I Am 'Osu', My Girlfriend's Parents Rejected Me Because Of That - Man Reveals by PrettyCrystal: 6:21pm On Feb 14, 2018
A young man identified as Didi Mehn is in serious emotional pain and in a dilemma after being rejected by the family of his sweetheart. According to the man from Enugu state, his girlfriend's parents who initially accepted him changed their minds after discovering he's an OSU (outcast)...

The Osu caste system is an ancient practice in Igboland that discourages social interaction and marriage with a group of persons called Osu. Osu are the people dedicated to the gods; so they are regarded as slaves, strangers, outcasts and untouchables...

Read what the handsome man shared on Facebook in order to clear his confusion.

We so much Love ourselves....We've been together even in difficult times...I think she's d woman I would want to spend d rest of my Life with... She has already said yes to my marriage proposal but there's a problem....She's Amadi while am an Osu....

Her parents initially accepted me wholeheartedly but after investigations they made abt my family,,they discovered am an Osu n now they said that d relationship should end,,reason is cos they don't wanna give thier daughter to an Osu....

Am so confused right now,, pls what do I do

He should move on. Though I don't support this OSU stuff the issue is more spiritual and cultural than we think. As for those above saying that they'd marry anyone irrespective of his/her cultural inclination don't know anything.... How can you stop what you don't know it's root...... Better behave
