Chronicle Of Blog Visitor Narrative....

This is really really really heart breaking....



STAND ALONE NARRATIVE
TRUE LOVE CRIPPLED BY OUTCAST BROUHAHA

Complements Aunty Stella and thumbs up for your hard work and good heart. My life's wish is to get to finally meet you someday. You inspire me a whole lot, and it's my prayer that your water keeps boiling.
Please don't include my email. Thanks

I have an issue and I don't know if it's a chronicle or not, please feel free to decide which one it is.

My story:I have been dating my first love in Dec. 26 2001,i had just finished secondary School, I was young then so there was no sex involved (I only wanted to play the hide and seek). At first he was annoying but we kept growing up. We have been together for seventeen years now (we had sex in December 2014 for the first time). 


He proposed, not that he was waiting for the sex to happen though. We reside in different states. I went back to my base while we made plans for marriage by Easter 2015. I sent him to my house for the marriage talks (you know the dates and all). He got the dates to choose from and my family is supposed to also confirm the date vacant so that we can fix our marriage ceremony, at least the opening part.


 But my family started stalling I called to find out why the were developing cold feet and my dad evaded answering me and said I should ask mum. I called and asked and she gave me not just a disappointing answer but a shocker(coming from her) "his family are osu". But she said we will talk about it when I get back for Easter 2015.

A meeting was called when I got back and my dad again couldn't pick a stand instead he asked my brothers to decide and they all said a heart breaking no. The robbed me of my sleep several nights cos all I did was pray and cry until there was no tears again left. My sister accused me of being selfish, trying to marry and making sure others get stuck at home. I couldn't believe that such issue could ever be said in my house. There was anarchy at home caused by me, then I threatened to disappear from the house and never to return (I thought they will be moved but it failed). 


All these times they seem to have forgotten they robbed me but I haven't.
I love him because he convinced me of true love and I can't seem to let go.
I am considering two options either to stay single or to leave the country. I told him we could leave the country and I am willing to do that but he says he does not have money but still I am willing to wait forever until we are able to be together outside this country and far away from home. And if I succeed in leaving I don't think I am ever coming back. 


I cannot throw away everything we had just because of what I don't believe in. And I am loosing my sanity. I also don't want to treat them the way they have treated me. But I have developed a great dislike for Africa for this (I'm sorry to sound like this)

Please stella use your red pen for me and bvs I need your one cent on this. I will be reading all comments please.



*My dear do not blame your family,blame the society and the traidition that refuses to go away!
Should i tell you the truth?Whether you relocate or not,if you marry an OSU,it will affect your immediate siblings and no one will want to come an inch near them...
If you relocate to the end of the world,your offsprings will also get the same treatment of rejection cos your spouse is OSU,unless they will never go near any Nigerian person...even as friends,they will be pushed to the background and receive same treatment.

Please be wise before you make any choice and realise that sometimes love is not enough...If you decide to go ahead and marry that man,even the generation of your Childrens children will blame you when they cry bitter tears of rejection.

I am sorry but i will advise you not to do it..I advise from what i see my friends go thru becos their parents married for love and robbed them of being classified as normal...
This subject is so annoying!

    2. This wan pass me ooo. Calling all Igbos, you guys are talking about Biafra & stuff. Don't you guys think it is time y'all come together and decide to do away with this OSU cast system in modern times? I mean by now it should be clear that all humans are equal under God. Abeg make una come explain why this is so difficult. Poster I feel for you deeply. All I will say to you is wisdom is profitable to direct.

    3. Osu in this modern day and age? And you'll see the highly religious and enlightened ones being afraid of that nonsense. Well, it's only the igbos that give a Shit about those things. Thank goodness my siblings and I can marry whoever the hell we like as long as the person is responsible, has sense and has good qualities. Who sends whether you are from a certain clan or not. If you wanna marry a yoruba person, we will follow you and dobale, if it is igbo, we will pay the money, if na Hausa, we go follow you chop cane... *drops trouser and flashes bum bum*

    4. Poster I advise you. .don't go ahead with that relationship again... Yes it is painful.. But please put an end to it

      "If you relocate to the end of the world,your offsprings will also get the same treatment of rejection cos your spouse is OSU,unless they will never go near any Nigerian person...even as friends,they will be pushed to the background and receive same treatment."

