SUMMARY
In this issue of Osu practice and stigmatization, no amount of criticism against this practice can solve the problem. Unless those conceded comes out to dialogues and do the necessary cleansing by way of redemption and it seems that except this is done the suppression of this practice can not and may not die a natural death. Ironically in our different churches today which has preached against this practices, when a member set out to marry be or she still carry out investigations Secretly before the matrimonial process is Completed. Thus it seem as if people outwardly preach and accept the eradication of the practice but in actual life they as well observe this erroneous practice. Hence these exposes our moral bankruptcy, intellectual nudity, primordial, social values and spiritual barrenness to the civilized communities.
This also call for an urgent review of our old tradition which seems to be falling us apart instead of unifying us together. Some scholars have also observed whether the continued existence of this system is good enough to pay back those who supported and fought on behalf of the igbo during the war. Why do we continue to observe this evil practice after all these we have fought together.
A diplomat once said that everybody knows what should be done but the problem is how to do it. Hence it is no longer news that some parents has personally poisoned their children who were hell bent on marrying an Osu or who in the process got pregnant for them. Parents has done this overtime in the believe that they do not want to bring embarrassment to their family. Brothers had killed their own brothers who got decided to settle with an Osu Should this trend continue who knows how much innocent lives would been wasted.
Though the past is our touch on the path to the future: yet we therefore cannot get to that promised land when our touch is not luminous enough to see us through.
