The Osu caste system is a traditional practice in Igboland that discourages social interaction and marriage with a caste of persons called Osu (Igbo: outcast). Osu are enslaved by the deities (Alusi) of the Igbo people; they are considered as inferior beings and are usually separated from the Nwadiala or diala (Igbo: real born).

The origin of the Osu caste system is not well-known, but it is thought to have originated in the pre-colonial era. Some scholars believe that the system was created as a way to control the population and to prevent the spread of disease. Others believe that the system was created as a way to punish criminals and to ostracize those who were considered to be outsiders.

The Osu caste system has had a profound impact on the lives of Igbo people. Osu are often denied basic rights and privileges, such as the right to own land, to marry a freeborn person, or to hold certain positions in society. They are also often subjected to discrimination and abuse.

There has been a growing movement to abolish the Osu caste system in recent years. In 2017, the Igbo Peoples Congress (IPC) passed a resolution calling for the abolition of the system. The IPC also called for the government to take steps to protect the rights of Osu people.

The abolition of the Osu caste system is a complex issue. There are many factors that need to be considered, such as the traditional beliefs of the Igbo people and the legal implications of abolishing the system. However, it is clear that the system is harmful and that it needs to be abolished.

The origins of the Osu caste system are unclear, but it is thought to have originated in the pre-colonial era. Some believe that it was a way to control the population, while others believe that it was a way to punish those who had committed crimes or violated taboos.

The Osu caste system is deeply entrenched in Igbo culture, and it has been difficult to eradicate. In recent years, there have been efforts to abolish the system, but it remains a problem in many parts of Igboland.

Osu face a number of challenges as a result of their caste status. They are often denied access to education, employment, and healthcare. They are also subjected to discrimination and violence.

The Osu caste system is a harmful and discriminatory practice that needs to be abolished. There are a number of things that can be done to address this issue, including:

• Raising awareness of the Osu caste system and its negative impact on Osu people.

• Educating people about the harmful effects of discrimination and prejudice.

• Advocating for the rights of Osu people and challenging discriminatory practices.

• Working to build a more inclusive and just society where everyone is treated with dignity and respect.

Once upon a time, this dude was a beloved son of Igboland. Hundreds of thousands of card-carrying IPOB members at home and abroad idolized him like a deity. Whatever he said was the law in Igboland, especially after the caging of Onyendu in Jubril's boudoir.

If he pointed at a sabo, that was the end of that man. Prominent sons and daughters of Igbo were slaughtered like rats, and everyone chest-beating Igbo chose to mind their business. His megalomania knew no bounds. Even the quiet Biafrans hiding silently in Lagos watched and followed his handles with trepidation.

Obi himself was fearful of IPOB and was at some point rationalizing their murderous activities and loss of freedom of movement on Mondays. Ekpa was scheming to take over power from Onyendu, and Emma the Powerful was tongue-lashed and cut down to size. To imagine that there'd come a time when his rabid followers would turn against him is an incredible thing beyond realistic conjecture.

Today, Peter Obi is the new sheriff in Igboland, and Kanu must wonder how fickle people's adoration could be. Here today, gone forever. I bet the same imbeciles were kneeling and holding on to his trousers as their messiah hardly remembers him anymore. It's either Obi or the highway now. Nothing lasts forever.

Undoubtedly, Obidients are mostly Biafrans who took a sabbatical leave from secession to support their son, Obi. By June, most of these noisemaking hordes threatening everyone from Potiskum to Lagos would return to their Biafraland and resume their secessionist programs in earnest.

FBI - Full-Blooded Igbo!!! The first Black Vice Chancellor of the University of Ibadan was Professor Kenneth Dike, an Igbo man. •The first University of Lagos Vice Chancellor was Professor Eni Njoku, an Igbo man. 

•The first Nigerian Rector of the then Yaba College of Technology was also an Igbo man The first Nigerian Professor of Mathematics was an Igbo man named Professor Chike Obi. This man solved Fermat’s Last Theorem. Another Igbo man named Professor James Ezeilo, a Differential Calculus Professor and the Ezeilo Constant founder, followed him. The first Nigerian professor of history was an Igbo man Professor Kenneth Dike who also became the first black vice chancellor of the University of Ibadan. 

The first Nigerian Professor of Botany was an Igbo man named Professor Eni Njoku. He became the very first vice chancellor of the university of LAGOS. The first Nigerian Professor of Anatomy and Physiology was Professor Chike Edozien, an Igbo man also the current Obi of Asaba. 

The first Nigerian Professor of Physics was Professor Okoye, an Igbo man who became a Professor of Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA, in 1960. He was followed by Professor Alexander Anumalu, who has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for Physics three times for his research in Intermediate Quantum Physics. 

In Nuclear Physics and Chemistry – another Igbo man – Professor Frank Ndili, gained a Ph.D. in the early ’20s at Cambridge University in Nuclear Physics and Chemistry in the early ’60s. This young Asaba man had made a First Class in Physics and Mathematics at the then University College Ibadan in the early ’50s. First Professor of Statistics – Professor Adichie’s research on Non-Parametric Statistics led to new areas in statistical analysis. What about the first Nigerian Professor of Medicine – Professor Kodilinye – who was appointed a Professor of Medicine at the University of London in 1952? 

He later became the Vice Chancellor of the University of Nigeria Nsukka after the war. What about Astronomy – again, another Igbo man was the first Professor of Astronomy – please, look up Professor Ntukoju – he was the first to earn a double Ph.D. in Astronomy and Mathematics. 

Let’s go to the Social Sciences – Demography and statistical research into population studies – again another Igbo man – Professor Okonjo, who set up the first Centre for Population Research in Ibadan in the early ’60s—a double Ph.D. in Mathematics and Economics. 

Philosophy: Professor G D Okafor became a Professor of Philosophy at Amherst College USA in 1953. Economics – Dr. Pius Okigbo became a visiting scholar and Professor of Economics at the University of London in 1954. He is also the first Nigerian Ph.D. in Economics.

The Nigerian Universities Commission (NUC) has a record of the state with the highest number of professors in Nigeria, and as of 2014, that state is Imo State. You can go to this commission and verify. Anambra state was the first in WAEC, UNITY SCHOOLS ENTRANCE EXAMS, NECO, AND PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE in 2013, 2014, and 2015. Therefore, whenever some people address you Igbos as mere traders and Keke riders, tell them you are also ahead in academia and doing very well in business, science, technology, and SPORTS. No amount of hatred can change blessings from God. *FBI (Full-Blooded Igbo)!
