Lets Talk About Osu In Igboland Culture. Ok, this is a post for those who are familiar with the Osu menace, I beg all tribalists and trouble makers to stay away from this thread and not try to derail it. Every society, race or tribe has got its ills. This should not be used as an avenue to mock on anyone or tribe. Even though Osu exists in Igboland, there are millions of Igbo people who doesnt know what Osu means. I have met such people from some pats of Abia State, and Afiko, Ohaozara etc in Ebonyi state. At first I used to think these guys are pretending when they say Osu is not know in their townLGA, I later found out that Osu does not exist in some towns and local government areas in Igboland. Maybe this is an Imo State problem, I dont know. Lets have a meaningful and constructive discussion. I am making this post because some weeks ago I had a serious argument about this issue with my uncle which resulted in a serious slap. We were in the village for a burial, the next day there was a village meeting. During the meeting one Emeka raised his hand and said he had something important to say. He started raising some important issues but suddenly my uncle cut in and started raining curses and abuses at Emeka, claiming Emeka should respect himself, he is Osu and should not talk when freeborn is talking I was sitting very close to my uncle and i became overly angry and uncontrollable, what I did to my uncle I cannot write here. The fact still remains that osu issue is at the end of the road in IMO state. I am from ikeduru too. The former IMO state is speaker is from my community.

I am a free born from a royal family. I am concerned because these guys are innocent, whatever their parents or forefathers did ages ago should not be used to punish them now. If we say their parents worshiped idol then tell me if there is any family in black Africa that does not worship Idol before the white men came I am concerned because I travel a lot, and I have been racially abused by European and Asian racists so I know how it feels to be racially abused. WHAT IS OSU I have heard different versions of this story and I dont know which version to believe. They say, some time ago only God knows when there was a war, famine or disease in a certain land, people were dying in great numbers or so, and a certain man took his children to a certain forest and prayed to the evil forest God to save him and his family, and if the calamity does not touch his family he will worship the forest god forever. Sky Ing Software. Since nothing happened to this man, he lived in the evil forest and worshiped this god. As a result, he was given the name Osu, meaning outcast, evil or idol worshiper or whatever. Because of this, he is considered evil and no one comes close to him or his family. Traditionally, there are two classes of people in Igboland the Nwadiala and the Osu. The Nwadiala literally meaning sons of the soil are the freeborn. They are the masters. While the Osu are the slaves, the strangers, the outcasts and the untouchables. Chinua Achebe in his well known book, No Longer At Ease asks What is this thing called OsuHe answers Our fathers in their darkness and ignorance called an innocent man Osu, a thing given to the idols, and thereafter he became an outcast, and his children, and his childrens children forever The Osu are treated as inferior human beings in a state of permanent and irreversible disability. They are subjected to various forms of abuse and discrimination. The Osu are made to live separately from the freeborn. In most cases they reside very close to shrines and marketplaces. The Osu are not allowed to dance, drink, hold hands, associate or have sexual relations with Nwadiala. They are not allowed to break kola nuts at meetings. No Osu can pour libation or pray to God on behalf of a freeborn at any community gathering. It is believed that such prayers will bring calamity and misfortune. GROWING UP Even though Osu is still prevalent in my townLGA now, it was worst like 2. When I was growing up, we were not allowed to go to a barbers shop owned by Osu person. Our parents would tell us which barbers shop to use and which one to avoid. As custom demands, if Osu person cuts your hair you will automatically become Osu, and every member of your family becomes Osu instantly. If you marry Osu, you will become Osu instantly and all members of your family will be Osu. Right now, we have our hair cut wherever we deem fit and we have not become Osu. We now do everything with them except MARRIAGE. MARRYING OSU There must be something strong with this. There are only 3 guys I know that have attempted marrying Osu, 2 of them died mysteriously with their children. They usually die in strange circumstances. The only guy that survived it is living in London with his wife and children. When he wanted to marry this so called Osu wife his father told him not to try it otherwise he would disown him and he will never be allowed to come to the village again. He told his dad fine, he loves this girl and cannot marry someone else. He also said he already owns a house in London and doesnt need his father if he cannot reason with him. This happened like 9 years ago and the guy has never visited the village ever then, he is waxing really strong, he is currently a lecturer at the University of Liverpool and has 4 children. I would say he has broken that evil jinx and probably other guys in the town will follow suit. To my Igbo brothers from other statesvillages, how are Osu people perceived in your placeAre people allowed to marry Osu without problems What version of the osu story were you told I have heard many different versions, some say war, some say disease, others say famine. Is it true that anyone with the following surname is from Osu family, like Osuji, Osueke, Nwosu, Osuala etc Do you think this prejudice will ever stop In my opinion YES, because before now we were not allowed to use their barbers shop, today that is history.
