Like a lot of things in Black Panther, Killmonger’s scars too are derived from existing customs in Africa.

In the movie, the primary antagonist explains that he has one scar for each of his kills, but he doesn’t explain how.

There is a tribe in Papua New Guinea, the Chambri with a population of ~1000 people that is privy to a weird ritual. The Chambri believe that humans evolved from crocodiles, and the animal has a special place in their mythos. From this derives one of the most painful initiation rituals for young men - intentional scarification to resemble the skin of the water-beast.

A good read on the topic is Rituals of Manhood.

Frequently, when two of the initiates belong to different initiation moieties, they are scarified simultaneously, each by specialists belonging to the opposite moiety. Whenever possible, an equal number of initiates from each moiety should be scarified, for only then will each moiety's ancestral crocodile, who is understood to be responsible for “eating the backs of the initiates,” return to a peaceful sleep after the ceremonies are completed.
The process is quite painful.

To pay tribute to the creatures from which they evolved, the boys of the tribe are taken to a spirit house and kept there for six weeks before the initiation process happens.

Then tribal leaders make deep, 2cm-long incisions across the bodies of young males - ranging from ages 11 to 30 in some cases, according to National Geographic.

This excruciating process - which occasionally ends in death - is meant to demonstrate discipline, focus and dedication, and the only way the boys are allowed to numb the pain is by munching on a plant with healing qualities.

After this, the boys then stretch out in front of a fire so smoke can blow into the deep nicks, while clay and tree oil is inserted into the lesions to help them maintain their raised scale shape.
The scars are raised and kept that way by inserting a mix of “clay and tree oil” in them. It wouldn’t be far fetched to say that Killmonger did something similar.

And they are not the only ones to do this.
Don’t worry, Killmonger’s personal significance the ritual (as far as I know) is exclusively his own invention. Just to show how addicted to killing and murder he is.

PRETORIA - A pastor of the Soshanguve Church, End Times Disciples Ministries, has come under fire for allegedly using the unconventional methods of having congregation members strip and then stepping on them to preach.

Images that were posted to the church's Facebook page on Thursday went viral on social media and across the internet.

In the images, members of the church can be seen stripped down to their underwear and the pastor is seen stepping on some.

There is an image of a church member licking the pastor's boots and one of the pastor allegedly jumping on members of congregation.

In a caption for the image of the pastor jumping on members, it is implied the congregants felt no pain as God is with them.

The caption reads, "Total Demonstration of God's Power >No Pain felt in them, meaning God is with us. To God be the Glory

Buharia just came to siphon money and due to power hunger, without any vision and vision.

In as much as it is a civil case and not a criminal offence, it will be very difficult to recoup you fund back. Because the government will only tell him to pay you at his own pace, which can be lengthy.

Secondly, if you do not have any official evidence of payment to him, Bros just follow the guy jejeje dey collect the money at his own pace.

Finally if you have evidence or witness or if he is not denying receiving the money then;

1. make him sign something a sort of IOU
2 The signed agreement should include date of repayment
3. finally the signed document should also include a penalty if payment not completed on the exact date
4. If possible allow him fix the date of payment himself so as to exempt himself from any excuses.

No force can stop Dr Tony Okechukwu Nwoye from emerging the next governor of Anambra

Please I don't entertain childish blabbing, ok?

With every amount of respect and sincerity, Nigerians are amongst the highest group of cowards, no wonder Fela Kuti(may his soul rest in peace) sang about "suffering and smiling."

Some of this shit can't happen in some reasonable countries, but here no strong opposition, no demonstration, no unity even in our NLC, the other peer groups are after money, no revolution, no voice of the masses(only lone voices herd and there). Only what we have are fearful online and media analysts, cowards and other sycophants, and this is why the bad in Nigeria keeps expanding while the good things keep disappearing.

Our only saviour is our COLLECTIVE NO.

But with political and religious sentiments here and there, without our determined, conscious, resolute and collective efforts to stand up to things in this fuvking country, then our unborn children will have us to blame.

That must be his childhood best friend getting married. Subsequently he knows there long time friendship is now limited with boundaries

Let the truth be told, even God and satan has rejected Buhari.


He is a monumental disgrace to his generation and every thing that represent peace and progress.

I am not surprised i knew from adam what his illiterate and archaic type can do. His death will only bring joy, peace and progress once again to the country.

we cant wait for 2019, though 2019 looks like 20years ahead,
