They must be homosexuals to have sustained this kind of relationship.

all4naija: Did I say it is taboo? Please, reread most of my comment. Maybe your understanding of the word taboo is different from general definition.

just wondering are you "colored" South African??

Amaterasu (天照?), Amaterasu-ōmikami (天照大神／天照大御神?) or Ōhirume-no-muchi-no-kami (大日孁貴神?) is a part of the Japanese myth cycle and also a major deity of the Shinto religion. She is the goddess of the sun, but also of the universe. The name Amaterasu derived from Amateru meaning "shining in heaven." The meaning of her whole name, Amaterasu-ōmikami, is "the great august kami (Gama or God) who shines in the heaven". The Emperor of Japan is said to be a direct descendant of Amaterasu.

all4naija: You just proved me right with some of the images you posted. I am in no way against tradition but ancient things associated with it which are not right for daily uses should be done on special days.

The last post looks like Māori day celebration or movie rehearsal

all4naija: What have you to say about people perceptions and the horrible look of the practice?

Indeed, this is an example of what has almost died out in Yoruba culture of having facial marks. It is old practice and nobody needs it in the modern world because things change and we must learn to change with them. I can see some Africanism in you.But, we have to move on and leave disgusting and trivial things behind. We have to progress as a people and stop dwelling in things of the past as more important while they are not helping issues.
