Am Removing My Tribal Marks Soon ,do You Want Yours Gone Too? by Nobody: 12:17am On Aug 09, 2015 |
embarassed on a serious note with a sad look ,our parent never thought the world could get so civilized , I guess they did not also thought about our choice and right as humans before consenting to follow some yucky traditional fashion ( permanent for that matter). Tribal marks are beautiful and they are signs of identification ssssh! That's so 1967!, the world has become a global village as envisioned by McLuhan and a Nigerian also said it to be a global room where anyone can choose to be and be identified as any tribe, not with some facial butchery. As much as we don't get to choose our parents ,you can not not decide what should be done to you as a baby , sad as it is,many of us has accepted it ,grow with it and we have been living with it regardless of the inferiority ,low self esteem , bullying ,condemnation, and stigmatization we get to withstand. Some say just accept yourself the way you are ,as if that's how God made us! Some people literarily believe anyone with tribal mark is an illiterate or a mugu and you will clearly see a surprised look on their faces when they hear you speak nice and logically. Do you have one or two marks on you ? Share your story here or Are you interested in contributing meaningfully to this topic ,let's reason a way out. |

kradleber: I haven't seen him for a long time but as far as I know, he didn't really mind I like it on guys |
Re: Am Removing My Tribal Marks Soon ,do You Want Yours Gone Too? by kradleber: 10:14am On Aug 09, 2015 |
in as much as we should always try to see the good in bad things - this irrelevant & barbaric culture should be abolished legally if my parents did this to me I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive them |
Re: Am Removing My Tribal Marks Soon ,do You Want Yours Gone Too? by kradleber: 10:17am On Aug 09, 2015 |
Gurgle: you do realise it comes with a lot of things right? •stigma amongst others there's no where the person would go & people won't tend to pity them- like they are victims of mutilation ... 1 Like |
Re: Am Removing My Tribal Marks Soon ,do You Want Yours Gone Too? by Gurgle(f): 10:22am On Aug 09, 2015 |
kradleber: But why would you have a stigma, you didn't give yourself the mark I have seen so many people with it where I am, nobody cares about it Anyway, please enlighten me. What is the stigma Note that im not talking about those excessive marks that cover a big part of your face, those aren't really fair on the child. Just the small ones on both cheeks |

kradleber: Got tribal marks i.e 1.1 ,it does not really show in pictures, except when it's a close shot. |

kradleber: Can't you see she must have concealed it with make ups? |
Re: Am Removing My Tribal Marks Soon ,do You Want Yours Gone Too? by kradleber: 11:17am On Aug 09, 2015 |
Gurgle: it doesn't matter - stigma that my parents weren't literate enough & were very diabolical maybe Gurgle: people with tribal marks don't complain openly - so because nobody cares about it in your clime doesn't mean everybody is cool with it Gurgle: •most of those with tribal marks have low-self esteem - I mean the conscious ones who went to school not the old people who don't care •I was speaking with a girl who had tribal marks on a certain day & anytime our faces met she got shy - why? she was probably ashamed of it.. •like O.P said - people with tribal marks are stereotyped by society as Illiterates •It attracts unnecessary attention 2 Likes |
Re: Am Removing My Tribal Marks Soon ,do You Want Yours Gone Too? by Gurgle(f): 11:20am On Aug 09, 2015 |
kradleber: Ok I understand you I actually saw a documentary about it, they travelled to Ijebu-Ode and they filmed them scraping the mark into the baby's face...wow I don't know, if I saw a doctor or a university professor with it I would be really interested as to their background. The low self-esteem cant really arise if you just accept it as part of who you are and wear it comfortably Anyway I don't have any so I cant talk for those who do, my parents cant ever do that lol especially my father, he cant just do it haha |
