As she walks she will be shouting, break and pay, break and pay

Why is the python not dancing in Borno?

Northern Governors don't spend their money fixing roads because the FG gives a lot of attention to them, it's roads in the South that are left to collapse making the people to suffer

Please it's Flavour, his SON and Daughters not Liberian singer, that boy is now officially a Nigerian citizen and indigene of Anambra state

Christopherrrr:
Since you are Igbo and Anambra to be precise, Bro I'll advice now never to throw caution in the air regarding issues like. You can only do away with it if your community doesn't regards such belief. Aside that, even if you are beyond this planet with your wife, your family down here will be victimized. Please endeavour to ask questions when the time comes. #MyAdvice.

Please free that good girl for matured Igbo men to find her, stop wasting her time since you are a core traditionalist and seem to have made up your mind not to marry her due to fear of the unknown.
You will be the one to lose unfortunately, but everyday you deceive her dimishes your person.
Tell her NOW, it may hurt but she will be fine. I wish I can reach such a damsel as you described and have a word with her and she will be engaged with a true lover soonest, because ezi nwanyi di uko

Buhari knew the order of seniority and had to rope in Onnoghen, and Ngwuta who was harrased and detained by DSS for corruption, he succeeded in eliminating Onnoghen and elevating Tanko Mohammed.
Not satisfied he now wants the order of seniority to be discarded and new justices appointed to preside over the case.
Las Las Buhari is a man of 'integrity' according to SW Muslims.

This case is already compromised, Atiku should try but should not spend too much as it may be an exercise in futility

I wonder how someone would feel after killing and dismembering someone.

The Saudi Arabia Prince Salman should be asked, he did same to journalist Kashoggi and he is the custodian of the Holy Mosques

Trutherme:
You are naive. ignorant and ill informed. I am not here to boast about poor families and rich families. Tell us about your rich family or shut up. You may not even be an Igbo person to begin with. Peter Obi's family will have serious issues marrying from an osu family. This has nothing to do with wealth or influence. Do your research well and stop writing rubbish.

Rich Igbos dont bother about Osu, their kids school abroad, get married over there and their parents will gather the Umunna and inform them and ask them what they want, how many cows, drinks etc and it ends there.
Poor Igbos go about talking about the now abolished Osu.
I am Igbo who knows what he is saying and from a prominent politically important Igbo family with interests across Nigeria and abroad.

I have studied the Osu thing and asked question and watched the trend and realised that its basically lovers from Poor backgrounds who fear what Umunna will say and are under the spell of Umunna control, no rich Igbo can be isolated over Osu they do their kids wedding at Government houses and international hotels. No umunna dictates to them

Trutherme:

This is sad and unfortunate bro. I feel for you and anyone who has been in love can relate to your predicament.
The Osu Caste system is still in place among the Igbo people and I honestly don't think it will go away anytime soon. Parents have killed themselves or died of heartbreak because their sons or daughters went ahead and married someone who is labelled an Osu. Those who went ahead and married each other end up with total excommunication from family members. The fact is that those who are telling you to go ahead and marry this girl will not live with you and feel all the pains after you marry her.

I had a similar experience but mine ended well. After I introduced my then girlfriend, the only thing my mom said was 'ok we shall see' After a couple of months, she told me that all was ok and that everything was ok. I was stunned to find out that they send my uncle to Imo state and he spend a whole day making inquiries and asking questions about my wife's family.

My advice is to bring this terrible news to your girlfriend. You may be surprised by her reaction because there may have been others before you.

You and OP are from POOR family, rich families do their thing in-house and don't send anyone to go and investigate OSU for them. They simply give Umunna money to buy 10 cows and celebrate their kids marriage in the village while they host the cremes of society in Hilton Abuja or Eko Lemeridien in Lagos.

Imagine Peter Obi telling Umunna to go and research if Air Peace CEO whose son wants to marry his daughter is OSU, it will never happen

OSU is for poor Igbo folks just like Almajiri is for poor Hausa folks.

Non Igbos here should take note of this about those still trying to propagate it.
I repeat checkout all the Igbos talking about abandoning the love of their lives because of Osu, they have one thing in common they are commoners from poor backgrounds

scaramucci:
That you have joined hands to perpetuate this terrible and unfair tradition is even more worrisome. You should be advocating for the abolition of this archaic tradition.

It's already abolished, read it here

My friend was in the same dilemma, he went ahead and married the girl, today she is the one taking care of them in old age. Their other children abandoned them to face only their families, so what would have been his parents faith now if he had listened to the nonsense back then.
Let the OP leave that girl now for a better man to spot her, OP is a weak mind and such a sweet lady as he described don't need his type to ruin their lives.
I am a progressive Igbo who is ready to protect that girl from small minds like OP.

Mrshizzy:
I don't have a problem with none igbos who have absolutely no idea about our traditions....as for the Igbo's here shouting that the op should damn the consequences, you all should know that there are traditions that are not binding on all Igbo people. Some are unique to a particular people among the Igbo's. If your own tradition is not against the OSU thing, then fine and good, you are free to marry one. But if your tradition forbids it, there is little you can do to stop it, because it is not a fight you can win easily. First you have to get everyone to agree to abolish it before you can proceed to marry one, definitely you won't marry first and start doing the fighting. I see a lot of people shouting I'm from anambara and we don't give a damn. Encouraging the OP to damn the consequences. This is coming from a people that can not damn the consequences and kill a python in most of their villages. I'm sure the Op can kill a python and damn the consequences.

