NARRATIVE NUMBER ONE
MARRY AN OUTCAST (OSU) AND THE CONSEQUENCES....
Hello Mrs Kork!
How are you and yours doing? I've been stuck on your blog since 2013 lol I comment under anonymous. Please I would appreciate it if you post this on your blog because I'm a whole lot confused on this matter.
My boyfriend and I have been dating since we were 19 (we both just turned 26), that's a long time right? Lol! Well yeah we have and we plan on formalising our relationship by next year by Gods grace. We love each other very much but we are both shy and confused On how to go ahead with the whole thing. We both come from strict igbo homes so our parents don't really know much about the relationship although we are trying to involve them now.
He's recently met my parents so now they know who he is, my siblings know him and all. I'm yet to meet his parents officially although I've met them in years past and his siblings know me very well.
The problem now is the traditional part of it. My ancestors were what they call "outcasts" (osu) in the igbo tradition and my bf has kinda hinted his dad about it and his father told him he wouldn't advice any of his kids to marry an osu. Igbo people on this blog would understand. We don't know how to go about this, as at last year we felt we were still young to start talking marriage to the parents, now we don't know how to go about it.
Should he tell them straight out about the osu thing? Or should he wait till they've gotten to know me first before it would be brought up. I'm not getting any younger and I'm scared that they may not agree. We love each other very much and we would really love to get married.
Personally I don't accept the whole osu BS cos my parents don't believe in such, they're strong christians and his parents are knights so I'm still confused on why his dad would still be thinking in the old ways. I'm the 4th girl and none of my sisters are married, he's the last born and his elder ones are married. All these nonsense beliefs that just don't make sense to me, times have changed why can't people change with it?
We are praying and believing it would all work out in our favour but I want to get BVs advice on the way forward. It would really be helpful and appreciated.
Stella please please please post this please.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. God bless you.
PS: My bf and my siblings read your blog, I'm kinda scared to put this out because they would know its me but WTH.
Never doubt God....
So this Osu thing still exists?OMG!
I know how many marriages were brought to a halt because of this and i know Ladies who are still single because of the Osu thingy.
I am not from Eastern Nigeria so i do not know what to say or how to advice you but i think it is wrong if your plans with Bae is halted cos of this.

NARRATIVE NUMBER TWO
PRAYER FOR FRUIT OF THE WOMB.
Dear Stella,
I am a married lady in her late 30's, I have been following you for some years now, since the time of you and Jim Iyke's gbege, 2shirts for 1dollar.But I started commenting with my I.d this year when my husband opened a gmail account for me. We've been married for some years now and in love with ourselves, neighbours even talk about our affections for each other,we are Winners but I and some women too in my area, come together once in a week to pray for same problem, fruit of the womb. And God is really doing it for us, some without faith back out and opt for other options like concoction,herbalist etc. I am the leader of the group God has answered 4 amongst us, I have been to the hospital with my husband and we are certified OK.
As a woman age is no more on my side but I believe with God all things are possible. My husband is understanding he doesn't complain but to pray together and visit our pastors together, he is supportive in all area even monetary wise, but up until now nothing oooo. As am typing am crying because am someone that loves children buy things for them,take care of children's need. My husband's family are just around my neck like neck chain, they are not even smiling at all they talk about me in my presence as if they are referring to some other people.
A missed period of some days now becomes menstruation last night again. I am already getting tired, but I know God truly answers prayers, so I want all BV's to please pray for me with one mind from the bottom of their hearts,I love children God please, I can't stand it any longer,it is not easy for me as am typing I have cried my heart out.I pray that all in my condition too will see the hand of God this year IJN. Amen.
Stella please I want to remain anonymous till I come back to testify to your prayers and God's miracle. Thank you Stella, your blog shall be recognised in places beyond your imaginations for Good. God bless your family.
ME.
Delay is not denial,please DO NOT give up on God...hold on to your Faith and God will give you even more than you asked for in Jesus mighty name.
Poster 1 and 2,may God help you both.
ReplyDeletePoster 1, you really have lil chance if his parents are knights. Them knights are kinda occultic. Funny thing is: an Africa American (who is a known ofu/osu + confirmed akata) will be readily accepted by these same people labelling others as ofu/osu in South East. But so na only south east e dey?
DeletePoster 2, nothing is impossible with God. Like Stella said, don't give up on God, keep declaring God's word concerning ur situation even when it is looking bleak. He is a faithful God & His word definitely comes to pass, He is more than able to bring it to pass. Stay strong

ReplyDeleteP1 let him tell his parents, thank God your parents already know its rubbish. I'm not Igbo but I have heard about this Osu thingy. Its well jare. Let him tell his parents is you he wants and then see what happens. No wahala jare. It's well.
ReplyDeleteP2
Delay is not denial. God is a prayer answering God. Don't worry, since you guys are certified OK, you'll have your child. We'll hear your testimony this year at Shiloh by God's grace. Nothing is impossible for him. He's too much!!!!

ReplyDeleteUr bf is being nice abt it wit u. I am sure his father forbad him from goin close to an osu else he'll be disowned. I know how my parents warned me n my brothers abt it. 1) nobody frm their side will evn attend d wedding and d whole family's rep will be rubbished. Stop beating about d bush abt it n face it fair and square so u can weigh ur options nw before it becomes too late 4 u
DeleteMarry from another tribe if u cant find another osu to settle down with
DeleteP2 faith without work is useless.
ReplyDeleteI want to believe u've tried advanced methods of assisted conception!

Don't pray n fold ur hands, time dey go.

Age mates don't get married,ask questions!
You need an older n well experienced man not your high school sweetheart
2--you being an Osu is a big issue cos I'm really not sure you can ever get married to an Igbo man from a home,trust me we believe osus are cursed.
People like u don't look within the igbos
Get yourself a Yoruba man
Ignore their oily soup and peppery food cos u haven't got more options
You can even try Hausas but Yoruba is a better option cos they are more westernised
Cheers
Did u type dis? Wow! Congrats dear. U just typed all I had in mind except d hausa part. Lol u wicked small sha.
DeleteHahahHa@ oily soup and pepper
DeleteSee advice! Mamie ain't smiling. That's some truth though, females labeled osu that I know are too damn beautiful. They can fine for Africa. I just wish this thing could end somehow.

DeleteN2, I pray for you today. By this time next year, you will come back to testify with your bundle(s) of joy in Jesus name.
ReplyDeleteAmen
DeleteNarrative 1: not to burst your bubble but the marriage will NOT hold. Ibo hold that Osu thing above everything else. even if your parents were to accept, his kinsmen will not and you need them for the traditional rites.
ReplyDeleteI will suggest that you wed a non-ibo speaking dude. Ask your sisters one on one why they are still unmarried and you will be shocked at their response.
Narrative 2: I pray your heart desires are granted. Don't stop taking the daily folic acid. Have you tried IVF?
Poster 2 nothing is impossible with God, though it may tarry, wait for it, you will have your hearts desire, pls be encouraged.... Its well, joy will come in the morning.. Ehugs
ReplyDeletePoster2,u will carry ur baby soonest,just put ur hope in God.

