Female Circumcision or Mutilation?

The practice of Female Circumcision or Mutilation in Nigeria and other parts of Africa is common. What seems to be the genesis, or believe behind this dreadful tradition?

Hi.
I believe it was originally done to stop women from straying - as they wouldn't enjoy sex anymore, so they wouldn't cheat on or leave their man. And I guess it's just carried on.
I think it's a horrible tradition that never should of started.

Unfortunately, Africans hold too tightly onto traditions. Even when it is clear that such tradition is nonesense. One tradition that I wish Africans would do away with is elders thinking they're wiser than somebody younger. When elders are talking, younger people are expected to be quiet. Does anybody think that is a smart? What if a young person has useful ideas to contribute?

I agree with alpacaem that female circumcision is a horrible practice. I think it'll fizzle out eventually as more and more people come to realise how despicable it is.
