NARRATIVE NUMBER ONE
BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA
BETWEEN THE DEVIL AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA
Good day Stella,
I'm an ardent reader of your blog but I have never commented. I'm a 27year old girl, a pharmacist, single, been working for 3years now, earning a reasonable income(at least my basic needs are covered).
I'm an ardent reader of your blog but I have never commented. I'm a 27year old girl, a pharmacist, single, been working for 3years now, earning a reasonable income(at least my basic needs are covered).
Let me start from where my relationship became really serious before BV’s would do a body count check on me. I schooled in the South-South region of Nigeria, precisely the home of runs girls. Met a guy in 2010 ,we dated till 2014…we broke up in 2014 based on “irreconcilable differences”(I love that word…*grins*)no case of infidelity, or i being materialistic, or bad sex…I guess we were always at loggerheads, forgetting I was dealing with an Ibo man, I tend to get a little obstinate.
Between 2014-2015, we reconciled more times than I can count. He’s really a good friend, a substitute father, an adopted elder brother and my Akwa-Ibom spirit just made sex out of this world. When the “come-backs” were becoming recurrent I had to end it finally because it felt like he was taking my affections for granted. One reason I also ended it was because I noticed I was confused as regards his generosity.
When I was in school, he was footing the bills but when I started working, I wasn’t seeing the money again, I tried to be understanding but the materialistic side of me that has been suppressed by love just couldn’t take it especially when I hear tales of my friend’s boyfriends slapping them with money.
Then, I met this light skinned guy early 2016…'baffed’ me with attention, the communication was on point, he has a thriving business, a sleek ride *shines 32* and generous. He totally swept me off my feet, I was just happy that finally my banging body has landed me a good catch (I beg I don taya for broke guys).To avoid confusion I would name my 2010-2014 ex (long head) and the light skinned guy (round head).
Round head was cool the 1st month of our relationship though he could go overboard with the calls. He could call like 5 times a day, at first it was unsettling but I was willing to cope with it, 2nd month I started seeing his TRUE COLORS, by the 3rd month, it became RAINBOW COLORS; I was seeing so many negative attributes at the same time, he was always suspecting my every move, the relationship got choky even the money I was getting wasn’t important anymore. Let me list some of his negative attributes.
He’s insecure, possessive, unnecessarily jealous, petty, kind of talks like a woman when he’s angry, showing little signs of domestic violence, kind of abusive and to crown it all, he has a small “weapon of mass destruction…..mass destruction ke…no destruction sef", I get all giggly when he comes in; I just had to convert my giggles to moans. So he won’t feel bad. Even with the not so good sex, I was willing to adjust (e go hard sha) so long as he drops his bad attitude…anyways I broke up with him in May.
Long head is a monitoring spirit, whenever I get into a relationship, he would just come from nowhere and start saying the same old story. Most times, I end up going back to him but when I met Round Head I stood my grounds and gave him an emphatic NO! He was shocked to stupor but he allowed me rest.
Now Long Head is back again, saying he was committed but shy that’s why we’ve been having ups and downs and he wants to get married to me (he’s 34).
Round head has apologized to me saying he would work on his attitude that I should give him another chance (he’s 32).
Hmmmnnn….I don’t want to go back to Round Head again even if he decides to change, the probability of him changing completely is slim, I don’t want to send chronicles of domestic violence 3years later. Then there’s the problem of the “small equipment’.
Stella, I like big things ooo…Long Head sef, his not-so generous spirit is equally a thing to worry about, I can’t be using my money for everything. After all, the children would bear their father's name.
Madam Stella….i need your red ink; dear BV’s, I equally need your bad mouth and constructive criticism.
*HMMMM!!!

NARRATIVE NUMBER TWO
OUTCAST BROUHAHA.
Good day Stella.
Am a bv and seeking relationship advice from my fellow bv's and your red pen also.
I have been dating this guy for almost 4 years now. He's been waiting for me to graduate so we tie the knot. The issue is I come from a home where my parents didn't give us room to bring our friends especially opposite sex home.
Fast forward to Nov 2015 and he's wanting to marry me since I am through with school, told my parents about him and like typical Igbo parents they went to do a background check on him. They later called me to say it won't work, reason being that his mum's mum is an OSU.
Igbo's here can relate.
We both love each other, and I was told not to even tell him, that I should call off the relationship. I tried all possible to plead but it fell on deaf ears especially my dad.
Please I need advice on what to do next. Igbo's here help out with this OSU/UMEH/DIALA issue, anybody that has been in same situation and Stella's red pen.
Thanks in anticipation.
*My dear i dont know anything about this at allll..i have heard about it though and have friends who are Osu...One thing i know about the Osu's is that they are always well educated and rich,everything they touch turns to gold.
What's Osu Umeh diala?
ReplyDeleteOSU mean being an outcast
DeleteDon't know about umeh and diala
True Stella. Everything they touch turns to gold. I know one
DeletePoster1: from ur chronicle ,u sound like an unserious person n a retired runs girl.
DeleteBtw,what is home of runs girls?
Get over urself
Poster 2: don't let ur parent stop u from marrying the Man u love.
DeleteDude is not osu but his mothers mother according to ur parent.......being an osu don't have any negative effect on u or anybody.
