BIA! THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY.

THE gods CONSTANTLY WANT SOMETHING NEW.

THE ENTIRE YORUBA TRIBE WILL BE AN OFFER TOO GOOD FOR THE gods TO PASS IN PLACE OF THE HISTORICAL IGBOS INITIALLY OFFERED.

THE ONLY REASON WAS BECOS, WE HAD NOT DISCOVERED THE YORUBAS THAT FELL FROM THE gods AND CALL THEMSELVES DEMONS.

WE OFFER YORUBAS IN EXCHANGE FOR THEM.

THE gods WILL BE ELATED TO BE REUNITED WITH DEMONS THAT FELL FROM THE SKY.

FAMILY IN EXHANGE FOR OUR IGBO FAMILY TAKEN FROM US BY THE gods.

One thing people should understand about the Osu cast system is that it is only an issue when it comes to marriage.

Not every family will support their child marrying an Osu, for some others, it is not a problem.

The way I see it is that any family can reject marriage proposal for a wide range of reasons, be it Osu or not.

The Osu system is outdated and bad abd is fast dying out but it still exists to a small degree.

But I hasten to add that an Osu is never treated badly in Igbo land. People dont shun them or stop relating them. I have even dated an Osu.

The reason why families dont always like to give out their child to an Osu is because of the rule that if an Osu has a child for you, you automatically become an Osu your self.

May God forbid people like you that still support this poo. Mark today's date on your calendar; You MUST have an Osu person that'd prompt you, your favorite sibling, child...to DISOWN you even before you think of saying all these your jargons like a demented and backward traditional bigot!
I really pity people like you!
If you're a girl; you'll never find a loving and genuine hubby apart from someone from an Osu clan like you tagged them.
If you're a guy; Words can't express how sorry I am for you!
Smh.

What if I'm just a sexdoll?

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

On Sunday now u dis one will carry urself and go and be disturbing God in church. Let me tell u where it's root started, it is from an ignorant nonsensical so called tradition that should hv been done away with, with the advent of Christianity. Hypocrites everywhere msteeeeew

You wey dey go church on Sunday...

Are you aware that you are actually worshipping the sun God on Sunday?

Sunday = Sun day = Day of the sun = Day of the Sun God.

Sunday worships is a tradition borrowed from ancient Egypt.

Go to the catholic church and you will see the sun representation almost everywhere you turn

The halos on the heads of saints and other blessed people is a representation of the sun god.

The holy Eucharist or host which the officiating priest lifts up during concencration and all church members bow down to it is still part of the honour to the sun god.

What am I trying to say?

Yes, even your so called Christianity has deep pagan roots.

Dat is y we are in Nigeria, as a solution.

However, we will return to the deity and ask dem first if they like to be reunited with their family member here on earth.

We will tell dem, that we have located demons that fell from the sky and call themselves Yoruba demons.

We will only return their demon family member to them, in exchange for the Osu originally offered to them.

We will make a deal not to marry from the Yorubas in exchange.

Done!
u are a disgrace to 21st century