Am ibo and i know this osu matter is no joke in ibo land especially imo state (myth says if an osu marries a non osu one will die early ,for me i feel is all myths and people die at any age osu or no osu ) with the rate we have christianity i thought this osu thing has been abolished .na wa oh agwo nu na akrika.my dear you guys should tell his parents ,the truth is your parents will definitely accept but his parents wont ,but you guys should try first tell his parents and hear from them if they say no ,you still have plenty of time to start up another relationship,if he marries you against his parents will ,the truth is you are both from ibo land ,he cant come alone to pay your bride prize and non of his family or uncles will even come with him ,and his family will never visit your home it is that bad my dear ,so think about this .you tell him now to tell his parents to hear from then first ,God can do all things they might say ok ,if they say no end it dear for you own good .Goodluck
ReplyDeleteSeriously???

Poster1=Please leave the guy so that another will come,We ibos strongly beliv in that & the guy's pepo will not agree.Try & get someone that is from another tribe who doesn't beliv in it. Poster2= can I have your contact?Btw why not try Ginger & scent leaf or bitterleaf & scent leaf.Read psm 51,91,1,35,3 & pray (tell God what you want).It worked for me.Blend d Ginger & scentleaf,soak for 3days then drink for 7days.(B)Blend scent leaf & bitter leaf then drink it.God is still God.If you are in lagos contact me.May God see una through.
ReplyDeletePoster 1, I'm so sorry for your situation.
ReplyDeletePlease, since his father is already tending towards the 'God forbid!' direction, prepare yourself for the worst.
I wish you can even look outside the Igbo tribe but I know 7 years is a long time and you don't want to think about giving up now.
I know an igbo 'non-osu/diala' lady who went ahead to marry her 'osu' boyfriend against her family's wish.
Today, she is the only one among her sisters doing exceptionally well. Her marriage is thriving. She and her husband are supporting her family so much so that they have eaten back their words.
I do not know what will happen in your case but if you have to do it again, just look outside your tribe. It is safer that way.
poster1 it's going to be difficult let him tell his parents now so u know wat to do,i knw about it cos my bff had to marry an ijaw man cos of dis poster 2 why not try ivf not to worry every tin will be fine just Saïd a prayer for u now

Poser 2 as I read your chronicle I felt so bad but I consoled my self with his word where he asked us to go and multiply on earth. I know its not easy but trust me ur miracle is on the way. Don't loose hope or fear, our God says every good and perfect gift come from him, he cannot give us what we can't handle. Our God is not a man that he should lie neither is he a man that he should repent. Believe his word and soon you shall carry your babies.
ReplyDeletePOSTER1 sincerely am igbo, my parents are christians but they still belive in this osu things. I rmber then my dad will always ask me hope you tell him you are not OSU so he will know. I don't know how yours will go unless God decides to work in your favour this time which I hope he does.

ReplyDeletePoster 2: God makes all things beautiful at HIS own time and HIS plans for our life is always the best.
ReplyDeleteObviously, ur womb is not created in your body as decoration, it has a purpose. I pray that the purpose for which your womb was created shall be fulfilled in Jesus name. Just as you were given birth to, you will in turn birth your own kids in Jesus name. You will be the biological mother of your husband's children and your hubby will be the biological father of your own children in Jesus name. No strange woman will take over your home in Jesus name. It is well with you!
Be strong darling, your miracle is just around the corner.
@poster 1, you need to pray seriously o because even the Knights in the church and strong church members still kick against the Osu thing. I told some people that it will die with our parents' generation as there is no sense behind it jaree.
ReplyDeleteFor where? It won't die with their generation oo. Ikaa afuro nke toro fada! Some of them young folks will grow up to carry that on top of their head.
Deleteposter 1 no comment. Poster 2 God will surely grant u wat u wish 4. Habakkuk 2:3:“For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” That message from Heaven that is meant for you, and that would translate you to the next spiritual encounter with […]
ReplyDeleteFirst poster,
ReplyDeleteNa wah ohh... So that nonsense Osu thing is still in existence...
Get pregnant and his people will approve of you guys sharp sharp...
2nd poster,
Your baby is on the way,keep praying...
Try Ivf if you have the money...
Linda how , if they approve ,who will go to pay for her bride prize .non osu dont want to be seen around the osu people .if they love each other they should forget traditional rites amd just do court and church wedding ,but even the bible the bride prize is more important
DeleteMy friend married an osu, her Dad didnt attend the wedding, thankfully they live in d UK, so she doesnt really care anymore, her dad still doesnt speak to her till date. This life is just not fair sha
DeletePoster 2,
DeleteAwwww