Osu is not practiced again.........just tell ur parent that u are pregnant for the guy or u can even get pregnant to trap them
I heard in the olden days,the osu's dedicated their lives and generations to an "Arusi" for protection,so normal people discriminate against them but christianity has abolished it though some parts of igbo's still silently discriminate against them
DeletePoster 1, you sound so so confused, what do you really want? Is it big equipment (according to you) you want or someone who is loaded? Cos from your write up it seems you r so confused on who to go for, maybe you should give youself sometime to really think it tru... poster 2,no idea..
DeletePoster 1, you are not serious, please do write us again when you mean biz.
DeletePoster 2. I know that you know what 'osu' means, not that I believe in it, but the fact that your parents are not in support, I will advice that you take a step back, you never know...
@portable viv, I totally second your thoughts
DeleteHaa in as much as I don't surpport discrimination,but ibos take things like dis very serious,before I married,my dad had to go underground to verify my hubby's place,was very surprise wen they told me that hubby them and clean/thats what they call people that are not osu or ohu,wen they were all doing all the underground, I had no idea,i doubt if ur dad will ever bless dat marriageoo,but pray and fast about itoo
DeleteIf peeps want to write in chronicles, I think they should be serious about it! We aint playing here!!!
DeleteThe matter never bother u reach poster1, that's y u narrating jokingly like we are doing a 'write-up contest'!!!!
Dunno y stella posted this!
Poster 2, I dunno anything abt osu either but i'm sure bvs who's got ideas on that will help u out.
I think u should pray to God to help your parents understand as they are the major force here. You knw u cant go against dre wish and marry who they told u nt to marry.
Parents' blessings in marriage is key!
Whatever you do @poster1, don't trade anything for the preeq! Ever!
DeleteHhmmmmm!!!Osu,Umeh. Being tagged Umeh is worse than osu. The good their ancestors did,turned out to be evil to their generation. If you travel to the village,Osu/nndi Umeh live within the market square,and not among Dialas.However,they prosper more than dialas,but are always relegated.I had an osu friend,and my father almost disowned me#sad
DeleteOosu ko unilag ni tabi unaab.
DeleteYou better marry am before the mama turn to uniben @ 2nd poster
Umeh ké? I have a friend that has that surname ooo UMEH, does that mean hee.families are Osu....igbo peps make una explain to us better, what is Osu? What is Umeh? What is Dials?
DeleteJesus Christ will fix it
ReplyDeleteMy dear poster 2 in love with an OSU" your parents will never bless your marriage cos the OSU thing is so real in IBO land.infact they will wash their hands... anything u see u go use your head carry am.
DeleteP1, next time you want to entertain BVs about to whorish life, don't name your tribe. Don't come answer shame we Akwa Ibom girls here abeg. Mumu. Banging body ko, public toilet ni. When your body has pulled 15 good men, we'll help you to choose. I can't waste my time comparing 2 jokers aka fuck boys.
Delete@ LA'creamie just say its real in your own side of igbo, am from Anambra state, besides where I come from we do not know what is Osu
DeleteThis Osu thing is more recognized in Imo and Abia.
To poster 2.it means your family are not Christians, if not why would they stop you from marrying to the love of your life because of Osu, please is there any place in the Bible where osu was mentioned? Please someone help me out cos I have not read about it.
@Ekunie Ify, say the one you know and stop proving or countering what you don't know. I am from Anambra too, Nnewi precisely and no true son of Anaedo will marry an Osu.
DeleteAnd from anambra 2,I started hearing of osu, den my mum used to give sign,they call dem lefty,anytime we are with them gistin, and u there not call them osu to their face, they might kill u sef
DeleteAnon 16:52 bhet why evils tho pahahahaha I yam dead @ banging body ko public toilet ni LWKMD!!!! You hit the nail on head @ the fuck boy statement mtchew
Delete@Nzube izuu u are my sister ooo... am from Nnewi too and also an Anaedo. Ekunie Ify my people don't marry OSU" and OSU" is recognize in anambra than IMO or abia,I don't know the kind Anambra u come from.
Delete@ LA creamie and nzube izuu, whatever, please always ask questions inugo, I too is from Idemili North, in my own town we does not recognized osu, in fact we don't know what is Osu in my own town inugo
DeleteI heard about it through a friend from imo state for the first time while in school, then I asked from my grandpa who happens to be a traditional chief, he told me that our people do not have osu in my town at all.
You all will be forming Christian, where is your faith, nonsense
You can't marry them but can fuck them and spend their money, who is cheating who?
Ekunie Ify, I agree with your thoughts on being a Christian but yet discriminating. We were al created by God for heaven's sake. Which one be OSU again. Atimes I feel these IBOs don't really love themselves. How will the Biafra they are fighting for work. Smh
DeleteChaiii idemili north and u don't know of osu? Same idemili in nnewi or another one. Nne I am beginning to suspect u.sigbuo one gi na asi
DeleteI'm from Anambra as well and we don't recognize osu oo... in fact I also heard it from my Imo friends in school and had to ask my parents about it. They said it's no longer practiced and we're Christians so no discrimination. BUT poster 2, if your family is still stuck in the past be ready to reason with them. Are you all christians? I don't understand its even his grandmother on his mom's side. Talk to your parents or take a walk.
