Please fellow nairanlanders I have this issue which is tearing my family apart.

My sister is about to get married to the love of her life who resides in the United States but the problem is the guy is an Osu (outcast).
My family is kicking against thee marriage and my sister is insisting she’s going ahead with the marriage.
My question are as follows “Are there any negative implications of getting married to an Osu whether now or later in the future?
Has the Osu system been abolished in Igbo land?
Please guys help me so that we don’t make a mistake.
Thank you

No it's not

The worst that could happen is she gets cut off by your family.

She'll move to the United States to be with her husband. Herself and her children will have a much more better life than this rotting shell of a country with its grinding poverty, chaotic violent mess and backward traditions will ever afford them. Thank you.

You refer to Igbo tradition as a chaotic violent mess?


How dare you use such words?


If she wants to marry osu let her go ahead but don't insult the wisdom of the forebearers.

Don't be stupid, why won't he address the igbo tradition as a 'Chaotic violent mess'?

The word is 'forebears', not 'forebearers'. Thanks.

I don't blame you.

I blame ourselves the custodian of Igbo tradition for allowing strangers have input in our affairs.

Let's be watching.
