Ctorch:Good thing if the people will abide by it. But I heard that those that abolish this won't also allow their children to marry one. Is this true? |

What do you miss most about your old life; that is, before you became a traditional ruler? Early, I started staying away from women. In fact, their lives pissed me off. I only had a girlfriend when I lived in Calabar (in Cross River State). I sat the Standard Six Certificate examination there. Calabar had a stadium where festivals were held and it also served as a cinema. She liked us to attend such festivals together. She would book for our tickets. When I came back to Nnewi, during my students’ union days, I ran into another one who requested money from me to buy a photo album. I told her I didn’t have money and the relationship ended there. So, in the real sense of it, I didn’t have a girlfriend the way people have girlfriends these days. I lived in Kano and had no girlfriend. All I did as a youth was to take care of myself, cook for myself and read. I had no business with women. Unfortunately, this generation is funny. Today’s men are milked dry by women. When you give them money, your energy and time, you are wasting and killing yourself gradually. That's some sort of wisdom wrapped insyd 6 Likes 1 Share |

Juliusmalema:Did you read where he said there were few kings back then? Majority of Igbo town and villages had no king. Each household was headed by a family head. No king 1 Like |

Patrioticman007: The people ought to have fight against this erroneous belief... Yet, they produce no of Christians, with no of Bishop, Fathers and Venerable in their midst. According to the Igwe narrative on how OSU caste came into existence was purely at man discretion not spiritual or deities incline. |

Osu cast system should be abolished, I met a wonderful girl and planned to marry her until she told me shes Osu... I cried bitterly, I can't marry her , if I marry her my kids also becomes Osu that's the annoying part. |

Juliusmalema: Don't mind them! Igbo love and cherish their Ezes, but he must love and cherish them too... otherwise say what say what? anything can happen. As for me the caste system is responsible for the backwardness of many igbo communities. Customs and Traditions that do not bring development, unity and general progress that one na custom? In my village have put my leg in their shoes and seen their pain. 3 Likes |

Abolishing the osu cast, does that abolish it in the mind of the people who seems to have hate engraved in their hearts eternally |

Juliusmalema: Don't reserve your comment as the caste be sincere to yourself. The ugwe is a man of honour from what I just read only a devil and useless human will hate fellow human and tagged them Osu. God created everyone and he never named or called anyone Osu. Air your view and put devil to shame reserving comment is not accepted on this particular thread. 1 Like |

I enjoyed the first hand information and undiluted history accounts of this great King. |
Re: Igwe Kenneth Orizu: Why I Abolished Osu Caste System by Nobody: 9:42pm On Nov 14, 2020 |
The Nri (Eri) priest-kings came from Bini, they were children of the Ogiso, the 'sky kings'. The Ogiso in turn were the illegitimate scions of Oduduwa (whom a lot of disrespectful Ibos on here are quick to refer to as the 'demon who fell fron the sky'. Oduduwa spawned the Ogiso dynasty during the short period he resided at Igodomigodo, while on exile from his throne at Ile-Ife. Ile-Ife the Source! Oonirisha the King of Kings! |

Juliusmalema:This is from Wikipedia. Nevertheless NRI never crowned Nnewi. Nnewi was actually the first Igbo clan to be lead by an obi. Nri was just the spiritual capital, nothing more |

OfoIgbo:That is a ballant lie. Nri was just the spiritual capital of Nri environs not Anaedo. It's like you haven't heard of Anaedo before. Nri never crowned anybody from the anaedo clan |

Juliusmalema:I don't know whether the guy knows that Nnewi has three Obi and Anaedo clan answers to nobody. Same with Umuachalla clan of Okija, Ihiala, Uli and Ihembosi. All these clans are lead by Obi and Okpala of which the most prominent takes the fourth title of ọzọ known as Igwe. Okija never fell to the whites |

ekusigo:Please tell me one community that practice the caste system and is backward? The caste system is of the mind and general acceptance. In real life, nobody will discourage you from marrying an osu if you insist just that your children will bear the burden of stigmatization. Once you marry osu, you and your entire generation becomes osu forever. By the way Osu was a thing of choice. They were cowards that devoted themselves to Oracle to protect them and nobody wants issues with oracles. Osu can only cease to exist when all the oracles and shrines they are devoted to confirmed impotent and cleared. Thank you 1 Like |

Juliusmalema:But still the influence of Nri cant be neglected. Akanri are being sent all the way to these areas those days to cleanse the land if abomination was commited especially cases of suicide and the ọzọ system is still a proof that all these dynasties were linked. It's still a pain that there history were written in what contemporary humans can't read. In truth Nri is to Ndigbo what Mecca is for Muslims |
