If he's tribe has rejected him then he should move on and reject them.
Marry from some other tribe and get his children embedded more in that tribe.

THEY HAVE ALL HEADED TO YORUBA AND WE WILL NOT HESITATE TO PROSCRIBE YORUBA FROM COMING TO IGBOS FOR MARRIAGE.

ANY IGBO FAMILY THAT DARES MARRY ANY OF THEIR CHILDREN TO YORUBA WILL BE CONDEMN AND REFERED TO AS OSU OPENLY.

IT TAKES ONE MEETING AND ONE ANNOUNCEMENT TO ACCOMPLISH THAT AND BELIEVE ME, MY PEOPLE WILL FLEE FROM YORUBAS LIKE THE PLAGUE.

He should move on. Though I don't support this OSU stuff the issue is more spiritual and cultural than we think. As for those above saying that they'd marry anyone irrespective of his/her cultural inclination don't know anything.... How can you stop what you don't know it's root...... Better behave

It's our tradition.

It was already in place before we came on board.

It will still be there when we are gone.

If you want to stop it then you must go back several years in time to find out why our fore fore forefathers even started it in the first place

Don't be overly deceived by the white man's borrowed tradition

What do you expect? shocked Many of them live in denial. sad They will act like an ostrich and bury their heads in the sand, thinking it will go away, instead of taking firm steps to address it. They are quick to spot the flaws in other cultures, but always sly enough to cover the defects inherent in their own.
I think it is sickening and hypocritical because Igbos are culturally inclined and judgemental St the same time. You deny people the joy of being with themselves simply because some criminal elements among you call a fellow human slave and unworthy of social interaction with his peers because the others are freeborn.

You need to have a friend who is affected directly before you would understand the horror of this horrible practice.

Social interactions between the three classes of people in Igboland is still very much alive, as much as they would want to claim that they have evolved and outgrown these practices.

this OSU thing is highly spiritual, for you young generation who don't know anything about it. tribes who don't have OSU in their place the spirit has no effect. put if u have OSU in your village please don't dear to marry them or add farm product to ur own farm. my mother had a female friend (her best friend) she married OSU , the spiritual problem the woman had was unspeakable till she died. she gave birthday to a child partially born less. A woman woman who was full of life and healthy before she married to the OSU family automatically became a product of perpetual sickness. the family had to initial her in the traditional rite for her to b an OSU. The one that really surprised my mother was when she joined her friends cocoyam with her own. although my grand father warned my mum not to do it she instead she will use fertilizer to improve her yield . she did her cultivation add fertilizer to her farm, wow every where was greenish and she was expecting bumper harvest. on the day of harvest , she uproot her cocoyam everything had no tuber in it. my mother was surprise she couldn't alter a word.
this world we see is a very deep place, nothing really has changed it still the same.

OSU HAVE BEEN THERE BEFORE I WAS BORN AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE THERE.

WE DONT HAVE TO MAKE LEGISLATION, IT IS SELF REGULATORY.

WE WILL MAKE ANNOUNCEMENT AS WITH REGARDS THE OSU YORUBAS AND BAN THEM FROM SPREADING THEIR OSU TO US IGBOS THROUGH MARRIAGE.

DAT IS BAN YORUBA FROM COMING TO MARRY IGBO OR IN IGBO LAND.

ANYBODY THAT GIVES OUT THEIR CHILDREN TO YORUBA WILL BE CONDEMN AS OSU.

Ehn? 3 classes?? shocked I thought there were just 2 groups - the "Osu," who are the outcasts, and the "Dialas," who are the freeborns. Who are the 3rd?

Because I am fed up of the way we Africans reason. How can you cal yourself a christian and still believe in OSU caste system.
Culture comes before religion any day, any time. You can decide not to be a Christian today, but you can never stop been your language. Jesus Christ said he didn't come to change the law but to fulfil it. Islam and the Koran are inclined with the Arabian culture. Am a practicing Christian, but my culture comes first before my religion any day, any time. But that doesn't mean I'm in support of the osu bull crap sha.
