her. Nigeria is terrible in this regard. Kids are fucking tortured to death for being minions of Satan there far more often than this modern world should allow. She should be arrested for human rights violations upon entry into the United States. I'm sure she is violating international law in some way. I wouldn't be surprised if a warrant is issued.

Houston eh? Looks like her bookers found a sympathetic audience. If I was a witch-hunter I'd go to Texas as well.

Its unbelievable how uneducated and predjudiced people still are. How are people still burning witches!? this shouldn't be allowed to happen much less be endorsed by the United States. Sent to petition out to everyone I know

I wouldn't say it is "endorsed" by the United States. One particularly ignorant area allowing her to preach barely implies endorsement by the country as a whole. At any rate, I wouldn't be surprised if they find some way to keep her out or arrest her when she gets here. People like her are stupid to leave their areas. Once you get into an area where international warrants are valid, you are fair game.

Apparently she has already been to Houston...

And here is some more of her hyper stupidity.

Quote:Their fellow villagers have often seen DVDs of “End of the Wicked,” Ms. Ukpabio’s bloody 1999 movie purporting to show how the devil captures children’s souls. And some have read her book “Unveiling the Mysteries of Witchcraft,” where she confidently writes that “if a child under the age of 2 screams in the night, cries and is always feverish with deteriorating health, he or she is a servant of Satan."

I don't which is scarier, the shit spewing from her mouth or that people actually listen to it.

I didn't hear about it the first time she was here in Houston. This march she will be met with protesters.

Helen U. has mixed African superstition with Pentecostalism to form a rather lucrative business (relatively speaking). The exorcism business makes big bucks in Nigeria. In a film I recently saw, one exorcist made 175 pounds (I believe it was pounds and not U.S. dollars) per exorcism. The center that houses children accused of witchcraft is a threat to her business. Allowing these "witches" (some of who are under two years of age) to live acts as a kind of proof that witches don't exist and are not a threat to the community. Hellen U. and her fellow thug preachers would like it if selling all your worldly possessions (or just going into debt) to pay an exorcist is the only option available to Nigerians (and all of Africa if they can get away with it).

As for Pentecostalism. It is alive and well in Houston. Just within two miles of my house are two of these churches, and another will be built as soon as they stop screwing around with their finances (long story).

I used to know someone who went to one of these churches. She was crazy as a loon and so was her son. She had her kid hopped up on some serious psyche meds. She started drugging him when he was midway through elementary school. The mother believes that her son's problems are due in part to "spiritural" problems. I need to look no further than the mother to discern the cause for the kids problems.

This aforementioned church also had a Boy Scout troop at one time. After a few years they booted out the Boy Scouts and stole their trailer. Greedy sons of bitches.
