Anyone in need of relocation should DM me......

That's what happens when you are too aggressive with little children. I am sure the maid didn't intend to kill the child

Exactly..... The maid definitely didn't know her actions will lead to the death of the child.

lucky you! i served or I'm serving in the west, precisely, and my stay there has changed my perception of the yorubas. Before i was posted to the west, infact, i desired to be posted to the west, but getting there the harsh treatment i and other non- yoruba corpers, especially the Igbos, have received is so terrible. I mean, their hatred for the igbos is so much, such that they may like you at first meeting but once you reveal that you are Igbo, they hate you immediately. serving in a yoruba village as an Igbo corper is terrible, i mean we came here to serve you guys, we are just corpers, why the hatred? they would treat other yoruba corpers better than you, finding every reason to discredit you, before you say I'm biased in my generalisation, i experienced this, from the motor park, to my PPA and even in the copers lodge where you see segregation between the yoruba and non yoruba corpers. Honestly i used to love the yorubas but my experience here has made me detest having anything to do with them. even the hausas are more welcoming and accomodating.

Sad truth....but it will never be admitted. I served in osun. My first movement as an adult to the west. My first experience started form ore self. Next was camp at ede. Then my ppa at laro middle school 2 okefia in Oshogbo. Didn't even know that we were referred to as ynamiri until I got to that school. I was teaching my students one day about career choices and told them that if they studied hard enough and pass their exams they will one day become a corpse member like I am. Then I asked if they would like to serve in the east and I got a resounding "NOOOOOO!!!". The thing shock me self. I asked why and some said they don't like the east, some said they would like to serve in Ogun or neighboring Yoruba states. I was wondering to myself how children less than 13yrs of age could get such ideas even without traveling to the east. Got to find out that most of their perception of the east comes from African magic(Note: they mostly watch African magic Yoruba in osun, the normal African magic is persived as Igbo channel). And there is this perception among them that every one outside west towards the east is Igbo, even amongst their learned ones. They refer to calabar and akwa ibom people as Igbo.

Learnt a lot from the west sha. My service year was cool.

personally where am from it was not practiced, so we don't have Osus... I'm from Ngwa. but that doesn't mean I should give mindless suggestions, am not stupid na... And don't plan on misleading some one..



Most of the Non Igbos here insulting igbos particularly the Yorubas, they stillnuse human heads and some cases live human being to bury their kings as well as much other evil things... I just no get anybody time sha... they can continue but the OP should be guided and not take decisions based on what some random person told him to do citing 'love' when I know it's not the love of God that doesn't change.

My advice to the Op is to look inwards and make an informed decision..... I personally can marry an OSU and it wouldn't be a problem cause my tradition doesn't forbid it. But it will be foolish of me to adhere to my own traditions and encourage another person to go against his. The hypocrisy on this topic is just crazy. The obi of Onitsha that someone mentioned above should first lead by example and marry one into his family, it's as simple as that. Most people here shouting damn the consequence, are from villages that are not bound by the tradition.

Dpharisee:


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

Smh.....I'm not in favour of the tradition, so no need for you to call me backward. I would also advocate for the obi of Onitsha to make a declaration that stops any consequences that will follow anyone who kills a python in his very own state. Charity they say begins at home. Or don't you think that tradition needs to be abolished too? And if the obi of Onitsha did not call every traditional ruler of the very clans that still practice the OSU thing, then what ever he did is an effort in futility.

henryobinna:
You have to realize that a sizeable majority of Nairalanders are kids, not just kids but uninformed kids, tho think education starts and ends in the class rooms.
That's why you'll see people urging the OP to damn whatever consequences if he 'loves' the girl. Consequences of something they themselves do not know jack about...
All I can do is wish him good luck, but one thing in life I believe is that, there are always better ones out there.
Good luck to him

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.

henryobinna:
what will the government or NGO really fight?

there's nothing ot be fought here.

the government or NGO won't force his parents and entire community to attend his wedding neither will they force his parents to bless them, not even force the family to accept the girl.

The guy can go on and do court wedding and church wedding if his church is cool with his parents not partaking in it. But traditionally, he and his family (plus kids) are not recognized... The father can refuse to let him into his house or anything concerning him, so what will the government and NGO do in such case?

Some of you who are none Igbos or do not have knowledge of the thing will just be giving advice uppn advice on a subject you lack information of. The truth is nobody can stop him from marrying the girl if he so wishes... At the same time nobody can force others to accept/recognise he and his marriage(family as well)... I don't know how marriages are done in other parts of Nigeria but in Igbo land, it goes beyond the few hours of ceremonies...


By the way, the Osu thing has spiritual repercussions, strangely enough nobody made mention of it here.

I will only advise the OP to go ahead if he's a devoted Christian(because of the spiritual repercussions) and if he's ready to damn the social consequences(family, community etc etc)


Other wise, just do what you know is right. By the way, marrying her sef right now based on her good conduct and love does not determine what she'll turn into tomorrow... people change... love changes.


Good luck with whatever decision you decide to go with

You just said it all, most people here don't really understand this OSU thing......if it were a cross you would carry alone, I doubt the tradition would have lasted this long. And the spiritual repercussions of a thing, no one mentioned that, just shows that most people commenting here are not informed. No NGO or government can solve this issue.

The real issue lies in the spiritual aspect......even with the strong hold of Christianity in Nigeria, traditional beliefs still hold sway.

Gozzzy:

gbam.... Umuduruehie particularly

I'm from ezeoke too, can't remember the last time i touched there tho.....

Gozzzy:

ignant:


Ok. I will. I'll probably do it in the diary section to minimise derailment.

I will shout you out when I start it, as special recognition to SweetP of NAF from back in the day (Yes, I saw you admit it in the sexuality section).

Mention me too

jchukwuebuka:

Drop your contact

What of C#?.....i've been on it for a while now. Would be a year by next month. Started out with python, then someone told me it a losely typed language, that I should start with a strongly typed language so it would be easier for me to learn others later. So I chose c#(mostly because I knew few people who already knew something about it and could instantly provide me with help and video tutorials) .

I've come to realize that experience still remains the best teacher....certain lessons will eventually have to be learnt the hard way....I can boldly tell you @op that if a well to do guy(and I mean a guy more handsome than you are, and financially stable) comes right now and starts asking her out and you are aware of it, you would start to realize certain feelings you never knew existed and would be more inclined to be protective. She on the other hand(considering her age) might realize that what she felt for you was born out of self pity considering all she has been through in life. As a guy, it's only normal that you would want to experience what it feels like to sleep with other girls, right now it's more about body count for you. Eventually, one day you will need commitment, trust and loyalty, but won't find it(a probability). The truth is, you won't get the answer to what you seek right here, this is one of those lessons that you would have to learn through experience cause only you will have to live with the consequences of what ever decision you make on the issue. We can only try to provide answers based on our own experience and or opinion which most certainly differ. That being said, my advice would be for you to give it time. Do not make hasty decisions. Try to grow in the relationship while you focus on your future. Let time decide. My opinion tho.

Ainidariji (Unforgivable) Guys needs to see this movie.

Amberon:
Oh please. It is you and all the other pastor worshippers debunking this need without even proper verification that are gullible.

Ruth Kadiri s never mentioned by Otobo. She is only furious because she is innocent, the others are obviously not.

Why didnt Daniella explain how she came about the car? Instead she spoke of her lawyers working on it, working on what exactly? Damage control.

. have you thought of the fact that she might be hiding something else or someone else as regards how the car came about, which might not be linked to the apostle? I'm not defending him tho. People do crazy things, we are just human.

immortalcrown:
