So everyone is freely shaking Ooni of Ife but some hateful people wanted Pete Edochie, a man well into his 70's, to bow? What nonsense

There is no bowing in Igbo culture, and even if Pete Edochie were to bow, it would be an abomination for him to do so to a much younger man, as the Igbo man he is.

Is edochie a Yoruba man? Is it in his culture to bow to Kings? Did Oni ever complain to anyone that he felt offended? We attach importance to a lot of nonsense in this society.

Its never an issue sir
I will never understand why a Yoruba person would feel offended by this...Its pointless asking a man of diff culture and heritage to do exactly what you as a local would

The traditions are diff and even i never bowed to greet the Eze of Ukpo(Prince Arthur Eze Elder Bro) kingdom the only time i met him in 2021...So bro, there is no issue here
