kulyie: same to you o my dear but i have never come across a beautiful tribal mark as you have described it before.most of them are always ugly as in the pictures a poster put here on this threadmy ex gf is from urhobo and she have it as well,i don't know how i would describe it.it's very tiny,the same tune with the skin colour,just on one tiny spot on the cheek/entire face.some times you won't presume it to be a tribal mark.if you come in contact with most people from urhobo who are more than 25 years of age,just take a close look at their cheek,you would see it but if you don't look closely you may not see it.it's pretty cool.Tribal mark in general is almost extinct and it's irrelevant in this present age. |

Hell no! Abegi at this age and time? Even though I have one on my face I look at the mirror and wish there was a way I could get to remove it. Please let me know if there is a way to remove tribal marks. |

everyone in my family has tribal marks including me. My grandfather, father, mother , brother, nephew, etc. EVERYONE! this will be continued for the future generations. Anyone who doesnt have tribal marks in my family , I will disown them. all the children in my family are proud of their marks and their identity. |

12 inches!: theres no such things as black race or Africans. we are all people from different tribes living in different parts of the world. Every Tribe, be it one in Africa or South America or India or Malaysia, has its own unique customs and tradtitions. Tribal marks is our style. they are resorting to such deceitful means because society is trying to destroy this culture and identity, so there is no other way. its because our people suffer from a slave mentality and identity crisis. |

kulyie: as far as i am concerned in this day and age it is defiling and disfiguring the face of a child,if it is for tribal sentiments,that's not an excuse because there are a thousand and one ways of identifying people from certain ethnic group,hence as far as kulyie is concerned it is very disgusting,moreover if you are a christian it is even in the bible,somewhere around leventicus that God detests cutting of marks on other peoples body,it is a sin to that person's body hey stu.pid, please share with us the 1001 ways of identifying someone if you see a man runing on the road, can you immediately make out his tribe, especially if he is form a small less known one? Apart from identification and beauty, tribal marks are an integral part of our culture. as for the bible, no one cares what that israeli book says. it has no right to dictate terms in the Pagan Tribal nation of Nigeria. |

ALl my friends from South Sudan have marks. They like it and they said they will continue it. Infact, my Nuer friend who studies in Cavendish University , Uganda, even explained to me the meaning of the 6 forhead marks. (He has 7 because he is the last-born). Each marks represents the Tribal Laws / COnstitution. "The first mark denotes that you should not bother yourself with the small children. You must know that you have reached the age of manhood. -The second scar mark signifies that you must not be afraid of anybody. You must know that you are an adolescent and not dependent on your parents. -The third scar mark advocates that you should not steal or make any mistakes, that means you must avoid scandalous things. You must participate in the defense of the public and you must handle the family or deal well with the household. -The fourth scar mark advocates that you should not just eat in any place and you must be an honorable young man. -The fifth scar mark signifies that you should not be greedy or gluttonous or covetous. -The last and sixth scar mark advocates that you should not make or commit adultery with the wife of another man or with girls who are related to you especially the ones that have some blood relations. It is incest taboo and causes death or disgrace to the defaulters. Below 1st pic Nuer Man 2nd pic , Dinka man. (SPLA soldier)

PAGAN 9JA: How do you know this? Have you seen her before? |
Re: Can You Allow Tribal Marks On Your Kid. by PAGAN9JA(m): 8:43am On Apr 02, 2013 |
nitlad: no her comments reveal her physical features. just as in literature, the author describes the character in detail to make us visualise, so has she done the same thing. |
Re: Can You Allow Tribal Marks On Your Kid. by Nobody: 8:54am On Apr 02, 2013 |
Nope. I will not allow my kids to have their faces branded. My parents didn't, neither did myself or my siblings. I don't agree with it, but respect those that consider tribal marks beautifying. But having a child (who has no say) branded, that's bad. Someone mentioned people having tattoos done. Tattoo's are by choice, tribal marks, well let's say I've never come across anyone branding their own faces. |
Re: Can You Allow Tribal Marks On Your Kid. by Nobody: 8:57am On Apr 02, 2013 |
yejhiz-kebab: Tribal marks are scar tissue, and scars can be removed cosmetically. Expensive, but definitely reversible. |
Re: Can You Allow Tribal Marks On Your Kid. by Nobody: 9:08am On Apr 02, 2013 |
ekwah: Bro, it's just one of those things - we don't need to understand, we simply need to respect the choices others make. I personally will NOT have my children's faces branded under any circumstance, for those that will, good for them - their children, their choice. But would the child have consented, if he / she was old enough, and was asked? That's a topic for another thread. And if anyone besides parents of a child brand said child's face, it can be seen as a criminal act, depending on the beliefs of the parents, or where they live. |

Siena: They are born into the tribe, they must perform this basic duty towards the tribe. Our parents do it on us to instill in us a pride in our ethnic group and identity and we do it on our children. They may make a tantrum, but remember, there are many out there in this world who dont have an identity or a culture or a tribe, and we should be thankful to the Gods for giving us this privilege and self-respect. this is not a criminal issue. no one has the right to judge what is criminal or not when it comes to the issue of tribal custom. |
Re: Can You Allow Tribal Marks On Your Kid. by PAGAN9JA(m): 9:16am On Apr 02, 2013 |
If tribal marks are banned, then cricumcision, baptism , etc., must also be banned. |
