5*The self acclaimed diala, abuses the Osu secretly on daily bases. Calling them animals,fake human, filty,spitting at the sight of one etc.
See I really love my people, I want the best for them. I can't sue anyone for violation on my right, since they had chosen to defraud me of my money on a silly evil practice they call Osu, rather I have chosen this medium to bring to light evil perpetrated to man by man, hoping the world sees this and taking drastic step towards ensuring this evil is brought to an abrupt halt in Igbo land. I am calling on the Igbos in diaspora, the eastern governors,the Ezes and chiefs,the priest and pastors to help. Laws should be made available that will see the sudden death of this practice. The alleged Ohus or Osu can't live peacefully and happily in diala dominated neighbourhood, but diala living in their neighbourhood the reverse is the case. This is pure apartheid in black soil by blacks, are we confused or what? Igbos biko ka anyI hurita onwe anyi na anya (let us love one another) lest I forget, I wonder where we got the notion that we are jews, we are africans for christ's sake, the fact that we share similar culture doesn't make us jews. embrace your african brothers and stop creating enmity to our self. We need to reduce our pride in order to accommodate others, let us channel this our biafran struggle towards uniting Igbos first, I wonder how we are going to rule ourselves if Igbos hate theirselves this much , united we stand, divided we fall, use broom as a case study. A nation that is against it's self cannever stand. Don't be deceived, don't be gullible, we have to abolish discrimination its very bad. Pls Government should look into this its real .
Ignore any one that says its in extinct, its no longer practiced. Its either he is trying to avoid the topic or he is a bloody racist.
Seun pls help my people by taking this to front page, lalasticlala pls

I abandoned my ICT training, staying only for 2 months.my house rent was there. The money I would have channelled into something else if I had known it would turnout sour. to the extent I nearly died of heartbreak. I really suffered

I called my dad and told him what am going through . Immediately, he told me to come home, to see how evil and mean this landlord was, he carried the campaign all through the neighbourhood telling people I'm Osu. I once caught the landlady unaware saying 'kwapu kwapu'(park out)she was standing close to my door post and pointing at my room while uttering this heartbreaking word.that was the day I madeup my mind to leave. Knowing fully well that my life is precious to me. Ofcourse I didn't just leave, I made sure I heaped an irreversible curse on them for maltreating me of a crime I know nothing about.

everything was set, and well arranged, I had to pack in with few of my belongings , knowing fully well that its just few months to stay, then the contract will be terminated. Dear readers, the first night I spent there was horrible.at around 11pm, While I was asleep, I suddenly heard a bang on my door,
'who is it at this late hour of the night' I thought, waiting to hear another terrific knock. Only to start hearing people spitting and cursing every now and then, and calling 'Osu' and 'Ohu'. This eluded my dear sleep and kept me awake & confused all through the 9t, I didn't sleep that night. I thought maybe this will end soon, but it went on for days,weeks even up to my 2 months of staying there nonstop. I only managed to sleep plugging my ear piece and playing loud music. The funniest part is that they will do as if nothing happened the next morning. The following day the woman called her children, innocent poor souls, only if they knew what their parent wants to plant in them, I really pitied them. That night was when the parents planted this evil fruit of hate and hell bound pride. On this innocent poor souls. Now the children turned against me and behaved more arrogant than their parents. I wondered who told them that I am Osu or whatever, funny enough no one has ever called me such in my village,and to say that this people in question are catholics, they barely miss mass and sunday services.how can people be living without conscience. With much hatred to ur fellow Igbo, even when U don't know much about him, I wonder if Igbos were the only people that practiced slavery in the olden days, I wonder why they chose to abolish some evil cultures like twin killing and others only to keep and hold this one firmly. I believe I'm not the only Igbo going through this, yet they can't voice their pain so that peace will reign. I used to ask God why He made me an Igbo. Am fed up with such nonchalancy and ills of this ethnic group, that sometime I wonder if they are christians as they claimed to be. The peace loving majority they call Osu or Ohu are infact the people that will restore the glory of Igbo land if given a chance. Some people can't bear the stigma that they had to resort to living in foreign land.
The landlady/landlady in conjunction with the children, continued doing this, all in the bid to leave the house for them. Not minding I won't live forever with them, just 6 months.

This is the account of how I was humiliated,harassed and taunted by my supposed people, (the Igbos)
Pls pardon my wrong english usage and commonly misspelt words, I am only a secondary school graduate,besides english is not my first language.
I was born into a strict christian home,(parent are both pastors) and I'm 18 years old. I was being broughtup in a 'christ like' way. Never for once had I, in any way insulted my elders, always seen all as one. and I believed from the onset that the Igbos are one only to receive the shock of my life . Fastforward to my aim of this post.
Osu caste practice is real! And its still being practiced in Igbo land. Sometimes I used to wonder how man's heart could be this pitch dark,and hell bound. Last time I checked such hatred could be equated to demons, who had undergone several series of torture in hell by their master, only to be sent forth into earth to wreak havoc.
Dad was transfered to Nsuka to continue with his pastoral work, he took us along as usual, went there only to realise the part was too local and remote, I had to move to town Amogbo/onuiyi. Rented a house there with my hard earned money. At first the landlord & landlady were friendly. the land lord told me to pay 10,000 naira for 6months, only for his wife to intervene
"he is still a student, let him give us nine instead" only if I had known. It was later concluded on nine.
Note: my aim of renting the house is to enable me start my ICT training.
