For me 'cane' hasn't yielded better results than 'words' used by the whites. All the areas we were flogged growing up , the whites tend to be doing much better. Areas like punctuality, hygiene, sincerity, not-stealing, Truthfulness, avoiding unnecessary noise making, avoiding unnecessary begging, orderliness, etc... the whites are performing better than us. Beating makes us see virtues as punishments

No wonder white children keep killing their parents over any disagreement as little as taking their phone away in record number.

Unzerious:
No! Tradition

I would believe it’s a tradition if he had killed it with his bare hands. Unfortunately he used the white man gun. We’re there guns in the days of his ancestors? NO

adams123:
Drop your ego and study the right teachings of Islam so that you can compare and contrast with Christianity

After studying the right teachings of Islam like you pointed out, I realized that extremist Muslims are the true Muslims. Not such Muslims as you. They adhere strictly to Allah’s commands on how to destroy infidels

crazyABO:
Even men we Dey barb 30 to $50 low key

You even dey try sef. Every two weeks with $20, I have my haircut at my Guatemala barbershop . It looks better than your $50 haircut

Is that an unknown Bishop from agbado diocese?

izzou:
[color=royalblue]Please they should quickly criminalise it.

This is my pathway to Japa

Pocohantas go borrow me skirts. Ishilove go borrow me blouse. GloriousGbola go give me him safety boots

I go wear am pass Alagbon. Dem go arrest me. I go quickly go Twitter go tag LGBTQRBHHFHFUTALPB community

Asylum, here I come

[/color]

What stopped you from japaing ever since? Has gay behavior never been criminalized before? Even though enforcing the law is their problem

How does this emotionally depressing photos restore faith in humanity? All the photos scream desperation and hopelessness for supposedly leaders of tomorrow

Alajiki:
It was plain stupid and wrong for the guy to have recorded him without his permission. And asking him "...are you Aregbesola..." is disrespectful. You already know who he is, why ask that? Many of you support what you cannot take forming wannabe American "I know my right". If Aregbesola had smashed that phone, he would have been right, even in America.

Even with this evidence, Aregbesola can sue him.

Whether it was stupid and wrong is one thing and whether is legal is another thing. The thing is, the recording is not illegal in America in as much as the guy was not in aregbe’s personal space or in his face

tsdarkside:
what do you mean you can....??

you think i will allow you to film me even in america....??

be happy when i no slapp you....

I will be happy to be slapped and cash out big. You don’t put your hands on someone in America without paying since I didn’t put my hands on you

assholemods:
He his....let him come to Houston and try that A lot of people have being shot at Sunny side because of that.

That still doesn’t make recording illegal whether people were shot or not in as much I’m not in your personal space . The shooter too has a law that will throw his behind in jail for life

zedegit:
If the law in America was that he could record anyone he saw why didn't he stand up to it then?

There was a time C Ronaldo was walking after a bad match a Yeye fan was bringing his camera close. C Ronaldo simply stumped on it and walked away.

You think he didn't know the law?

What an opportunity to milk C Ronaldo. I’m sure that didn’t happen in America. That’s why American law is different because he would be sued to cash out. If it happened in America, C Ronaldo would pay hundreds of thousands dollars.

I’m very sure lawyers took advantage of that for the boy and C Ronaldo settled him behind closed door

wirinet:
As an American, are you insinuating that you can heckle me, invade my private space and disturb my peace and the police wouldn't do anything? Will a private business (the restaurant) allow one of their customers to be harrased and their security won't be able to throw the offending party out because the person broke no laws?

Of course the guy doing the recording was too much in aregbe’s face and that’s the only problem there. He could have recorded him like 8 feet away and that wouldn’t have been any problem whether the minister liked it or not as much as the guy doesn’t touch him. He was obviously in his personal space.

1stGenAmerican:
I’m not going to debate about the laws that I studied and received a license to practice.

Public figures get recorded everyday. That’s why paparazzi do their job. What law prohibits them?

bekpo:
The idiot is a big fool. That u r in America, does that gives u d audacity to record someone without his consent? Even when he blatantly told u he's declind u recording him? People r just being stupid. Aregbesola should just press charges against d idiot.
Where ur right stops, someone elses right begins. Ur right isn't absolutes. U don't exercise ur right 2 d violation of mother's rights. This is really insane.

Yes he can record him without his consent in as much as he’s not in your space. You have the choice to walk away

1stGenAmerican:
He is a minister in Nigeria.

Then he’s over there in America on diplomatic passport. He got his visa at American embassy with special privilege. He’s a public figure wherever he goes. He can be recorded. The only problem is that the guy doing the recording was too much in his face. He could have done that like 8 feet away

1stGenAmerican:
The politician in the video didn’t travel on a diplomatic passport.

A former governor and a minister of the federal republic of Nigeria. Is he not a minister? They all have diplomatic passport to travel with, with special visa privilege at the embassy . Even ex governors have it

1stGenAmerican:
He isn’t considered a public figure in America. He’s an ordinary tourist, a guest, an everyday person. Public and private figures can be recorded without permission in public.

Which tourist travels on diplomatic passport?

