I lived in Yari.ba land for a long time and no part of Nigeria had produced more bastards than Yari.ba land. This is a factual fact. Again, it seems you have issue with grammar.

Yorobastard:

Roger3D:
This is some real bad news. You mean to tell me hat after December 28 my nairaland osu friends LZAA and Immhotep will no longer be osus? This is unacceptable, in fact I will not take it

TimeMachine:
The Yorubas should follow the footsteps of the Igbos and end the lying down or kneeling down to 'greet Elders'. It is demeaning to equality of all Humans.

No human being deserves to be worshipped in the name of respect.

jafol:

My brother Ibo women like you when u get money or if she is getting too old and no one want to marry her. An ibo girl have a biafran mentality in her head so when she gets to yoruba family, her mission is to disrespect for biafra. That's y I want yorubalands educate their kids about biafra, cos these girls would do anything for u bit wait until u marry them, then they will start disrespecting yorubas starting from ur mother. They feel threatened . I feel sorry for Davido, i am waiting for that girl chioma to start misbehaving. Its in their blood. She is playing good girl until its official. I saw one of her instagram video recently when she is telling one of davido boys that " mi gbo yoruba, dont speak to me in yoruba, migbo yoruba" i was like really bitch? And this is the kind of girl davido wan marry. I just dey laugh.

Roger3D:

I hate IBO for dis and av sware nothing can make me marry them

oyatz:
Funny enough, if I tell you one thing, you won't believe it.

At the peak of IPOB wahala, I carried a personal unofficial survey in the South west and to my greatest surprise, only about 20% of Yoruba Youths under 25years have good understands of what Biafra is all about, more than half think Biafra means the civil war and some don't even know what Biafra is all together.

Virtually most Hausa youth don't even know what Biafra is.

Biafra is only well known to people from the S/East and some of the S/South.

Dpharisee:
Its a new dawn for Igbos, the land will be cleansed of the blood and wrongs done to Igbos in the past and atoned for, already there will be visitors and Igbo descendants from Jamaica, Cuba, USA, Haiti and other countries sold into slavery by forefathers coming to Nri which is the cradle of Igboland for this event.
Many Igbos have suffered because of this stupid practice which led them into marrying wrong partners after they were denied the love of their lives by their families or communities.

Some have suggested that a severe penalty must be imposed by the traditional rulers to deter jealous people, who will still hold on to it, because it is the consolation they have used to disparage those who are more beautiful and successful than them.

Just a little deviation, those who are referred to as Osu have the most beautiful ladies and men because they are descendants of the strongest and most handsome in the family who were sacrificed to serve the gods (the gods are given only the best) or sold into slavery to the white man who wanted only the strongest and most fit to work in his plantations in the New World. But thats not what this event is all about.

Sanchez01:

This makes sense. Unfortunately, the Osu Caste system isn't going away anytime soon, not even after the slated date.

The practice is somewhat dogmatic that some so-called religious people have not been able to drop it in the name of their fate.

Save there is a mass mind purge, so many families will still hold this 'tradition' dearly, particularly when it bothers around marriage and fellowship.

Paentera:


I once asked an Igbo colleague at work about her take on the OSU system and why it continues being practiced and from her explanation and all the curses she believes will befall any family that marries into another OSU family, I doubt this cleansing on December 28 will make much of a difference for the fact that the mindset developed by a cultural practice is far more difficult to eradicate than envisaged.

That day ehn, despite she being a staunch Catholic Christian, she was unable to see beyond her own nose that before God, an OSU is as equal to her. She recalled and backed up her belief with several incidences and stories that occurred simply because one of the persons involved is OSU. Nothing I said to counter this, including that God created us all equal before Him, could convince her.

I will ask her in the coming week and I can guess her response - she will never allow her only daughter to marry an OSU - cleansing or no cleansing. I can bet that this mindset is replicated across many homes of other Igbos more out of fear of the unknown (largely unjustified and unfounded).

To get rid of that mindset will take a LONG time - I reckon another 50 years to completely let go.

gudluckgreat:



May I ask you a question? Why did God clearly point out to Abraham to never let his descendants marry from the people of Cannan? Were those people created by the devil or is it to say that of all the people in the nations of Cannan, there can never be found a worthy maiden to marry?

Paentera:


In essence, the Bible which you quote but does not apply to 4/5 of the world's population that are non Christian is now absolute?
