Full respect to Oprah, she is putting her money where her mouth is. I believe the school has cost about $40m to establish and I don't think that includes running costs. That is a lot of money. Without knowing the full facts of its establishment and Oprah's thinking behind it I am in no position to criticise Oprah, but I still do wonder if perhaps a less grand project could have been undertaken. This would have allowed more funds to be available for the setting up of more schools as a consequence of which even more less privileged children would benefit from her generosity. I am sure $40m would go a long way to achieve this. What she has done, though commendable, is liking going to a drought stricken country and inviting just 100 people to a banquet with all the trappings. |

she has tried |
Re: Oprah Open School In South Africa! by Reverend(m): 12:42pm On Jan 04, 2007 |
Good on her. You can not expect her to fund the whole of SA education system, She is a private person and not a Government, We need more people like her. Maybe the school is only for 152 girls, but at least the money is not diluted and they will get a 1st class education. For your information, she is to open another school, for 1000 boys and girls, in KwaZulu-Natal at the end of the month. We can only respect her and nobody has any reason to make a criticism |

We have millions of Nigerian Men and women that re richer than Oprah. All they want is to invest outside the country without looking back home. We need a spiritual rebirth in this country. |

"at least, she is better than some stupid Mimics of Jesus Cruxificion who derive pleasure in buying black children in the name of favour. I am not a great fan of Oprah Winfrey, but i give her kudo's for that. |

Nigeria does not have an Iconic figure that is respected by whites and blacks. Nelson Mandela is a person whom most western people would love to be associated with. Celebrities go to his birthday bash every year. Oprah says he is a source of inspiration to her. Most prominent blacks in the US have Mandel's picture in their offices. Denze Washington gives about $100,000 annually to Mandela's foundation. Nigeria does not have a crowd puller , that's why New York Stock Exchange lumped OBJ with some other African Presidents together to ring the opening bell. |
Re: Oprah Open School In South Africa! by 4Play(m): 10:42pm On Jan 05, 2007 |
If she opened the school in Nigeria it will probably make more sense.I dare say Nigerians value education more than South Africans.Our academic zeal is exceptional Besides that,there is a case to be made that we need it more since we are poorer If the essence of the charitable donation was to help poor African children in need,are we not more in need than South Africans? It would have been more sensible to locate the school in Nigeria,preferably my home town of Awka |
