But seriously, what would it take for the osu practice to come to an end in Igboland ? One of the factors that enabled early Christian missionaries to establish a foothold quickly in the Igbo heartland was their promise to new converts that the new order would guarantee equality of rights and opportunities to everyone. In most Igbo communities, the osu were the first group of converts to flock en masse into new churches and schools that mushroomed everywhere. Disillusionment soon dampened their enthusiasm when it gradually became clear that even the Whiteman’s church was powerless to stop discriminatory treatment meted out to the minority osu population. |

Let's conduct a protest across Igboland, Yorubaland, and Hausaland urging them to stop facial scarifications because they are no longer in trend. Tats are the new thing. |

Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by Arnold1(m): 3:05am On Jul 21, 2008 |
HCH3COO: I think osu practice in Igboland should take precedence. The practice is archaic and barbaric. |

Queenisha:Ok, thanks, Well I saw this lady and she had like 3 lines( different sizes) on each cheeks, I went closer to look becos at first I thought it was make-up. Upon getting closer I realised they were actually marks. Can someone explain the meaning behind them. I mean why do people have them there? Is it to identify who you are, in terms of tribes etc ![]() Hannibal: ok, I am gonna get some tribal marks tomorrow, Let's see you anul the wedding becos of that, ![]() ![]() ![]() |

A woman's face is way down on my list of requirements when it comes to how I like my women. So she can have all the OGBOMOSHO marks but as long as she get good body(IKEBE) and a sense of humor, all is a go go. I mean, a few years back I couldn't get MAMA SUWE off my mind. ![]() ![]() |

HCH3COO: Not in this day and age. which is why the thread osisi mentioned was very surprising to people |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by HCH3COO: 3:08am On Jul 21, 2008 |
Arnold1:I agree that the osu thing must come to a screeching halt too. Didn't know much about it until I read your posts on this thread. |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by Queenisha: 3:08am On Jul 21, 2008 |
doyin13: LOL let me see you dissing women again in another thread |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by Arnold1(m): 3:10am On Jul 21, 2008 |
How can anyone justify treating people with such indignity because their forefathers were sacrificed to the gods ? Osu practice in Igboland ! |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by HCH3COO: 3:11am On Jul 21, 2008 |
KarmaMod: How many people run back to Naija from obodo oyinbo to cut their children's faces? Exactly. Tradition is clearly still very predominant in Nigerian society. It is usually the unrefined families in the villages that fall victims to these practices. |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by Hannibal: 3:13am On Jul 21, 2008 |
Queenisha: More like y'all can't do without Black men. We are the only choice u have got!!! Chat2MeBac: U wont even let a mosquito touch ur face, let alone tribal marks engraved from ur scalp to your chin. I won't annul the wedding. . . . . . The wedding would annul itself. ![]() ![]() doyin13: Doyin, are u freaking serious?? The babe i saw u chasing relentlessly don't have tribal marks. Are u sure u wld pursue a babe with tribal marks religiously like the Abuja babe?? ![]() ![]() |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by KarmaMod(f): 3:13am On Jul 21, 2008 |
HCH3COO: Exactly. Families I wouldnt wanna be part of. |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by Arnold1(m): 3:16am On Jul 21, 2008 |
Sunny Ade has large tribal marks and is adored not only in Nigeria, but worldwide. Can the same be said about an Osu in Igboland ?

Hannibal: Kai. . . .I don suffer. . . .See as this man strip me naked for public. Abeg oo . . . . .I dey inside enuff wahala already. @topic You knw there was a time i considered having a scar on my cheek like Sub zero in mortal combat. @Arnold1 Seems like you need a big teddy hug |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by HCH3COO: 3:20am On Jul 21, 2008 |
KarmaMod:What? Don't get me wrong. It is still no reason to flake from dating someone you love. The kids are now overseas, the older generations are passing away, the new breed is uninterested in sticking with the old ways. You are marrying the man, not his family like you said. |

doyin13: I wish I could reach out and hold him in a warm embrace ![]() and never let go ![]() the boy is just in a world of his own I love you arnold1 You can lean on me ![]() ![]() ![]() |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by Hannibal: 3:22am On Jul 21, 2008 |
doyin13: Ya network leaked again on Friday. It's becoming a habit. @ Arnold1, Sunny Ade's tribal marks are not the kinda marks i am talking about. Have u seen those Mallams in the North?? I was once stopped by a mobile police officer in Lagos. . . . .He begged for 50 Naira. . . . When i saw his marks, i gave him 500 bucks. . . . . .I felt pity for him His parents or guardian should be jailed. ![]() ![]() |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by motunrayo4(f): 3:23am On Jul 21, 2008 |
Im not going to lie. . .even though Sunny Ade is mad old. .he's still a cutie. . . . . .he's so hansome |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by HCH3COO: 3:25am On Jul 21, 2008 |
motun_rayo:Look at this little buzzard. Here showing face after ditching me yesterday. Crushing on an old man. Is he your type? |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by Queenisha: 3:27am On Jul 21, 2008 |
Hannibal: ROFL. I was scared by those marks as a child I remember a youth corper that lived in our house downstairs. I used to run away whenever I saw him. |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by Queenisha: 3:28am On Jul 21, 2008 |
let me go draw some tribal marks on his back i.e Mr Queenisha today na today. goodnight y'all. |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by HCH3COO: 3:30am On Jul 21, 2008 |
Arnold, I suggest you create your own thread and title it "the effects of the OSU Caste System" before these people descend on you. |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by Queenisha: 3:32am On Jul 21, 2008 |
HCH3COO: leave him. Nairaland is open to all peoples. The sane and the loonies ![]() It may actually be the therapy he needs |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by Arnold1(m): 3:32am On Jul 21, 2008 |
Hannibal: Thanks jare Mr Hannibal. Now, this was the first post on this thread by Queenisha Do Yorubas discriminate against other Yorubas with large tribal marks on their faces? Why is she just focusing on the yorubas when other tribes in Nigeria, like the Mallams, have tribal marks ? |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by Hannibal: 3:32am On Jul 21, 2008 |
Queenisha: No human being deserves to be engraved(marked is too subtle) the way Hausas do their faces up there. . . Human Rights group should start looking into it. It's as heinous as female circumcision. Animals don't even deserve such treatment, let alone MEN. Arnold1: She might not know what other parts of Nigeria do em tribal marks. Cut her some slack. |
Re: Effects Of Large Tribal Marks On Faces by doyin13(m): 3:34am On Jul 21, 2008 |
motun_rayo: Excuse me. . .I don't think I have come across you before. . , . And I must say I sure would like to put a few marks on you ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Arnold1: How many mallams have you seen on nairaland. Just name olodo ![]() Is this place not mainly Igbos and Yorubas? |
