It is not facial mutilation bur tribal marks.

In cultural context, it is an identifier and sometimes fortification against "spiritual attack".

We cannot belittle our culture whilst adopting foreign versions with the same outcome.

If tribal marks are to be outlawed we must do the same to tattoos.

Although I don't see anything wrong with tribal marks... it is simple a good method of ethnic identification. after a while, u don't feel the pain anymore. and have never heard that anyone was rejected for a job cos of tribal mark.

When did tattoo become a foreign phenomena?

rusher14:


What is this bellicose moniker on about?

We have all manner of Tattoos. yet, we cannot dispute the revival of tattoo culture in Nigeria today is influenced by modern Western culture.

I am asking for an all encompassing legislation and not selectetive decisions which do nothing than criminalise our culture while being silent on adopted phenomena that have no cultural, moral or ethical significance.

I hope they are going to be able to come up with a proper definition of what Facial Mutilation is. Is it any mark, painting or discoloration at all on the face, or is there a particular length of the mark beyond which a mark becomes a mutilation?
If the bill is to prevent Facial Mutilation, how about those drawn on the abdomen (Especially among the Oyo indigenes where a person's full name, date of birth and address are usually written in large bold letters) limbs or back?

Come! what's the meaning of all these letters you wasted here
Why're you still finding it difficult to understand the meaning of face mutilation
Why're you escalating it
