Popis: The Osu debacle is such a loathsome system that has survived the assaults of modernity and religion. Although a fair proportion of the Igbo race may be thought of have elected to get it into extinction, the body language of a great many seems to show that they are not in a hurry to let go. Given the efforts supposedly made to bring the Osu caste system to an end by various eminent social classes and persons, and its continued existence without demur, one wonders whether the proponents of its abolition are not but paying lip services. This paper, therefore, proffered some measures that may be taken to drive enough nails to the chest of the obnoxious system. Article visualizations
