In a post on X on Sunday, Toke Makinwa said she saw a beautiful beauty influencer with tribal marks, which made her reflect on the harm caused by the Nigerian culture.

She wrote, “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.”

An X user responded by saying that tattoos are just modernized tribal marks and told Toke Makinwa to “rest.”

She reiterated that marking children without their consent is wrong and expressed gratitude that the practice has been abolished.

Tattoos are a choice, marking a child without their consent is not the same. You rest, weirdo,” the media personality wrote.
