I love Africa and her culture
Wiyala is right about all the reasons she gave. But I think the major reason for tribal marking is for identification purposes originated from slavery days. To be able to identify each other when we get stolen or captured...
Wiyaala's information are educational and fascinating. You are also right. I made almost same comment as you, cos those days we were told that face markings were brought about by the slave masters to identify the slaves they own. I mention the time when Dr Kwame Nkrumah warned parents not to put any marks on their kids faces else they will be put in prison, so most of the hausas/moslems that lived in the south take their kids to the north to have the tribal marks on their faces.
Has nothing to do with slavery.
Thanks for the video I learned a lot here
I like her positive spin on the marks. The bottom line was it was designed to scar the face to discourage slave traders who did not want blemished persons which meant lower price.
Thanks for watching and also your opinion. Kindly share for others to learn
I enjoyed this. Amazing.
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you teacher ❤❤❤❤❤❤
You should have traveled to show the different marking. Please
I like Wiyaala. Her explanations are on point. Appreciation comes when one is well informed. Thanks babe!
The lady is beautiful and intelligent.❤
Very interesting program. Do more to bridge the culture gap between the North and South. We hardly know each other properly.
We'll like to know more from her. Kudos to both of you.
I really love Wiyaala. I want to meet her one day. I love her language and I'd like to learn it
Interesting content 👍🏽
❤❤
President Nkrumah made it a criminal offence to stop discrimination
Nice one
What is this👉marks
Some of the marks look like the Yoruba ones
It is identification, bot just a mark.
In Edo/Benin, Nigeria, it was not only an ID card, it was regarded as a passport! Dare nobody harm an Edo, especially with the Edo tribal marks! (As the American Passport of today). The reason none of the Edo people were sold into slavery! Fact, fact, fact!!!
Wow😮
I wouldnt call them tribal marks.
Although they may vary according to ethnic groups.
They are in fact scarification and in some instances cicatrisation.
Ali Mazrui explained the reason for them which differ.
One reason being to instil fear in the spirit of a child so that it fears rebirth. As peculiar as it may seem this would be deemed as an act done out of love as parents didnt want the pain of losing their child in times when infant mortality was high.
It’s tribal marks because when you see a person with the marks, it tells you what tribe they belong to. And no tribe uses the same marks.
