The law is the law. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

I have no idea about the rest of your response because I’m not a Nigerian constituent.

able20:
Most Nigerians in America are very funny.
The Bushman was hard shouting this is America , but he was seen violating someome else's privacy

tctrills:

He is a public figure and I guess he was recorded in public. We do it every time to celebs

zedegit:




Then why did the mofo back away when people came around? Can you answer this? If he was right he should have stayed there and argued his right and being an American citizen who has right to inconvenient someone trying to eat peacefully.

I don't hold brief for Aregbesola as he might be one of the corrupt officials in Nigeria but then he should be allowed to eat. Live and let live is my philosophy.

We have a chance to get things right in 2023 by shunning ethnicism but NO, most of the Alayes will collect money as they did in Osun and vote in bad leaders only to turn around and blame the leaders who paid them.

How can I pay you to elect me, you come and tell me how to spend money when I get there?

989900:
This is stalking! A childish one at that.

Aregberascal should have just called the police on him.

1stGenAmerican:


In America, anyone can be recorded doing anything as long as it is in public. Our own President has been recorded eating and even taking a tumble.

JooEeL:


And ur name is 'sorosoke'? With this ur mindset, ur misery will last forever.

You are the typical and perfect slave.

1stGenAmerican:


Have you not seen how American politicians are recorded and called out in public? Politicians are public servants. They work for and answer to the citizens, not the other way around.

lovinagbad:

Even people record police in America. Which police is he going to call. America is a free country. If it's Nigeria will Aregbeaola security allow anyone get closer to him. He can't even order food, he will rather sent a limo to bring the food

hrykanu231:


He is in public and he is a public office holder. People record Biden, who then is Aregbe?

You guys accord too much reverence to these guys over there, that's why they behave like demigods and punish you guys in perpetuity.

wirinet:


I have not seen how how American politicians are harrased and heckled by strangers. What I have seen is journalists questioning public officials (sometimes aggressively)in the course of doing their jobs while at the same time avoid insulting or heckling them. Security of public officers would not even allow strangers close to them.

mike1994reds:

There’s nothing wrong in what’s he’s doing , what’s he’s doing is protected under the 1st amendment everyone in America have freedom of press. Also courts have ruled in several times that there’s no expectation of privacy in public only when you’re on a private property.

akwunomy:


It is not wrong because he is a minister of interior of the Federal Republic of Nigeria…he is not a private citizen and as such he can’t enjoy those right…is like the president telling someone not to record him…

All he need to do is just ignore the guy and stay mute…like the guy said…he can’t touch him as that will result in an assault…

sorosoke101:
I am not disputing that oh, but the guy should have just respected the man. The man even offered him a sit.

1stGenAmerican:


A citizen recorded a policeman killing a man in America and that recording led to the policeman going to prison. This has happened more than once but never did you hear the police demanding that the person recording give them their phone. I don’t know why these guys think the guy being recorded here is immune to things Americans aren’t.

wirinet:


Please quit comparing the recording of a person from a distance to someone sticking his phone in your face, shouting "this is America". To me that's provocation. Even the people recording policemen do it from a distance.

1stGenAmerican:


Would he have offered him a seat if they were in Nigeria?

1stGenAmerican:


You seem to have very little knowledge about America because people literally hurl foul words at politicians while recording regularly. Donald Trump was publicly called a b*tch on numerous occasions and the Secret Service just kept him moving along. As long as they don’t make threats of injury or bodily harm, the politician and his/her security keeps moving.

sorosoke101:
why not, let's leave sentiment aside biko

wirinet:


You are good at deflecting and muddling issues. I hope that's not how you argue your case in court. What most people are complaining about is not necessarily the recording or even the insults, but the invasion of Aregbesola's personal space. We are saying it's provocation the way he walked up to him, stick a camera to his face and starting making provocative remarks.

1stGenAmerican:


When you see your Nigerian politicians out in public (and it isn’t election time), do they stop and offer you a seat so that they can hear your concerns?

He isn’t considered a public figure in America. He’s an ordinary man, a guest, an everyday person. Public and private figures can be recorded without permission in public.

wirinet:


Where will you even see a Nigerian politician to talk to? With the layers of Mobile policemen, DSS, aides, assistants, etc. That still does not justify provocation when you do have the opportunity to close contact with them.

I prefer we carry out our advocacy and fights intellectually and rationally instead of violence, insults and emotions which will achieve nothing.

1stGenAmerican:


You’re moving goalposts. First, it was an invasion privacy and once it was determined that there is no privacy in public spaces, you moved on to personal space. Freedom of speech was on the side of the person recording and the person being recorded had the right to say whatever he felt like saying in return as long as it wasn’t a threat of injury or bodily harm. Goodbye.

tsdarkside:
you cant just film people....

that guy is an idioot....

i suspect an ibo idiiott....

MosakuAW:
Naija Politicians!

Just see how humbled he was @the beginning of the video, he even asked the guy to take a seat till the woman gave him a little power to ginger his shouting.

You can never see them eat in a public spaces in Nigeria just like he did in the video. In naija with tax payers money, you will see 2 to 5 security personnel surround him. May God continue to shame them one by one.

Awon agbaya oniranu jati jati.

To say the truth, the guy recording him is a real trouble maker, what he dare not do in Naija, he shall what to prove to Aregbesola that, he has no power over him right there in the US
