Exposure is indeed rare. People can be literate but still uneducated.

I blame the man for marrying her in the first place..


Taaaah! Osu people!

I don't get this though . What's all the buzz about biafra then if igbos discriminate against a certain clan?

Not all Igbos are agitating for biafra bt the osu isn't a clan. Its a certain set of pple in a community that other people stigmatize because of their heritage. According to what I hear tho, not all parts of Igboland hv the osu tradition

Greekgoddess:
Dis osu thing has better stop

All those dat r rejecting d osu people, dat stigmatized dem, for once let dem put themselves in dese people shoes, how will dey feel if dey r one of dem

I don't know y it's only imo state dat practice such

Obiorathesubtle wats ur problem, don't tell me u r in support of dis

Customs are also continually changed to keep up with the times. Would you support a custom such as this? Or killing of twins,abobaku, widows drinking late husbands bath water etc?

I don't tink its only Imo state that has the outcast practise. Its all over. Igboland and even in the western world in countries like India, there's a thriving caste system in which intermarriage. btw d Brahmins(highest class) and d untouchables is discouraged. Any such marriage btw both classes is seen as class suicide almost the same thing as an abomination in Igboland

sister do ur research very well and u will find out is only imo state that is still practising this poo

"Is there anyone you'd like to call?"

A thousand thoughts race through her mind as she holds on to the dining chair, her knees, suddenly seem unable to bear the weight of her rubbery legs.

"Madam? Is there anyone you'd like to call?" He asks again.

She shakes her head in denial, seeing and yet unseeing the three strangers in her dining room. Her grip on the chair shakes as she wobbles on her feet. One man immediately grabs her from behind.

"Take it easy, madam," they chorus as the man helps her to one of the chairs.

They wear a forlorn mien plastered with furrowed frowning faces like people whose inhalation of the putrid smell of stinking fart, affect. Her expression is vacant as she stares back at them, their images so blurring and blending into one another that she thinks it is a dream; a very bad dream that if she shuts her eyes and opens will go away. She does this but the men are still there, staring back at her with solemn faces.

"I'm so sorry..."

The eldest-looking one among them speaks but she cannot understand through the haze that is settling over her soul. She tries to listen to him but deep down she does not believe all he is saying. She does not want to believe it.

He speaks of details that are like a buzz in her brain, of arrangements to be made. But it is all lost on her.

They leave and she is alone in the house she and Nduka rented when they newly got married. The house they had saved for, painted and decorated together. The house they had planned to welcome their child in, together.

She hears her own keening as she collapses on the floor by her front door. Lying on her side, she gathers herself into a ball in defense and denial.

Nduka cannot be dead. He is young and healthy. He is coming home and they are having his favourite soup, ofe onugbu for dinner. Slowly, the words of the men that had left begins to seep into her brain.

...a mistake, the taxi driver hadn't seen him coming.

If I supported it,I wldnt be writing about it. The truth is that there are some reforms in our traditional practices but those reforms haven't completely eradicated such customs as this

Agreed.
It takes time and exposure.

When a billionaire comes to ask their daughter's hand in marriage, the money would even wipe the part of their brain that goes to ask osu questions.
