Spot on!

80% of Igbos are actually OSU. That's why they have flooded everywhere. I also learnt that the flatter their heads, the more likelihood they are OSU. Abeg is it true?

don't be acting like this when something isn't right you condemn it and make ways to better it, rather than live in denial just because you don't want others to make fun of you. this stuff is wrong if you were at the receiving end of it I don't think this would be your narrative, BTW I am not from either of the major ethnic groups in Nigeria so don't think this is an attack on the Igbo tradition.

I don't think she is normal.

Everyone who doesn't support your myopic reasoning is not normal. You are just so deeply uncivilised and enjoy living in your barbaric belief. What if you are one of the people being marginalized, would you have said this?

Tomorrow you will all shout Biafra and you expect the OSU people to be part of it . Biafra is not ready

Unconfirmed reports from Ile-Ife indicate that the designated person to be buried alive alongside the monarch, known traditionally as the Abobaku, took to his heels for dear life

You guys even do human ritual sacrifices is that a lie?
Earlier this month, the traditional authorities in Ile-Ife said that there will be no human sacrifice involved in the burial of Oba Sijuwade. Apparently, Oba Sijuwade abolished human sacrifices when he was still on the throne and was said to have appealed to the gods to help put a stop to human sacrifice, describing the act as barbaric, callous and inhuman.
Even you will travel out of your village if your king dies. If you don't travel your sisters will travel.

Now I know you are half educated, in what you posted, show me where it indicates a king.

Olodo. There is a complete difference between abobaku and OSU or ohu.

Abobaku is a title that anyone that wishes can take.He enjoys the luxury of life, he makes decisions too

If the king uses private jet, abobaku must use as well.

Anything the king enjoys, he must enjoy too.

He can marry any lady he desires, his children may discontinue if they do wish.

Abobaku is not imposed on anybody or a whole race, it is a wish of the individual and they even fight for it.

UNLIKE

OSU or ohu, where it is imposed and it still passed on to generation to come.

As you are now that you are a complete OSU, till the world ends, your generation will continue to be OSU.

Trash, no one is an osu because of anything. Imagine if they call you a monkey because you are not white will you like it.
The person has no basis for calling me a monkey because I'm black...there are are also white monkeys..lol
Besides if every black person was known as a monkey because monkeys are black, I will happily accept and be proud of it
People referred to as OSU are not OSU to me because they didn't reject themselves, their people rejected them..
But for someone to reject himself/herself by being proud to speak other people's language and not his/her own, is in every sense an OSU ...
In a nutshell.. An OSU to me is anyone who isn't proud of his origin...Period!

Worst still they collect their money and still talk trash! It's barbaric ought to be eradicated!

[/quote][quote author=Bkayyy post=93919424]When are going to talk about the dehumanization of women in the North ( women are properties in the North)?
When are we going to talk about the forced hijab and barqa dressing on women in the North?
When are we going to talk about allowing women to inherit land and including them in communal laws in the North?
When are we going to talk about the harassment of women wearing normal clothes by hisbah in the North?
When are we going to talk about segregating women in tiny room in the mosque?
When are we going to also talk about the segregation of Hausa bakwai and Hausa Banza (which is like the osu caste)?
When are we going to talk about not allowing an hausa man to be emir in his own land in Northern Nigeria?
When are we going to talk about forcefully prosecuting a Northerner in Sharia courts?
When are we going to talk about not allowing female yoruba monarchs to marry and give birth like queen Elizabeth?
When are we going to talk about the use of bobaku by yoruba Obas?
When are we going to talk about the use of human parts as traditional items in the West?
When are we going to talk about not allowing women own ancestral lands in the West ( not acquired lands)?
When are we going to talk about denying women their right to be emirs in the North?
When are we going to talk about denying women their rights to be Ooni of Ife and Alaafin of oyo?
When are we going to talk about not allowing women to be the Oba of Bini?
This is just to list a few.
But here we are, where everybody thinks the Igbo culture should be changed to accommodate western views while theirs should not be touched.
I only support changing customs that abuse human rights. But trying to demonize a tribe based on some side of their culture which seems weird to you is what I am against.
All African and the world's customs have bad sides, we should all work to mend those sides.



Do u wish to be born as one of them?�

Stop justifying rubbish

I strongly believe in traditions but I also strongly condemn the meaningless ones

Even the abobaku you're indirectly defending is very bad

Why will someone be buried alive whether it's voluntarily or not

It's evil
OSU and Abobaku are evil

True talk.
Our ancestors knew the stigma associated with slavery, that is why they rather die than allow themselves to be white slaves. E.g the Igbo landing in Virginia where they all commited suicide.
An Igbo man will rather die than allow himself to be enslaved because they believe that once you are enslaved, your soul and generation become enslaved. The same spirit is what you see in IPOB members, they see Nigeria as a slave camp so they rather die than be part of it
Why did Ojukwu ran away and came back to pledge one Nigeria to Buhari in Daura? Why is Nnamdi Kaun ran away just be seen with olosho in abroad. These examples are real definition of coward and slavery.