      Now to start with, not every Nigerian agrees with the osu caste and not all gives the fuck about the supposed "consequences"

      Stella, the way you put your comment makes it sound as though everyone in Nigeria recognises the tradition. And I'm surprised

      Osu or whatever they call it has no stand if people do not accrued respect to it. It is just a tradition set up by people and respected by people and that is why it is still alive.

      The most annoying part is that People who profess to be Christians are the ones propagating this old invalid dehumanizing odd believe.

      Christ had translated us from the kingdom of darkness unto his personal kingdom and at such we ain't under the bondage of any osu

      Osu has died thousands years ago when Christ says it's finished on the cross of Calvary
      Osu has been demolished when Christ arose from the dead

      Please we need to start a movement to permanently abolish this so called traditional belief

      They should be a hashtag or anything that will permanently seal this tradition

      I'm so sad that we have to face this type of believe in 2017.

    6. Truth be told,you marry a man,you marry his family!its Africa! OSU or not,if your family does not accept him,you can never have peace. You can damn the consequences and do as you wish but...well,what Stella said up there is the bitter truth. Think of your future and generations to come...
      Kai! This thing dey pain sha! Na wa!

      Poster, the things I've heard about this osu thing aren't nice at all. It's sad, it's archaic tradition, but it still exists.

      I don't suggest you go in with the marriage. Firstly because your family isn't in support, which means no support system, no people to fall back on. Nothing. Just you and bobo. Secondly, it's not just about your love, it's about the stigma and emotional and psychological torture you'll be bringing on your children, yourself, your parents and siblings. Wherever you run to, the issue will still be there my dear. Moreover, if you were osu, would le boo have defied his family to marry you? Just saying o. Finally, why has bobo never told you his family is osu, all these years??? Maybe it would have been easier for you to decide if you knew years ago.
      Please dear, don't go on. Hugs and Kisses.

    10. What is Osu? If both of you are in Christ. You are new creations. Your family need christ

    11. Its so painful especially when it gat to do with one's first love, more so one u dated for 17+years.

      However, not all first love end up in marriage and unfortunately, yours is one of such.

      Tradition, Religion, Science and family play a part in determining who we marry.

      My advice, try to be strong enuf to find love again. Or just date another tribe and see where it takes you.

      So sorry dear

    1. It's high time u African christians choose between ur traditional worship or God. You keep confusing and cheating yourselves because u want to merge both. Believing in Osu is being a traditionalist. Please, stop deceiving yourselves. Christianity or Traditionalist? You surely can't be both because they are contradictory to each other. Pick a damn struggle ooo

That is how I would have missed a man I married because of this Osu thing. 11 years after, I'm still thanking God that we went ahead. God will deliver all the people that are still practicing this. Is terrible calling someone God created an outcast

    I don talk my own!...
    Osu people are always rich so I wonder what happend to him!...

    2. It depends on the town you came from oh. I heard of one family that was osu in my place. They decided to leave the community totally one day and the whole town spearheaded by the church stopped it and removed whatever curse and right now,they socialize with everyone in the community.i know Anglican church in my place is strong,in fact all the church in my town fought very well against it and it yielded fruits. You can't see anyone being referred to as osu in my town.yes I'm from Ananbra. but it's still strong in some parts of abia and Imo.my hubby is from umuahia and he later told me they made an enquiry about my family if we are osu? This is someone that has spent most of his life outside the country.its a no no if your from such place and mbano.its not serious in Enugu and Anambra state believe me.

  6. As for your situation now, running away from the country isn't a solution. You can marry without your parent's consent for you are legally an adult. Be ready for whatsoever shunning they will give you and bear your cross patiently.

    Did I hear you say; "cry and pray?" To which God: The one that says flee fornication? You've been having sex for years now and you aren't married. No issue with that but please do not bring God into it.