Delete@Ekunie Ify, am also from Idemili north and we recognize OSU in my hometown. I remember my Dad telling of a particular kinsmen in my town that are OSU. I think what your grandpa meant is that ur hometown doesn't have any of them but it doesn't mean its not obtainable in other towns.
Delete@poster2 the truth is that OSU is a serious thing in ibo land even with Christianity. But the decision is yours to make so please do it with your head not your heart. Make sure the guy is totally worth it cos its not going to be easy. Let me give u an idea of what you're going into if u decide to marry him: ur family will likely disassociate themselves from you for fear of being ostracized by your village kinsmen, no visitation from your siblings and parents,the non OSU villagers in the guys village will not also associate with you and later in life your children may face the same fate especially the girls as non OSU Ibo's will not want to marry them.
In fact there a whole lot of discrimination for anybody tagged with OSU in ibo land. So please pray very well, think well before you make this decision, so you don't live to regret it everyday of your life especially for your kids.
@poster1 pls grow up first then send your chronicles later.
I find Narr 1 very stupid.
ReplyDeleteNot only stupid but annoying too... 😴😴
DeleteLongHead, round head,dump them and wait for oblong head.
DeleteShe's not stupid...she is just funny and doesn't take life personal😂 someone like me! I no sabi serious
Delete@ Narrative one, keep searching "Square Head" is around the corner ok?
DeleteLol @square head
DeleteStella not all Osu's are rich but one in the family of an Osu's are always stupidly stinking rich. My elder sister married we discovered after she had birth the first child... They behave like agwu(igbos can relate) the demons policing the curse of Osu spans from generation to generation so easy oohh.. Money is truly not everything u know
DeleteMay God deliver all the ndi ibo kwenus!! Amen🙏
DeleteAt the first paragraph I found narrative 1 very unserious. Like really? What are you even saying? Who made south south the home of runs girls? Or anywhere else in Lagos? I'm a southerner and I live in Lagos and I've seen girls from every tribe (even Hausa) do runs. So stop saying trash and take your hungry vagina for advice else where.
DeleteThank you Chikito. Leave the silly girl. I just lost interest in her story at that point.
DeleteP1, diary of runs girl. P2, speechless.
ReplyDeleteShe just likes good things naa!
DeleteNo be matter of runs geh!
Some dey fuck for free
Some dey fuck n get lucky..lol
Shey u get.....heehaaaa
@blackberry exactly ooo
DeleteHow many girls fuxk their broke ass boyfriends here and when they get money finish ,na to break heart remain 😂
She's a desperado!! Why put up with a guys bullshit because he gives you money. High runs girl tendencies. Very high!!
DeleteI'm suspecting thus ibukunoluwa is the poster 1 in disguise
@Chikito if I catch u ehn
DeleteMe that I'm not even 25yrs yet
U want to come and be adding age for me bah
I'm a typical Yoruba ...
I just dey catch fun with comments nii jare😂
Hahahaha STELL's advice to poster two is advice @everything they touch turns into gold as wizkid that they is 😁
ReplyDeleteAnything they touch might turn to diamond, but its the Igbo tradition to ask(igba nju) about the other persons family
DeleteHahaha!! Ngwanu clap for yourself! As Wizkid that you are now!! The thunderrrrr! 😂😂👏🏾👏🏾
DeletePoster 1, you are an all round good catch according to you, yet you are confused about two men whose negatives you can't cope with.
ReplyDeleteWhy not take a break from both of them or keep playing along till you meet a different man probably with an "oval head" perhaps, who will be all what you seek.
Poster 2 I don't know anything about this Igbo tradition but are your parents not Christians? Aren't you one? Oh well I hope you find your answers.
Same here. Osu caste system thing should not be an issue anymore. Don't get y her parents r being difficult
DeleteWhether Christians or not tradition is tradition
DeleteLol@oval head
DeleteOval head oh. Lmao
Delete@Poster 1, you're not ready for marriage abeg, continue tasting and sampling, you still have years ahead you now. Long throat and big mass destruction go end you where you want.
ReplyDelete@Poster 2, I've read many things about this OSU of a thing but up till this moment, I don't understand anything about it. Let your people advice you, but I just know it takes the grace of God for typical Igbo to allow their children to marry from an OSU family
*Larry was here*
Poster two do people still do that Osu thing? It's so backward? I thought we are all "born twice" now? Your parents need to chill. This is the 21at century. I've not heard all those Osu stories for a while now.
ReplyDeletePoster one no matter what don't go for the guy that has tendencies of abusing you physically later on cos you will regret it. Forget both men. Your own man will come
P1...27yr old girl with an 18yr old girl mentality...u need to hit 40 yrs to automatically have sense
DeleteAny osu interested in marriage here?
ReplyDeleteLol
DeleteOsu of a thing doesn't work anymore, just get pregnant and marry ur heart rob by fire by force
ReplyDeleteDiesnt work. My church members are happily married and the husband is osu. Her extended family gave her real trouble prior to. But they've been on for 13 years now, no shaking.
DeletePoster1: Seems you already have a clear picture of what you want, do we get clay & start molding a guy with big dick and with a slot to fix in your ATM card?
ReplyDeletePoster2: Im not Igbo...
#JonSnow: They were born on the wrong side of the wall, that doesnt make them monsters.
