The Osu Caste System is an ancient practice in Igboland that discourages social interaction and marriage with a group of people, referred to as Osu (outcasts). This is because they dedicate these Osu people to the Alusis (deities) and are thus seen as inferior to the Nwadiala (free-borns). This practice in IGBOLAND is actually a wicked tradition which is seen to be obnoxious..like it's very difficult to be abolished.... It contains every form of discrimination and abuse.... You can see the hidden facts and reasons why the OSU practice is difficult to be abolished.

Christmas celebrations are the custom of Christians all over the world. They have been celebrating this auspicious occasion on the 25th of December every year for Centuries. But the preparation for this advent season begins in the last week of Nov each year.

Exploring the influence of culture on personal development is a captivating journey. I highly recommend checking out Different Level's blog . They have fantastic articles about culture, delving into topics like the interplay between traditions and modernity, the role of language in shaping cultural identity, and more. It's a treasure trove of knowledge that might just spark some intriguing discussions here in The Culture Lounge!

The Osu caste system na one deep matter wey don dey Igboland for a very long time. E dey bring division and e dey breed discrimination amongst people wey suppose dey live as one community. The fact say some people dey seen as inferior because dem dedicate them to deities, na something wey dey pain heart well well.

One of the reasons wey this practice hard to abolish na because e don deep into the culture and traditions of the people. E don dey for centuries and e don become part of the social fabric of the communities. Change, especially one wey involve deep-rooted beliefs and practices, no dey easy to come by. E dey require plenty awareness, education, and the willingness of the people to let go of those old beliefs wey no longer serve the common good.

The consequences of marrying an Osu or being one can be very serious. Families and communities sometimes dey ostracize individuals involved, leading to social isolation. This kind stigma can affect people's mental health, their opportunities for marriage, and their place within the community.

The aftermath of marrying an Osu can extend beyond the couple to affect their children and future generations. This long-lasting impact dey make the practice even more difficult to challenge and change.

One major way forward na through continuous education and enlightenment campaigns. People need to understand the harm wey this kind discrimination dey cause and why e necessary to end am. Support from community leaders, the government, and influential figures within Igbo society na also crucial. They fit use their influence to advocate for change and to show by example say everyone deserves equal treatment and respect.

In addition, laws against discrimination and practices wey dey harm people's rights can help. But laws alone no fit do the work; na the hearts and minds of the people na im need to change.

To anyone wey dey advocate for the abolition of the Osu caste system, na important work una dey do. E go take time, patience, and persistence, but change dey possible. Society can evolve to become more inclusive and respectful of every individual's dignity.

Cc: Christistruth00, greetings to you. I was gonna post these two explosive video links above on a member of the Igodomigo family here and also quote you when I saw your mention a few minutes ago to the Dantata ancestry reply.

Enjoy the video, and please share it to as many folks as possible and also quickly download it on your laptop or any mobile device just in case the videos are pulled off YouTube.

The videos shed more light on why the Oba of Benin has falsely claimed to be the origin of Oduduwa instead of Ife. Usen's role in the coronation of any Oba of Benin was clearly stated by the Benin gentleman in the video.

Cheers.

@Aswani, greetings to you again. I promised you on the sports thread that hit the FP to share the link of the over 1 hour explosive video interview with the indigene of Usen who emphasized on the direct ancestral links between Usen and Benin to Ile Ife. It's the FIRST video in my post here. Just watch it to the end because the interview doesn't begin immediately but gradually gains momentum. I also have two other shorter explosive video links below the FIRST video from the Igodomigo Family YouTube channel here.

Enjoy the videos, and share with as many folks as possible and also download them directly on your laptop or any mobile device just in case the videos are pulled off YouTube.

The videos shed more light on why the Oba of Benin and his father had falsely claimed to Benin to be the origin of Oduduwa instead of Ife. Usen's role in the coronation of any Oba of Benin was clearly stated by the brilliant and well-spoken guest of Usen origin and the Benin gentleman in the videos.

Good Morning,

I am sorry to say this as you appear to be aknowledgeable person that I could have learnt a lot from.

The fact that you are referencing a certified ohionba's videos, and I have no intentions of mentioning his name, has put me off watching any of the videos you posted.

Absolutely no way can and should that person be referenced as a source of information. This is my own personal opinion sha.

Please if you are the said person in the video, desist from this path you are treading.

I assume you are originally of Bini-Edo descent based on your reactions here.

First off, I certainly am NOT the person in the video or even any of his guests that have appeared in his YT interviews. The Germany-based Benin dude who owns that Igodomigo Family YT channel has over 16,000 subscribers from all over the world!

I always like to separate the message from the messenger. In that first video of over 1 hour that was done over 3 years ago, he did use verbally abusive language against the Oba of Benin and his chiefs because he was being victimized and he to flee for Germany. However, I personally felt the verbal insults were annoyingly excessive and it put me off a bit because he didn't go straight to the point sometimes and would interject with insults towards the Oba as a result of his exasperation back then. However, in more recent videos of his (Murphy Egharevba) that were done in 2023 leading right up to 2024, his tendency to lash out angrily at the Oba and his palace chiefs had stopped. It was a distraction when he used to insult and speak angrily at the Oba of Benin for engaging in perceived INJUSTICE to him and others. He even clearly stated that the Oba had reached out to him on phone and appealed to him for a financial settlement running into millions of Naira which he said he bluntly rejected.

In any event, that first video interview had the guest who is originally of Usen origin who gave a breakdown of the historical relationship between Usen, Benin, and Ile Ife with massive evidence showing that Oranmiyan's older brother founded Usen. I will go with that angle of history. Also, they greet one another by saying DELAUHE because their ancestors came from Ife (Ufe or Uhe). All the chieftaincy titles used in Usen and Benin and all the deities of Ogun, Osun, Olokun were borrowed originally from Ife according to the gentleman from Usen. He even mentioned the full Yoruba meanings of those chieftaincy titles.

Several other advanced sources and interviews that I have in my archives going back to several decades of information (aside from these videos here) also point to massive alignments with the Usen and Ife account of historical events and ancestral ties.

In any event, since the very early 1980s, I have been reading more of Nigerian history from books and the historical archives, and when the Benin-Ile Ife ancestral quagmire erupted in 2004, the media was abuzz with the Benin and original Ife accounts of Oduduwa's presence in Ife which both contradicted one another. So, it should NOT come to you or anyone as a surprise that the global interest in KNOWING more about the true history and relationship between Ile Ife and Benin spiked up! Folks who have an interest in accurate or near-accurate world history all over the world have been concerned about getting the truth. People have that prerogative to ASK questions with an open mind while expecting CLEAR and valid answers NOT falsehoods, deflection of questions, and platitudes. Anything less than the best is a felony.

There's a popular maxim, "if you want answers, ASK questions."

I like the FACT that our convo here has been based on intellectual exchange and not rabid exchange of insults like some uninformed youngsters here like to engage in because they lack the intelligence and intellectual ability to engage in real-time conversations.

Enjoy your day.
