lokoloko84:seems you are reading my post with ur as.shole. Where in my posts did I mock ppl with tribal marks. The marks were drawn on their faces when they were little kids and they have know idea about it. My posts is against parents and guards who forcefully draw the mark on little children.. Hope you can digest that. |

Samwell247:Of course,there are several reasons for tribal marks. It is less common these days because of modernity. The essence of you creating this thread is related to your pseudo superior complex and fake life most you live in Nigeria. How can you say that you hate individuals with tribal marks. I am sure,you would have killed your parents, if you were given those marks. I know that you will go to your religious institution this weekend. Religious bigot.. |

U only talk about the disadvantages not the advantages. Tribal marks makes it easy to identify somebody from a specific lineage or family. Tribal marks is used in some places as a symbol of royalty (specific tribal mark patterns). and they are also used in identifying a native of a town like for instance during the mass killing of the Igbos some other non hausa-fulani tribes were killed if they had tribal marks they could have been saved. Also it helps in distinguishing civilians from immigrants, royals from commoners,noble or higher class from commoners(in a capitalist society). so I don't think it should abolished but should not be put on the face (if much e.g Oyo tribal marks) and there must also be a good reason for the use of tribal marks by the family. |

If not for civilisation (white's man culture) @op you wouldn't have added that word "cruelty". Our culture is our origin. It makes us unique and different from other people. Buh since the existence of the western characteristics in africa, we've tend to kill our very own origin. 1 Like |

A lot of you kids are just plain silly! To call someone's culture cruel is stupidity of the highest order. If you don't agree with it or don't understand why it is done, just say so, do not call it wicked or inhumane for every culture has a origin and purpose. In Africa, do you know the meaning of parents? Do you know the importance of showing one's lineage or heritage? No you do not! Rather than you to do research and see why it is still being done today, you rush quickly to judgment and will forever be ignorant. 1 Like |

blue, green eye is very ugly, you have jsu be blinded into looking directly at people's eye. Just imagine a blue green eye without a makeup, ha! horror. The case of tribal marks dates back to slavery period. It devalues the cost of slaves, it was considered as spoilt goods, besides, the main reason for slaves to accept what they were made for (work) was to make them forget who they are. so once a black man was brough in into the ship or plantations, the question from the slaves' children would be where is he/she from? The problems afterwards was, when a person tells them about it, they would say "it was our forefather culture" culture ko, culture ni, forefather were smart. the older then new freedom was better than beauty, but as a young person, you know what bauty means to you/me/us.

lokoloko84: Big brother, tradition we call it but it doesn't make a sense for u to brutally give marks to an innocent child... I never mocked anyone with tribal marks in any of my posts so read it all again... I'm only trying to say its wrong and it must stop... As an adult, can u put down your face and allow someone give u such marks... Think of these kids that way... And tattoos on the other hand is never forced on someone... U willingly accept it.... See the difference... But truth be told.... Its bad.... |

How bad have you bleached yourself? looool, i took a perfect look at blue and green eye, i saw weakness and evil. For the blacks with that recessive light eye genes, well what is there to say? black has it all. The best of the best skin. it is perfect with the sun, it align with the sun so perfectly, also with the snow. i worked with a white dude times ago in an european summer, he could not sleep for 2 days after sunburn. in my mind i said GOD took time set down your punishment in advance, from the tip of my mouth i said easy easy, don't try africa ooo, he frowned, i smiled. with this current sunflares everyday and drought, we will see whose eyes and body will burn.

They say Culture is a way of life but I say Culture is what you want it to be...people,especially in my culture "Yoruba" believe in morals and see it as a necessary tool in attaining greatness. To me the tribal mark is just plain wickedness something someone just came up with and people followed suit,it is repugnant and as a Christian apart being of the Yoruba extraction see this as telling God "you didn't create me well". I see tribal marks worst than tattoos although I do not subscribe to neither of them. 2 Likes |

Samwell247: Strictly in regards to "finding a mate will be a problem", I'll let you know that I specifically included l tribal marks in my list of must haves when searching for my next wife. I consider the Ibadan "one one" as a traditional beauty mark on a Lady, sort of an icing on the cake. To all my tribal marked ladies please consider yourselves beautiful and have a happy 2015.

Sandd: Get your facts straight, i have nothing against any race or color, however, Africans are cleaner than most that you have mentioned, you will hardly see a Nigerian that will go into washroom with cup of tea and leave it in the urinals while doing his/her thing or be done without washing hands...... while you will agree with me that it is the order of the day with MOST you have mentioned. Also, color of the skin is not about being dirty . . . . be educated about it. |
