This Photo was taken in the early to mid-80s at the time  I was a (White Boy) this is what we called the young men going over from boyz 2 Men in Oyotunji.

I believe the picture speaks for itself, but hear is a lil back story.

this particular year was the year I was supposed to receive my Marks of manhood .but I protested receiving the marks and went to my father and stated the following: “Baba I have done all of the things asked of me by the men’s society and you, I have hunted been a member of the militia completed my studies and for years helped to build the fences ,roads, homes and I have my own garden. I have done everything on the list ten times over and yet you are giving the same marks to some Elejo (tourist} whom just spent a weekend hear and from what I seen failed at half the task. Baba I don’t want the Marks”

Well, all I can say is I did not get chastised or punished and  to this day I proudly display my unmarked Arms.
