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

  

Singer Cynthia Morgan who's from Benin city said that as a Benin lady "it is considered taboo for her to give a titled Igbo man like Pete Edochie an osiba".

The Nigerian singer Cynthia Morgan had to share her encounter she had with Pete Edochie in 2016.

After a video of Pete exchanging pleasantries with revered Yoruba monarch, the Ooni of Ife, surfaced online and garnered reactions. So Morgan took to her Instagram handle on how Pete Edochie forced her to do something against her will.

 There were a lot of critics on Pete Edochie's action because it was customary in Youruba land for one to prostrate or bow down while greeting the king. Of which he did none of them had to shake the Ooni of ife in his hand .

Singer Cynthia Morgan who was furious about it said that she hopes that he starts to respect other people's culture just as much as he respects his own's culture.

  "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,” she wrote.
