A mini riot broke out in Enugu after an Osu/Ohu was appointed as the DPO in one LGA.

How did they know he was one?
Dem dey carry Mark 4 face?

SpaceX:
30 and above, they are for recreational purposes only

You must be a child. How about single men aged 30 to 60. Who'll they marry??
Third world mentality

aribisala0:
Which of the gods
I know Jehovah the blood thirsty deity declared Cain an outcast because he brought him a vegetarian offering

He didn't then add all Cain's descendants till the end of time

DoctorStanley:
I think it is still better than people who prostrate to descendants of people who killed and subjugated their forefathers, and crown them and their descendants "king" forever!
What do you think?

🤣🤣 cry me a river, what can be as worse than a culture that discriminates amongst itself and yet hypocritically accuse others tribalism and ethnic profiling…..they even class some people as wawa and nwa abakiliki 😂😂😂 you should be ashamed of yourself

aribisala0:
How is that relevant to what you quoted

If you don't know the difference between Cain AND Cain plus all his descendants forever, I can't help you

I think worshipping and prostrating to ALL descendants of people who killed your forefathers to the end of time, and making them "kings", is worse. No?

QuinQ:
😅🤣 Come on bro, you ought know better. This had nothing to do with osu/ohu

Ok

🤣🤣🤣 when you wake up your parents with kick how will you acknowledge a culture of respect Yorubas are known for? NwOSU, stop crying😂😂 we don’t practice Osu caste system here in yorubaland nor do we have wawa and nwa abakiliki nonsense, nor do we force our women to drink corpse water of their dead husbands😂😂😂 we re civilised people and not primitive cavemen still living in 2000AD bunch of shameless people 😂😂

dangermouse:
Ohu is not even that serious as it is not that common and not visible any longer. One can easily inter marry with them.

Osu is more serious. They never mentioned it, only the Ohu caste system.

Even the church could not eradicate it (Osu) as some things are better left as it is.

Believe me, if it were that easy they would have done it in the 1930's, and it wouldn't take all this fanfare

Cmanforall:
Unfortunately

VERY unfortunate.
I think it is because it affects the offsprings

FashionCookie:
This particular system will be very hard to abolish.
Not something wey person go chop belleful come dey do.
Except maybe by the Christians amongst them.(the ones with mind o).
Nobody want make dem use am set example.

Even the most fervent pioneering Evangelists of the past who were ready to die for Christ - they still obeyed osu/ohu. I think it is because it affects the children and descendants - it is not just you

Bwilliam:
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.

In theory.
In practice even the most ardent evangelists refused their offsprings marryng an osu/ohu

🤣😂😂😂 continue trolling…….as he dey pain dem, he Dey sweet us🤣🤣🤣

aribisala0:

You keep asking this rather st*pid question. You were comparing God declaring Cain outcast to the Igbo osu/ohu system

Moderation in everything. Igbos are VERY respectful of parents and elders. Groveling on the ground is unnecessary. So is spending 30 minutes in greeting

Go and try... You will not only disappoint your father, you will also disappoint yourself.

goslowgoslow:
They don't even regard Ebonyin people as one of them!

They're not normal people... That's the only place you'll go to in Igboland and see Muslims. Is that not a stain already?

True.
But apart from not being able to marry in the future, what other consequences do they face, assuming they want to get married?

QuinQ:
Hope it works. Igbos should come together as a nation and abolish the Osu or Ohu (is there a difference?) system.

Yes Osu means people sacrificed to the Oracle whereas ohu means slaves probably gotten after winning a war.

Relinquish your crown to one of them… or better still … marry one for yourself… and also for your daughters and sons… That will make a difference…

I see the Osu thing as a foolish talk. I no dey put am for mind in relationship.

Thanks, someone already told me that. But in terms of outcome with society the result is the same.

But that's huge! Read Achebe's "No Longer At Ease". There's how they are seen and so many societal titles and things they can't pertake in, no matter how successful they become!
