The Osu Caste System is an ancient practice in Igboland that discourages social interaction and marriage with a group of people, referred to as Osu (outcasts). This is because they dedicate these Osu people to the Alusis (deities) and are thus seen as inferior to the Nwadiala (free-borns). This practice in IGBOLAND is actually a wicked tradition which is seen to be obnoxious..like it's very difficult to be abolished.... It contains every form of discrimination and abuse.... You can see the hidden facts and reasons why the OSU practice is difficult to be abolished.

Inasmuch as I find the constant need of people who have not had an encounter with the Osu system to 'discuss' the subject tiring and mildly irritating (in part because all it does is provide fodder for tribalists to troll Igbo people), I am always on the lookout for discussions that examine the topic from a historical perspective.

And something you said in the video about the origin of the Osu Institution caught my interest. The thing about a man who went into the forests and invoked the gods to end a drought (or is it pestilence). Please where did you obtain that piece of tradition from? Is there an online link? I would love to read more on that and other origin stories you might have encountered in the course of working on your video. Thank you.