The Lord is your strength, don't lose faith ok.
I can't begin to imagine how you are feeling right now.
Bear it in mind that everything happens for a reason, God hasn't deserted you.
Your testimony which I know is around the will bring more followers to our Lord God.
Keep believing in him and staying true to his word.
He never deserts his own.
It is well with you and your hubby in Jesus name, Amen.
While you are waiting, can you adopt a baby?
I've heard stories of those who did that whole TTC and the adopted baby opened a way for them and they had their own babies after all.
Since you already love kids naturally, then maybe you should give it a try.
Go to a reliable adoption agency and apply for a baby.
You have nothing to loose.
All the best dear.
Your miracle is just around the corner.
Be strong.
Poster 1,
I'm afraid this osu factor might affect your marrying your man.
Sad truth.
When it comes to traditional stuff like this, you will be amazed at how even the so called Christians and educated people will react.
Please prepare yourself for the worst.
Hand everything over to God.
What ever the outcome is, take it in good faith.
If you are meant to be together, God will always find a way of making it work despite all odds.
But incase it eventually doesn't work out, I advise you not to date an Igbo guy or even a Nigerian guy next.
Go for a white man if you can.
Cos as sad as it is, issues like this will always come up when you want to marry an Igbo man or a Nigerian.
Fear not dear, this won't be the end of your world.
What will be will be with God by your side.
Better days ahead.
All the best from me to you.
Poster2; yours is on d way I wish I can give u d 1 am carrying. Am pregnant nau and am not even ready 4 it. God wil surprise u b4 dis year runs out
DeleteBeing an osu is nothing. BULLSHIT! that's just the height of wickedness. If you love each other, work at getting married. NaetoC's mum is an osu! Oby Asika mum is an osu. They all married well and are happy. And their children are happily married except for one or two. Don't let tradition take your joy away. I can give u more names of prominent people in the society and o! Oby Asikas Dad was Anthony Ukpabi Asika. Use google or ask around. Don't let that archaic tradition fool u. Take what's yours. Nothing dey par! #Godwin
DeletePoster 2, may God answer you just like he answered Hannah. You will carry ur own baby IJN
Delete@N1 so sorry dat's wot it Ȋ̝̊̅ڪ. Wen I was single I prayd not to fall in luv wit an "osu" cos I know my family. My mum can carry church for head but wen it comes to osu matter, it's a no no for her. So I had to thread wit caution. My advice Ȋ̝̊̅ڪ just to pray o. Let God just take control. Donyt even bother gettin pregnant for him cos your guy's parents won't even change their mind cos of that. Igbos see it more as stigma than woteva myth dey believe. As for me I don't beliv in it cos I just feel its not fair at all. How can dey call u osu wen u don't even know anytin about wot your ancestors did? Just not fair. But u shuld av known and chanelld your hrt to those areas dat don't beliv in it like mostly enugu pipi. D enugus don't beliv in it. Most osu I know marry from enuhu state to avoid osu siri osu a siri. Just pray and let your guy do majority of d fight. @2nd poster by God's grace u'll carry your baby by dis time nxt yr. Amen
Delete@ego lag, I'm from Enugu, there is osu in Enugu but a whole lot of people are overlooking because it's 21st century. I know a village close to us where it was said 70% of them are osu. But today nobody talks about it because at some point when Christianity had penetrated most places, they elders of that village gathered an took an oath never to disclose who is osu and who is not during 'iju ese' b4 marriage. Now they inter marry freely and nobody remembers who was and who wasn't. I suggest more villages should do so to. Let everyone from that village be under an oath to shout the fvk up about who is osu! What one doesn't know, can't kill him/her. von dem Palmweintrinker
DeleteWho said Enugu ppl dont believe in Osu?? The people u know probably married into an Osu family..
DeleteVerdammt! autocorrect von dem PWT.
DeleteChieee... Tufia abeg fellow igbos tell her the truth now. u know say u be osu u dey befriend diala say wethin happen . U want make dem chase u with matchetee before u go begin run. U get mind safe they open mouth .....love my foot

Poster 2, God will bring ur woes to a halt and bless you with beautiful blessed children in Jesus name, His promises are Yes and Amen.
DeletePoster 1, pls don't let archaic and extinct culture cost u ur husband o. Hian. E hard to find husband dese days!
ReplyDeletePoster 2, God isn't dead! He's definitely bringing your miracle.
Poster 1, even in the north we have such weird culture. Ours is so bad that people don't eat what outcasts cook, they break their plate when an outcast touches it. And as an outcast if you are lucky enough to be served food you have to eat it in the kitchen. One man from my husband's village destroyed his pit toilet because an outcast used it. I know a girl whose wedding was cancelled on that day cos of this outcast stuff. I believe you both should pray and tell them about it early enough to save any disgrace at the dying minute.
DeletePoster 2, because I'm carrying a child right now, God will answer you speedily. You shall become a mother of many children.
@oil money, I'm sorry but where in the north are you from? I'm a full blooded northern and I've never heard of such. Though the north has many tribes sha with distinct languages and culture
DeleteChildren are God's heritage and it won't cost Him anything to give u a set of twins. Pls get the book "You shall not be barren" by Bishop David Oyedepo and read. Have faith and use the principles stated in d book. Your father is a baby maker so u can't be a baby beggar. I join my faith with urs and I say according to this time of life, u ll hold ur baby in ur hands and we will celebrate with you in Jesus name. Hold on to God.
ReplyDelete@poster 2: Faith is believing in the unseen, so keep believing God regardless of negative circumstances. He has never failed and will not start now. Children are a gift from God and he will grant you this special gift as long as you keep your eyes on him. Please don't give up and you shall testify soon, amen.
ReplyDeleteGod answers prayers he will surely answer you
ReplyDeletePoster 1: I'm going to be very candid with u. Igbos don't marry from OSU families. Even when he defies his parents &marries you,u will be blamed for every misfortune that happens in d family. I really don't know when this segregation will end but not anytime soon. However, your case might be the first successful Osu marriage, who knows?
ReplyDeleteyour boyfriend is an idiot,did he have to tell his parents that if he really loves you
DeleteEven if he didnt, they wuld hav still found out
DeleteNot first o. I know a family of 5 girls, pretty damsels, their father very respected doctor. The day I heard they were Osu, I marvelled. 4 of them are married now, very stable homes and marriages.
DeletePoster 1, so sorry to hear your predicament. Wish I know what to advice you. Need to let his family know and be prepared for the response they might give.
Easy @anon17:14. Parents do check background before marriage, they would have eventually found out. So he is right to have told them.
DeleteNarrative One: must you people inform his parents about the Osu thingy???? I really don't know why Igbos are so superstitious.
ReplyDeleteNarrative 2: can I ask you to relax? As difficult as it seems, you'll have to try and chill. Rest your body so it can conceive. I'm so happy your husband is with you.
A friend just called to inform me, this morning, that she has put to bed. I cried, I don't know why, but I cried. I was too happy to say anything. She said a prayer for me; that the God that did it for her will also do mine for me. Madam, I say the same prayer for you today. You shall carry your children and children's children. I'll be waiting for your testimony. May God give you the strength and Grace you need at this time. Amen.
Even if she doesn't tell them, dey'll find out. Dat's wot dey call iju ajuju dats askin questions. Igbos do dat. Dey'l even go to your village sef. And igbos are not superstitious dearie. Its just one funny custom
DeleteMy dear unlike the yorubas we ask questions before marring off our daughters even the guys family will do same so as to knw the linage the supposed wife/husband is from and to knw if the av any kind of sickness/bad fortune etc in their linage *ijuauju* in oda words we don't do the iyawo sara tin lol... So no mata aw they try to hid it the family will still find out but I pray their love prevails
DeleteThe "Osu" stigma is so bad that everyone in the village knows about it.
DeleteYou can never hide it. Once ajuju time comes,it must surely come out.
Poster 1,this is a very tough position you are in..please let your boyfriend introduce you to the family now so you know your fate before the year runs out...you need to know where you stand fast!!!
Do not let him string you along by telling you he will work on his folks.. It is either they are with you or against you... you need to know.
Poster 2.. God. Is faithful!
Infact I have a testimony right now,one of my friends I have been interceeding for just took in!! God be praised.
I met another lady at ANC,she came with her cute child.. and was pregnant..she opened up and told me how they waited for this miracle for 5 years.. her inlaws were almost kicking he out.. she went for surgeries,tests..etc.. still nothing.. she wasn't ovulating,no period. The devil was having a big dance in her life.
In 2013,she started feeling sick..ofcourse since she wasn't seeing her period for a long time or ovulating,she felt she was just sick.. my dear.. after some tests were ran.... this woman was a month gone ooh..she gave birth in january 2014!! She said she went to LFC Durumi to give her testimony cos she got her breakthrough through hearing the word.
She is preganant again..lolzz.. Babe is not smiling,.
Her inlaws are now worshipping her according to her.. I was just grinning all through. I love good news.
She is coping fine,with her healthy kid and her bump.. Ndi otum..lol
God is forever faithful poster one.. read this and know he never sleeps!!!
My dear unlike the yorubas we ask questions before marring off our daughters even the guys family will do same so as to knw the linage the supposed wife/husband is from and to knw if the av any kind of sickness/bad fortune etc in their linage *ijuauju* in oda words we don't do the iyawo sara tin lol...

