Tribal Mark(s)?

don't like it, not to talk of being proud

uplawal:

@dominique,thank God is not even permitted in ISLAM

yeah, but ignorant ones do it though. there was this IRS teacher in my high school. he has four thick tribal across each face. those have got to be the most conspicous tribal marks i've ever seen.
i still cant imagine why parents would want subject their kids to that kind facial deformity.

Had it mean my parents gave me tribal marks,i would have disowned them and killed the perpetrator of that evil

uplawal:

@solad820,your marks is not bad,nice

u don dey trip already?

uplawal:

@dominique,thank God is not even permitted in ISLAM

Have seen numerous muslims with tirbal marks

LMAO i prolly will too

Never let things around you define who you are. Never let anyone define who you are. If I had, I would be so much proud of it. Everyone have one thing or the other they carry and not proud to talk about. Even that girl that left you. She is such a child for leaving you for such a minute reason. I am so proud of me. Learn to be proud of you.
Ps: dont tell me you dont have any quality to complement that tribal mark. Sure you do. Search within you!

You and I know that you just lied there.

olubuffett:

talk about fighting a tiger, some parent should be sued 4 abuse

True. But then, it was a form of identification. Like when a Yoruba, hausa or igbo man speaks, you know where they are from. Some used the marks as a form of protection from their enemies.

slap1:

I'm Igbo so I gat no tribal ma(s)rks. Only gat my big dear head. Mehn! I'm proud of it!

lol. So also George Lopez

ifedy:

Me too. Even some hausa have marks

cos they are ignorant about some things in ISLAM,the ones that knows is not right will never do it,marks for identification is allowed o,dnt get us wrong but not on the face

Best to ask Papiluwe.

The worst of all is the Ogbomosho eleven eleven horizontal and verical marks about 10 on each cheek
Very deep and very groovy as in grooves
They are very very unsightly and very very ugly
It automatically makes the person look wicked even before you get to know them
That was my impression as a child
Thank God it's now a crime to put those things on the face of a child

I'm still worried about the scars on my legs that I sustained when I was little and sometimes they come back to hurt me and you could then imagine what could have happened to me if I had some facial marks. That will be like a  double strike from dangote trailer overloaded with cement.

Where? in 9ja?
Thatz good news o

Even tho my mom has the sexiest tribal marks, I thank God she didnt decide to give me some

What is there to be proud of

Yes there are threads on that
Various SW states have made it a punishable crime
I wonder if it's ever been enforced but just acknowledging it as child mutilation and a punishable crime is a good start.

There is nothing sexy about scars on one's face
Nothing sexy at all in that
It is an act done in ignorance and that's just what it is
ask her if she'll rather not have them and I bet you sincerely she'll rather they weren't there.
If she thought they were sexy she should have done same to you.

i met a kafayat today with the cat type
she's pretty even with the tribal marks, maybe cos of the way she presents herself

lol it depends on how large or many there is.
Well it looks nice on her

Act of ignorance? hmmm, dont know what to say about that o

My thoughts exactly . . . .the Nigerian authorities dont have the time to be enforcing rules about tribal marks
They would rather be at check points to collect bribe

No
she looks nice despite the marks
Marks and scarrings cannot look nice on anybody.
The mere fact that she didn't give them to you tells me she doesn't like them
I'm not in any way saying people with tribal marks are doomed
God forbid
Obviously your mom is not being hindered by hers and that's what it ought to be

I don't have one

I don't have any tribal marks, but if I did, I would hate them, not be proud of them at all. And I would have had plastic surgery to remove them.

I see it as mutilation, no way would I subject my children to ruined faces.

Oto Nde Owe Nde. The way many people seem to feel about tribal markings is the same way many people seem to feel about tattoos but that hasn't changed anything. There are some who are deeply in love with tattoos. Likewise, there could be some who love tribal markings. Some find it disgusting. Some don't. No amount of debating changes sentiment.

By the way, there's really not much difference between tattoos and tribal markings.

Tribal mark kwa,how can u be proud of that?

The difference is that when people get a tatoo to their body they are well aware of what they are doing since they are adults but in the case pf tribal marks they are usually kids or infants that have no say of what is happening to them.

Thank you
People have a choice when they decide to get tatoos
Children don't ask to get scarred on their faces

You look sexy . . . .with/or without the mark. Nice pix

My mom has the same thing, except hers is horizontal

Ojuju Calabar lmao

People also give children tattoos; much like how children receive tribal markings. Also, tribal marks are not a thing of "usually kids or infants". Youth and adults also get tribal marks (more especially in the past due to [now eradicated/eradicating] culture). So, there's still not much of a difference between the two.
