For those asking what is Osu cast system

Two things can make someone an Osu in Igbo land in the olden days.

1. If someone commit a crime that is regarded as an abomination and it is required that the person should be stoned to death and the person did not present himself to be killed but run inside the Oracle shrine to seek protection, the people that want to kill him will not enter the shrine to bring him out for killing because an Oracle shrine is a sacred place,but after that the person is own by that oracle and become an Osu.

2. If a person is a migrant that committed abomination in another place and run and seek refuse in another place, the community that granted him asylum and protection will regard him as Osu.

There is nothing like this in Anambra State, I don’t know of other eastern states. Imo state have refuse to move on with modern time and are bent on osu issues

See how they have turn the thread to Igbo bashing and hate speech against Igbos.

You will wonder what concerns an Igbo man with what is happening in Bayelsa. If Igbos cannot be cowed years back, I wonder what make them think they can achieve that now.

Igbos have voted APC to govern Imo state before, wonder while Bayelsa own can result to hating and insults on Igbos.

MetaPhysical:
Do you think APC love the prodigal and useless Yahaya Bello of Kogi?

Yahaya Bello is an APC endorsed candidate, all APC stakeholders are in support of him in Kogi but in Bayelsa it a different ⚽️.

The Lyon that won in Bayelsa just defected from PDP to APC last year. Are you sure he will not defect back to PDP after his swearing in.

It is like Izza Iyamu in Edo state that just defected from PDP to APC winning in Edo.

The problem with you is that you fail to understand scenarios, Dickson is not in good book in PDP, he run the election for his cousin he imposed against the wishes of GEJ and PDP elders that endorse Alaibe

Cherrybae:
I'm happy the SS does not play a regional politics unlike our neighbours from the other part of the Niger that play politics of ethnicity religion, sentiment, bitterness, hatred.

I hope our brothers learn from the SS.

The brothers from the other part of the Niger have voted APC governor in Imo state before. Stop hating

Kingsley10000:
Igbos/pdp/ipob miscreants should stay out of sniper this period

The mod them will not ban this empty head, what concerns Igbos with election in Bayelsa. Igbos have voted APC governor in Imo state before Bayelsa earlier. Stop your unnecessary unwarranted hate on Igbos.

Nawaoo which kind of voting pattern is : 83,043APC and PDP 874

See margin

But cup will be smelling urine urine after the pee

Osinbajo don suffer in the hand of this northern cabals.

Osinbajo don’t even know what is happening in Buhari government, they just leave him to be eating free food and receiving his salary and nothing more.

30 Million can only build a local hotel.

Standard hotel will cost about 50 million with moderate state of art facilities.

Mumu man, bring her come abroad she go fück all the white men and divorce you join, if you make any silly noise you go see your stupid ass in Nigeria after setting you up for deportation.

All those insulting Jonathan have gone mute, if Buhari like he can make a liter of fuel to sale at N1000 and nobody will say pim.

A bag of rice is approaching N30,000 while in GEJ time with N5000 you can buy a bag of good Rice.

watch how Buhari will run for third term and win using his northerners in all positions of power to win

I can see how some Yorubas are in pain, it is not Igbo man fault that Yoruba men don’t value their women rather they abandon their women running after Igbo women, Yoruba call Igbo girls all manner of names from olosho to hairy chest to yam leg but the same Yoruba man calling all this names will sale his father estate to marry Igbo girl.

@Legendhero instead of to be asking yourself who will marry excess abandoned youruba women you are ranting about change of names. There are enough Igbo ladies for all Igbo men that want to marry.

Omo this na planned work oooo. Kai

How many times my tecno phone done fall for ground and nothing do am? IPhone ain't worth the stress if it's that fragile ojarey

I phone screen is very fragile, I was surprised last week when my iPhone 6s fall on the ground, the screen break with several lines upon say it is having a protective cover. My Lg phone don fall for ground more than 100 times without protective cover, the phone screen still dey ok.

iPhone sha na the good Software na make them pass other phones, it can run with speed of light in heavy data and apps usage.

The problem in Nigeria is that many people are liars instead of them to tell the truth how they lost money they will be beating around the bush, some will say that they lost 150k or 250k,how did you lost that.
One thing is that a money in the bank can never be lost if another person did not have access to the person account details, but they will never tell the transaction they did and loose money.

Na so money dey take disappear from Bank just like that, na Multi billionaires like Dangote money never disappear from Bank finish.