#Tyrion Lannister: We've had vicious kings, and we've had idiot kings, but I don't think we've ever been cursed with a vicious idiot for a king!
DeleteJoffrey Baratheon: You can't!
Tyrion Lannister:I can, I am!
Joffrey Baratheon: They attacked me!
Tyrion Lannister: The threw a cow pie at you so you decide to kill them all? They're starving, you fool! All because of a war you started!
Joffrey Baratheon: YOU'RE TALKING TO A KING!...
Atheist, accept Jesus. There is God if only you believe, that is why your girlfriend dumped you. Give your life to God.
DeleteThank me now!
Just fell in love with Cissy. 😍
DeleteI lost any regard for Atheist way back 😏
Poster 1-hmmmmm! This ur chronicle get as e be oo.. My own advice wud be for u to leave both guys alone. They both av too much baggage to deal with abeg.
ReplyDeletePoster 2-hmmmmmmm! In as much as I'm igbo,i don't kno anything abt d "OSUs" so I can't give an advice
Chai
ReplyDeletePoster 1- All relationship mustn't lead to marriage. If you guys are not compartable why not let go and start all over again. Stop waiting for a guy to change trust me their are more(hidden attitudes) to discover after marriage. So dear if you can't cope with the little you have seen, you better take a walk.
ReplyDeleteThis osu matter is tiring. Parents claim to be Christians but can't adhere strictly to Christian principles. Nothing you say will make them change their minds and if you guys go against them, any issue arises, they will tell you they told you so.
ReplyDeleteBefore Christianity was the age long Tradition. Give to Ceaser what belongs to Ceaser, tradition can't be ruled out. @ Poster pls listen to your parents, what an elder sees sitting u won't see standing. But if your faith in God can carry it, all the Best.
Delete@cissy God bless u,u are true son of the soil.
DeleteLa'Creamie go and marry your non OSU na. IBO people wey no love themselves, discriminating against each other in the name of a stupid tradition, when Jesus died and made us all perfect and the same. Make una continue. There was Christianity before your tradition.
DeletePoster 1: Get some values in your confused head. You keep talking about money....yes it is an appropriate concern, but you are going about it the wrong way. Mr Igbo might not really see you as a genuine wife material, so no point going on with the financial commitment. I bet he likely came back because he couldn't attempt a better catch. He is SETTLING with you, so do not flatter yourself. You going back and forth to him especially when some other guy comes around raises his ego, and exposes you as an indecisive person. Him wanting to marry you is because his ego is bruised, his plaything is acting serious and he needs his control over you consolidated.
ReplyDeleteLet me address that whole akwa-ibom and calabar hype you subtely pushed in here. Do not flatter yourself with your akwa-ibom sexual skills, we all know that is an over-exaggerated myth aimed to push up the profile of girls from that area(argue at your mirror). That mentality has made you, like many from your side unable to develop certain vital areas of your life, because you believe you can very well compensate with sex....which usually wanes after the ring gets there. The smart Igbo guys are not going there anymore, beccause of girls like you who live in a cocoon thinking sex and good food hype is enough to lock down a man and feel good about themselves..... It's a truth i know you wouldn't like, but read in between the lines. I am right!
Mr Igbo will likely marry you if you say yes. But it would be to assess if you have become your own woman, he would watch you some more, throw some hoops at you and then, on your own, with your very shallow mindset will become a wife of convenience. This pattern is regular so i know what i'm saying.
Mr long head will marry you to answer married man, and go play around because he knows he kept an airhead at home. The litte cultural difference in time will strengthen his resolve.
Mr round head, thank God you can see. You know what to do from this point. Advise yourself properly.
Poster 2: This aspect of my culture makes me terribly ashamed. So i will just play the ostrich here.
The only choice you have is elope or leave the marriage. But family support and parental blessing is so important. Let go!
I can't even hope prayer will change things here, but maybe try. If you cannot convince everyone. Let go, so you do not waste time chasing a dead end. May God heal your broken heart and compensate you.
Too long bitch, learn to summarize, over Sabi no good...am not bitter btw, just that you too talk.
DeleteI like how sensible you are!
DeleteI love your advice to poster 1,stupid bitch,that is how one of my frd keep telling anyone who cares to listen she is akwa ibom,because of sex nonsense
DeleteEmpress CHO- *high five* I see many of my Akwa Cross sisters wasting away waiting for penis all their life. And then fine pass some babes moving things in Lagos.
DeleteAnyway, their problem. Highest Na to go Mobil eket find husband marry, open salon, born children, add weight. or be a politicians side piece, use the money and marry a broke ass boy and upgrade him so he can womanize.
I love you Empress Cho, I don't know you but I love ya.
DeletePoster 1 u don't comment but u want us to advice. #nocommentmode activated.
ReplyDeletePoster 2 marry ur boo Abeg!
poster two this is a very serious issue in ibo culture,and it will take the grace of God for them to accept him(if they will ever). my place we dont marry osu and people that do die early death guess thats why your parents are againt you marrying him.
ReplyDeleteLol@ Stella bad mouth and constructive criticism.
ReplyDeleteGod have mercy
ReplyDeleteOkk poster 1, I ve to ask Pls does ur round head drive a Lexus jeep, and is he into door business n stays in festac!