[quote author=alluson post=114812643][/quote]Sorry to tell you that it’s not wrong in America if you are a public figure.

obailala:
I think the guy recording is just being stupid. If a stranger just comes and starts following me around and recording me closely with my camera, I believe I have the right to even smash his phone for invading my privacy and threatening my life.

First of all, remember that nobody knows you. You are not a public figure. Aregbe is a public figure in public space. In America, he can be recorded. The only problem I have with the guy recording is that he’s too close. He could do that 8 feet’s away with no problem

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

If only Nigerians have the guts to do the same and you stop kissing politicians shoes, Nigeria would be a better place.

Felimax:
Ok, calm down! I like people who believes they know too much.

Let's get civil and demonstrate how we are affected by that man's action. Trust me, I don't give a muscle over you guys in diaspora, I perfectly know that a handful of you are nothing different from the perfect definition of stupidity plus you only help demonstrate how much of a perfect example you are.

You want to get dirty? Do that as a matter of urgency, I have the laundry waiting.

You sound like a politician worshipper. People don’t worship politicians in America. The guy did what any American has the right to do. Except that he was too close

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

Did he come into his house to record? He met him in public space, aregbe is a public figure. He can be recorded. No public officer in America would be able to stop the guy. They would simply walk away. God bless America

Felimax:
Some Nigerians in diaspora are just plain stupid. The man from the video was not constituting any nuisance so why the video?

Yes, it's America a free country but I will smash your phone then we end it in court. Fool!

You will smash his phone? Did he touch you? If no, then be ready to pay in court

3seriez:
Let me educate you and the other poster, so that next time you don't go disgracing yourself like this. Google and research is not that hard, but y'all choose to use sentiment and hearsay.

Anyone who bears Abba-aji anywhere is 100% most likely a shuwa-Arab from Borno state. Shuwa Arabs are 99.9% Muslims. They can also be found in parts of Niger, Chad & Mali.
This particular one is even a younger brother to a former senator from Borno.

He's a Christian indeed. I hope you have learnt something today. Take your L and run back into your hole quietly.

Celebrate the man and his achievements. Leave his faith & Carry your bigotry elsewhere.

He may be from a Muslim family generation. He himself is not a Muslim. Which Muslim answers Adam or Abraham as his first name? Not Adamu or Ibrahim. None

3seriez:
Point or tag to any abba-aji that is Christian. I dare you, since you gave examples. I will pay you 10k , drop your account. Since you're still insisting.

He’s a Christian man from borno. He’s not your typical head slamming northerners. His first name is Adam

This is not just a northerner. He’s a northern Christian. That’s what makes the difference in him amongst other northerners. His first name is Adam

okuta007:
racism never slap you thoroughly with "you have an accent, where are you from originally" flying kick as jara

While Nigeria, I was not loved by everyone. There were people that hated me and people that like me. How is that experience different from racism? It’s even worse since it’s coming from your own people

redcliff:
Your case is a rare and a lost one. Your last point confirmed it.

If you think I’m the only one with that mindset. Then you are wrong. Nigerians that choose to stay back with their grown children abroad after they have retired are more than those that come back because they need good medical care in their old age that they cannot get in Nigeria.

Also they need their children that will never follow them around them. They won’t come back to Nigeria so they can die of loneliness because at this time, no extended family member would give a damn about them since they no more have money to throw around as they used to. You only know about the returnees.

redcliff:
You are quick to ridicule your country after time when you mature and get older you will realize that
1: you miss home than anyother thing
2. You wish you could change things back home rather than in another man's land
3. You will learn fast that you are not welcomed there and you will face racism even from your fellow blacks
4. You will miss the food
5. You will get depressed, then you will know why whites commit suicide alot more even in abundance
6. You will be the one even knowing more of the happenings back home than even Nigerians at home because you wish the country was better. Not necessarily because you want to move back but because you are very concerned.
7. If you ever stumbled on this thread in the future, you will then laugh your arse out and think of how naïve you were.

Not everybody is meant to travel. Have you ever seen any country in the world that all their citizens travelled and left the country empty for a selected few?

Everything you put up here is not true.

1: Since I moved to the US, I never missed Nigeria or anyone except my parents.
2: I don’t wish I could change anything in Nigeria anymore because time waits for nobody. Enjoy your life now and stop worrying about a country you have no power to change due to corrupt politicians. Nigeria will better. So they say since I was born. We are all getting close to old age everyday
3: I feel welcome. You will only feel unwelcome if you are mixing with the wrong people
4: I eat most of the food I used to eat in Nigeria because we have African stores here. So I don’t miss the food
5: The greatest depression comes from living in a country like Nigeria. You are even depressed right now living in Nigeria but you don’t know it. You will know not until you come here.
6: I’m not part of such people. I don’t follow Nigerian news or politics more than I follow the ones in my new country
7: I’m at a point of no return to Nigeria. Why do you think this trend will matter to me? Of course it won’t

FalseProphet1:
Now that this news has entered Nairaland, I see hungry Nairalanders lining up to donate their sperm for the 150k, I see them donating every single drop of sperm in their pénis. I see the number of barren women increasing cos a large number of males would end up with low sperm count after emptying their pénis.

I see Nigerians population reducing drastically.

This I have seen.

Hello false prophet. Dear prophet of doom. I’m not a prophet but for this one , I think you see well for the most part
