Media personality Toke Makinwa recently sparked a lively debate on social media when she shared her thoughts on tribal marks. After seeing a stunning influencer with tribal marks, Toke took to X to express her views on the practice. She emphasized that marking a child without their consent is cruel, although she acknowledged that parents in the past were not aware of the implications. Toke welcomed the fact that this tradition has largely been discontinued. She also shared a personal connection to the practice, recalling her grandmother's tribal marks and wondering how she coped with them at a young age.
In her words:
“Today I saw a beautiful beauty influencer with tribal marks and it made me think about the cruelty that culture brought upon us. Marking a child without his/her consent as a means of identification is Evil, I know our parents didn’t know any better but damnnnn!!!!
“Thank God it’s abolished now. My grandma had tribal marks too. Some on her face and her arms, I wonder what life was like when she was younger walking around with it, though I’m sure a lot of people around her had same but thank God it’s canceled now.”
