Currently going viral on social media is a video of a Nigerian man expressing his outrage at being barred from a UK gym.
After learning he would no longer be allowed to use the gym, the man was seen confronting the manager in the surveillance footage.
He insisted that his actions were not wrong enough to warrant a ban and charged that the gym had denied him a fundamental human right.
“You cannot break me, you know why? I have God. I serve a living God. You are just denying me my human right here. You’re telling me you can’t serve me for no reason. I’ve done nothing wrong,” he is heard saying.
The woman who was filming the incident made fun of him and questioned his gym ban. She also made it seem like the gym wasn’t the first to forbid him.
“So you’re also prohibited at Pure Gym? With a strong Nigerian accent, she said, “That means there’s a reason.
She asked him a question that infuriated him, and he gave her the order to leave him alone as he complained to the manager.
He explained that he pays 29 pounds each month for a gym membership and asked why he was told he was no longer permitted to use the gym.
When the woman behind the camera questioned why he was banned once more, he erupted and told her to stop talking.
The frustrated man became aware that the conversation was going nowhere, so he angrily picked up his bags and left the facility.

9jawoman: If you find it this saddening, imagine how your fellow Nigerians feel when you discriminate against them in their own country cos of tribe. If you are a tribal bigot you have lost the right to complain about racism anywhere in the world cos guess what, what goes around comes around and we all carry same green passport that makes the world treat us like we are some disease. Until we all choose competence over some stupid tribal bigotry, we are not ready to move forward as a nation.
mz_kkc: I’m not disputing racism or any form of downgrading a black man in a white man’s country but I just wish I can see his past record from his previous gym before I can comment with my full chest.
chibie_olusama: Who’s that woman behind the camera ? What’s funny ?
thefoodnetworknig2: If he has done nothing outrightly wrong and that person that is filming him is acting like that… Then that’s a very sick fellow…Not fair at all
