Rubish, my Uncle married an Igbo woman and still together waxing stronger,thex got 6 kids eldest 22 yo.

the warrior72:
The Osu thing has been abolished in igboland for a very long time, so stop peddling this ur unfounded rumour

Osu has been abolished in Igbo land by who? What have you been drinking?..where have you been?? Go and read some history on Micheal Okpara who purportedly "abolished" Osu and other caste system in Igbo land. I am not advocating that people should be treated differently but "it is what it is" when it comes to Osu in Igboland. Be mindful that the Igbos are not the only group of people with a caste system. Indians have a well established caste system worse than Igbos.

50calibre:

What Igbo culture are you talking about, is it the one of barbarism & savagery, all in the name of appeasing the gods?

You are a pagan right? If the chief priest asks you to bring the head of your child for a sacrifice to appease the gods, will you?

And can you tell me one prominent Igbo female figure from the pagan era

If you are calling your culture, one of barbaric savagery, then I can only pity you.

please dont embarass Igbos further.

I wish igbo royal fathers banish you from Igboland. wahala you are a disgrace.

Yes I am Pagan. My priest won't make such outlandish claims. It is not done in our religion. we only sacrifice small fowl and kola and other natural plant produce and alcohol.

Infact my priest won't even make any claims. He just does his job of looking after shrine duties as we have done for ages.


IF Igbos have not produced any woman ruler, then it is your own patrilineal ways of doing things, but dont blame it on religion.

Pagan religions are independant of customary law.

The rest of the Pagan world was already producing scores of female rulers.

Truckpusher: You can actually lie to everyone ,but certainly not to your heart because the very lie you tell people originates from your heart.

Go google up things and see the systemic application of your shameful culture,infact somebody in this thread actually said that she jokingly brought up the issue before her people and that she was seriously rebuked .

Denying the obvious is as shameless as those that carry out such barbaric acts in this 21st century.

Maybe, the problem is understanding what 'abolish' means. You can abolish human sacrifice and people in rural areas (not closely monitored by the authorities) will still carry on the practice.The osu system was outlawed a long time ago in the 1950s by the Eastern Nigeria government.

I understand that some communities in Imo still discrimate against descendants of osu, but in the larger part of Igboland, Osu simply doesn't exist. There is no such thing as Osu in my own town and in our neighbouring towns.

Why are we discussing osu on a thread about marriage, anyway?

Gudiza: [size=20pt]What kind of tribe prefers women of other tribe than their own? Rubbish thread.[/size]

GBAM!

IKR!


RUBBISH THREAD!


A tribe that prefers outside woman to its own tribe is not a tribe.

coogar:

why should i get upset of their backward reasoning? it's more like disappointment than anger. i have had plenty of babes cutting across all races & i can tell you each of them is a product of their environment.

an igbo chic raised in lagos would have the same character as a yoruba chic raised in lagos. promiscuity has no tribal code. bianca ojukwu is an igbo woman & she has several promiscuity charges hanging over her head.

Bianca Ojukwu again
The object of Yoruba obsession,I hear you

On this forum alone how many stories of Yoruba actresses having babies out of wedlock have we read?
How many of a woman trying to pin a bobo to her pregnancy
How many of doubtful paternity
How many of children emerging in their tens after the death of a man
You don't have to search deep
That scares Igbos
I am not saying such things are unheard of in Igboland but the degree is incomparable and it is heavily frowned at in our culture
A child born out of wedlock in Igboland belongs to the woman's family
It is a huge shame to that family
That is why illegitimate belle is hidden
But Yorubas flaunt it and announce it and throw parties to celebrate the arrival of the baby sired by a married man and born out of wedlock
A married Yoruba woman will wear asho ebi to the naming ceremony of her husband's mistress's baby and the man's people will be there eating jollof rice and dancing owanbe
That is an alien culture to us
That is one of the reasons our people are fearful of our girls marrying Yoruba men
Marriage means something different between the two groups

In Yorubaland a mistress with a baby automatically elevates to the status of wifehood,na lie?
Not so in Igboland
A mistress is hidden and the man does all he can to make sure no baby arrives ,because he doesn't want to shame his family
That is a huge cultural difference and many of our women have married Yoruba men who ended up with babies all around town down the road because it is their culture.his dad and uncles and grandpa did it freely.
It is not our accepted tradition

Shebi una wan hear the whole truth why Igbos don't like to marry Yoruba
Sorry if it hurts but that is the gospel truth
Your family dynamics are very complicated to Igbos

collynzo2: The Osu shît has been abolished in Igbo land decades ago, if it is still practiced in your village then you are in the overwhelming minority. Name your village where it is being practised let the whole world know, stop disgracing Igbos as a whole. Nonsense.

It is abolished in your own Igbo town until you go to marry or you want to become the Eze or take an Ozo title from your own village, not another village that will collect your money, give you a title that is valueless to them.

Tapout: Maybe b'cos once married, igbo women remain faithful 2 d end

na lie, i knw many dat flirt with different men

babyosisi: There is something in an Igbo man that makes him adore Igbo women
We understand them and they understand us
My two first bobos were Yoruba ( they were very good to me by the way) but when it came to marriage,I still preferred an Igbo man too.
Three times I had tried to matchmake some folks

ah i wonder why Governor Chime was not informed. From my experience Igbo men na dem sabi beat woman pass

lol. Like an Adenuga or some rich yoruba man will give a fug if his daughter was marrying Emeka anyaoku's son or . Wait! Emeka Anyaoku is married to a yoruba woman sef.

oh there is another one.

General Ike Nwachukwu is married to a yoruba woman too.

you all need to get out of this tribal funk! Dont you guys ever get tired?

