[s]Note this:
Before getting married to anyone, those that must give you their consent are;

1. you pastor or spiritual leader[/s]
2. parents
3. siblings
4. closest friends


If your parents don't concur, persist, if they don't accept, proceed with arrangements (low key), they will have a rethink, if they don't, then it becomes obvious that your happiness means nothing to them

The OSU thing is really big issue, since she made this comment " She told me she rather dies than not marry him"
So what else ?

For me, whether OSU or not, that and many other things are just fetish beliefs. Maybe the parents of the lady are not even believers of modern day Christianity or Islam because if they are, they would conclude as I have done that there is no heck with that and they will allow their children live in matrimony.


The lady should go ahead and continue with her wedding plans.
This is way more serious than you realise. If you have Igbo friends, ask them. It's not about being Christian or not - they fear social rejection if they let their daughter marry an Osu. Not even a bishop would risk it.

A female friend of mine brought up an issue that have been bothering her so much she said that she needs an urgent advice on what to do. Here's her story
She met a guy last year in a friend's get together party and they both fell for each other. According to her story the guy works with an insurance company in Lagos and my friend was about to go for her NYSC when they both met. So because of the heated romance between them, she decided to work her NYSC posting to Lagos state. During her service year the guy proposed to her and she accepted. So they both went for family introduction. Few months after her introduction, her father called her and told her that she should come home that there's something urgent he wants to tell her. When she traveled back home, her dad told her that the have done some investigation into the guy's Family and the discovered that the guy is an OSU ( meaning outcast in Igbo land) and their village still practice the osu caste system. So the implication there is the both can't get married. And if she insist in getting married to him that her family will not be part of it, literally she's on her own with the guy, she's so heart broken now because she loves her family and she told me she can't imagine her world without him. And more so she's few weeks pregnant for him and the have started making plans for their wedding. How can she break this news to her fiancee?!!.. She told me she rather dies than not marry him.



Please I would appreciate matured advice only because this is really a sensitive issue that involves tradition and beliefs, no attacking of any personality or ethnic group. it can happen to anyone out there. Thanks
Well, it's her decision to make. She needs to consider the consequences of whatever she decides to do and ask herself if she can live with it. If she marries him her children will be deemed outcasts forever. Is she the type of person who can handle that prospect, can handle social rejection? If she can, kudos to her because we need people to blaze the trail and break this Osu caste thing.

I pity her. She has to marry d guy cus she is fews gone. She should go with a pastor and tell her parents she is expecting this guy's baby. There is nothing wrong with the guy's family is dat OSU thing still in existence? Some families sha na wa oh see digging into one's past! Pls both parties should go for deliverance and marry. She can't die for no reason and can't marry sm1 she doesn't love not marrying the person u love affects marriages except the holy spirit helps u.

Someone clearly did a piss poor job in the initial investigations, now they've gone as far as doing the introduction. Well in my opinion, family comes first

them dey write osu for face? After introduction her family investigated the guys family and made their discovery.. Maybe the guy ain't aware that he's an OSU. OSU is discovered by investigation especially when marriage is involved
Shouldn't investigation come before introduction? Why will I go for introduction without knowing first the family I want to marry from?

Very easy to give advise. If you have not experience it, you won't know. Try and follow your mind. Nobody will go through it with her even you as a friend. Its easier said than done. The pregnancy makes it complicated. Let her seek the Lord with a sincere heart.

Your tales by moonlight get K Leg, during the course of dating she didn't know he's an Osu, also, till the point they went for the introduction. So at the introduction, what were they discussing? Fuel subsidy or Dasukigate?
I wonder oh! And that's months after the introduction. Shouldn't investigation come before introduction? All this quick quick marriage mentality.

Nigeria traditional belief sha..the last time I came across the word OSU was when I am preparing to write jamb...if you read the Potter's wheel you will know what am saying...thought it was fiction...not until now..My advice for the lady is to meet their spiritual leader either Alfa or pastor explain what is on ground and what is at stake..so that he/she can solve the problem and let the parent knows that we are no more in Stone age...

Marrying an Osu in a society that practice cast is like two people with AS genotype marrying. Because they will eventually produce offspring that would be discriminated against. Dont allow your children to hate you for bringing them to the world.

Am not Igbo so I don't know the far reaching implications. The truth remains that we rant over things that shud be taken seriously. Am a christian but I avoid totems and taboos especially those from my parents. Pple go to quiet places to carry out fasting. If U ask people ranting to go to cementry to carry out a three day fast, I bet U nobody will consent.
If a particular traditional believe is still active then it's better to avoid marrying a mad woman than trying to cast out the demon from your spouse

Osu didn't prevent the Guy from having a job.

Osu didn't prevent the guy from impregnating her.

Osu didn't prevent the guy from having an education

Osu didn't prevent him for being a Christian

Osu will not prevent him from marrying and accomplishing his life's dream.


It's the lady's parent Osu caste is preventing from having common sense.
So true. But, unfortunately, it's not just the parents but the entire clan, village, and community. What we have here is that some ancient priests who thought the sun rose out of the river in the morning are still controlling supposedly learned and free people from their graves.

OP pls tell her to calm down, this is not the first time of hearing things like this. She needs to be prayerful, and try to tell her fiance and let's hear his thoughts about it. All will be well, and concerning the threats of killing herself, she should remove those thoughts from her mind. She won't die but live, everything will be fine.

is hard to convince the parents as regards issues like this cus it goes beyond the family and it extends to the relatives and kinsmen.

if she goes ahead with the marriage, she will be cast out and won't be allowed to associate with the family.that's the problem here.

so is more or less like having two AS genotype couple getting married...they can go ahead getting married but the stigma will still be there and will continue
