Ndi ibo abeg help me out

seun you're such a clown. this question poses no significance for you because you aren't igbo

i think osus should marry out of the igbo tribe, so that their children will have less stigma attached to them and can now marry other igbos if they so wish. don't know if that will work tho

Meen, I wouldn't mind, but familiar folks would. Hey! I'ts still a serious issue in some (if not, most) parts of Igboland.

I think that would only work with their grandchildren or a tad beyond that.

If the poisons that Osus have in their blood doesn't affect non-Igbos, it probably doesn't affect Igbos either.

that thing needs to be stamped out, me for one l can marry anyone even an indian OSU. Tell why why can u go out and f.uk an OSU but cant marry them. Our forefathers were they stupid or just dumb?

Thank u seun u made a point there.
But u just deleted one of my threads on nude port harcourt babes, l only just joke say i go put the pics because u go dey sleep by then, l didnt and never intended to, you don dey use idiagbon style for this your site

@ seun, i didnt say anything about poisons affecting anyone. it is the stigma. if you being a yoruba man married an osu girl. ehen so? yoruba ppl dont care about that kind of thing, no one would stigmatize you or the girl or your children because it doesnt matter to them. but to a lot of ppl in igboland it really matters, because the whole family and resulting generations would be stigmatized, it is not a matter of if they dont poison you then they shouldnt poison igbos cos that is simply not true

even the advent of christianity and modernity has refused to change the mindset of these ppl, just like in india also, we may want to stamp it out, for what is left to do when ppl's hearts are hardened? simply wait for the old guard to die out, or be proactive and encourage osu to marry with other non-discriminating tribes perhaps up to the third or fourth generation and then be gradually reintergrated into the igbo society if one so wishes. it is simply a means of getting from route A to B by avoiding the great big obstacle in your way.

People still ask these questions in this day and age?

abi o, so the osu thingy still exists?na wa o

Osu? what is dat or who are those??

osu ? yes oh ! i will with immediate effect and alacrity , , especially if hes a fine assed, hunky one for that matter, i would prolly jump him!

wats an osu pls

if she has a pu*ssy i will marry her afterall pu*ssy na pu*ssy abi osu pu*ssy too dey?

So far is human if i like her no problem.

Can someone please tell me (and @aloib) what an osu is. Thanks

I know what an Osu is but I have never met one and even if I did, I wouldn't mind marrying them because I could care less. An Osu with money will become and insider in Igboland, nobody cares about those stuffs anymore man.

what is an OSU plssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss someon. anyone

Slaves to the Gods or something like that.
That was in the olden days.
But Today the are still like outcast by the igbos.
OK let me call it half outcast.

Thanks mamaput

So, how can one tell if someone is an Osu ? Through their last name OR other characteristics ?

@sbucareer

Thanks so much for the detail.

If you met an igbo lady in the UK, how would you know if she is an Osu or not ?

Thanks so much sbucareer.

May be the best thing would be for them to marry themselves OR other ethnic groups/nationals.

Is this what they end up doing ? _{since no one else wants to marry them}

@sbucareer

hmmmm, this is very enlightening.

I think the indians have something somewhat similar - a cast system.

Anyway, I won't blame any igbo that doesn't want to marry an Osu.

sbucareer:


It is next to death being osu in igbo land

Na waa ooh.

But do you see things ever changing, say in 100 years time ?

You become an osu by birth. If you marry one your children you have will be osu.
There is nothing like half osu.
If you start going out with them , many people will tell you that your date is an osu.

sbucareer if i marry one it dose not make me one only my kids.
what of if the marrage did not work out ?
I think people will want nothing to do with me because i with one.

Or am i one because i married one.?? i thought its in the blood

If someone doesn't want to marry you because of "what people will say" then he/she doesn't love you.