Backward Igbo, we don't need your type in Igboland, we have abolished OSU and moved ahead, stop dragging us back. Obi of Onisha and other prominent Igbo traditional leaders gathered at Inri on December 28, 2018 and made a declaration that binds all Igbos

Squirrel01:
What's on paper is different from what's happening out there.

Poor people are the ones thinking like you currently in Igboland, rich Igbos just do there thing and send money to Umunna to tell them that their kids have gotten married, go outside and say their kid married OSU and see them deal with you mercilessly

UIA04:
You people are funny.

People who are pushing op won't suffer with him and his wife when the consequences come.

Don't you know people who are traditional to the core will DL anything to protect it.

They will fight them spiritually and physically. When a man and wife are supposed to be enjoying their marriage and growing rich they will be fighting family members.

Innocent children will suffer.

The family of the man will hate her so much.

In my opinion, long distance relationship no be relationship.

This is not romeo and Juliet, it's real life. If you can't live with the harsh consequences of your decisions bow out.


Love kor Love ni.

Rubbish OSU is dead in Igboland

Christopherrrr:
Nothing is absolutely wrong with me. Yes I have found love but the consequences are way far beyond me. It's not only gonna affect me alone but every other being from my father's loins. My parents will have a fair share of the consequences same is applicable to my siblings and every other person that involves themselves in a marital way with them. Honestly, I don't wish this for my worst enemy. Damning the consequences is easier said than done in this part of the world. To bad we ain't in the Western world where there is individualistic lifestyle.

OSU is officially banned in Igboland.

Christopherrrr:
Hello Nairalanders, greetings. My name is Christopher (pseudonym) from the Eastern part of the country, Imo State to be precise. I'm a man in his early 30's. I have an active account here but I had to sign-up for another account for this thread.
Please pardon my grammatical errors and blunders. MOD please help move to FP.

Few months back, I fell in love with a pretty lady with a beautiful soul. She is 28. Though we are running a long distance relationship but the current in the communication link can power Kanji Dam. Lol!! We can be on calls for hours since the very day I met her. There is a fair share of the feelings, affections, respect and regard for each other. It's not one-sided. Though we have been opportune to be together thrice since the past 10months we met. I have had plans to go about engagement and marriage arrangements this coming festive period though I haven't made this known to her.

She gives me joy, she gives me happiness, she prays for me, she blesses me. There is a part of me she unraveled that I never believed existed. Above all, she gives me peace of mind.

Fast forward to last month, I invited her to a family event. I introduced her to my family as my girlfriend. Instantly everyone fell in love with her. My mum was allover her and she was indeed up and doing. She didn't disappoint me. Not pretence, she has a good home training.

When she left same day after the event, my mum proclaimed her love for her. She said, "Olee ebe isi choota udi nwa nke a?" (Where did you find this kinda girl from?). This made me drop a tear of joy thereafter because I've always prayed for such from her any day I introduce a lady to her. This also happens to be my first time.

Fast forward again to 2weeks later, my dad requested I confirm her community and kindred properly because we happen to come from the same LGA. I didn't even know they have started making inquiries for me even before I asked them to. I confirmed from her and informed my dad. Only for them (my parents) to break the news to me days later that we can't marry from their kindred because they are regarded as Out-Casts (Osu-Cast System). Right now, I can't contend my heartbreak. I'm so devastated and confused.

This has been a long-term tradition that has been for centuries that I don't think it's in my capabilities to do away with it or do otherwise.

My problem now is how do I break the news to her for a breakup because we can't continue like this.

I have never ceased to love her less since the very day I learnt of this. In fact, she gives me reasons to love, cherish and adore her every single day. I still do that to the brim and don't have regrets. Quote me, her type is rare. I love this girl with every breath I take. I just cry myself to sleep every night after our long calls.

Please advise a brother because I'm in a deep state of dilemma.

OSU has been abolished in Igboland, on 28 Dec 2018 with a curse places on anyone who calls another Igbo OSU, all the Igbo traditional rulers participated.
Don't bring a curse on your family which can only be atoned with a sacrifice at Inri

I like this kind of argument, they are arguing about what they both did for their people in Anambra, can we have Orji Kaku, Theodore Orji and Kerosene Ikpeazu talk about they did for Abia State, they have nothing to show like Ngige and Obi

We saw part of that money being moved out of Tinubu house in bullion vans. The Cabal may decide to do another Onnoghen on Osinbajo if they get tired of him.

Las Las Buhari will reconcile with SS and Igbos and those regions may feel his impact positively soon, that's the way of the Fulani man, they have used the SW to achieve their aim and as far as I am concerned and know by virtue of living here in the North and what I hear, they are through with the SW.

Makes a lot of sense, that is with hope that the partners who got this qualities will remain committed to it

This is commendable, their presence kept hoodlums at bay. Tunji. Disu is not a quota system DCP, he understands leadership and motivation of subordinates. Kudos to the team

All Imo politicians are thieves

Idiot it's not Senator Hope Uzodinma

After extracting information from him you know what to do to keep him off the streets forever, no parole for serial killers, the one they released in America for good behaviour in prison after several years of incarceration still murdered another person even in his old age, the story was all over the internet.

He can't be rehabilitated, after all what the church did for him he went back to crime

She is as dumb as Buhari.

I feel like joining the campaign for Buhari Third term as a way of punishing Afonjas and those who repackaged him in the media.
Who is in on this

Afonjas now looking at Sowore " Omo Ijaw."

To Afonjarudeens his name is Omochukwu SontoWore

Kano is the real deal, let's see what the tribunal will do with all the open day thuggery we saw in the rerun. The rest of the states na jara