    6. She did not tell us that it was a cry and prayer for repentance. and the issue of judgment? Know your scriptures.
      12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”[a] 1 Cor. 5

      Delete
    7. Let's get the point. There's a big difference btw going to God in prayer with due acknowledgement, true remorse and repentance for our sins (whatever the sin) and going to God without any of these (that is, in the belief that we can continue in our waywardness with no need for repentance). From my understanding of Scripture, the former is what is pleasing to God. Concerning the post, it is a very sad situation. However, life is in stages. What may be rocking ur boat today, may not get ur second glance tomorrow. Poster, I can't really understand the closeness of ur relationship with this person, if in all the 17 years u were together u were unable to get this information about him and he didn't tell u, even at the point of marriage. Ur ppl had to find out themselves. U can never really run away from ur family nevertheless; and in this instance that won't even solve anything. Who will be there for u if things start acting up in ur marriage somewhere down the line? Would ur guy have done the same for u? I don't need to tell u who men are. It's women who constantly like to lose their heads in love. Men tend to show more pragmatism in these things. I personally do not support the caste system but why throw one's self and one's family and children into avoidable controversy and rejection, going forward, all in the name of 'love'. U are not rejecting ur guy as an individual, u just don't want to be drawn into something u don't understand and can't make sense of. It's a general belief that the caste system will fade into history, if the issue is not constantly revisited every now and again but I don't see how that can even be when marriage in parts of Igboland cannot occur without visiting the issue. Go think it over.

What if she marries a wife beater or even a murderer...do you know she will never forgive her family for that?

  31. As far as I am concerned your happiness matters most. Just follow your heart. It is possible before your own children grow up to get married the stupid tradition will be abolished besides who says your offspring must marry from Nigeria? Put everything in prayer.

  33. Please girls should learn to introduce whomsoever they are dating as early as first month to their parents and guardians. That is the way to avoid these kinds of stories. women should know that they are the one to cry "age not on our side . . ." once relationships flips downhill. It helps us to make up our minds early.

  35. This is so unfortunate! I don't know why people keep holding onto this,in this age? even as Christians? too bad.
    Yet they will go to the white man's country & start shouting about racism. Isn't this worse? archaic things keep frustrating innocent humans!
    U can let it go, u can continue with the marriage plan if u can deal with everything that will come after...May God help u both.

  36. If to say you just met him, I would have advised you quit but considering the number of years you have been together, my dear you dont need to travel out, just marry him in court and forget everyone. Its not easy to give up in this kind of love and marrying another is just punishment to both of you cos he will never have your heart and things will never seem right.

  37. Stella biko forget dat "if u marry him it will affect her siblings " ppl are still doing osu and ohu in this age and time? Hia! Nne,if I were u, I'm leaving this country with my man so long as I love him.

    Let me tell u one story, in my village gan, there's this part of my village we don't inter-marry, my village n dat village don't marry atallll, deputy gov of my state is from my village and when he wanted to marry he went to marry from dat village, her ppl said over their dead body Will they allow their daughter marry him. D girl insisted and got married to him,den he wasn't d deputy gov ooo, he was an ordinary servant to d past governor. Now,he has built houses for the wife's family and all of them ve accepted him as an inlaw,why? Cos money is now talking. So dear,your family is saying no probably cos ur bf is broke,if he was a very rich guy,by d time he sends two or three of ur brothers abroad, build house for your parents,I don't think you would be here writing chronicles.

    Find a way and leave please.

    1. igbos like money buh not in this osu issue oh! if u like be as rich as dangote, an osu will never be a tittled man, ichie, igwe or chief. i know of an osu young man who bribed the eze to give him chieftaincy title buh the king declined. Obviously the reason ur dep Gov and ur ppl don't inter marry is maybe land dispute in the olden days or something similar but not something as serious as osu.

  40. Dear Poster,
    It's quite painful being denied of what you deserve, so so painful.
    But, I'll advise you take some time to cool off.
    Think about the consequences of your proposed action 10years down the line.
    When the weight of marriage comes on you, which family will you lean on for support?
    What answers will you give to your children as per the separation between you and your family?
    The world is a small place and you cannot determine who they relate to. When they eventually find out the truth and be rejected for it, can you bear their anger?

    There are sacrifices we have to make in life just to protect our tomorrow.

    Be wise

  41. Dear poster, just go with stella's advise. There is more to marriage than love alone. At the long run, you will look back and thank your God for not making such mistake.
    It isn't going to be easy...17years isn't 17days.
    Think about your generations to come and the consequences of this singular move you are about to make. Is it really worth it?
    God will bring someone else to you ok?
    It is well with you.
    E-hugs.

