Nkechi Blessing, a Nollywood actress, has strongly warned the public not to covertly record her and her partner while they are out.
The actress clarified in a video statement that despite being well-known, she would rather not discuss her present relationship on social media or in public.
She described a recent occurrence at a restaurant where she and her partner were allegedly filmed without their permission by a woman.
Nkechi claims that once a waitress informed her of the circumstance, she went over to the woman and gently asked her to stop filming.
She made it clear that although she is amenable to people asking for pictures or films directly, she considers covert recordings to be impolite, particularly since her boyfriend does not want to be highlighted on the internet.
The actress warned that anyone who surreptitiously records her and her partner runs the risk of having their phone damaged, making it apparent that she will not put up with such behaviour in the future.

“Public service announcement. And I really do not want to come off as being rude, arrogant, or proud. I am sure a lot of you remember me saying I am in a very happy relationship now, but I seriously do not want it anywhere on the internet, Instagram, social media in general, because we are enjoying our relationship off the media. And then tell me why last week I was in a restaurant with my man and then There was this lady recording us secretly. One of the waitress called my attention to it. And then I walked up to her And then I said politely, ma’am, I find it very disrespectful of you making videos of I and my man without our consent. It doesn’t make sense. Yes, I am a public figure. I am in your faces. If you wanted a picture or a video, walk up to me. I don’t bite. But you trying to take an unsolicited picture and videos of me and my man, I wouldn’t take that. This is somebody that I don’t want him to be on the Internet. He’s not ashamed to go out with me. So why do you think it is you that is supposed to put our pictures and our videos out there? Now, I am saying this categorically. The next time you see I and my man outside, please keep your phones. Because guess what? I will break it. Can you see how soft I said that? Because I know my man will fight. This man does not want to be out there. Yes. be known does that make sense like he doesn’t want to just be in the news for the wrong reasons and if eventually i want to bring him to the internet i would do so at my own time”
