The Yorubas are not the only Tribes with the Tribal mark. My stay in the north during my service year really prooved that "ILA JU ILA LO" meaning Mark pass Mark.

Tribal marks are a beauty to behold. I admire the Beriberis and Kanuris of Borno state for their beautiful tribal marks. The Yoruba tribal marks are cute too.

Indiginous cultures on every continent have marks and body modifications, so I don;t know why some of you brainwashed people from certain parts of Nigeria talk of it, like it is a taboo or something you have never seen before
In Africa, Fulanis, Masai, Kanuris, Yorubas, Mandes, Dinkas, Toubous, Zulus, Akans, Malagasy- Thousands of others all over the continent

In Asia and Oceania, it is widely practiced in Thailand, India, Indonesia, Among Native Australians, Maoris of new Zealand, Papuans, others, so many i can't count.
Native Americans are especially known for it! and are proud of it....

If people like the Masais, some Yoruba, Samburu, some Fulani, some native Americans and a gazilion other tribes out there, continue with these customs, then let them be, after-all a good portion of these people as well, don't practice these customs anymore--- Some of you are really beyond redemption with the way you think.

thus far we have come as a people, there is no place like home, sweet home. I love the beauty of our languages and the wisdom of our fathers in their proverbs and mantra. May the lord God cause his face to shine on his people and restore the country to her path of greatness. God bless the makers of this wonderful thread and the great people of this country.

This is my home.
My place of delight.
