A Nigerian fashion designer, Epaz, has
revealed how her tribal marks almost drove
her to committing suicide.
According to her, she was bullied during her
school days and also had her first boyfriend
who impregnated her at 21, all because she
felt she was ugly.
Read her inspiring post below…
“Gone are these things; there had been cases
where I wanted to commit suicide due to
inhibition in educational pursuits due to my
tribal marks.
When many people say they find my tribal
marks repulsive. Even in my school days ,
they called me all sorts of names because of
the severe tribal marks my dad put on my
face.
I had my first boyfriend at age 21. (My baby
father) all because I considered myself to be
the ugliest girl in the world. Chai !!! One of the
greatest thing that has happened to me was
getting educated and my ability to
communicate in fluent English language
otherwise it would have been disastrous for
me, so disastrous!!! Some people when they
see me they assumed I am uneducated and
start saying they pity me, I shake my head
sadly then.
Some years ago all I felt was resentment
towards my parents for giving my siblings and
I such scars in the first place.
I can’t count the number of times I’ve been
embarrassed by them.
At a time I have to lower the standard of the
kind of husband i would have loved to marry
but I have a daughter now and cared less
about settling down.
Fuckboys available Abeg I won’t let these
deep horizontal marks on my face hindered
me from getting anything I wanted.
I’m so over it now because I gat no time for
pity party for myself again. I love how you all
ginger me to be bolder and love myself just
the way I am, tribal marks or no tribal marks.
Impacting lives and Money making is my new
hobby now.

That would have been better for you

She is beautiful

An extremist culture.

So they mean they can't identify their child without cutting her face?

I dont want to insult anyone's culture but its unfair to treat a baby this way.

Why not let the child grow up, and then he/she makes a decision to have a tribal mark or not.

Having said that, in this case, i dont think the tribal mark made any difference.

According to Ebuka (from BBNaija), Big Buns when no get egg na still buns.

She's beautiful and has a good smile too BUT has to lose those coloured hair and find another colour.

Those marks are good though