    1. How do u know God didn't bring this one? Abi does God recognise Osu? No He doesn't! It's all man made tradition and God doesn't adjust His will
      to fit our traditions!
      It's high time u African christians choose between ur traditional worship or God. You keep confusing and cheating yourselves because u want to merge both. Believing in Osu is being a traditionalist. Please, stop deceiving yourselves. Christianity or Traditionalist? You surely can't be both because they are contradictory to each other. Pick a damn struggle ooo

    Poster, please leave the guy and trust God for someone better. It's not easy but you'll be fine. It's never advisable to let your family turn their back on you in cases of marriage, you need them Also try to do your findings about the next guy you'll meet before taking things far. It is well

    As for the osu caste system,hmmmmmmmn I thought it is a thing of the past.I was shocked at the strengths of Stella's advice, I thought the osu caste system is fast loosing it's significance in the igbo system. Nawa oh

  49. Caste systems are all everywhere and steps has been taken in the past to gey rid of it...

    Catholic church @owerri declared osu extint and threatened that anyone will be excommunicated. But when the priest's younger sister was to be married to an Osu, he kicked against the Union..


    Igwe Orizu, also came down hard on the osu caste system, he abolished it and he was told to allow his children marry an osu, he vehemently refused...


    We all have an Osu friends and colleagues,we play and eat together but when it comes to marriage,it's a no go area. Who will take the first shot? You?


    There are consequences for marrying an Osu and they are very serious.

    Your family will be ostracized, no buying or selling,they can never partake in any active events, xannot aspire for any position eg Nze, govenor, etc etc..


    Most Osu i know are very brilliant, beautiful and wealthy but will marry them or alliw my kids and other relatives to marry them? God forbid!i have great ambitions for myself famiky and wouldn't anything to down those dreams...

  57. Let me educate your guys..These Osu, ume and ndiala..Ndialas are the freeborns but OSU' is an lbo word for 'Outcast'. It is simply a word used to describe a person dedicated to a deity. No one harms, interacts or marries an OSU.
    History has it that it all started during the slave trade era. Men who felt insecured and weak, and those who could not fight off kidnappers or did not want to lose their family members to kidnappers who sell victims to humam traffickers or to the white slave dealers resort to dedicating their families to some powerful deities. Any person or animal dedicated to a deity bears a mark of identity and is feared to touch or harm. So kidnappers then feared to touch such people because the know the consequences.
    So it was that an osu man could only marry an osu woman. With passage of time osu people multipled because all the children born or their descendants became OSU automatically.(culled from Nairaland)

    1. Ume were placed lower than osu. The ume only married ume and their crime was that them and their children always died. Not even osu used to agree to marry them. Modern studies have shown that these umes were SS carriers who married each other and had further ss who died. See olden days!!

  60. Dear Writer, I want to tell you to f**k the your parents and family up for using OSU as a reason not to marry your love. Go with him and damn the consequences. God did not make any man OSU. It is man-made and what man-make, man-can-break.

    The reason we are so backward in Africa is because we allow superstitions that even Christianity condemns. My dear if you can get out of town even to another country and if the two of you have a strong resolve and deep faith to take your destiny into your hands. You will survive the odds.

    Please do not be afraid... many people were laughed at and scorned for doing something different and even considered as taboo but were found to be right after all. With the Lord on your side, no one can defeat you.

    Embark on this journey of your life with the man you love. Your entire family want to keep you captive within their own ideology.

    Remember that the stone rejected by the builders always become the corner stone. Move away from negativity and free yourself from the darkness and ignorance of your people. If you are willing to take the risk, happiness lies on the other side. Believe it.

    1. @Anonymous 20:13, your stand out reasoning from that of the maddening crowd, shows you are an enlightened mind and a courageous person. The Osu/caste system of anyone or groups is man-made to serve numerous societal purposes and wrong on many fronts. Even more, when youths keep on doing what their forbears have been doing without actually questioning such despicable traditions nor possessing the courage to deviate from the pack, how does development/progress ever take place? How does one make a case against racism/sexism or other "isms" when many still believe in Osu? Could it be that many Naijas, whether at home or abroad, are merely educated illiterates without soul or spirit? QED@AllTribesMatter