DeletePoster 2. I pray for you with all of my heart that the most high God in heaven will have mercy on you and bless you with the fruit of the womb. As he did it for Sarah who was very old, yours is no biggie. Keep trusting God, keep praying and keep believing and God will answer you and reward your labour of love. None shall be barren in the land as it is written in the bible, I stand in the gap for you that 9 months from now, according to the time of life, you shall bring forth a healthy, strong and beautiful child to the glory of God.
ReplyDeleteBelieve it. Don't let your faith be shaken. God has done it already.

ReplyDeleteSpill it out!

Poster two: have you tried the insurance method. Pls there are modern ways of getting pregnant as well.
Whilst we are praying for the conventional means, pls try and freeze those eggs of yours, since age is no longer on your side.
I call it the insurance method lol
If push comes to shove , both of you should try artificial insemination( intracervical insemination technique).
You need your hubby sperm.. Since no fertility problem. All would be fine.
Poster 2,I don't kno why but I always feel bad when I hear abt people TTC,don't worry I will stand in your place and bolatito's in our healing service.its well
DeletePoster1:me I dnt still understand dis very barbaric and outdated nonsense,will advice you get really close to the family 1st b4 letting the cat out of the bag.its well
Sabo darlyn,how are you?
DeletePoster 1: you know that Igbo people dont play with that thing (Osu).Sorry for being one but you know it is impossible for your guy's family to agree so stop wishing what you know will never take place.
ReplyDeletePoster 2: You are just 30 years and you are complaining bitterly about not having a child because your husband's people are on your neck abi.
why dont you keep praying and praising God and see what He can do. Afterall one of your pastor was married for 14 years and recently got a child. Keep up your faith, God is not asleep in your case.
@POSTER 1...I thought this osu thing has died long time ago? which part of the east? not sure its anambra.
ReplyDelete@POSTER 2...God is still on the throne. my friend and colleague's wife gave birth few days ago after 10years. they re winners too. Just believe.
Hmmm..poster 1: you re on long thing ooo, igbo pple are very serious abt this *osu* thing oo. Infact one of my cousin sis was denied of getting married cos the guy is *osu*. I don't know wat to say oo, am not wiser than my ancestors. @poster 2: don't worry dia is no competition in destiny, the keeper of israel neither sleeps nor slumbers. When he will remember u baa? You will carry 3 or 4 to make up for the lost years. For the fact you work in his vinyard, he must surely work on yours. Pls be calm and hold your peace he is preparing the most amazing and wonderful kids for you. Stay blessed.
ReplyDeleteP1: until I get a good grasp of what "osu" is all about, no comment. Osu ko, Lasu ni.
ReplyDeleteP2: you'll conceive by God's grace.
Lmao! Na real Osu ko, lasu ni
DeleteLol at lasu ni. Somebody will shout child of God and then talk Osu. You wonder why there is gross underdevelopment
DeleteLADY IGO SAID:
ReplyDeleteYou are not Osu . . .
And he said, 'This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.' Matt. 19:5
Baby, if that man should leave his father's house today and pay your bride price (since your father is ready to accept it), you are his wife!
Yes, that's simple and what are the likely outcomes;
1. The man's family decides to "abandon or disown" him.
2. They "disown him" only to to come around later depending on you and your husband's comportment.
2. they overlook it and support him in spite of people's opinions etc.
Well, to the matter; the Igbo's of the Eastern Nigeria calls "Osu" (a "slave" or "owned by the arusi; gods") folks who were such before the light of Christianity downed on us. However, this is not the standard of Christ;
Jesus replied, "Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. John 8:34
whether one is pastor, Rev., Bishop, knight or day etc. and one is still living in sin (not saved), the fellow is "a slave to sin" but as he said further; in Christ, there is no slave; Gal. 3:28, Col. 3:11.
So beloved, are you in Christ; or are you living in sin . . . for a person is a slave to whatever has mastered one (2 Pet. 2:19). Yes, I'm writing out scriptures because you presented yourself a Christian and you need to discuss these with your husband.
I know a man whose family said same about the lady he was about to marry. After every entreaties and the man's parent refused even from their Priest in the orthodox setting, the young man went ahead and paid the lady's bride price, the church wedded them and they registered their marriage and began their lives. They had 4 kids, 3 boys and a girl. 15 years down the line, the other siblings of this man had no male child (and you know the typical Eastern Nigerians and Africans generally) and the father (a relatively wealthy man) was terminally ill. How does he die with no grand son (even to share in his inheritance). That was when he decided to come to terms with reality. Well, the couple only needed to him to be at peace and didn't bother about the inheritance issue because they had enough. But above all, with good courseling they did not bear grudges and that's the most important.
This is especially to you lady poster. When the time comes, are you going to "pay back" with grudges and eventually imprison yourself in un-forgiveness? That's when you give yourself to "real slavery".
Praying for you to make the right decisions.
Regards.
Lady IGO
Lady IGO!!!! I look forward to reading your comments.
DeleteStay blessed!
What are you saying? Will he go alone to pay the bride price? Her father won't accept it if he comes alone. He must go with his father, his father's people and other relative. That's a sign that their daughter is welcome to the family.
DeleteSo your advice should be for her to tell her her boyfriend to talk to his parents, so they can thrash this once and for all. That way they know their fate. If they run away and do court marriage, they can't do church wedding, can they? Because they should would require their family and friends to be present... And before God, the bride price is the most important..