ReplyDeleteRound head ur village people don dial ur number😂
DeletePoster 1, better not go back to that ur off and on date ooo, he is a serial time waster. Had one like that for 7 years. If his sister is not begging for us to come back, his friends are. Don't even venture.
ReplyDeletePOSTER ONE IS A JOKER. YOU ARE JUST PLACING PRIORITIES WRONGLY AND HAVING SEX; A WHORE OF NO CLASS CALLING HERSELF A PHARMACIST. YOU WON'T SPEND "YOUR MONEY", YOU WILL USE IT TO DECORATE YOUR GRAVE; SURE? REPENT OR YOU PERISH here and hereafter!
ReplyDeleteWhy are you shouting.
DeletePoster one..
Just calm down and wait for oval head.
Lol.
Poster one is the the typical selfish lady who sees sex as a means to all. Very soon that your "banging body" that attracts money will become a hanging body that no one wants but everyone loathes! You talk like one that is on a hallucinogen and not living in the real world. Very soon reality will set in and you will find no pleasure in all these your runs and have no husband or home to show for it.
ReplyDeleteposter one, if i were in your shoes, i would choose the first guy ( longerhead). you dated him for a longer time so im sure u already know all he is capable of. generosity matters in relationships but u have to understand that you cannot have it all. You cannot get a 100 percent perfect man. Some people need to be taught how to give. Teach him how to give if that is your problem. the 2nd guy is a no no, abeg. signs of domestic violence? mbanu!! No go area.
ReplyDeletePls manage your first guy ooo. Someone you've dated for 4 years there is really nothing the person wuld do dat may come as a suprise.
Lolz.....oval head ko square head ni. Foolish girl.
ReplyDeleteSince you hv a banging body,u can always get another man . Just cut off from two of them.
ReplyDeleteBut why did you spend 4 precious years with a man you cannot marry? U may hv missed someone better all this while.
Who says she hasn't been cheating in that 4yrs, na PH runs girl, na their way...... They hold onto one mugu and keep doin their runs.
DeleteI swear James ....she must have lost many credible suitors cos of the guy
DeleteI can relate!
P2, unfortunately, you will have to break up with your boyfriend.
ReplyDeleteI know it sounds irrational and you cannot understand why an archaic tradition of hundreds of years ago should stand in the way of love for you but, sadly, this stupid tradition is still very much upheld in igbo land and if you go ahead to marry this man, what you will end up doing is making your ENTIRE family become outcasts- if you can stomach living with yourself knowing that you've thrown your family into this turmoil, then, please go ahead.
For me, I'd weigh my options carefully. I probably would want to be selfish and think, "what the heck? My parents have lived their own lives and are now old, what does it matter if they make them outcasts in their village? I'll go abroad and start a home!". Well, that could work but if you consider:
1) Say your parents are respected members of their hometown and, all of a sudden, this talk of ostracizing is thrust on them because their child wouldn't heed to their advice- imagine how shattering it would be for your old parents.
2) The stigma will also follow your children (as it has now followed your boyfriend) and you never can tell who they fall in love with in the future and have to face this same heartbreak you are now going to inevitably face- because whether you decide to go with your man or with your parents, you'll still end up heartbroken.
It's a repugnant tradition and we all know this in our hearts and write it on paper but, the REALITY is, the Osu Caste system is still very strong in Igbo land.
I personally just think anyone who is an Osu should opt for inter-tribal marriages or marry from outside the country- it's just not worth it.
My mum once told me about an Osu family in her hometown back in the day who had a bevy of beauties for daughters and told of how the missionaries who came at the time made wives of ALL of them. The ladies eventually moved their parents abroad and started a new life there. As long as the kids from these unions don't end up getting romantically entangled with igbo Africans themselves, they'll go on to lead normal lives and will never be affected with this disgusting tradition that still seems to be carved in concrete.
For those who don't know, from my own inquiries in the past, the Osu system really are a people who are ostracised from their people (village) due to an allegiance or something done by their ancestors in the past, which results in their becoming outcasts. It varied really eg, some became outcasts because their ancestors chose to serve a god and be protected by it and therefore dedicated their entire lineage to this god; there were cases where someone committed an abomination and was then ostracised, together with his entire lineage; some committed heinous crimes and when about to be killed, pledged allegiance to a terrible god for protection thereby deciding to shun the interaction of other villagers- they will then be saved but their entire lineage will be ostracised. It's really for different reasons but this was the much I gathered myself when for some reason I found I had to research this for myself.
I wish you the best in whatever decision you do decide to take.
Please don't say igbo land, say in some igbo land, we do not know what's osu in my place biko
DeleteThis thing u typed, is it a chronicle or an advice....
DeleteEkunie Ify shut your mouth there. Trabalistic Anambra bigot! OSU first started making waves in Anambra before other Igbo and it's still being practiced there till date!!!
DeleteLmaooo @school life pls ask narrator 3
Delete@school life help me ask ooo...
