Osu has been abolished in Igbo land by who? What have you been drinking?..where have you been?? Go and read some history on Micheal Okpara who purportedly "abolished" Osu and other caste system in Igbo land. I am not advocating that people should be treated differently but "it is what it is" when it comes to Osu in Igboland. Be mindful that the Igbos are not the only group of people with a caste system. Indians have a well established caste system worse than Igbos.

hehehehe.....
so who is marrying the yoruba women? aliens?



you have the intelligence of an abortus....

why jump into the middle of a discussion that is intellectually out of your league. you saw me & lady osisi on a discourse that is way beyond anything you can mentally tackle & you felt now is the time to gain attention.

in ancient ibadan, you would be beheaded for speaking to me when you are not spoken to. luckily for you, things have evolved. now run back to the crevice you crawled out from, you homöerötic leper.

nwanna89: I am igbo. By His grace, I will marry my gf who is Edo.

Even if you have met 1000 igbo men who insist on marrying igbo, you cannot make such a naive generalization since there are millions other igbo men.

You people keep looking for reasons to fuel tribalism on nairaland. Its not good!

Godspeed brother, people do different things for love, a man sold his kidneys to buy his girlfriend an engagement ring, so you won't be the first.

But let it be known to you that Edo women got itchy pus*sy, sooner or later, you di*ck is probably not going to be enough for her, & she will have to seek gratification somewhere else.

As for me, I go with my Igbo people or other tribe within Eastern Nigeria, reason why is because these are the people I get attracted to.

Lilimax: I almost got married to Segun a handsome and God fearing Yoruba guy fron Ijebu Ode.
After proposing to me, I allowed him to come to our house for the first time.
My parents liked him but when my mum discovered that he was a Yoruba guy, she became very cold.
Although my father was very indifferent.
The only thing my mum could say was over her dead body... and I became so afraid.
I don't know why she was against it till date.
I prayed all manners for prayers for God's will to be done; you know I don't want to go against my parents wish?
They must bless my marriage.
At the end it dosen't work out sad.
Even the Segun died a day after my wedding cry

The reason they were against the marriage then I don't know but I've come to understand some of the reasons sad




so you are married? and I was contemplating....

anambra men also discriminate? why would anambra men ignore other igbo girls as brides & marry within their state? anambra girls should be the least preferable in my own opinion. grin

shouldn't such practises of discrimination be outlawed? osu my foot!!! let me see a mazi or igwe that would prevent me from marrying someone they think is OSU......i would start a riot in that village.
Outlawed like how? I can't remember it being in any constitution. It's a matter of choice if one wants to associate with an OSu. There are white people who are not fond and won't marry a black person. There are catholics who hate Christians of other faiths and vice-versa. There are Muslims who detest Christians and vice-versa. Discrimination in any form has come to stay and isn't going anywhere for a very long time. Let's stop pretending like the OSU caste system is the only form of discrimination. Like i said, i've never met an Osu in my life knowingly cos the whole ish is minuscle. It's not as pronounced as you lots think.

outlawed as in - anyone found guilty of discriminating against osu should have the book thrown at him. people here have said one could lose a chieftaincy role, a political appointment just because he's osu - that's discrimination & it shouldn't exist in our world.

Where do you guys get all these stuff from? I've never encountered anywhere that the bolded have occurred but they're not plausible. The issue of OSU based on what i have heard(not witnessed) have risen mostly due to marriage and it's in the minority. Some parents might raise the fact that someone is Osu but it's in the same vein that some parents will raise the fact that their child is marrying from another tribe. It's just what it is and it's not something to be outlawed. It will die a natural death. The more people get educated, the more people care less about all these things. It's only in interior villages in Igboland that you'd probably hear about osu.

IF EVERY ETHNIC GROUP SHOULD MARRY INTO ANOTHER, WHO WOULD THEN BE LEFT TO UPHOLD YOUR CULTURE AND TRADITION?

These arguments are just pointless.

BESIDES, even if you all argue from now till tomorrow, what is on ground will still remain on ground: Igbo men and women prefer to marry one another.

Don't try to bring in western civilization here. Please, Whoever said you should forsake your people just because you acquired an education?? Is that what being educated now means to some folks?

Marry from your own, that is the Best. You know what to expect and understand yourselves. You were brought up in a certain way from when you were a kid, do you think it would be easy to learn to use the fork at old age?

It is this our tendency of attempting to be wiser that our fathers that is turning the world into chaos.

Not marrying en masse into another ethnic group DOES NOT mean you hate them. It will not bring business partnerships or co-existence to a halt. It will not make you love your neighbour any less.

Marriage is a different thing entirely- it should not be based on sentiments.
