“He forced me to give him ‘osiba’, which is against my tradition” – Singer, Cynthia Morgan shares encounter with veteran actor, Pete Edochie

Nigerian singer, Cynthia Morgan has shared an encounter she had with veteran Nollywood actor Pete Edochie in 2016.

After a video of Pete exchanging pleasantries with revered Yoruba monarch, the Ooni of Ife, surfaced online and garnered reactions, Morgan took to her Instagram page to narrate an incident where she claimed Pete forced her to do something against her tradition.

The video showed Pete Edochie shaking hands with the Ooni of Ife instead of prostrating or bowing down, as is customary in Yoruba culture.

This action by Pete Edochie received criticism on social media, with many considering it disrespectful to the king.

In response, Cynthia Morgan commended Pete for respecting the Igbo tradition during the exchange but accused him of disregarding the traditions and beliefs of other tribes.

She recounted her own experience in 2016 in Okrika, Port Harcourt, where Pete, as a titled man, allegedly forced her to give him an “osiba,” which is against her Benin tradition.

She said that as a Benin lady, it is considered taboo for her to give a titled Igbo man like Pete Edochie an osiba, but she claimed that he made her do it against her will, thereby disrespecting the Benin tradition.

Cynthia Morgan noted that she hopes that Pete Edochie would learn to respect other people’s traditions as he had respected his own.

she wrote.

“I like the fact that Pete Edochie’s tradition is being respected today, and I hope he learns to respect other peoples’ traditions too moving forward. For example, that Benin women cannot give a common or titled Igbo man an ‘osiba’ for no just reason. Unlike when he forced me to give him an ‘osiba’ in 2016 in Okrika precisely. Cheers,”

Osiba means to bend slightly for an elder to Pat you on the back. Just checked it out.

Edo/Benin is Yoruba, take it or leave it, they have same language with a little twist, example an 'Osiba' That she mentioned is same as 'Osuba' in Yoruba language, meaning Praise or Honor

Why not the other way, Yoruba is part of Edo/Benin take it or leave it. That you are in majority doesn't mean the minor ethnic group hails from the major. I have seen this scenario play out with the other major ethnic groups in Nigeria.

Historically, you're both wrong. Edo/Benin didn't originate from the yoruba and vice versa.

Obviously, it means entirely different things and does not relate.

If they meant the same thing, then it wouldn't have been a taboo in Benin.

You didn't get my line of thoughts, I didn't say Yoruba originates from Benin. I am only questioning why the major ethnic groups always use that line of thought, that's why I reversed the scenario.
