Osu is a term used by many parts of Igbo land to refer to a person who is the property of a deity either directly or through his ancestors who were also properties of a deity/Oracle. WAYS PEOPLE BECOME OSU 1. People become Osu when they run to a deity's shrine to seek for refuge from aggressors or pursuers or enemies who want to immediately kill them. Once they go to the deity for refuge, they declare their willingness to become the deity's property in return for refuge and protection by the deity. Once a person gives himself over to a deity as an Osu, NO Man dates harm them and whoever does will incur the wrath of that deity which owns the osu. 2. Another way a person becomes an Osu is if he or his ancestor was offered to a deity as a living sacrifice or gift. Once a person becomes an Osu, his decendants and properties automatically becomes the property of the deity and anybody who harms them will face the wrath of the deity. NB- Osu is different from Ohu/Oru. While Osu simply means a bondman of a deity, Ohu/Oru simply means a Slave. 2 Likes |

If Davido or Dangote son come to marry your sister, would your people say no?, even if they were Osu's.......one thing about this shit, is that the enemies will use this platform or opportunity to strike, knowing fully well that the people will believe it's OSU that caused whatever evil that happened to your family......bro be wise. |

I have some childhood friends that people refer to Osu family. And I feel for them and wish this Osu caste system can be eradicated but from what I have seen over the years they are still discriminated against . I wish I have the strength to site many examples I know of. I won't like to marry an Osu and none of my family members will do cos if you marry one now cos of love in the future when your kids are discriminated against especially when they want to settle down they will hate you so much especially when you are a none Osu but you are married to an Osu. |

TheSkyIsBlue:osu? In this century? Give her another husband, go and try relationship of just 3 and half years that you have invested in and someone should tell you osu that u should leave the girl, try it if u won't regret it... Please don't subject yourself under bondage which you are not subjected too |

Mindfulness: Are you looking at it sentimentally or based on facts? I don't understand your caste systems, but with the facts outlined here and from a previous thread, I can tell that there's no point in marrying such a person, whether you have billions or not, because the stigma will go onto unwilling family members who were born "free". Why subject them to that if not for selfish "love"? |

Op, I get you point. We cannot help the tradition we are born into. But listen. A few centuries back majority of people below the class of my family in pour patch of this world were basically our serfs. Not slaves but people served us various capacities. We were not allowed to marry them. We rather married from other tribes' royalty and aristocracy than marry our people of class. At some point our ancestor made a proclamation that there should be no more discrimination when it comes to marriage. This was both common sense and practicality. Our daughters were going into totally alien cultures far away in name of marrying into the right class and we were marrying women from faraway with no knowledge of our culture or mores. Now we are in the 21st century. The obis, igwes, Igbo socio-cultural groups and politicians need to look into this osu issue. |