Poster 1,i really do not know what advice to give as I am Yoruba. All I should advice is for you to let the family get to know you well before disclosing the Osu thing to them,be nice and respectful, assist the mum when you are there,buy them bday,xmas gifts etc. Make them fall in love with you and back it up with prayers. Once they can see you can make a good wife perhaps they will change their minds. Put all in prayers and if they refuse,it isn't the end of the world. sm1 else will love you for you. Poster 2 - Have you been to a proper gynaecologist,done a thorough check-up of your reproductive organs e.g checking ur fallopian tubes,making sure you ovulate monthly. Prayer helps but God help those who help themselves. You've waited for quite a while pls find a fertility center e.g Bridge Clinic and another one, 4goten the name now. They will do a sound check-up and advice you properly wat sort of treatment or maybe assisted conception like IVF etc. All this should be backed with prayers. it is same God that blesses these doctors with knowledge. Please do not depend on prayers alone, this is year 2015. Help yourself and back it up with prayers,becos even the said IVF doesn't work for all,its through divine grace. Please google Bridge Clinic. Good luck
ReplyDeleteMy dear in ibo land except his parents arent alive ,no one will follow him to go pay her bride prize,except he rents papa and mama and uncles that are non ibo
DeleteThis ur advise is just a waste of time. Ask igbo pple wat Osu means. If u like build house 4 d father in law to be, if he says no coz of d Osu ish, it's final
Deleteposter 2
ReplyDeleteWOOW! I have heard stories of this osu issue, it never ends well . only if you and bea decide to runaway and damn all consequences. if u believe in miracles then this is yours about to happen.
ReplyDeleteN2... God is ur strength. DONT LOOSE HOPE.
Poster2 is not ur period u saw...is a miscarriage. it happened to my sis b4 she spoke to a pastor who gave her fasting to do. Find a powerful pastor who is not after money
ReplyDeletePoster 2,,d God of fruitfulness is beside u now,,,He has already heard ur prayr,,,soonsoonsoonnnnn u wl come & testify to His gloryyyyy...
ReplyDeletePoster 1&2 It is well with u.
ReplyDeleteMy friend's Dad who is an enlightened Pastor from Nkpor Anambra almost didn't let his daughter marry a man from the UK because he was an osu, I was dazed? What's d essence of your Christianity? And our freedom in Christ? U would be dazed d dumb things Nigerians hold on to. That's how an unmarried pastor from Afikpo who has lived in America for over 10 years told me he would bring his daughters to his village for circumcision, that it has benefits
Poster 2, u can't conceive by worrying. Ask urself a question : what is the real reason why you want children, is it to please people? To satisfy urself? Or why? My dear, children would come. I'm shocked that u r a Winner, u obviously have no faith in the God of Oyedepo or even in d prayer meeting u r holding, please get busy, focus elsewhere, God's wisdom is infallible, He can not lie, be thanking Him, buy ur baby clothes, let ur faith scare the devil
My dear, when it comes to OSU, there is no friendship there. If you like be the highest ranking church member, if the family of the guy believes in it, you can't do jack oh. For your informations, you guys can't hide it from his folks. By the time they are doing their investigation, it will so reveal itself. Btw osu pikins can be very pretty. Lol

