They should take this matter to the house , Sponsor a bill and make into law ,The Rubbish must Stop .
And those who break that law should be punished with 20 years imprisonment with hard labor. After that, their head go correct by force 😎

Ohu means slaves and came to be as a result of end in transatlantic slave trade so those unsold in different communities were accepted as settlers but not given full rights as the Freeborns in the locality. Most families don't really care or notice who is Ohu or not in everyday life but in occassions like Chieftaincy and things that have to do with deep traditional practices they are excluded

Nobody intimidates or demolishes anybody's house because he is Ohu. They just can't hold traditional Chieftaincy and other traditional rites that's all. It's different from what is happening in Lagos

The day my dad was like "See that place where those beautiful women are coming out from, they are ohu and we can't inter marry", was the day I knew I might disappoint him one day.

Osu is a relic from the old religion.
As long as they are Christians, they are our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.

You might want to seat this one out.

You are talking about a people who discovered metal smithing long before your people discovered even discovered fire.

They can't marry non-Osu.

Clearly, they would not be voted in an election.

I'm pretty sure they cannot own certain lands.

How do they keep track of the families with ohu lineage? How accurate is the labelling?

You can imagine calling their own tribes men OSU, imagine if it was in the West. These are the same sets of hypocrites that will be shouting tribalism up and down. They don't even regard Ebonyin people as one of them!

so how does that make it right? Always trying to justify nonsense btw we won’t be blackmailed by you clowns in the way we chose to govern our state, any one not pleased with it can relocate to his/her village and continue with the backward practice undecided

This can only happen in the yeast, as for me and my family in my region there is nothing like ,OSU so I can marry whoever I like. those people who still believe in this Osu system are the worse people on earth.
