While I don't believe in holy labelling of earthly things,because no one is 100% sure of how God works, it is certain that there is time for everything! Ecclesiastics 3.

The post does not state whether the holy bread was sold or given free. May be it was his thanksgiving, forced or willful donations by the congregation. OP the story is incomplete. So let this people eat in peace. Thank you.

Since I'm not from the Yeast, I have to respect OP tradition and belief system. We from the Waste also have such similar barriers....ijebu person cannot marry Ondo person.... Abeokuta person is afraid of ijebu person... let's respect the tradition and landmark of our elders.

My Sister Is About To Commit A Serious Taboo All In The Name Of Marriage

Hello Nairalanders!

Please ignore any typographical or grammatical error. I just want to pour it out the way it is in my heart.

I am seriously confused and worried about what is happening in my family and I will appreciate your candid advice.

There is this guy my sister has been in a relationship with for over seven years now. so he actually asked her hand in marriage and decided to come see my parents for introduction, about some months ago. My family decided to take their time to find out more about the guys family background as is required in Igbo tradition.

After several questions asked, my family came to find out that the guy is an Osu (an outcast). On knowing this, everybody in my family told my sister to cut ties with him and discontinue the relationship because it is a big taboo to get married to an Osu in my place . If you do, no family member or friend will attend your wedding or even have anything to do with you again.

But my sister refused to listen to anybody claiming she really loves the guy, that they have been together for a very long time and that she is not getting younger anymore (mind you, she is in her early thirties). Everybody (my parents and extended family members) tried to talk her out of it but she still didn't listen.

After much pressure and her continues insistence, my dad decided to give them his blessings, although against his wish (my dad is actually not really deep into tradition). Now the guy has done all the traditional rights and paid for her dowry. Their wedding is coming up soon.

But the problem now is, according to tradition and from what I heard, if she was allowed to go with the guy without my dad giving them his blessings, the stigma would have just been on her and she alone would have been considered Osu, since she insisted to continue with the marriage. But now that my dad has given them his blessings, it is considered that all of us (her siblings) will also have that link of Osu too. Except if she decide to put an end to the relationship and discontinue with the wedding, which I don't think my sister is ready to do.

I am really worried and depressed about it, cause I don't want anything that will affect me tomorrow when I want to get married just because of my sister's mistakes.

I will really like to get opinions and sincere advice especially from those that are familiar with tradition, cause I'm seriously bothered. Thanks!

PreyingMantis:
I'm 100% sure you're reporting from the South-West. If that girl makes the mistake of going ahead with that marriage, it is over for the family. She has succeeded in dragging all of the family into the Osu Caste system. No matter how liberal and religious we try to be, the Osu Caste system isn't going away anytime soon. Marry an Osu and become an Osu. It is what it is
It won't go away, as long as people like you keep saying it, believing it and passing the negativity to innocent children, who will also become old men and women spreading the fear. Mental slavery!

McTobe:
allow your sister to follow her heart, you should be worried about yourself and not her. No human is lesser a human than the other. What is Osu, in birth all men are equal in death all men are alike. If I have my way I will donate towards their wedding.
Thank you. Please tell OP to reopen her Bible she brought from church, if she's a Christian o Galatians 3:28

CallMeDrino:
Award winning journalist, Joi John has slammed the outgoing Bayelsa State governor, Henry Dickson for ''sitting disrespectfully'' before two former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan.

Sharing a photo of Obasanjo, Jonathan and Dickson in a living room, Joi John (pictured above) wrote;

"Pictures speak a thousand words they say. Look at how Mr. Seriake Dickson of yesterday sat in front of two former Presidents of Nigeria. No atom of respect whatsoever.

“I’ve struggled to refrain myself from Dickson related posts. This one was hard to overlook.
Eku election, my dear Governor.

“Just hurry and start packing your load. Buffoon!"

Op before you call those people scammers you need to look at yourself in the mirror and ask what type of person agrees to such shady deals in the first place.

You are greedy and you just proved that under the right circumstance you are willing to short change your customers for more profit.If i had a business to do, you will be my last option.You were even willing to dabble into an area you have no business in just because of ojukokoro. you are a dishonest greedy fellow.
Easy Chief Judge! greed is a natural phenomenon! 'Self discipline' makes the difference.

What is the approved dance style in the Bible?
alBHAGDADI:
Where in the Bible did God tell you to worsyand praise him with Zanku and Gbe body e? This is how you people offer strange fires to God and get burnt to death in the process. Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron the priest, felt they were pleasing God when they offered a strange fire of incense which God never commanded them to do. Guess what happened? God consumed them with fire from above.

God has carefully laid how how we are to behave in his house. Doing what he never requested for or commanded is the same as offering strange fire which has consequences.

I 100% agree with everything you have written. African parents need to learn how to raise boys to see women as their partners and their equals. The whole post shows the op is very controlling and someone who sees himself as superior because he's of the male species ( I won't call him a man because he needs to grow up and become one).

You’re a control freak. She’s not your child!

Just listen to yourself and the words you’re saying.

You want to control her
You’re correcting her
You’re raising your voice at her
You get upset that she talks back at you.

Like she’s supposed to keep quiet like a child and listen to you talking condescendingly to her in the name of correction.
What are you correcting her about? What makes you think you know more than her and as such are in position to correct her.

You’re just upset that she isn’t accepting of your mansplaining.
What normal person looks for who to control?

I hope she sees the signs and leaves you before she ends up in a horrible marriage with someone looking for a subordinate, not a partner.

I wonder whose raising these prideful, egocentric boys who think they can come into a woman’s life and run the show. Oh I know.

Look as a biafran lemme say this
Only a greedy parent will charge u stupidly for marrying his daughter
Even chi that is talking,i'm sure her parents received a minimal bride price
U cannot copy a white man's life to the detriment of your own
Look at china,japan and india
All took the white man's tech yet their traditions remain till this day
Don't be deceived
In China and Japan its a choice for both families to decide who pays, the proceeds go to the couple. In India the woman pays and majority of the collection comes into the marriage of the newly weds. Nigeria's case in discourse here is centered on the exploitative schemes of some families.

If he hasn't, both of you are indulging in fornication.

He needs to pay and get the approval of your parents because you didn't birth and train yourself.

Your story corroborated hers sir! You guys are on exactly the same page! Summary, you wanted her to change the name on a property you just confirmed that she owns the lion share of to your name alone! Awwww...you are so smart!

Anyways, my understanding of the story as pulled from your story and hers says you were practically trying to defraud her!

1. She got the property (landed)
2. She did the paper works
3. She started building
4. You spent your own money on your parents's house
5. The remaining money, which you admitted isn't much was used to finish the house.