LADY IGO AGAIN:
ReplyDeleteTo the lady who is waiting for the fruits of the womb, I've got one testimony to share;
A particular lady (in Abuja), wife of a missionary was childless for 10 years. One New Year, she woke up and told the husband very intimate things she had hidden from him (past abortions, grievances towards those who opposed their marriage etc.) Finally, she began her usual first month fast with her husband for the year (6-6pm) and eating only fruits at noon on some occasions; that was the much she could do. On the 30th of January, of that year, she developed "malaria fever" and took the medications; nothing. She went to the hospital for check up (she was vomiting). The doctor sent her for Urine test and lo she was pregnant. When she doubted the doctor, the later connected the ultrasound gadget to her tummy and lub, dub, dub . . .two hearts were beating on the screen. She broke down and wept . . .
Good wishes.
LADY IGO
for the second story if God can do it for me, he will do it for any one, believe and trust in him, don't have any alternative, i bet you with my life he will surprise you this year in Jesus name Amen.
ReplyDeletePoster 1: I can't remember the last time I heard about this osu stuff. I for one do not believe in it. Meet his parents first. They might forget about this osu tin after meetinng with u especially if u are a likeable person.
ReplyDeletePoster 2: May the Lord that blessed Elizabeth with a son answer your prayers and grant u ur heart desire this year.
D "osu" tin is a very serious issue,especially amongst Imo people.even d ones dat claim to be strict christians stills don't want any of their children to marry an osu and dats sad.we pray it will stop with dis our generation.
ReplyDelete@ Ijeoma you are very correct. No one wants to be tag with "OSU" even Christians. Oboi I feel pity for the poster but why wait when you no the family won't accept you. This is the same reason your sisters are not married. OSU has been there and would remain there.
DeleteBabes no need to lie for you, only one third of free born can "Mistakenly" Marry an OSU. why some after they have made the mistake they divorce the person.
Babes just forget Ibo Man or you look for a fellow Osu.
go search love else where, look for other tribe ooo. Before you end up hurting yourself because with what you said the parents of the boy Will never accept you and if you and the boy go ahead and marry each other they must disown you two.
I wish it never existed but I won't want my kids and siblings to fall victim because this OSU discrimination no be here.
Before my Marriage to my hubby my people made same inquiry because of OSU and come to think of it my parents na church people too
Nne Sorry and take heart.
Poster 2. God will bless your womb with twins, triplet etc. I use my self as a point of contact to you am Mother of Twins. God will make you laugh soon. This will be your last period till next 9Months. Amen
DeletePoster 2 I pray for u, u shall be a blessing, ur children shall surround ur table and u will see ur children-children IJN
DeleteDear God, I join hands with your daughter looking up to you for the fruit of the womb and pray that you wipe away her tears and bless her with children, in Jesus name Amen.
ReplyDeleteThe second narrative avtuly brought tears to my eyes , u need to have gone through this to understand what she's going through, I know u have bin praying but try and speak to ppl who are experienced,try raising ur legs up Nd reading about stuffs that can enhance ur fertility, I know God will see u tru dis phase dear, narr 1, idnt understand this Osu of a thing cos am not ibo, some ppl who attend Orthodox Church dnt believe in the new creation which is the new generation church way of thinking which I believe in, I was born into d Anglican Church but am now attending a Pentecostal church and idnt believe in Osu or whatever, tell ur fiancé not to directly tel his parents about it, if they find out for themselves it's better than u telling them
ReplyDeleteHear her... 'I'm not getting younger' Getting desperate already, at 26. What have you achieved with your Life in this your so called old age. Start thinking about other things to make yourself Happy, Marriage will come when its time.I pray for your elder ones to get married, as for you calm down.
ReplyDeletePoster 2 God will hear your cries soon.
Her elder ones are probably 27 28 and 29 and she is here talking they are not married mschew
DeletePoster 1, I'm so sorry for your situation.
ReplyDeletePlease, since his father is already tending towards the 'God forbid!' direction, prepare yourself for the worst.
I wish you can even look outside the Igbo tribe but I know 7 years is a long time and you don't want to think about giving up now.
I know an igbo 'non-osu/diala' lady who went ahead to marry her 'osu' boyfriend against her family's wish.
Today, she is the only one among her sisters doing exceptionally well. Her marriage is thriving. She and her husband are supporting her family so much so that they have eaten back their words.
I do not know what will happen in your case but if you have to do it again, just look outside your tribe. It is safer that way.
Poster 1: keep praying about it and let him bring it up with his family. The earlier you know how they feel the better. You are young and can move on with your life. I know how painful it is, but nothing is impossible for God.
ReplyDeletePoster 2: my dear, stop stressing. Stress is #1 factor most women can't give birth when they want. I am speaking from experience. I am pregnant with my second baby. I know what I went through, we had to do fertility test, flushing, etc and yet nothing happened. When we finally calmed down and lived our lives, boom baby #1. We were in shock. We could not believe it even when we were going to prenatal care. Baby #2 came at God's time too. This one just came when my body was ready and stress free. My OBGYN always advice us to stress less because it changes your body composition. Just pray and get your mind off it. Download apps to let you know when your ovulation period is coming etc. start taking prenatal vitamins if you are not taking it yet.
NN2: sorry abt ur present state.. Nothing is permanent in lyf. U must testify cos all u r facing now must surely end in praise. God has decreed ds year 2015 t b a fruitful year n bcos none shall b barren in d land u will conceive ds year. Just move d hand of God n begin t shop f baby things. Dnt forget t sing praises n thank God f making u a mother already. Pls dnt giv up cos God wud Neva eva giv up on u. Cheers!
ReplyDelete@1, so in this modern age people still talk about this OSU nonsence, I will advice ur guy not tell tell his parents cos I don't think is necessary a beg.
ReplyDelete@2, May God help u, hope u still take folic acid & preg care conception, good luck.
Poster 2 pls don't give up.. u shall testify.. God will wipe ur tears and u shall have ur children in Jesus name Amen.. u have to be strong now.. get dis prayer book and always use it "our daily manna and war against haman" give praises to God.. its well..
ReplyDeletePOster 1 I am from Imo and they take this Osu thing serious, just prepare ur mind 4 d worst incase his parents refuse.. God will give u an d dat won't bother about d osu
Poster 1,osu is very strong in igbo land,though am from obosi in Anambra state,we hv abolished osu but places where dey hv osu, dey dnt marry dem.its better d parents r involved now b4 it's too late so dat u will knw ur stand.if it's doesn't work, pls dnt try and force urself into that family cos u will alwys be treated as a slave and ur kids will be affected,try and look 4 love outside igbo land cos most igbo men won't marry an osu.
ReplyDeletePoster 2- I also had infertility, mine was bilateral tubal blockage,i took one herbal drug,kolaq herbal and I hv 3 kids now.All d pple I introduced d herb to r mothers now and it's not expensive like 4k per bottle.pls google kolaq herbal to get their info, it's being a long time.if it doesn't work for u plss start iVF.i wish u all d best.Our lord never fails.Baby dust
Darling,u said u r the leader of group praying for the fruit of the womb amidst other things i am sure,right now 4 have been blessed and all that,i will start by saying sometimes even the devil knows how to fight children of God especially in these bad times we are.What i mean is u urself might not even be strong in faith or u might not even be spiritually fortified.
ReplyDeleteNow u have to check urselves for that because those who seem to pray with and for people often have the challenge of the world on their shoulders and cannot sort theirs out.
For now pls concentrate on praying for urself for ptotection aagainst all sorts, then believe in God and stop crying.God will suprise u in his time.
P1...So you and this guy did not discuss this issue since? You are now going up against a tradition that some families are so blind to accept. I wish you luck. I hate the osu business but some people still embrace it...tufia.
ReplyDeleteP2...God bless you and I want you to know that a testimony will come for you. Hold on to God ok, also my sister if you can afford it why not try IVF? Your husband knows it is not your fault or his so he cant act up. I pray for a testimony for you soon in Jesus name
Igbos are just animls, what is "osu"? Didn't God make us all equal? Yet, they'll be caring Bible on their heads and forming Catholic and Charistmatic!
ReplyDeleteWhite man go discriminate us, we go follow discriminate each other, na wah o!
Dear poster 1, let your bf talk to his parents about his intention of marring you, he needs not tell them you're "osu" abi why label you? He wants to marry his babe, simple! They may not even bother to dig that much about you and just give their consent. If they now go digging on their own, find out and say he can't marry you and you love each other, just take each other to a registry and do your thing, by the time you start having babies, them go accept and if they don't abeg bone, life is too short to miss out on the beautiful thing called love, some go a lifetime searching unsuccessfuly for it. Good luck dear.
Poster 2, may God, from His holy throne answer your prayers, the Lord is with you dear.
SHARONNA
Dear Sharonna, in one breath, you made TWO contradicting statements "did God not make us all equal?" "Igbos are animals"...count your beautiful teeth with your tongue.

Wot is OSU btw, I thot Jesus Christ hv abolished such trash on d corss of Calvary f us. Nawa o, God help us. Som aspects of our culture are barbaric.
ReplyDeletePoster 1 - You are not an Osu, you're a new creature in Chrits so don't bring up the topic of Osu again, you don't have to mention it to anyone for it's not part of your anymore, Romans 8:1a - "There is therefore now NO CONDEMNATION for those who are in CHRIST JESUS......."
ReplyDeletePoster 2 - I'll join you in Prayers, this is just a test & God will not allow you go through all this without makng you come out with smiles, I understand how you feel, went through such before I took in, I read some scriptures & I quote them every single day, I stopped praying for it and started the prayer of thankingsgiving, (I would say "Thank You Lord for My Baby, Thank You for I'm Pregnant). I waited for the manifestation which finally came, read these scriptures daily, they'll remind you of God's love, Psalm 127:3, Jeremaih 29:13, 1 Corin 2:9, Heb 13:6, Isaiah 41:10, Mark 11:23-24, Phil 4:6 & 13, Phil1:6, Prov 3:5, Matt 7:7-8, Isaiah 40:31, Let me stop here, there're more but theses should go a long way, they would strengthen you, write them down in a book or any item you can carry around, read them every morning & night, meditate on them & soon, these words would manifest, have faith my dear, God is still working, He can't withhold good things from His own. Love You Dear.
God will help you .
ReplyDeleteTry IVF before its too late. Please see a good gynea. If you are in Abuja see Dr Wada

