He should just carry on with life, he that went ahead to date a girl who's not OSU should not be disappointed cos it's a known fact which must showcase. The tradition is still very active not just in Nigeria but also in other countries. 2 Likes |

Mrkumareze:Just wondering,is this the way they would be treated if there was Biafra? Classless humans? I am just curious. I think someone should test our legal system with these unfair traditional practice by challenging it I'm court just like denial of female child the right to inherit their parent's property 6 Likes 1 Share |

PrettyCrystal:^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^ This thing will never go away in Iboland because they are very traditional in that part of Nigeria! A man that I know from Rivers State told me how his son's mother rejected his son's then lover who is an OSU or outcast, but his son was adamant in marrying her. They eventually got married against his mother's wish about 8 years ago. His wife and his son's lover are from Imo States. The worse form of tribalism is still being practiced in Iboland and it is very strong. You will hear some Ibo priests preaching against it but prevent their daughters or sons from marrying into the several families that have been tainted as outcasts. I saw an episode of Mo Abudu's Show that featured people who are tagged Osu about 10 years ago and these people were treated with disdain openly in their villages or communities. Anyone [a woman] that marries from another ethnic group into that family of Osus will also be tainted with the children. Coincidentally, I watched another program on AIT by Kambili Osadolor called Kambili 360 on a guy from a rich Nnewi family, and other people who are have been labelled as so-called osu. It was very saddening to watch those people talk about the social discrimination in Iboland. The ONLY thing that can STOP the practice of discrimination against these group of people who are tagged Osu in Iboland is if you line up all Ibos at GUNPOINT and FORCE all of the so-called "freeborn" and osu to marry one another and have children... blend them at gunpoint! 5 Likes 1 Share |

Osu is a caste system practiced in the olden days in Igboland where those who are dedicated to god are assumed to be untouchable, they serve the oracles and people are afraid to associate with them, people that committed crime that is punishable by death can run to oracle for protection and they become Osu and escape the punishment, slaves are also regarded as osu because they are segregated as not been the son of the soil, Osu in Igboland is now outdated and not in practice now. This case if it is true is a surprise. 16 Likes 1 Share |

As An Igbo man I am very ashamed of this practice. This for me is the worst and darkest part of Igbo culture I am classed as a free born or non-Osu or whatever you may call it but I feel like I remain in bondage until this useless practice is eradicated from our culture It is a culture of discrimination which all learned Igbo men and women must stand up against! 13 Likes 1 Share |
