banku: Are you blind? Their is a plethora of evidence of precolonial igbos using Body scarification, uli and nsibidi. Dont discard your heritage because you want to appear more "European" |

banku: We definitely do. In Ngwa, for instance, we have kanja, which is a scarification practice that was in vogue in precolonial times even up to the 1970s. The wave of Christianity from the 1940s to 1980s diminished the practice. Now it’s mostly a memory. I don’t think I’ve seen anyone born after 1980 that has kanja. There are probably some. Anyhow, it was not too long ago that the practice was rather prominent. |
