Lolz! So who the hell cares? By the way, the Punch article really isn't tangible enough. Where's the main source? |

Nope the Nigerian Government will only be dignifying Oprah by reacting to what she says, she is a nobody. Nigerians in US should ridicle her on the internet using what they know of her, It could be anything |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by omoge(f): 3:22pm On Jul 26, 2007 |
i don't blame Oprah. like Militia said, it might be a trap. she might have more and only waiting for the best time to air it all. yes the statement is damaging. next time someone ask where are you from, tell the person you're from west africa. |

Well, this is how Oprah makes her $1.5 billion. |

My2cents, thank u very much for ur contribution. I knew Oprah couldn't have made such a sweeping statement cuz it smacks of stupidity. There's no link or whatsoever showing when she actually made the statement. I believe Vitalis who sent the letter to The Punch newspaper got his quote all messed up. Militia, if u think all Nigerians got the bug for corruption, I dare to tell u that u are own ur own. I definitely know that I'm not corrupt and will never be. |

maki: Could it be that all the blacks in America and South Africa migrated from Igbo? Today, I have come to believe they are truly the Jews who scattered everywhere in the world. This could be a prophetic comment made unknowingly. |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by denex: 3:30pm On Jul 26, 2007 |
I think this calls for a boycott of all HARPO Products. These people don't hear complaints all they hear is cuts in their profits. No matter how small. |

Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by ne4real(f): 3:35pm On Jul 26, 2007 |
why should Oprah make such a comment about Nigerians? Afterall, the USA has a higher crime rate than Nigeria So what is talking about? She also has a bad crime record. Why wont she condemn herself first? nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh |

well guess what all: OPRAH IS OF NIGERIAN HERITAGE!!! |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by mrmetoo(m): 3:38pm On Jul 26, 2007 |
I still don't want to believe she made that statement because that would be grossly irresponsible of her. Just because she has the power to reach out to people does not give her the right to yarn opax. Its hard enough being Nigerian now (or rather its hard telling ppl u r Nigerian) when trying to do business with foreigners, only for her to go and make a statement like that. Some of her ppl don't even like her and I couldn't understand the reason but if this is the kind of statements she makes, generalising like that, then I think I can now understand the reason. As I said earlier I still don't want to believe until further notice |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by denex: 3:39pm On Jul 26, 2007 |
MILITIA, You really don't know much. |

Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by Xris74: 3:43pm On Jul 26, 2007 |
All Nigerians including educated ones are corrupt? So what are the myriad of apparently incorrupt Nigerian professionals in the US (Achebe and co) doing? Won't they sue the hell out of Winfrey's idiotic arse and mouth? This is stupid, plain stupid |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by MILITIA(f): 3:47pm On Jul 26, 2007 |

Na wah for Naija pippo oh!!!! |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by ebos(m): 3:52pm On Jul 26, 2007 |
Though, Oprah was wrong to have made such unguided statement. But the way I’m seeing Nigerians reacting to Oprah’s statement, If it could be possible to lay hands and detonate bombs on her, men, guess what Nigerians would do. It’s like she has awaken sleeping lions. |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by denex: 3:52pm On Jul 26, 2007 |
I wasn't insulting you MILITIA. I was just letting you know. There are clothes of Oprah's design in Nigerian sports shops and boutiques. |

Whether its true or not, i have always had my serious doubts about Oprah Winfrey. Lucky thing her great grand father was taken during the slave trade, i suspect she would have been from , lol |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by akpana(f): 3:57pm On Jul 26, 2007 |
