kulyie: as far as i am concerned in this day and age it is defiling and disfiguring the face of a child,if it is for tribal sentiments,that's not an excuse because there are a thousand and one ways of identifying people from certain ethnic group,hence as far as kulyie is concerned it is very disgusting,moreober if you are a christian it is even in the bible,somewhere around leventicus that God detests cutting of marks on other peoples body,it is a sin to that person's body

Imprida: NEVER

What about tattoos?

mazaje: For those of you comparing tattos and tribal marks, the two are NIOT the same. Adults give themselves tattos, while tribal marks are made on kids by their parents and gaurdians. . .Why dont you allow the kids to grow up and seek their consent before mutilating their faces? Which adult wıill want his face to be mutilated all ın the name of tribal marks. . .For parents that support this evil act, why carry it on your innocednt kids? Why not wait till they are adults. . .Any parent that tries to mutilate the face of a 21 old chid wıll be severly beaten by that chid. . .Parents know ıts bad that is why they carry it out ONLY on their helpless kids when they are babies not when they are adults. . .

kulyie: exactly and ill send them abroad for facial surgery and of course that will be the last time they will ever see my kids again and of course get them areested for assault on a child and tresspassing except of course they sign an undertaken that they will sponsor the child abroad for the surgery,if not,na cell they go dey

Imprida: NEVER

Finally we agree on something. Thank God this is not a woman bashing thread. Hahahaha. Happy easter.

polokor60: i would not give my kids any tribal mark but saying it's disgusting is very wrong of you.i have lived in delta state and i repeat you can never label their tribal mark as disgusting because it's even beautiful than most tatoos of this present age.Nigerians are very religious people but most of them are hypocrites that do not follow the true teachings of the bible and the koran.disgusting means ugly, distaseful e.t.c.dis nor be tribal mark of tiger claws but a beautiful tiny flower designers tribal mark located only at the left cheek,so tell me what is disgusting about this beautiful tribal mark?if na oyibo man bring ham come it's acceptable/fashionable(like tatoos) but if na fellow black man na cave man e be.smh

lepasharon: IT MAKES SOMEBODY LOOK WICKED B4 U GET TO KNW THEM!

ItsModella:
To add to that, tattoos are usually aesthetic, the same cannot be said for tribal marks. Most of them are disgusting on sight.

Tribal marks and tattoos are CLEARLY two different thing. The only similarity they share is that they involve puncturing of the skin.

naijathings: female circumcision na another wahala.. destroy a girl's sex life forever in the name of tradition. Lord have merrrrrrrrrcy

wizzymate: Tribal marks are used to identify certain ethnic groups like itshekiri's in delta state btw If your girlfriend cheats on u, don't fight or argue, jst organize to have one baba give her thick tribal marks.

adconline: Stupid culture. We are using FB, BB IPhone, TV , Radio etc to spread message and reach our intended audience. Why not town crier and gong as our ancestors did?

kulyie: its ok if you are cool with it,but deceiving me only to put those things on my kids face will attract my wrath
