So these people still have outcasts, slaves and rejected among themselves and they have guts to talk rubbish about Yoruba land. If Igbo can outrightly do this to themselves I wonder what they will do to outsiders. I think it is getting clearer by the day what these people are up to. Nothing like free borns or outcasts in Yoruba. So far u can trace ur genesis, u can marry anyone and walk with ur shoulder high. Yoruba are truly blessed

What about the Abubaku that's buried with the king?

It's believed that when u sleep with an osu, u will start having bad luck as all ur good luck will be transferred to the osu.
I really don't believe in this.

Zico5:

Let me lecture u a little bit. I'm from cradle of Yoruba in ile-ife and from royal family where the current Ooni came from. The issue of Abobaku is as old as Bible and nothing like that from Yoruba land. If u are not sure u can pay a visit to Ile-ife today and see any elder from some prominent compounds, they will let u know the real story about the Abobaku u just mentioned. So stop spewing trash and face reality of how to abolish Osu 'outcasts' in ur region. Yoruba has rich history that no one can dispute. God bless

Just look at the rubbish this thing wrote. Defending and supporting burying a human being alive all in the name of culture yet this thing has the audacity to speak against Osu. I cannot believe this thing had the audacity to defend burying a person alive and worst elevating it as a "rich culture".

Imagine this nonsense. Even shamelessly mentioned the Bible. May God punish you there.

I know that's the way some of u are, u have no regard for anyone and can say anything cos u were not properly trained to do so. I have noticed this about some of u I have come across in life. some of ur parents have questions to answer from God. We are not trained to talk to fellow humans like this, so I put a stop to any utterance from u.

Fatherofdragons:
Good development

All these yorubers dancing around this thread with stupidity don't ever forget that your so called yoruber Moslems are always fighting against Christians, traditionalists even the masquerades sef. Just let that sink into your oblong heads.

For those of us that have forever been wondering, what OSU OUTCAST means, here you have it.....

The Osu caste system, which is prevalent in Anambra, Imo and some areas in Ebonyi states, discriminates against families which in the ancient times were dedicated to the local deities because human sacrifice was required to cleanse the land of abominations. The Osu were mostly slaves and other categories of persons considered as “inferior”, as opposed to those who were “freeborn” or “Nwadiala”. As outcasts, they were discriminated against and not accepted by the mainstream of society.

In spite of efforts by clerics, political leaders and social crusaders to consign this system to the dustbin of history it is still being stubbornly observed in many communities. In 1956, the Eastern Nigerian House of Assembly had passed a law abolishing it, but it was not implemented.

There is no reason for this caste system to remain in these modern times. Slavery was abolished long ago, and no human sacrifice is going on anywhere in Nigeria except as a criminal offence linked to some dark cults. The constitution of Nigeria declares every person free and equal before the law. All Nigerians are constitutionally entitled to fundamental human rights, which include the right to freedom from discrimination and the dignity of the human person.

To end the Osu and similar inhuman caste systems wherever they are being practiced in Nigeria requires a combination of cultural reforms, law enforcement and active sensitisation. Serious legal actions need to be taken against any form of discrimination and dehumanisation.

We call on traditional authorities and churches in Igboland to prevail on every community still practising the Osu caste system to abolish it.

SAY NO TO OSU CASTE SYSTEM and let us all live as brothers and sisters in peace.
#EndOsu
Thank you!

xpool:

You need another century of colonization to be Factory Reset, thereafter your brain would be Reconfigured to make you fit to be among humans.
If you refuse then, you should be airlifted and parachuted into the centre of SAMBISA FOREST to live where there is no OSU.

People like you should be banned from all social media and then be DISENFRANCHISED forever.

anambraamaka:

We igbos? You are pure anumanu for involving all igbos stoopid a5swipe

No be lie....

I know one community not even upto a 20, 000 population divided into two to form their own autonomous community

Osagyefo98:


Was she igbo before

IkonBee:


Yerrobaws should leave Igbos alone and face the new development that's ravaging the south wasste.

Dpharisee:


which reasonable person will go to such a community, do you have factories, university, 5 star hotels, double lane paved highways, tourist resort, pipe borne water, 24hrs electricity, chicken republic eatery in Ezioke Osu

Strikethem:
Spit on u

Dpharisee:


I taya for some stupid Igbos who continue to allow other tribes to continue to use this archaic abandoned system to keep dividing us, all Igbo youths here should move ahead, Osu is now a crime since 28 December

gr8tone:
Osu plenty on nairaland lol

Ikechu12:


One thing I despise about you things from the land of waste is how you lots parade your stupidity and ignorance as intelligence. slowpoke if you have no grasp of other culture keep your illiterate mouths shut. The Osu were never slaves to people. The Osu were the community and properties of the gods hence, created the discrimination as it stated no mere human is supposed to lay with them, marry them or do anything with them as they are properties of the gods. 3diot. At least they aren't burying a human being alive with una kings in your backwardness of olukumo or whatever the you things call that primitive culture you lots still engages nor are they eating their Obas organs after he dies. At least the Osu caste system is getting removed and most don't even know who is Osu or not and this is without anyone asking for it compared to you Afonjas where your own brethren is currently doing campaign begging you animals to stop your cannibalism of your dead Obas. Primitive things acting mighty.
