grin

You were said to be one of the first traditional rulers in Igboland to abolish the Osu caste system, what challenges did you face that opposed the move at the time?

Nobody opposed the move. If there was any opposition, they didn’t come out to state it publicly. Till date, I’m still being commended for abolishing the caste system. I abolished the caste system because it didn’t have any value, in my opinion. In the old days, our people castigated them – those regarded as Osu. The story dates back to the old days when people found guilty of abominations were cast away to avoid the anger of deities. If any of such persons slept on the same mat with you, you became an Osu automatically. You would not sit on the same seat with them, otherwise you became an Osu. That was how they were treated and abhorred.

But with the advent of civilization, the practice became laughable, especially after the Agbedo was cleared which now became one of the largest markets in Anambra. Part of the forest was also meant for the Osu people. After the Nigerian Civil War in 1967, there was a dance Osu girls came out with. It was so attractive that after the dance, many of them were impregnated by the so-called non-Osu people because they were so beautiful. Not only that, these same beautiful women were branded Osu in the day, but at night, many people would go for them. I thought that was outright deception. I told my people that the deceit must stop. By the way, who did God create and call Osu? It was man-made. So, it was largely because of those beautiful women and the obnoxious conditions they were subjected to that made me abolish the caste system in Nnewi to enable them to freely marry. And shortly after the abolition, many of them started getting married. We don’t have any problem with that again in Nnewi. We are one.

This is the highest level of hypocrisy, imagine branding them Osu in the day and go after them in the night, your useless d!cks didn't tell you or have a strange feeling that it's Osu you were fücking. That's why I usually laugh at the hearing of these useless beliefs and traditions. These olden days people did abominable things.

Any serious lg chairman/woman would have done it with the help of the people( including you) a long time ago. They would have made it clear that it was discrimination that the fg wouldn't stand for it and penalties like withholding your LG budget could be instituted. It is a crime under Nigerian law.



I can commend you like an ordinary person, because if we were civil people, a group of people from all parties could have solved that archaic belief.


You just did an LGc and the state reps jobs. That is good but it is more so because they don't know their duties if it can't be transferred to their bank accounts.

The Igwe said that the Osu thing was laughable because people will call them Osu in the day but at night will sneak to sleep with them because they are so beautiful and irresistible. grin
How did the Osu beauty come about?
It came fro atm families sacrificing their most handsome and beautiful kids to serve the chief priests at the shrine and you cannot give the gods what is not standard to avoid their wrath. These selected people married themselves and passed on the gene of beauty, intelligence and strength of work

Let it be known to anyone that cares to know that this practice is strictly Anambra and Imo thing, other Igbos refuse to key in into it.
Incase you are wondering the people that practice it and where it originated.
