: Gov Willie Obiano of Anambra has urged  traditional rulers in the South East to take  drastic measures towards total eradication of  the Osu caste system in the zone. Obiano  made the call during the opening ceremony of a two-day Seminar for Anambra State Traditional Rulers Council on Thursday in Awka.

The governor observed that some communities in the zone had eradicated the Osu Caste System while some were still practicing the obnoxious traditional Osu caste. Obiano, who frowned at the discrimination associated with the system, expressed worry over the rate of cultism among the youths in the state.

He challenged the traditional rulers to fashion strategies towards dealing with the issue of cultism head on as the government at the grassroots. The governor used the opportunity to advise the royal fathers to access the health insurance scheme introduced in the state by his administration to improve their lives.

Obiano expressed satisfaction over the effective implementation of the N20 million `choose your community’ projects in their various communities in the state.  In a  speech, the Chairman of the State Traditional Rulers Council and Obi of Onitsha, Igwe Alfred Achebe, said the event would afford them the opportunity to discuss and evaluate certain issues of critical importance to the state and the entire former eastern Nigeria.  The event with the theme: ‘Igbos Have Kings’  attracted  leaders and  traditional rulers in the Southeast and South-South geo-political zones of the country.

I doubt Obiano said this

Because osu caste issue is a dead issue in the SE

The only place we have osu is in osun

I reserve my comments

Better, because your mouth may

Obiano leave osu matter face governance

Osu is osu and is meant for the gods.




Why not allow your son to marry an Osu obiano

Any loyal father that abolishes osu will have to marry osu first then we can follow.


The gods are wise and their wisdom unknown to men.

All I know is that the gods have been silent on Osu matter and until they speak, the status quo must remain.

There is no more osu, except those who are in osun

The Bible abolished Osu, but osun people refused

Osu caste is very prevalent in Imo and Enugu states and parts of Abia state.

Then go and marry Osu.

The 1991 decree moved all osus into one state.

And so I hold.

stop publicizing your ignorance on the social media.

Osu is a town in Osun State, not that god forsaken practice in the south east

Let the gods fight for themselves..

You can't re write history to pave way for your personal motive

NonsoWow:
Osu caste is very prevalent in Imo and Enugu states and parts of Abia state.

That was before 1900,

Now, all the osus has been moved to osun state and they now enjoy freeborn status as they can marry themselves and rule themselves.

Other yorubas don't want to marry them.
