Don't mind them. As for me, culture comes before religion any day any time. And that's because Jesus Christ himself said he didn't come to change the law but to fulfil it.

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?
In Imo State, three classes of individuals exist. These are the “free born” (Diala), the enslaved outcasts (Osu, Ohu or Oru) and Ume (those prone-to-die).
https://www.google.com.ng/amp/s/www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/osu-caste-system-dead-myth-reality/amp/

I got wind of the Ume recently during a session at the office. I find it quite fascinating but haven't gotten sound materials to read on it.

When the whites are racially stigmatizing the blacks in America and even in Europe, tell me please, how is it the fault of the black man that he is born black?

That's why they worked hard to correct it, not say it is their tradition. See the big difference?

please stay along together, your girl cannot let her parents decide who she want to be. I know remember a lady who was a Christian. A Christian lady dated and married a Muslim guy even though her dad was completely against her marry a Muslim. Today they are a very happy couple. Love knows no bound
it is not a case of religious.believed mi a free born would rather marry a Muslim than an outcast.d issue is damn too spiritual to dive into.so it is not a case of marginalisation or what your parents want

This Osu stuff is proof that some traditions are pure madness. A politician steals in broad daylight and is adulated. While here is a man being stigmatized for something he has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with!!

There is nobody stigmatized here. Same way a Pentecistal cannot marry Catholic or a Jew marry a Moslem but they can be friends and do everything together.

See ignorance. Which "spirituality". How about other equally wicked traditions that have been abolished? It is this confused mentality that keep people chained to idiotic traditions.

See arrant ignorance. Comparing apples and oranges. There are Jews married to moslems, etc. Nothing follows their children. Know the difference.

He is one of those who couldn't afford bride price, so he has to blame Yorubas for marrying
his fiancee. You will see him ranting uncontrollably, pity him, he is in deep pains.
