Let me just mistakenly like an OSU lady and my parents tell me that they arent in support of me marrying her. That day dat day, I dey disown my parents.. angry

Because I am fed up of the way we Africans reason. How can you cal yourself a christian and still believe in OSU caste system.
That shows to say We aren't really a Christian. Just practicing religion

IS CEEC RIHANNA? OH I FORGOT, SHE IS IGBO AND IGBO ARE CELEBRITIES TO YORUBA.


ALL MANNERS OF AFFLICTION HAVE FOLLOWED THE ENTIRE YORUBA TRIBE BECOS OF THEIR UNCLEAN WAYS.

He is one of those who couldn't afford bride price, so he has to blame Yorubas for marrying
his fiancee. You will see him ranting uncontrollably, pity him, he is in deep pains.

You know I didn't think of that. That's probably what happened - the love of his life followed a yoruba.

this OSU thing is highly spiritual, for you young generation who don't know anything about it. tribes who don't have OSU in their place the spirit has no effect. put if u have OSU in your village please don't dear to marry them or add farm product to ur own farm. my mother had a female friend (her best friend) she married OSU , the spiritual problem the woman had was unspeakable till she died. she gave birthday to a child partially born less. A woman woman who was full of life and healthy before she married to the OSU family automatically became a product of perpetual sickness. the family had to initial her in the traditional rite for her to b an OSU. The one that really surprised my mother was when she joined her friends cocoyam with her own. although my grand father warned my mum not to do it she instead she will use fertilizer to improve her yield . she did her cultivation add fertilizer to her farm, wow every where was greenish and she was expecting bumper harvest. on the day of harvest , she uproot her cocoyam everything had no tuber in it. my mother was surprise she couldn't alter a word.
this world we see is a very deep place, nothing really has changed it still the same.
I believe in d supernatural!!!
But are they not Christians Can't Jesus save her? Or ur xtianity na tithe n offering
I believe having jesus abolished a lot of d evil attached to it... otherwise d OSU caste would have been more popular than now

Mr poster, (Didi Mehn) there is nothing like OSU caste in Enugu State. The version Enugu abhors is the OHU and not OSU as you posited. They both (OSU & OHU) suffer same fate which is segregation, but they ain't the same thing.

I empathize with you my brother......... I can understand your pains and confusion cos I av passed through that same route previously. It's not an easy war especially if you're the Ohu trying to marry Amadû lady. The last thing the parents will do is to allow that marriage to hold.

You need to read the story and testimony of the former deputy governor to Sullivan Chime, Onyebuchi Chukwu from Isiogbo Nara, and learn how to move on. If you can't fight it, just move on bro.

Your mistake is that you are limiting it to Yoruba.
If u were smart you'd say Igbos who marry non-Igbo are all osu. That way you'd make some sense.

Ehn? 3 classes?? shocked I thought there were just 2 groups - the "Osu," who are the outcasts, and the "Dialas," who are the freeborns. Who are the 3rd?

The "Oru" (plural - Orus), meaning "Slaves"

In Imo State, three classes of individuals exist. These are the “free born” (Diala), the enslaved outcasts (Osu, Ohu or Oru) and Ume (those prone-to-die).
https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/osu-caste-system-dead-myth-reality/amp/

I got wind of the Ume recently during a session at the office. I find it quite fascinating but haven't gotten sound materials to read on it.

Thanks for the info. sad But isn't it ridiculous that in this century where knowledge has increased, technology has abounded and innovation keeps unfolding almost on a daily basis, the minds of men are still so small that they scorn and discriminate against fellow human beings like themselves, based on archaic, superstitious, irrational beliefs??! shocked angry

Culture is dynamic for Christ's sake! We onced killed twins!

But this practise was put to a stop and we moved on. Why has the Igbo caste system persisted?

P.S: Quick fact; caste system is much worse in India.

Sad, but that's the reality. I am Osu and a Christian. It is surprising that fellow Christians still discriminate against our caste. The worse is the fact that very enlightened people still succumb to this age old belief!
Guy, don't let anyone define you or tag you with their archaic backward labels. Strive to be the best of every good thing, you can be. Living well is the best revenge! undecided The Churches and community leaders need to also rise against this caste system, and stamp it out! Yet, a lot of those who discriminate against their fellow human beings go to church, receive communion and claim to be good Christians. Bloody hypocrites! Wtf? shocked
