Sometimes we ask questions as if we don't know...

Are am I the one that ask them to submit themselves to the gods....

When they commit atrocious crime....to avoid been banished they ran to the gods for protection...

In times of ancient wars instead to join or out of fear they ran to the gods....

They made themselves....nobody did.

What year did all this take place?

I wonder how people like you who are unknowledgeable get like in this country; not surprised shithole we have got.
Fr your info, "OSU" isn't a 2nd class citizen as the writeup wrongly stated but is similar like the "ABOBAKU" in Yoruba but in this case the OSU is dedicated to the gods, isn't killed but allowed to have a wife who is an OSU or a free caste who marries them and automatically becomes an OSU, Have children and live a life separate from the community.
How & why? Anyone who commits a crime or does something abominable and about to be abolished can on their own volition join the OSU caste to be free of the consequences. Once dedicated to the gods is seen as the property of the gods and anybody who touches or hurts them draws the wrath of the gods; this is why people don't interact with them. In fact, mere jest of them in certain cases can incur the wrath of the gods as believed.
You fear them cos they are not to be maltreated, they were never 2nd class citizens
please how can they be identified?

Once again, u have demonstrated ur poor error of judgement. Once again, u have shown how myopic u are. Once again, u have demonstrated how ur orientation doesn't allow u 2c beyond ur nostrils. U have demonstrated that diversity isn't part of ur humanity and that u have a preconceived mindset by which u judge people. Hence, d OSU thing appeals 2 ur sentiments

Parents should educate their children well coz there are raw breeds of empty skull everywhere.

They went to school thinking they are educated but learnt nothing.

You should channel your frustrations to your people who are slugging it out on daily basis because of religion.

Yoruba Christians Vs Yoruba Muslims

Skull mining nko ?

Where Ogun man will mine the skull of ekiti man and boast about it in the public and receive applauds from his likes.
If you guys continue with what you are known for, by next 20 to 25 yrs, you will be competing with Edos and Ijaws on 3rd largest ethnic groups in Nigeria.

I even forgot about Ife and Modakeke wey no dey take eyes see each other to the extent that they don't marry up till today

Re: Traditional Rulers Storm Anambra For Abolition Of Osu, Others by googi: 10:17pm On Dec 29, 2018
This is how history and circumstances change.

The Osu belonged to the highest order of religious class in Igbo land just like most communities in the world from Asia to Europe and Africa.

Some abused their privileged class and were revolted against. Not different from Catholic order that used to put people to death for heresy and those that went against their teaching and science.

The Osu were high class and never lived with common people. This made the revolt and overpowering them easier leading to banishment and ostracization.

Suddenly they became untouchables. If the Prostestants wanted to pay the Catholics back with their own coin, you would call Protestants Osu today.

Eh, what do I know.
Re: Traditional Rulers Storm Anambra For Abolition Of Osu, Others by Nobody: 10:24pm On Dec 29, 2018
Hope this thing works especially in imo and Enugu.
Some towns in anambra has abolished it since and intermarriage going on but mbaise and nsukka people are the 2 places I knew that don't wanna shake body.

I somehow knew that the so called osu people I knew are extremely exposed and wealthy.
And so damn beautiful.

Archaic tradition. Like Christianity,like Islam like traditional religion. All with useless and outdated laws.

I cannot agree more especially on religiousity.

The Osu have since gained upper hand since they were the experimental scholars to test if western education was good.

Many used the slight to propel themselves into higher and bigger things in life even marrying outside their communities and doing well.

Once their names became prominent, Africans are falling over themselves claiming them as sons and daughters.

Igbos gather here...

osu caste system as well as other discriminatory systems were evolutionary steps of our fathers in history.

WE have now outgrown it.

read DEUTERONOMY 23 verses 1-12.

as part and parcel of the Israelites, we practised the commandments written above.

now, I am here to do away with the old and institute the new.

osu, as well as other taboo systems have been destroyed by the blood of Christ Jesus!


in Christ everyone is a new creation.

we are a homogeneous, Christian, one language speaking people!

chukwu okike abiama mezie okwu...

AMEN!

Hatred won't save u from your heritage....

No-one is ever proud to be osu...in igboland...coz the stigma is purely deadly and evil....

If not that the society has advanced well, I wonder where u will get mouth to type that rubbish....


That's why I said it here that most people in support of this are osu....

These are same people fighting tooth and nail to make it is abolished......if they are not aware of its pain why are they fighting for it.....


Likes of u are fighting to have it abolished, u are hear talking trash maybe coz u don't reside in east...

Don't be a fool.
