Pete walked up to the Yoruba king and shook his hand in the traditional Igbo way, a move that sparked controversy online.
In consideration, Cynthia Morgan, via her Instagram Story, praised Pete for upholding Igbo traditions while exchanging fun with Ooni.

According to her, as a Beninese woman, giving an Igbo man with a title like Pete Edochie an Osiba was taboo for her, but the veteran forced her to do it against her will. thus not respecting the traditions of Beninese.
She writes;
“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.
I.E That Benin Women cannot give a common or a titled ibo man an “osiba” for no just reason. Unlike when he forced me to give him an osiba in 2016 in okrika precisely. Cheers”
