President Nkrumah made it a criminal offence to stop discrimination
I thought ex-President Rawlings made it illegal and child abuse.
I like Wiyaala. Her explanations are on point. Appreciation comes when one is well informed. Thanks babe!
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!!!
I really love Wiyaala. I want to meet her one day. I love her language and I'd like to learn it
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 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 is identification, bot just a mark.
You should have traveled to show the different marking. Please
I love Africa and her culture
❤❤
Nice one

Thanks for the video I learned a lot here
Interesting content 👍🏽
