This is just so sad. Even when the Osu's migrated in droves to the christian faith, they still get no reprieve

Disillusionment soon dampened their enthusiasm when it gradually became clear that even the Whiteman’s church was powerless to stop discriminatory treatment meted out to the minority osu population.

In spite of these accomplishments, the osu’s right to equal treatment remained unfulfilled because neither the Christian missionaries nor the sketchy colonial administration in place at the time could muster what it would take to dictate a needed change of attitude at the grassroots level.

look arnold,if you spam this thread again
I'll report you to the moderator.
Infact I'll do it now.
be warned
If you have deep tribal marks that bother and chase chics away you just say so and I'll sympathize instead of having your undies all up in a bunch.

[size=14pt]More on the Osu caste system in Igboland[/size]



One of the factors that enabled early Christian missionaries to establish a foothold quickly in the Igbo heartland was their promise to new converts that the new order would guarantee equality of rights and opportunities to everyone.

In most Igbo communities, the osu were the first group of converts to flock en masse into new churches and schools that mushroomed everywhere.

Disillusionment soon dampened their enthusiasm when it gradually became clear that even the Whiteman’s church was powerless to stop discriminatory treatment meted out to the minority osu population.

Osu pursued Western education in large numbers and many of them joined the new Christian mission as priests and school teachers. In spite of these accomplishments, the osu’s right to equal treatment remained unfulfilled because neither the Christian missionaries nor the sketchy colonial administration in place at the time could muster what it would take to dictate a needed change of attitude at the grassroots level.

Before too long, there was mass conversion to Christianity and this reduced osu converts to a minority, just like in the society at large. The majority, in spite of their acquiescence to widespread inculcation of new faith and Western education, never saw the urgency in undertaking a major transformation in Igbo sociocultural practices, particularly as regards discriminatory treatment that the osu continued to receive.

Nigerians and their archaic cultural beliefs. This Osu thing is so sad that it's hard to even comprehend

Do you think we don't know that Texcee and arnold are the same person?
back to topic.
Arnold can you tell us more of your marks please?

Gamine:

one of my cousins was given a huge mark on her left cheek.

i still don't know why, because this happened when i went to boarding school.

She had been living with us w/out a mark.

my grannie said smthing about her being too naughty

Anyways the effect right now will be extremely minute

Queenisha link=topic=152416.msg2534119#msg2534119:
Yes dear,have you had a chic with large tribal marks or will you?

Honestly, yes, I can date a chick with tribal marks.

HCH3COO:

why the lips closed.
I'm doing a study.
help me
If you saw a beautiful girl walking down the street and you used Okada topursue and catch up with her
Then you said,hello omoge and she turned around and you saw tribal marks
Will you pick race or get to know her as you had intended

HCH3COO:

Honestly, yes, I can date a chick with tribal marks.

Oh you modified your answer.
Do you have people with tribal marks in your family ?
Is that why they don't bother you as long as the person is agood person?

HCH3COO:

Good response. Queenisha just brought this topic up (again) due to her disgust for yorubas.

She is a lowlife tribalist. Pay her no attention.

Queenisha:

It's more like a preference to be open-minded. The lady in question has not commited any crime has she?

@ Queen

i wont date a guy with huge/extremely noticeable tribal marks.
i mean, you just dont see that around these days, Thank God!


my mum has tribal marks on both her cheeks
but they are horizontal and not too noticeable

i do feel somehow ryt now for teasing a guy in my sec sch
for having number 11 on his face, even though he was a prince
i said no one would date him.
i guess right now, he must hv dated enoff girls. . . .

Arnold1:

Damn!!!! You can count how many Yoruba guys you dated? You truly are a disgusting tribalist. _{just kidding}

Gamine:

@ Queen

That is the imperative phrase you just made there. IT IS NOT AROUND THESE DAYS !!!!!

And "Queen" knows this, but her hatred for the yoruba kind knows no bounds.

That's why she'll bring up a thread like this.

Nairaland can never be in peace and harmony with people like Queenisha lurking around.

Useless tribalist.

Seriously.

There are too many yoruba guys i know.

infact i have eyes only for yoruba guys

and i never see one wey get tribal marks sha. . .

Gamine:

abeg decent girls don't date every living man on campus.
mind yourself

see this quote from a Yoruba man.

Hi Everybody, My name is Micheal (back home i'm called Ishola). I have stayed in New York city for over 5 years now . Before then I was in Jamaica for 12 years.

The first 28 years of my life was one of extreme shyness and seclussion!, Why ? - Because I had 6 tribal marks on my face, 3 on each side. :trek

Today however, the story is diffrent. I had plastic sugery 2 years ago and Voila, my face is all smooth and fresh now !.

In case you are wondering about my sex, I am a very active MALE . My current hobbies are online shopping and travelling.

So Arnold start saving up
There's help if you need it rather than get angry.
You need knowledge and that's what I'm providing

I think he's (CH3COO) trying to imply thatit's usually prejudice people that count the "type" of people they know just to seem less prejudice to others

Like when you see white people who say "I'm not racist! I have 2 black friends!"

It's like why count them as that if it didnt matter to you?

Get it now?

Queenisha:

Arnold, what can you say to this?  It appears Queen dated this men irrespective of their tribe.

Thank God for surgery!