DeleteAnon 20.16. You need a duplex at yaba left, idiot
DeleteEkunie is right...i m from neni anambra and nothing like that anymore
DeleteTHE OSUS ARE THOSE THAT WORSHIP THE DEITY IKENGA , UMEH WERE THOSE RAN INTO THE SHRINE TO SEEK SUCCOR FROM THE DEITY AND DIALA AS IT IMPLIES SON OF THE SOIL MEANING THE 'NORMAL' PEOPLE(ABI WHAT AM I SAYING SEF). BUT STELLA HAS A POINT OH I ASKED MY MUM THAT HOW COME TO SO CALLED ''LEFT HAND PEOPLE'' GET MONEY PASS WE WEY DEY CRITICIZE THEM. THE KIN SIDE EYES SHE GIVE ME NO BE HERE OH, LOL. INFACT I WAS IN A GATHERING WHEN SOMEONE SAID 'GOD CAN HEAL AN H.I.V PEOPLE, BUT CAN'T HEAL AN OSU' CAN U IMAGINE THAT ** ZOOMING ON OKADA WITH OO7 JARE**
ReplyDeleteAfricans and superstitions...tired;
DeletePoster 2, if the guy very rich and if truly love you and you are sure he will not disgrace you in the future. U can go ahead and marry him. Your parents will accept ur marriage later especially when you start having children.
ReplyDeleteI love u James😘
DeleteHey poster 1: you alone know what u want. Don't come and bore us with "shapes" and "sizes".
ReplyDeletePoster 2: I always say it that ur parents decision in choosing ur life partner cannot be overlooked no matter the rapour btwn u. Our elders say when a child is cutting a tree in the forest, the elder ones already know where it would fall.
poster one, i am sorry but you sound materialistic with low self esteem, like someone easily influenced by peer pressure. which one is "when i see my friends bf spending on them? why cant u close your eyes to what other people are doing in their own relationship? some of those your friends have rich boyfriends that may even be beating them up and cheating and lying" and you are busy comparing the first guy(long head) to them. mscheew.
ReplyDeleteIf you like dont accept his marriage request, be there looking for a perfect man as if you yourself is perfect. someone that took care of you when u were in school but decided to stop after u started working. dont you know that he is showing you how to be responsible? Do your parents still send you same pocket money they did when u were in school?
You are looking for someone that will spoon-feed you. The second man that came in the form of an angel and was spending on you, are you not the one listing his bad attributes now? if you like dont go for the first man. msscheew. i dont knw why you people will be allowing social media to influence your relationships. your friends bf spend on them and so what? my comment don long pass chronicle sef.
THERE IS NO PERFECT MAN, MANAGE WHAT YOU HAVE AND KNOW, THE GRASS ISNT ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE.
Forget that thing there
DeleteDon't we read chronicles here of how guys cheat on their wives
Its better for her to cry in Paris than cry in okokomaiko
My dear poster 2, it will be an uphill task to marry that guy because igbos are too bent on avoiding the issue especially if your dad is a chief. You have two options: disobey your parents and marry against their wish or leave the guy but explain to him to ask his parents about his family background
ReplyDeletePoster 1... You need Jesus.
ReplyDeletePoster 2... I'm an igbo guy. If your man is OSU, UMEH, please flush whatever love you have for him down the toilet.stella is right..Umeh has touch of Gold but Osu...Sister Girl is a badnews.

P2 u re foolish Somborry ooo, ur case plenty I swear, dick, money, dis dt only you? Odikwa egwu
ReplyDeleteP2 the OSU is really taken serz in igbo land. , dts Outcaste*even if u decide to marry him none of the elders or ur parents will agree to follow you.bcos that's the norms and tradition which must be followed,even the bible said give to caesars wts his and God wts God.sooo thread carefully ,may God direct you .
Which is his mom's mom osu i don't give advice to ppl like u,you tell story d way u want it to favour u so ppl can give advice that u want to hear. he's osu period. if his ground mom is osu y won't d mom be. His mom's mom. Hssss go and marry him against your parents wish since dats wat u want to hear. Good luck.
ReplyDeleteLol ano 16:27 i like u kikikikikikukiki d babe is in love mom's mom noni
DeleteAnon, Your mind dey there. I saw that part of the poster saying his mum's mum is an Osu and i wondered how his grandmum will be an Osu and the guy and his mum are free born! Odiegwu!!!
DeleteP1, you will make a good comedian! P2,whether we accept it or not, OSU still exists in some parts of Igboland espeially in Anambra State. In my area, we know them as 'TAIWAN'. Even those who claim to be 'born again' still go through the backdoor to ask whether a suitor is OSU or not before the commencement of any marriage. If your parents aren't in support of the marriage, let the guy go. It's not good to enter into marriage without the parents' consent because when the chips are down, it is still your parents that you will run to.

DeleteMy dear d same bible said non is an outcast,everyone is created by God.As for me I don't care wat my parents or uncles say if I love d man.ahead ahead
ReplyDeleteAre u an outcast?
DeletePoster 1.
ReplyDeleteThr problem may be that you do not have a basis of comparison.
Perhaps you should meet a 'square head' ,'drumstick head', 'matchstick head', 'bottle opener head' etc to give you a healthier understanding of what you want/need?
Poster 2. Shift a bit,would love to sit and learn as well.
P1, biko do do do,forget round head since he has symptoms of domestic violence,if not for anything dat alone has disqualified him. Also leave dat longhead too mbok. Take ur tym n get urself anoda bf u hear.....
ReplyDeleteP2, if you guys really love each other biko go ahead n put it into prayers God will see you guys tru. You can even threaten ur parents dat you will elope wit him if dey don't agree. Mind you,make sure you n d guy r on d same page. Ogwukwa ka oram na onu
If she like make she elope na... forever eloping she go be for their lives.

