laudate:

Why not allow the people I mentioned to answer? cool Wetin concern you for inside? Or are they your relatives?

And why are you chanting the word 'testicles' all of a sudden? Are you okay? Or have you been deprived of the pleasure of seeing that part of the male anatomy for a while? Let us know o!

LOL.

Please check 'em for some "Marion Jones" steroids! No cheating please! cheesy



londoner:

I'm curious to know, have Osu always been seen as outcasts? Could it be that the stigma is a relic of the introduction of Christianity in Igboland, how come these people became considered cursed all of a sudden, was there a time when this was not so? I wonder if this is an Igbo belief one which emerged due to religion?

Look, the wnole thing is just a huge joke. Just like the killing of twins and Mary Slessor of the good old Nigerian history. Please do not even dig deeper. You will waste a lot of time trying to understand the "crock"!

If you read history books, The" so called Osus" quickly embraced Christianity and western education because here was a religion that told them they were equal to anyone in God's eyes.
Christianity actually helped the situation.

Re: Would You Marry An Osu? by davidif: 6:09pm On Jan 01, 2008
gosh what backward thinking! and you wonder why Nigerians would never progress, when a tribe within a tribe are being discriminatory to each other. Who ever said racism would end.
Re: Would You Marry An Osu? by davidif: 6:12pm On Jan 01, 2008
What a shame that practices like this still exist, and this are the same people complaining against white on black racism and you wonder why Nigeria isn't progressing when you have a tribe within a tribe discriminating against each other.
Re: Would You Marry An Osu? by chisomness(f): 8:00pm On Jan 01, 2008
Yes of course i will marry an Osu cool
Re: Would You Marry An Osu? by Godly: 1:23pm On Feb 08, 2008
Osu is an Igbo term for outcast. It was practiced years ago. it could be somebody that left the traditional god for christian religion, somebody that had intercourse with father, mother or any sibling etc Though it is very comon in Imo state!However, things have really change and we need to change with it except, you don't believe in change nor God. It is pure discrimination and a practice of no forgiveness! It is like HIV/AIDS discrimination or discrimination between the rich and the poor. i don't believe in it, guy, if you really believe your girl is a good thing to you, please go ahead and encourage others to.
Re: Would You Marry An Osu? by almondjoy(f): 4:04pm On Feb 08, 2008
This topic is really not worth discussing I swear! How it got to this stage just shows how jobless Nigerians can be!

Osu ma arse!
Re: Would You Marry An Osu? by augustluv(f): 6:42pm On Feb 16, 2008
As for me,i will not marry an OSU.
Re: Would You Marry An Osu? by amaechijay: 5:03pm On May 29, 2008
What sbucareer wrote abt the origin of Osu Caste system is true but I disagree with it not changing in 100 yrs.

lt is our duty as the enlightened generation to make the change by not going to do any sort of informal enquiry in the remote villages when one makes one's mind to marry a lady.

Just as we no longer allow our parents to make choices for us, we should also not allow remote customs to change for us as per our live partners.

Moreso, Osu has to do with our traditional religion which is worshipping idols so christianity has surpassed all these heathen mode of worship.

Whoever is cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ is a free born of the highest order and no one can condemn such a person.

I am a free born from a royal family but l totally disagree with this injustice called OSU Caste.
Re: Would You Marry An Osu? by LetThemSay: 7:14am On Jun 19, 2008
Same way some whites are not interested in Blacks (afterall they were slaves too). I think it's a backward way of thinking. If I truly love someone from OSU, I will definately marry them, I don't have time for rubbish, my happiness comes first, culture can tag behind.
Re: Would You Marry An Osu? by AdaobiIwu: 2:55pm On Feb 05, 2009
