Culture Or Cruelty? Do We Still Need
Tribal Marks?

I feel sorry for most Nigerians expecially the Yorubas when i see their face battered with tribal marks all in the name of culture...

What's your view's about this.... I cant say no to this alone... I need your views...

Let's Have Your Say!

First to Comment e no easy.
Ok back to the matter i think culture.

Please this is brutal abuse unless done by consenting adults themselves on themselves. In as much as we need to retain our culture it need not be forced on innocent gullible children. They need to be allowed to reach 18yrs and then allowed to choose to look like wild cats or not

Cuture

Culture u say.... How can they be so cruel to come up with such idea... See that kid above I can hear his screens and feel his agony.... Now how will that beautiful baby boy look when he becomes a man.... Finding a mate becomes a problem.... Critics by friends and colleague's.. I hate this tribal idea..... What's your views guys..

Black and white lady? In any case I agree with you and disagree with these wannabe sellouts who don't value culture.

Don't say that again... Killing of twins was once a custom but it was wrong.... Just because our fathers practiced it does not mean its right for us too... This is a barbaric act ..... If those kids can talk won't they reject it....

If I hear culture?
...if Ūя̲̅ parents no kola (tribal mark) for ♈όϋ my dear na God... Just imagine Ūя̲̅ self waking up and seeing some lion claws tribal marks on Ūя̲̅ face!
God forbid I can't imagine it!

Hehehehehe Trade mark! Na wa ooo.

Forget culture,its simply cruelty to human.

Cruelty at its peak.....God save my parents say dem no think am towards my side sha, na uey dem for dey answer now....

I tire for them ooo you go see one fine bbe the face go dey pursue u parents their is god oooo

It's culture but could be modified. You are complaining because your face was not cut. If your face were cut with this tribal marks, what will you? We are just fortunate that ours were not, so stop complaining on those who were affected.
Cheers to people with tribal marks
My OP self, where did you c all these people with this marks?

It is cruel and I think they should stop doing this for children. If they want it when they grow up, then fine.

Wickedness+Ignorance=tribal marks in 21st century.

The 2nd guy is still cute.

....This is wickedness....dunno how a parent will sit down and turn his child's face to a wood piece..carving all sorts of lines on it...xo cruel

pray for dem to get over dis thing. Ur body shudnt b mar with such marks in d name of culture. it is scary 2 me.