I thought that this border closure is against ECOWAS rule,I thought that in ecowas member countries there is free movement of goods and services within the member states.

So they have been deceiving theirselves all this while in ECOWAS.

baralatie:
why was the capital moved from calabar to lagos and why was it moved from lokoja to calabar

Calabar and Lokoja was never a capital of independent Nigeria.

Stop misinformation, early white colonialist move locations briefly from lokoja to calabar and finally Lagos to suit their economic interests. The white colonial masters uses Lagos as capital of Nigeria for more than 70 years before Nigeria independent.

The the British where just moving capital as they conquer territory, Lagos was annexed from Bini empire that is ruling over it as Eko in 1861.

Bottom line is to buy a phone that you can afford. Better soup na money killing am. Last year I was using Lg2 mini and it was good, this year January I started using iPhone 6s, the lg mini become like children toy to me, I will give it out this December and 6s. Hoping to buy iPhone 8plus. You cannot compare techno N47000 with Huawei, Samsung phones that more expensive or iPhones.

gwarotango:
Ojukwu kept giving some unacceptable preconditions for food aid to be brought in to Biafra. He intended to use pictures of the starving children for propaganda purposes. There was no genocide on ibos

You are still lying, what make Cameroon to have better control of Bakkassi is because Gowon and Awolowo gave it to Cameroon so that they can block food supplies heading to Biafra. Cameroon troops occupy Bakassi till date.

gwarotango:
Actually I am 'trueing' until you provide evidence of such a genocide taking place

what Nigeria did against the civilians in Biafra is war crime. They block all food aids from international organizations from reaching refugee camps. In war there is an international corridor for food supplies and medicaments to reach the refugees.

Which evidence are you looking again, wasn’t Awolowo the architect that starve young children to death once said that what they did is part of the war game.

gwarotango:
Oga there was no genocide against Ibos what we had was a civil war where the ibo leadership failed to secure food for it's population. Respect to all those who lost their lives on both sides of the divide

You are lying , what Nigeria did against the Civilians in Biafra is war crime. They block all food aids from international organizations from reaching refugee camps. In war there is an international corridor for food supplies and medicaments to reach the refugees.

brightpre:
Delta State is not part of Biafra land.

Speak for yourself, if you are happy with the Fulani herdsmen northerners, your tribe in Delta State can go with them.

Nawaoo, things dey happen oo

Emilokoiyawon:
Guy nobody envies Igbos. Why? Because been Igbo does not innoculate you from the challenges of making a living in Nigeria. The average Nigerian (of all tribes) have to hustle to make a living. If you are not connected to politicians, if you are not a member of the ruling class, if your family is not already rich, or if you are not lucky to have one of those lucrative jobs (oil companies, top bank jobs etc.), if you are not a drug pusher or top level kidnapper, my brother, you have to hustle to make even 1 naira. That is the reality of been a Nigerian.

We are on the same page, what you said is the summary of the message I am trying to pass to the person saying that Igbos are slaves in Nigeria.

Nigerians are equal,all I see is hustle hustle, politics don’t put food on people table if not the northerners that have been ruling Nigeria for ages wouldn’t be the poorest region in Nigeria

Tflex01:
Nobody envy Igbos. It is a common talk among you guys just to cover your failures.

btw, what is your criteria for measuring "successful tribe"?

From Abuja to Lagos to Maiduguri they call the shot in life activities.Politics won’t put food on your table unless you are family member of a politician otherwise you will be Part of poor masses shouting that Vp Osinbajo and Gbaja is yorubaman why hunger dey wipe the person ass.

A Yoruba, Igbo or Hausa in government looting the treasury of Nigeria is doing so for his family, igbos that is fully engaged in something doing benefits more from Hausa man that is shopping government money.

Tflex01:
Igbos will never allow the Yorubas to concentrate and discuss this issue now with their mischievousness but will complain others are putting mouth in their own matter.

The way you shook mouth up and down for Igbo matter.

Tflex01:
So the slavery of the Igbos in Nigeria is forever??

What make the Igbos slaves in Nigeria , I guess Buhari Bad government is affecting only the Igbos.

Last I check Igbos are the most successful tribe in Nigeria which is the root cause of the envy against them.

Afonjas should forget Ilorin, it is very difficult for Fulani to surrender their conquered territory.

Kwara is now Fulani stronghold, you can’t imagine the numbers of Fulani herdsmen that would have settle in Kwara since Buhari came to power.
