Yoruba Nollywood Actor, Ebun Oloyede popularly known as Olaiya Igwe,
has revealed that his only regret in life is his tribal marks.
Igwe made this known in an interview.
He said his biggest regret in life remains his parentsโ decision to
give him tribal mark, insisting that there is no need for parents to
give their children tribal marks.
“The only thing I regret is the tribal mark. Tribal mark is not a
culture. It is an uncivilized act. It is not a DNA, because as at that
time they believed it is Yoruba DNA. It is very easy to recognize one
another outside that you are from the same compound, but who told them
that I belong to their family or part of their family? It is only my
mother that can tell if I belong to the family or not. What if my
pregnancy belongs to her concubine, but she brought it to my father?
Which is very possible then, and there was nothing like DNA test to
check the true paternity of a child then.โ
