well tribal marks should be stop in Nigeria less liking it. This practice is common among the yoruba clan, making the face weird looking expecially the giant marks.

Dont have any.

some tribal marks are terrible!!!! like a tiger attacked someone's face.
There are some cute ones though (mercy johnson and ini).

I dont think children are given tribal marks these days as more people are learned now and
see it as facial mutilation.

evidence please

Time for you to think home .

I've read some posts In which some males called tribal marks barbaric or abusive etc etc. I'm just wandering if any of them happens to be circumcised, and how barbaric or abusive they think that process is.

@op. Im sure there are women out there that won't be bothered by them. Goodluck

interesting comment about circumcision. the procedure is pretty much cosmetic these days. i personally won't want foreskin nor would i want tribal marks.

should circumcision be left to the male to decide when he is older?

I'm sure if anyone had a choice as a child, he/she will reject being carved up
Its not cool looking at all. . .

ain't got none, sorry, but no, i wouldn't be proud of it coz i see no reasons y my parents should cut d hell outta me when i couldn't even sit on my own,
and moreover it's a bad scar on a face,

Tribal marks? Lol! I dont av any but honestly i ain't like it

wat is there to b proud. Abolish such evil act

oyo n ogbomosho people shuld stop this. why do they behave like cave men/women given tribal mark to their kids. They spoil the beauty of d kids n make them look like terrorist

i knw oyo n ogbomosho memb would vote multiple time. Thats y kids cry wen de see them

Hmm. Good point.

Well, guess it's all about what the society considers "nice looking" these days.

@topic, As for me, I don't have those, wouldn't want it any other way either.

Such Act should be abolished, don't care to know the significant of this evil act.

mafioso2:


You know there is alittle difference between the yoruba culture and Binis, BUT OUR MARKS NO WOWO LIKE THE ONES WEY I SEE NOW SHA, LOL

i didn't even know that Binis have tribal marks. i unconsciously touched my cheeks upon reading your post  

THE AMAKA:

THANK GOD i don't have any though, wouldn't want those.  

yes, some igbos do. but they are usually small, vertical, barely visible marks.

@topic--victims of this act should sue their parents for body damage.@ whiteroses**mi like gbogbo effizi to n jami si yi but anyways mo wish lati ri ila idi e yen ati tiri oyan e yen

Do they still do those?

People should let their children get to an age whereby they can rationally choose whether or not they want these tribal marks.

It's as good as child abuse!

@ Topic, Yes!
Dnt gives a phuck wat anybody thinks.i av a number 11 mark on ma face n jst lyk Mcdonalds, "i'm luving it"

Any way! I thanked GOD I DONT HAVE 1. Cos i would have hate myself. As young pple who had it are nt pleased with their tribal mark.

Tribal marks are old fashioned and they have no place in the 21st century.

It is unfair to the kids and can lead to them being ostracised.

And to make matters worse, girls are at even worse disadvantage!  I an igbo man taking an ibadan lady home to his family with those marks. They'll freak!!

I saw a woman from the middle belt with 3 short tribal marks strating from the tips of the mouth and they were grotesque. I would never marry such a lady. And you know what, she was over 30years and still single.

.d0n't have.

lol, now that you know what are you going to do

For me Am proud of my Marks(he who is not proud of his colour is not fit to live)

I use to have one small tribal mark. Now, i have 3! Got them frm an accident, yet am proud of them all!

Saw this nice slim girl a couple of weeks back, but on looking at her face the 2 vertical marks on her face.
Each was a length of about 5cm, width of 0.5cm , depth of 0.5cm. You could put a stick of Consulate in It and the thing will blend in.
I remember when my Maternal Grandpa died in the 80s and my mum was taking us for the burial paroles, my Dad left a standing order that we should not be marked or else hell will break loose and this was my dad who had small 1-1 mark on his face.
