@ Bawomolo. I honestly don't think people should be circumcising their kids. I admit that I'm happy that I am circumcised cause my wetin-call doesn't look like an ant-eater grin , but it's no less cruel, IMO, that taking a knife to someone's face

All I can say is I'm glad I wasn't given any tribal mark. Not a family culture.

I already have a butterfly looking scar on my right wrist. I think that's enough. . .

Dont have any and i think it's cruelty of the highest order for parents to give their kids tribal mark.

Am proud of mine it kinda blend with my face.its part of our identity (the Edo's.)

But i don't think parents give their children tribal marks anymore because we  have better health care system now and there's public awareness about some illness,unlike those days when a child would be given such marks as a result of illness or prevention of illness and convulsion.
Re: Are You Proud Of Your Tribal Mark? by Nobody: 10:43am On Mar 01, 2010
i don't like like it, i thank God i didn't have any,
and i don't intend to have an affair with any body who dose so
Re: Are You Proud Of Your Tribal Mark? by Iranoladun(f): 5:02pm On Mar 01, 2010
Tribal marks? I don't have any

Is it still relevant in today's world with better medical, education etc?

Although, if you visit Kobomoje area in Ibadan you may still encounter the native man/woman (Oloola) ready to unleash their 'art' on any innocent child that the parent subject to such!

It is simply Child abuse - mutilation of a child's face (who is too young to say no)! angry

All my elderly brothers have tribal marks and i do too, but our marks are not that visible, the binis don't solve mathematics on their kid's cheeks. most of the edo people that have tribal marks are from the royal lineage.

@poster

she didn't leave you because of your tribal marks, she left you for something else, go find out on time because you had the mark before she met you, so why would she leave as if she's just seeing the mark?