ReplyDeletePoster 1: I don't usually interfare with this Osu ish. D fact is, many people take it serious, knight or deacon or pastor. My frnd will say Jesus did not come to abolish the law but to mend it. Wish my dad was back 4rm work, would av asked him. He has answers for everything, a wise man indeed. God bless you papa
Madam you're the "causer" of your problems, from your write ups you're the one calling yourself names.
ReplyDeleteWhat's Osu?
Do people still believe in that shit?
Do yourself a favour and stop calling u an Osu.
Poster two, You made my cry. May God grant you your heart desires, in due time will you testify
poster 2, visit the hospital and try ivf, u can follow nicole d fertile chick to learn more abbt infertility
ReplyDeleteThis Osu ish hmm..
ReplyDeleteI don't know where you from exactly, but I know people from Arodizougu don't believe in Osu.
I'm guessing you are a catholic, involve a priest that his parents hold on high esteem, I know they always preach against Osu and pray like your life will end if you don't. Say the Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Help and visit the Blessed Sacrament.
Also don't allow anybody make you feel you are less than Human;
Osu a.k.a Outcast are those who have been dedicated to the gods of the land either as a messenger of the priest, or maybe the person ran to the shrine for protection.
Let me tell you some hard truth once you get married to him, your husband won't have a say in family gatherings, your kids are not left out and watch out for those village meeting women. The day my mum told me what they do in village meetings i laughed my heart out, they buy & sell and gossip. jobless lot. Only active when there's a wedding and burial ceremony to attend and nmechi meeting(end of year party).
I'll leave the Odogwu women to explain further.
#2 It has ended in praise. You will come here and testify that the Lord is faithful. I believe when you are pregnant, start shopping for baby items.
Chielo..I am from arondizuogu and I am so proud of dat town..Aro ppl I general have been way ahead of every one else in civilization. . Osu has never been recognised in the history of the Aro people. It is only mediocres and illiterates that believe in dat crap. I once had a roomate who studied history and she told me her lecturer said all Aro ppl are osu's simply bcos we dont acknowledge it..I just had to laugh and all I thought was dat d lecturer must be an educated illiterate. These are one of the reasons africa has not progressed. Sometimes when I hear we blacks complaining of racism injust laugh.. many of d blacks that arr discriminated against come home and are tribalist. They hate other tribes with a passion yet they open their stupid mouths to say whites are racist! If u cannot love ur fellow black skinned person, will u blame d whites for not loving u? Then is osu thing is the worst of the worst. U have ppl of the same trribe as u. Yet u will hear them shouting how whites are racist and how they didnt get a job bcos they are not yoruba or hausa! Bloody hypocrites. It is something as stupid as osu discrimination that will lead so many ppl to hell
DeletePoster 2, see a fertility expert and start making plans for IVF. The world has gone beyond the level of just complaining, I've seen & know so many women who have gotten pregnant through these treatments. I believe in the efficacy of prayer but still try to the treatment,time waits for no one.
ReplyDeletePoster 1, let them get to know you personally before any osu matter is brought up .osu oka n'eme di exist. O chim!.

ReplyDeleteNarrative 1 : unless your bf wants to go against his parents and become sworn enemies with them, Dats when he will marry you... narrative 2: try ivf but with God all things are possible
ReplyDeletePoster 1... I feel you and I know the Osu of a thing is a serious issue with the eastern side of the country, most of my friends that know this early avoid relationship with the eastern guys and marry from other tribe... But God is still God he will perfect all that concerns you
ReplyDeletePoster 2.... I think with technology, nothing again is impossible either go for IVF, SURROGATE
I have friends that pump their stomach and after nine months, they disappear and plan with their doc for an available baby for adoption and then come back to testify that they have born their baby...
Baby is baby, you need someone to call you mummy...but train the baby well oooo
There are lots of ways to birth babies now in order to have peace of mind
Poster try any and remain in your marriage
P1, i have been hearing about Osu but i dont know how effective the thing is. I dont even know if it was a curse placed on certain generation past or a culture that was not acceptable, but one thing i know for sure, the God that created the Osu's is the same God that created the non Osu. He will do a new thing. P2, the God of miracles is still in the act of doing wonders. Just keep your faith higher and be stronger. In no time you would testify and its gonna be this year in Jesus name.

ReplyDeleteFaith dear means leave it all to God! Stop checking your period every month. Stop imagining the sperm fertilizing your egg each time you make love. Stop stop stop! You need to trust in God, hand all over to Him. Do that which you can do which is to eat healthy, take your vitamins and exercise! God is not sleeping,I hope you know that. The pregnancy will not come when you are most anxious about it but when you least expect it.
Wishing you all the best!!!
#2 God is still God, He will surely wipe away your tears.
ReplyDeleteStella whr my comment
ReplyDelete#1 Some people I know married osu and still living and making babies.
ReplyDeleteI don't usually talk about it because some places in Igboland is still a serious abomination.
Dear poster 2...may God rembr u n bless u with many children as u want in Jesus name...Amen!! Don't let ur faith faint, believe!!
ReplyDeleteMy dear,start praying now!!!! I was in same situation cos my husband's family was labeled same. My dad is late so his brothers were against our marriage.my mum and I stood our ground and today,am happily married. It won't be easy but its all in your fiancés' hands. He should try and convince one of his parents that he's closer to,then the other could be handled but before all these,pray that he is indeed your husband and worth the stress. You both need to be strong cos the pressure and opposition wont be easy. Be prepared for the worst cos even some so called pastors spoke against it. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteMy friend's sisters have gotten married and my friend's own is coming up ds year and they're osu from Owerri nchi-ise. old story to some pple shah.
ReplyDeletePoster 1:pls trust God in all situations,he knows the beginning from ending,nothing is worth killing yourself for,i have a close friend who dated a guy and was living in his house for 4years,they did introduction and was preparing for trad marriage,the man is question loved her and was very responsible Bt my dear they found out she was Osu and the family that loved her said they wouldn't allow their son marry her,she wento her pastor to talk to him and his people but my dear they didn't bulge.she wept! Bt is happily married now to someone from her place.pls let them know and if they gree,fine,if not,believe you wil get a greater love because our God is faithful ok!
ReplyDeletePoster2: heavenly father pls bless your daughter with her hearts desire,weeping may tarry at night but mummy your joy wil come in the morning.i join my faith with yours in this request!it is done.
Some traditions are just a nuisance! Osu ke...!!!
ReplyDeletePoster 1: the Osu thing has been in eastern part of our country since 1800. Nobody likes it but nobody wants their children to be the first to break it. My dear friend ended a 5 years relationship because of it, when her family said is a no go area. Is not looking like the family will shift ground my dear. Prepare your mind for the worst. Good luck
ReplyDeleteWhats with IBOs and OSU are they not humans? This is the 21st century for crying out loud........Go ahead and marry that guy pls.
ReplyDeletePoster2....If he did it before, he'll do it again, same God right now, same God back then,he did it for Sarah and Hannah IJN
Poster 1, its very sad that osu still exists. My advice is, let ur bf inform his parents that u are an osu and see the outcome. If his parents refuse, leave him. Pls don't waste ur youthful years in a relationship that has no future
ReplyDeletePoster 2: I pray that the God whom you serve and is too faithful to fail would not let this year pass you by IJN. Amen
ReplyDeletePoster 2.....
ReplyDeletePlease relax your mind. I believe GOD is at work. There is nothing impossible for him to do. Hold on to him, he never fails...
I promise, i won't forget you in my prayers.....
Am here to read comments....
They r saying u should 4get d Osu ish and marry...they won't tell u how u will be separated 4rm others, called names and do all sort of wicked things to u. Ask d pple who went thru it, how long it took dem and how they survived. I am not supporting d Osu ish but babe look b4 u leap to avoid chronicles later. 7yrs is a long time but I will advise u to look 4 love outside d igbo tribe. 26 is not yet old my dear. Above all, talk to ur father in heaven. Pray and fast about the ish and if u guys r meant to be, u will be. If u marry him and u guys start suffering, u will receive all d blame same as when u guy will start enjoying, they will praise u. Can u withstand what will come after coz temptations must come and
ReplyDeleteNo 1, ur case is not too much if only u can work it out.
ReplyDelete1, Embark on deliverance prayers nd once u r delivered from osu spirit u will see it live in your dream.
I kn of pple who were delivered nd 2day they r happily married with kids nd they r also enjoying cordial relationship with their inlaws.
2, If u can't go for deliverance, move out of eastern region if you r staying in d east nd advice ur sisters to relocate if they want to marry.
3, Don't get pregnant for him nd believe his pple will accept u bcos of d baby. Even if it is twins, they will push u out with the community knowing abt it.
I repeat, go for serious deliverance prayer or relocate to non igbo state ASAP.
Stop talking abt age because u r still a young girl. Am 32 still single nd believing God for my life partner.
Goodluck.

