Senator Dino Melaye who represents Kogi west in the senate is poised to sponsor a bill against tribal marks after seeing the photo above. Melaye called on Nigerians via twitter to support his bill which will prevent babies and adults from going through facial mutilation and excruciating pain.

This is facial violence.

In this 21st century? oh afonja!

This bill becomes law by today.

All state most have state I'd card.

The issue of tinubu and lagos. If lagos had an I'd card, tinubu would never governor.


I respect Mr Ben Bruce for going back to bayelsa to run for election.


I have no respect for Mr eyitayo jedege. Who does not want to go back to bayelsa state to run

Oh! AFOnja why are thou wicked imagine the heart of these afonja

Tell me what child that will go through this and won't become a wicked sombori.

No wonder these people perfect the act of wickedness.


Scrap that nonsense from those regions that practise it let us see if they will begin to reason like wise men from the East

Very cruel. Innocent child.

We have more pressing issues in this country right
now than attacking traditional values and norms. In as much as his "quest" may be borne out of good intent, I'm very sure when his constituency elected him into the senate, this was not what they had in mind.
Second, the practice of killing flies with sledgehammers should be discouraged in this country. The fact that a particular family or tribe has decided to "take it to the next level" does not mean a harmless tradition should be wiped out altogether. On many occasions you don't even know it is there unless you look very closely.

Another useless and tribalistic comment from a tribalistic confused Afonja.

What makes a comment "useless"? Is it because there are no messages being passed across, or that you don't agree with it, or what?
Don't bother to answer - it's rhetorical.

Very good. National Identity Card is indeed enough

Barbaric Afonjas

nice bill

Afonjas, yeah sophisticated indeed. I keep warning this people, if you dare bring this barbarism to Biafrraland as Nigerian citizens, you will face death by firing squad. This violence against kids has to stop...a child can bleed to death from this! If you want to continue this barbarism as mark of your culture, then get your Oduo Republic and do it there and stop attaching by force with the rest of us.

Our lawmakers really don't know what to do up there...

na dem

dy don ruin d little boys swag 4 life

am weak being uneducated is a bad thing.

How do you do this to a child in this modern age?

As for you mr Dino please sponsor bills that will make the country better economically. Let human right activists take this one up.

Na them them, our omota brothers

I support him on this..

yes it should be stopped, this is child abuse

Oh my...!!!

YORUBA identity

This is totally unacceptable. It should be discouraged.

Afonja republic

I support him 100%. This is just horrible. If na whiteman land, this pikin will definitely sue his parents once he is old enough.

Bros, i will support you.

Ibadan people and their funny tradition.

Are you saying there will be no more Aderupokos and Sikiratus in the nearest future?