Most exposed and wealthy people do not reason this way.

PAGAN 9JA:


It is BECAUSE you are Igbo that I cant take your word seriously, especially if you are christian. (you are christian yes?)


see the ignorance first-hand of many Igbos on this thread.

I have no need for religion.

Perhaps u know quite a lot about Maguzawa culture, but honestly you don't understand igbo culture. Definitely not the Osu system.

PAGAN 9JA:


Dude just shut up and stop making a f00l of yourself.

Im not saying people are not altered. However the way you generalize things, reeks of arrant ignorance.

western education was born out of religion?

LMfao! are you aware that the first forms of education as we know today in schools and universities, was basically started by the Pagan Greeks, Egyptians, Hindus, Chinese, etc.?

Are you also aware that the mathematical and scientific concepts we study today are derived from these sources?

Are you also aware that europe had largely abandoned your christianity in the last 50-60 yrs.

See again how ignorant you are and how you generalize?

How did you know I kill twins?

Are you aware that I am Hausa and not Kalabari ? (a small section of the Ijaws).

Are you aware that I follow Maguzanci religion?

This shows your ignorance.

You deemed my entire culture barbaric and human sacrifice just because it is of indigenous NIGERIAN background. You didnt even bother to know my culture and religion!

This shows what christianity has done to your brain and thinking. you have become narrow minded and BACKWARD.

you will never fit on the Global international scale. I hope you never leave Nigeria and stay in your village, because your narrowness will be an embarassment for us.


Its ok if my God lives under trees surrounded by its natural creations.

Atleast my God doesnt live under a concrete roof built by the hard earned money , sweat and blood of many innocent common men.

Like i said you lack basic comprehension ....i didn't profess Christianity neither did i say that i worship anything but in your drunken nature which is part of you and will always remain with you ,you have concluded.

The western countries were as backward as every other culture until the Romans colonized most of them thereby bringing them closer to knowledge/education that was acquired from the Middle east,North Africa,the Greeks and the far East and these education were all based on religion and these religions has always evolved from one form to another until Christianity came and dominated,accepted by the Byzantine empire by emperor Constantine ,spread across ancient Rome which became a uniting force to the West and it was based on this same religion that education and the age of enlightenment came to stay(go read up world history encyclopedia volume 12) though it had it's own ups and down in the hands of the Catholic church and papacy.

You can't take away the evolution of education from religion though right now science has gradually replaced religion.

So my friend this will be my last reply to your f0olish insinuations as i do not have the strength to unwind a messed-up fellow upstairs.....bye

thanks a million. That is how one ofe mmanu man deceived an igbo widow here. Now she hear wii.

ngozievergreen:
Igbo woman is the dream of most yorubas that can afford it.

Actually, this is true and has been so even as far back as the slave trade era. Igbo women have long been regarded as superior stock.

lorretta u: I was told that an osu is one who has been sacrificed to the gods (for one reason or another) or anyone who ran into a shrine for protection in case of danger or hot pursuit. Automatically becomes OSU,hence belongs to the gods and cannot mingle with free people,marry them or live with them
All his offspring is Osu and cannot relate to a free person (diala) even into the thousandth generation

Many igbos still practise this. My people can dig and dig into the past to make sure the bride or groom isn't of OSU lineage. Even The great grandchildren of the old OSUs aren't marriageable by free people. They believe it has grave consequences (barreness, death illness etc)

Me thinks *bladerdash*

perhaps this could be because yorubas adopted the western civilisation much more than the igbos. marriage is not slavery in the west. yorubas are doing whatever liberates them like you would find in other western countries.

it's the same everywhere - whether it's accepted or not is a different thing entirely. which yoruba family deliberately advises their daughter to get impregnated premaritally - your assertion is bordering on hyperbole, abeg.

the picture you have painted of your men is even embarrassing. that it's coming out of a woman is degrading. so mistresses are hidden? no wonder baby farms are littered everywhere in the east - so that's something to gloat about publicly? wow!!!!

osisi, you are doing your people a disservice with the things you are saying here. you are directly telling us your men are brutish chauvinistic pigs who would go at any length to hide their mistresses & their love-child.

abouzaid: thanks a million. That is how one ofe mmanu man deceived an igbo widow here. Now she hear wii.

Truth be told,Yoruba men are very romantic
If an igbo man and Yoruba man were chasing an Igbo girl,the Yoruba man will most likely sweep her off her feet
He will spoil her with money,Igbo men are more stingy ( frugal) but Yoruba man will give his whole profit to woo the woman and go borrowing to make her happy.
My brothers will do no such thing
They are good boyfriend material but that is where it ends
When marriage time comes,the girl had better face east for a more meaningful union
A Yoruba man is ready to sit at home after losing his job and be a house husband,he is allergic to hustling
He wants manna to fall from heaven from a federal ministry

adeyrule: Me too I want to knw ooo d reason ooo even my gf too s saying her mum won't allow her marry yoruba n I love her so much,no b say I no c yoruba lady marry oo bt I jus luv dat girl

If she really wants to marry you,she would

of course, the average yoruba man is more civilised & his persuasive game is more advanced than his igbo counterpart.

Some ppl have succeeded in derailing to the point that d thread is now about 'Osu' and the usual 'Igbo/Yoruba internet war'...
Back to topic..... The reason why igbos like to marry dere fellow tribesmen is d same reason y other tribes do it........ There's nufn special about it!... We have our own issues as other tribes do..

I just laid out the differences in our culture,the reason why Igbos are not very accepting of Yoruba spouses
The cultural differences are plenty
