Traditional practice that permanently scars, mutilates and disfigures a person's God given smooth face...
Not minding the pains the 'victim' would go through; especially the one's mutilated at infancy...
These are the kind of practices that would still make the white man call us barbaric...
If you have the money, you can opt for plastic surgery; although most enlightened and civilised families have done away with this archaic practice.

What of traditional practice that permanently scars, mutilates and disfigured a person's God given smooth pe.nis...

Not minding the pains the victims will go through; especially the ones mutilated at infancy.

Are those who practice them barbaric?
Can plastic surgery fix it?
How many enlightened people have done away with this practice?

One noticeable feature of popular Nollywood actor , Afeez Abiodun popularly known as Afeez Owo are the tribal marks on his face . While some might argue that he would have been more handsome without them , the actor begs to differ as he told Saturday Beats that he had to face reality and accept what his parents created on his face .

He opened up that initially as a young boy , he disliked the marks and went to the extent of using sandpaper to get rid of them all to no avail simply because he was always taunted by bus conductors .

Owo added that he would never allow anyone inflict such scars on the face of his children.

“ I am very comfortable with my tribal marks now and if anything ever wipes them off my face, I would feel bare or naked and my fans would not recognise me . While I was growing up in Surulere, there were a lot of times I was teased by people because of my tribal marks . They abused me so much but I did not care; today my tribal mark is my trademark. There was a time people teased me so much that I attempted to use sandpaper to wipe them off especially when bus conductors insulted me about it. They always picked on me and called me various names but I thank God for who I am today. I am also glad I did not get rid of the tribal marks . There is no insult anyone can dish out to me over my tribal marks that would hurt my feelings . Although I like my tribal marks , I can never allow anyone to give my children tribal marks , ” he said .

The thespian went down memory lane with Saturday Beats as he spoke about how his parents did not support his career and he had to sponsor his education when he was in primary school .
“ When I started my acting career, it was rough and tough . The first challenge I faced was from my parents who felt I did not know what I was doing with my life . I lived with them in Oyo State and they felt that I ought to go to school to study . They weren’ t pleased with me , so they backed off and I had to finance my education from Primary 5 till I got to Form 5 . When I got to Lagos, I had to fend for myself as well . I got a little place on Randle Avenue , Surulere and whenever I was going for rehearsals , I trekked from my house in Surulere to Saka Tinubu , Victoria Island . I never knew that I would become someone in life . I just went with hope and I had it in mind that if I passed out while trekking either to the venue or back home , then so be it. I got a breakthrough in 1998 and two years later , I produced my first movie , ” Afeez Owo said .

I just sighted a thousand igbo men running into this house with lube oil in their hands

They are coming here to masturbate on this thread

To my igbo bros, enjoy

To the yoruba Gs, remember that the one that hates is the suffering one

Channel the negativity you receive from your enemies into industry

Friend, Times have changed and the need for the marks no longer exists. There was a time you needed the mark to guaranty your safety and identify with a clan. Whether we like it or not, it’s part of our history as a people, as black people. I agree with you it’s not needed in a globalized world.

Whether from creation or creatures, when you have an irreversible lot in life, you appreciate it if you want your life to appreciate in value. Try and read my post with understanding and not with prejudiced view. The life mentioned in "when life gives you lemon " could be from creation, other creatures or the created himself.


Hating yourself over what you cannot correct will make you sink with the object of hate itself.



Which tribe did not even make tribal marks on their children before? Tell me and I will send you an album of examples.
