Let's try to understand ourselves, I know that bowing is a sign of respect in Yoruba culture but it doesn't mean much in Igbo culture.

It's understandable that you want Pete Edochie to respect your king exactly the same way you do it but that's insensitive. In Pete Edochie's culture, a feathered High chief cannot bow to anybody, not your Ooni, or Obi of Onitsha or even king Charles of England.
Pete Edochie cannot descecrate his own custom and tradition just to make you happy.

The way Pete Edochie greated Ooni would have been exactly the same way he would have greated his own King. Chieves will never bow in Igboland to anybody except Chi.

How we can strike a balance is what I do not understand but Pete cannot bow to Ooni. It's a Taboo.

You might say that an Oba is higher than a chief, that's true in Yoruba culture but not true in Igbo culture. igbos are republican, but they have always had a leadership ensconced in “abridged or fettered” monarchy. Absolute monarchy has never had sufficient reign in Igboland. This is because of the presence of sacerdotal institutions of checks and balance. It's the reason why monarchs do not get as much reverence as they get in other parts of the country.

Pete Edochie didn't mean to disrespect Ooni, his culture does not permit him to bow to Ooni. Ooni is not a recognize monarchy in Igbo land, even if he is, Pete won't still bow to him. It doesn't mean that Pete does not respect his throne.

ndi ofe mmanu wants Pete Edochie to bow before that thing that looks like amu.
Something that Pete Edochie have never done for Obi of Onitsha.
It is only a lizard that bows to a king.

Ooni has disrespected his throne

These people are just looking for trouble. Why should Pete Edochie bow to Ooni when Miracle BBN didn't bow to him in his palace.

Igbos don't worship humans and your ooni is a mere mortal.

That the truth, we don't even bow for the gods . talk more of human
