My People called me a w itch because of my b0wed legs - Nigerian Lady rejoices after getting a free life changing surgery (Photos) 0

In a heartwarming turn of events, a young Nigerian girl who once faced cruel taunts and painful stigma because of her bowed legs is now smiling again—this time, with confidence and joy after a life-changing surgery.
Growing up in a small community, Ada (not her real name) endured far more than just the physical pain of her condition. Her bowed legs, a result of untreated rickets, became a target for community gossip and superstition.
> “They called me a witch,” she recalled in a tearful interview. “I didn’t understand why people hated me for something I couldn’t control. I just wanted to walk like everyone else.”
In a society where physical differences are often misunderstood, Ada was labeled, mocked, and ostracized. School became unbearable. Walking to the market meant enduring stares and whispers. Her dreams of a normal life seemed distant—until hope came unexpectedly.
Thanks to a local non-profit medical outreach program, Ada was offered a free orthopedic surgery at a partner hospital. The surgery, which would have cost her family more than they could ever afford, was done completely free of charge.
The transformation was both physical and emotional.
> In a now-viral video, Ada is seen walking steadily, smiling brightly, and twirling in her new straightened legs. “I feel like I’ve been given a second chance,” she says. “Now I can walk, run, and dance like the other girls.”
Her story has touched thousands online, sparking a wave of encouragement and donations to help more children like her.
Social media users praised her courage and the efforts of the medical team:
“This brought tears to my eyes. God bless everyone who made this happen.”
“No child should ever feel less because of a medical condition. She’s a star!”
As Ada prepares to return to school, she hopes to become a nurse someday—to help others walk into the same kind of hope that changed her life.
> “They once called me a witch,” she says, “but now I know I’m just a girl who needed help. And I got it.”
