Top 5 Types of Yoruba Tribal Marks
1. Ile Ife tribal mark
This style is called the Pele. It's simply three long lines inscribed on the cheeks. Pele is popular among Ile Ife people, but almost every Yoruba tribe has their own form of pele; for the Egbas their pele looks more like a not too long dash.

Tribal marks in Nigeria have always been a significant part of our culture. Yorubaland is one of the cradles of this practice.
Origin of Tribal Marks
If you look deeply into history, the practice of tribal marks has been in existence for hundreds of years and they are not peculiar to Nigeria, not even Africa. The major purpose of tribal marks is for identification of members of same tribes or families.
The permanent marks became one of the symbols of identification for tribe members. Let's take a look at the most usable styles of marks for Yoruba and Nigeria.

How are tribal marks made?
Tribal marks are made through scarification technique. People who make these marks usually use razors or sharp objects to make them on children's faces or other parts of their bodies. Then they rub native dye from charcoal marks to prevent the skin from closing up as the body tries to heal itself. The native dye also helps to stop bleeding.
Tribal marks and their meaning
Some Yoruba societies still practice the tradition facial marking in these modern times. According to the traditions, every child in Yoruba land is born into a patrilineal clan. This clan share marks or “ila,” family name “oriki,” taboos and poetry.
Tribal marks mean different things and serve different purposes among different tribes and families. Let's take a look at four most used explanations for tribal marks in Yoruba land and beyond!

1. Identification
Tribal marks in Nigeria have always been a significant part of our culture. Yoruba land is one of the cradles of this practice. fy the bearer of the mark as one of the family or clan members. People may have different types of marks according to their villages and families origin.

2. Religion and Spiritual Protection
Some facial marks can be identified as part of religious practices. In some parts of Yoruba land tribal marks on the face are believed to grant spiritual power to children, protect a child from evil spirits and stop death from taking the child at the very young age.
This practice can be witnessed not only in Yoruba but also in many other tribes of Nigeria.

3. Healing Purposes
One of the most unusual meanings associated to tribal marks is connected to traditional healing practices. Healers in some tribes mark children faces and bodies to help them to recover. It was used to treat children with measles, pneumonia, and convulsion. The healing marks could be made on any part of the body. These marks are very small and often difficult to spot.

Nigerians really need to decide who they want as president. Tinubu needs to go and take care of his failing health first and support Osinbanjo. Those that are urging him on don't mean well for him.

It won't fly

Why? It will! Just watch and see.

greymiles:

Why didn’t you remove River state too
Or calabar since it’s a former capital also
This op na muntula, u want to determine governors working by how developed their region is, So Kano governor should be in charge of Kaduna state development since they are both in same region

At least it will give an idea of how things are currently being done in that state.

Na wah for you o! What are you insinuating?

I will create a thread comparing Nigerian cities side by sides with the exception of Lagos and Abuja. Geopolitical zones versus another so as to determine which zones are More developed than others. This will also help us to determine nigerian governors that are truly working interms of infrastructural development.

This thread is for educational purposes only and not a penile measuring contest.

If you're in support of such threads indicate by dropping your "likes "and those against should indicate by "shares".

Breakdown of cities versus cities
Southwest versus South East
South South versus North East
North West versus North Central.

Which kind wahala be this

What role did Bola Tinubu play in all of these?
At the very beginning, he was part of the Yar’Adua PF group from Jos. He was a senator then, and as far as the group went, we related. The crisis started post-election. When Abacha came, one of the things he wanted to do was to be the administrator for Lagos.
That is Tinubu?
Yes. I am sure you have seen pictures of him and my dad. He was hoping that there would be civilian administrators like we had under IBB but Abacha said no, that he was going to have military administrators. So he (Tinubu) said okay, in that case, can I be a deputy administrator? But Abacha said that there wouldn’t be deputies. Then he wanted the post of a commissioner.
He wanted to be a commissioner?
Yes. Then it was a choice between him and someone very close to Jakande who has passed on now. I can’t remember his name, but because Babagana was already in the government, that guy was picked as commissioner. But really, Senator Tinubu had lost out already.
Was Tinubu very close to MKO?
Yes, he was close enough. He and Adeniyi Adele, a very good guy, were close to my father. In fact, Adeniyi was closer to my father and more dedicated to the process than anyone of them. When my documentary comes out, you will see Tinubu’s take on issues. So once he lost out, automatically, he became a NADECO member and Adeniyi was incarcerated.
Was NADECO actually working for Abiola or for a different reason to just get the military out? We heard that, at a point, they just wanted to get the military out and were actually not fighting for MKO. We remember that there were reports that some of them didn’t actually want him out of prison, because what they would tell Abacha would be different from what they would tell the public. Did you have that kind of experience?
That is why I said that it was a collective conspiracy.

Do you think NADECO was actually working for Abiola?
Some were working for him. It is sort of like a pyramid. The bottom is used to feed the top; like a ponzi scheme. The bottom generates all the funds and comes all the way up and then they enjoy the loot. It is exactly the same process. In the process of taking the public sentiments of ‘oh, we want June 12’, they all appeared as if they were supporting MKO.
We heard some of the people the media celebrates today fed fat on the June 12 struggle. Don’t you feel sorry for the media when you read about such people because we really didn’t know what happened behind the scenes?

If you take the Yar’Adua group as an instance, which was the first lesson I learned, you never see their guys in the news. But you see all the PSP people all over the news, yet they could not win in their local governments. The Yar’Adua guys never spoke in the news but they were all very formidable in their own enclaves; they delivered on everything. If they tell you that they have 10 numbers, they will deliver on eight of that 10 for sure. See what happened in Lagos with Sarumi; those were the guys that were holding the horns of the bull. All the other guys were making noise in the media.

Buhari that has already collected from Nigerians already with his increase in vat and taxes.