DeleteWhy are ibo's complicated?? I ask my mum This severally...we cant marry westerns,we hate northerners, and even our own anambra people we disapprove...smh!!
ReplyDeleteWe have a long way to go!
Thank you so much for your comment.
DeleteThank you. Same thing I ask myself when I hear about The Ibos. I just taya
DeleteBV 1. Roundhead is definitely not a choice worth considering the potential for abuse hasn't been realized because he hasn't broken you down enough, once you marry and born, festival of slaps.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand long head doesn't want to marry you, he's just putting out a carrot since you rebuffed him for the first time on account of Mr. Roundhead. Advice, face your career and develop new friendships, Mr. Right will come and you won't have to ask for BV advice you will know.
BV 2. Your parents aren't being truthful in the reason they're telling you they don't want you to marry this guy, otherwise why would they tell you not to tell the guy his mom is osu? Tell him and watch him dispel that his mom is from a lineage of osu. Talk to the parent you're closest to about why they don't want you to marry him, osu is just their convenient answer not the real one. The real one might cause you to also reevaluate so just tell him he's osu a day watch the drama unfold.
I had a cousin when she wanted to get married her parents said the guy is osu, when she told him it was proven he wasn't. Her parents didn't tell her the reason they didn't want him to marry her was because they didn't think he answered to anyone. She went ahead and married him. They had 3 children, be maintained her very well but her parents real fear was realized. He'd cheat on her and actually have the women inside his marital home. She reported to his family and her family, and truly her husband didn't have a single person he answered to not even his mother. Crisis could other be averted in that marriage, my cousin eventually left the marriage the embarrassment and STDs were too much. Then after her father died her mother said the real reason they didn't want her to marry him. 17 years later.
Poster 1... You sound really unserious. Keep collecting till you meet Oblong head with an extra large weapon of mass destruction. Pls shift!!
ReplyDeletePoster 2... I think you should allow the guy go his way. I'm not Igbo, but I think the issue of OSU is really a big deal to the Igbos. Tho Jesus saved us from every curse. Pray fervently and talk to them. Beg them if possible. My dear, going into a marriage without your parents' blessings does not make any sense. All the best dear.
Nigeria is the backwaters of modern civilization yet if the white man discriminates against a Nigerian, we are quick to jump on the bandwagon of name calling and complains yet our land is full of discrimination in the name of filthy tradition. Looking at comments from the Igbo people here is also baffling because this is the same thing that will be passed to their children. Hypocrisy speaks at the highest level when Igbo people call the name of Christ yet old filthy traditions still dominate their thinking.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget white ppl will not encourage dia daughter to marry ex-con , ex-con's son. Be wise and appreciate your tradition!
DeleteThank you. Thank you so much. Hypocritical attitudes we have in Nigeria
DeleteHmmm,poster 1,am sori to say dis,but its possible that non of two men ur banging body got for u is ur husband,this is bcos one has small prick but has money,d prick is very very important so that u won't go outside marriage fucking about,second man has big prick but he does not have money,u don't need any of them,now dust ur banging body again and hit d road,u can send in chronicles again when u are done.
ReplyDeletePoster 2,its just d mum of ur guy that is OSU, not the father,right?in my place sha,we forbid OSU, diala is very okay,ur case is almost impossible, breakup is d only option,except u want to run away to obodo oyibo and marry. My cousin did it,she came from America with her guy bcos he was ready to marry her,next thing,the village people did their findings and found out that d guy is OSU, they travelled back and married there, now they have 3kids and they are happy,nothing happened to dem bcos they are serious believers.
I had this discussion with my mum on osu caste and she said we can never have anything to do with them BC they are dedicated to the gods and a lot of spiritual and ancestory curse follow them and even as a christian u marry them the entire Igbo community will discriminate on u and ur generation. That OSU will not be discriminated upon if they marry their fellow OSU. Even some born again christian and pastors will not let their family 👪 marry them. For me I won't marry one so that I won't cause discrimination for my kids.
ReplyDeleteP1- ka emesia P2- Osu has been in existence in igbo tradition and such pple are seen as people who dedicated their life to a deity by running to such deity in time of trouble, for instance, if they have issue with d community or an individual and they run to d deity for shelter. Automatically, they are termed OUTCAST . Another of its' kind is OHU, these set of people are seen as slaves who do not know their root. And so, they are seen as slaves in any community they ended up. In as much as these practices are been condemned by religion, it is still practiced among the igbo's. They take it that be it that one's mother or father, grandmother or grandfather is an Osu or Ohu, automatically, the offsprings are also such. Just as stella said, they prosper more than those dat sees themselves as FREE BORN. My advice, if your parents are against you marrying your man, listen to them. I have seen where a man rejected both wife and 3 children just because he discovered that the wife is an Ohu. In all, the choice is yours but be wise.
ReplyDeletePoster 2 am sorry where I come from we do not know what's Osu
ReplyDeleteAnd some parents can form for life, claimed to be a prayer worries and the rest in the presence of God almighty, when they left from church service they will land in one shrine or baba lawo house, seeking for protection and the rest, what's the essence of claiming to be a Christian when you can't practice Christ like. Well poster if your parents has bent on you quitting the relationship please do cos they might not give you their blessings.