Any bv here wry need surrogate mum I'm willing and it's free I'm tired of wasting my eggs every month. Let me use it to put a smile on someone face .
ReplyDeleteThis life sha. Here I am pregnant and asking God y he gave it to me? I have d most useless husband on earth n just wen I want to step out, I test positive to pregnancy. Today my good morning was ' ur stupidity embarasses me'. God ll hear your prayer, I know he will. He is with you
ReplyDeleteI key into all the prayers for poster 2, I therefore decree and declare that we will carry our babies in the next 9 months by His grace and mercy. And for all those who are trusting the Lord for babies. Amen.
ReplyDeletePoster 1, I think you were careless about your situationship.
ReplyDeleteYou knew you are from the Osu lineage and you believe in it and yet you went ahead to date an Igbo man.
Life is all about planning. You should have looked for love elsewhere.
I'll suggest you ad your boyfriend should relocate out of the country and get married.
Wish you luck.
Poster 1: your boyfriend has no introduced you to his family, yet he's so flippant on informing his dad that you re 'OSU' simply because he wants to end the relationship with you in pretense that it's his dad's decision. My dear, take off your hills and quit now before your fears happen. Poster 2: You will testify within the next one year.
ReplyDeleteOsu and ume still exist. Yes it's our tradition. Well we dont treat them bad in our village, but we cant marry them and they too will never cross that line too. So it's better nne forget àbt it cos your BF wont marry you. Omenala igbo ga-adi. Church or no Church., #Ndewoo. #nwaOwerri.
ReplyDeleteMy dear poster 1,osu is a serious thing,the knights take it serious,pls just take a walk,he won't marry U,it won't happen,U still hv enuf time. Look for osu and marry,advice Ur sisters too,they shld date and marry osu,simple. Marriage is honourable.
ReplyDeleteTo poster one,u said U are a winner,U will get answer soon,U shld believe U are a citizen of heaven,heaven on earth,wonders without end,I also want U to always have dis in mind that marriage is honourable,fruit of the womb is the reward of marriage and children are the heritage,have faith,be strong,stay in faith,do not let ur worrying over ride Ur faith. Tkcr of U.
Narr1...Igbos don't take this Osu thing likely at all. It will take only the grace of God for your man's family to accept you,just remain positive and table your burdens to the most high God...It will all end in praise. Narr2...Receive your miracle baby Ijn, amen.
ReplyDeleteEven the bible says "give unto Ceasar what belongs to Ceasar. ...Poster, that marriage will not hold. No matter how enlightened an igbo man is, the osu thing is a no go area....It is what it is, move on!
ReplyDeleteMay God open up your womb.....Hold on, HE makes all things beautiful. ...
Poster one,i m not Igbo,let my igbo sisters advise u.poster 2!i can totally relate with u as we re in d same shoe..only dat u re lucky ur hussy s still in love with u..mine has bin jinxed by a strange woman,they have even rented an apartment together ,d lady asked my husband dat dey shld relocate dat it is children dat bring chldren!imagine!rite now,my husband dnt speak to me,m all alone.i dnt pray,fast tire..i carry hs pics around for prayer as am walking am praying.it iis only God dat will help me.n u too poster God will do it IJN.amen
ReplyDelete@ narrative 1, this Osu thing is something dat I dnt like talking abt cos my cousin sis got married to dis osu guy 11 yrs ago n they r yet to hv a child, m late dad told me dat osu is real #confused face# @ narrative 2 like stella kork adviced U to hold on ur faith, pls be reminding God of his promises about children and none shall be barren in d land, cos I knw dat he's a God that honors his WORD more than his NAME. I see U carrying a set of twins, Amen
ReplyDeleteDoes it means all the beautiful innocent girls that have no idea what or when the bullshit title was laid on them are virgins ?
ReplyDeleteIf they are not, it means someone fucked the OSU na a, making you an OSU whether you marry her or not .
I read about that shit then and still can't make head or tail out of it .
my dear poster, i can stand on top of the valley and say that your man truly love you .
Don't rush to tell the parents since their son have been bedding you making him one if such does share a place in people's life .
let them know you for who you are .
Be yourself, don't turn to sister I too holy .
if that guy is yours, nothing will come between the two of you .
I wish you the best .
Narrative 1, it's so painful for one to experience dis osu stuff but I fear ur chances of getting married to your love maybe very slim bcs over time & in past years, d church has tried it's best possible to abort dis barbaric tradition but to no avail. Xtians are so unrepentant towards it. My brother was supposed to marry a gal he was dating but we eventually discovered she's an Osu & d relationship was cut off immediately. Where I came from in Anambra State, if u marry such without listening to ur kingsmen, u will be excommunicated from d family & kingsmen & will also be tagged an Osu, no family member will want to have any dealings wt u & ur immediate family, so nobody wants to go thru such. It such a pity in dis age & time but I pray ur inlaw to be have an open mind towards it & gives their son d go ahead, wish u guys luck! Narrative 2; D woman wt d issue of d fruit of d womb, God will grant d desires of her heart but if she's in Abuja, i'll like to invite her to a program in my church next friday called Fruitful Service Friday bcs Non shall be barren. God uses his servant to bless people seeking for of d womb. She can reach me on nellycee02@gmail.com for more details. God bless u.
ReplyDeleteI thought naija was less traditional than this, make I run from igbo men then...fax I have igbo frnds, 7yrs of one's life is not beans.
ReplyDeleteP1. Pls try & take d advices of our igbo family, it's goin 2 b hard, but try oda tribes
P2. The God that rules over the heavens & the earth will do it 4 u.
