cheesy Osu is an igbo word that means an outcast, Evil Person, unwanted person, probably cursed people

Osu people are slaves of the native people they migrated to meet

Why did you come up with this?
Your curiousness may one day lead you to perdition. This topic is outrageous.

Well, Osu is an Igbo word and it means an outcast. Just like pariah in India.

Oru is Igbo word for slave.

Guy, find better topic jhor. These mods on Nairaland are Igbophobic and it a fact.

If they arent, this post shouldnt have been here.

Im still wondering why 5hey havent taken this down.

How can you collectively call a Nation Osu?

If Nigeria is fair you should be sued for your ignorance. Nonsense.
