Why didn't he bow to the Ooni of ife ?

SerikiFulani:
Why didn't he bow to the Ooni of ife ?

Because he is not obligated to. If Jide Kosoko meets the Obi of Onitsha he is also more than welcome not to bow. Igbos won't be mad.

I think it is disrespectful for ooni to sit down while shaking Pete edochie a whole ebubedike. I thought people from the waste have respect for elders?

The gallant igbo bows to no one.

MrColdsweat:

But you find it disrespectful for the Ooni to seat and while shaking Edochie, right? 🤷‍♂️
Bloody hypocrite!

You are wrong about the bolded, son! Check below. 🤣🛐

The yorubas claim respect for elders is fundamental to their culture. The ooni, who is an embodiment of yoruba cultural values, should have prostrated for pete, an elder....Except prostrating for elders is strictly reserved for yoruba elders.

And Edochie was supposed to prostrate down and kiss the Ooni's shoe!

Wagwanbrethren:

Ooni is a small boy. I knew him back when we has defrauding people on the island. Pete edochie knows this, that is why he gave ooni exactly what he deserved; a pat on the back.

Also, we are in the modern age. Ideas like kissing the shoes of a fellow man as a sign of respect, is archaic. There are better ways of showing respect, like equal treatment. Please grow up.

MrColdsweat:

As an ofeke, and conman, Pete edochie gave him exactly what he deserved; a pat on the back.

I wouldn't stoop down to insult your man or tribe. 🤣
Pet Edochie is such loyal man!😁
I can see the loyalty in his eyes,more of fear and respect for the Ooni!🤣
