nnamdijonathan: The ones that were given to the deities were ohus and not osu. Those were the days of slavery... when a slave owner used his slave as sacrifice of some sort. Yes osu system started before the civil war and Christianity, a system whereby someone who devoted himself to a deity that isn't of the community. As Christianity came, it was then widened to cover all deities. This sort of popularised that system and increased the number of people considered as osu. Hence the reason I called out Christianity. |

adecz: Your last paragraph is a fat lie... I'm Igbo and I dine and sleep in the house of a lot of Ọsụ friends that I have... And my family knows about it. In all sincerity, the only thing I have been 'indirectly' warned against is marriage to an Osu. The warning wasn't from my father... But from my paternal grandmother, who is a core Igbo traditional religion member. And I believe most non osu's have been warned directly or indirectly against intermarriage... As for my maternal home, being good Christians with an Anglican Archdeacon(Priest) as the oldest man and several other priest as members of the extended family... They give no f*ck about the caste system... There are Atleast one of my mothers 2nd cousin who is married to an Osu. 1 Like |

Oyibo people could have easily dealt with it, the way they handled the killing of twin births. Meanwhile, i can detect Osu ppl (or ex Osu) 'liking' your post. I hope you are not one of them.. |

Africans and primitive life. Osu ko, fufu ni. My advice to all beautiful igbo girls being discriminated against as 'osu': look for a Yoruba guy to marry and live happily ever after. I'm Yoruba and available so don't hesitate to PM me. 1 Like |