Poster2,pls don't venture in that marriage biko. If you attempt it,the stigma will automatically rob off on your family!!! You will make your family members outcasts. It really hurts. I'm a Christian. But,nne,ome na ala,is ome na ala oooo!!! It has consequences, terrible ones biko
ReplyDeletePoster 2 we are all one in Christ but sometimes we can't live outside our norms and traditions. We can talk and speak against OSU caste system but in reality still discriminate on them. I know of a woman 👩 that had cardiac arrest bc the daughter married an osu, don't bring shame on ur family bc of a 👨 . In short follow ur mind but for me my whole extended not just nuclear will not allow it.
ReplyDeleteSo una mean say no single OSU person dey visit this blog to enlighten us?
ReplyDeleteI wonder oo... are Osus ashamed or not allowed to talk about themselves. I've never met anyone say 'yes I am Osu'. I've only heard of. Hmmm
DeleteMy dear is beta u remain single than marrying an Osu.it doesn't matter if it's d man or woman,wen u marry them u automatically become an Osu. 90percent of dem ar rich but dey show much love to their fellow Osu than to u Amadi free born. If u enter e nor get who u wan run go meet if dem maltreate u. Please use ur head sister
ReplyDeleteWhere are these OSU men abeg, let me marry. All this talk is just getting me interested. We are all one in Christ.
DeleteMy dear OSU is real in my place! Infact my cousin brother want to marry one lady and his parent went to the girls place to check if the girl is OSU unfortunately she is and they ask the guy not to marry her he refuse he went ahead and marry the lady,now his parent has disown him long ago and he doesn't have any business with his parents he belong to the lady for ever. When anybody want to marry in my place that's the first question they will ask! if the person is OSU? Even my elder sister that just got married this East, that was the first think his husband pple ask us and my parent was asking them too he said he is not OSU yet my father with some elders in the village still went to his village to ask (just to be sure) becos once he is OSU no marraige oh.. Or else they will disown him/her. In my place we don't eat with them or share things with them hmmmmm we dey adviod them like mad. That culture has come to stay oh u cant change it my dear I will advise u move on or u will be disown by ur parent. Chickens.
ReplyDeletePoster 2...Osu is a very intricate tradition in Igbo land that is best left to those who are unfortunate to be labeled one. It's a generational issue & nobody wants to plunge their children into what they have no control over. If you marry him, you might as well prepare for heartbreaks & stories that touch for any offspring of that marriage that is preparing for marriage as well. Biko...steer away from this, you can't bear the burden especially when this infatuation called love fades away and you understand the depth of your decisions
ReplyDelete#1: Sweetie, referring to any potential husband as "long head", "round head", "square head" or whatever derogatory term you choose, reveals one major point, you are not ready to get married. I'm sure you meant it in a goofy kinda way but even our jokes reveal the inner parts of our minds. If you cannot respect a man, you have no business being with him, let alone considering being married to him. Whatever happened to "Mr A" or "Mr B"? Shouldn't that have been a better way to differentiate between the two?
ReplyDeleteForget about your age, my darling, you aren't psychologically and emotionally ready to get married, though you may think you are. You've listed all the wrong reasons any normal lady should want to get married. Your ideology about marriage appears somewhat askew and I would strongly recommend you take a while to sought out some of your personal issues, including what marriage means to you and why you want to get married. The yearly increase in ones chronologically age doesn't necessarily mean one is "mature" enough for marriage. Sadly, society feels otherwise and mounts overwhelming pressure on ladies to "jump the broom" asap! So much so that if a lady is approaching 30 years without any suitor(s), with little regard as to compatibility, she seems plagued or less of a woman.
I have always been of the opinion that just because a lady or a guy has 2 "contenders" at that particular moment doesn't make it an either/or situation. If both of them have certain qualities or "inadequacies" you don't particularly fancy, why not wait for the right one to come along? Or aren't you confident enough to wait for whom fits your criteria? True, nobody is perfect but that is no excuse to reduce your standards, provided your standards aren't ridiculously unrealistic.
From what I just read, I wouldn't pick either guy for a lady I care about. It's like asking which to choose, sour cream or stale bread? And by sour cream I don't mean sour deliberately made from the factory, I mean sour as in a week old unrefrigerated milk with zero preservatives. Why settle for either when you can get bread freshly baked from the bakery or cream freshly processes as well? Sweetheart, look deep within because therein lies the problem and not the men in your life.
#e-bearhugs.
Igbos and their stupid tradition. They are losing heir beautiful and educated girls to non igbos in the name of osu. Make una continue.
ReplyDeletePlease leave the boy alone so that osus will see husband marry.
ReplyDeleteHehehe where are all the ndigbo's come and answer. In this world today. You hate everyone,don't like Yoruba insult them,hate Hausas,you are superior to akwa ibom and calabar,you can't associate and marry OSU. So everyone in this world has a fault except igbos. Na wa o
ReplyDeleteAnon don't mind them, they will run to marry other tribes as if they know what deity they too worship, penny wise pound foolish
DeleteOsu ko susu ni 1.4
DeleteJer 30:17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast.Dis is what d word of God has to say about dis OSU thing soo anybody having an tin contrary lacks understanding.
