Oprah is really crazy to make such a generalisation about nigerians- that they ALL corrupt. Was it not a smilar staement made lightly by Obama about Philidelphians holding onto their guns and bibles , that cost him Philadelpha votes during the primaries in the USA last year? Such flippant statements are poor of her. The mugu who gave the naija man 500,000 dollars may have ua corrupt greedy and lawless American who was looking for easy money as well. We do have a lot of issues about corruption in naija but NOT ALL nigerians are corrupt. A lot of them are honest hard working people. We only have huge problems with leadership mainly because of poor understanding of what nationhood is about in the country and this can be rectified in time. How would she feel if just because of some black american criminals we say in CNN that all black americans are crimininals. She needs to retract the statement and make it up by showing some honest hard working nigerians in her show thus uplifting the image of the black race.

Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by Litmus: 10:50am On Jan 19, 2011
Oprah Winfrey lied about her past:




relationship with John Tesh, a popular media personality and claims that the talk show host paid money to keep her lesbian affairs under wraps, The New York Post reported

The book also claims Oprah, 56, sold her body to earn extra money and has even described herself as a teen "prostitute" while her relatives claimed that a large part of her empire was built on manipulation.

It also stated that Oprah's claims of being very poor and having pet cockroaches are lies. One of her cousins Katherine Carr Esters described her as being slightly "spoilt."

"Where Oprah got that nonsense about growing up in filth and roaches I have no idea," Esters is quoted in the book. "I've confronted her and asked, 'Why do you tell such lies?' Oprah told me, 'That's what people want to hear. The truth is boring'," Esters added.

The book added that the man in Oprah's life, Stedman Graham, was not really her partner but rather a fixture to convince her audience that she was "normal".

"Oprah keeps Stedman around because she wants her audience to accept her as a normal woman with a man in her life, but from what I saw during those four years, I can tell you there's nothing there with Stedman. Nothing at all," James van Sweden, a landscape architect, who spent years working for the couple, said.

The tabloid also quoted Oprah's father, Vernon as saying, "She may be admired by the world, but I know the truth. So does God and so does Oprah. Two of us remain ashamed," Vernon said.



you cant believe anything that Oprah says, she is a lier. This means African Americans are liers. Gosh,Obama is a lier? shocked On the other hand maybe Kitty Kelley is lying and her accusation is just part of the act of publicizing her book. This reminds me that a major part of publicity is pure exaggeration and lies. America is home to the best publicizing machinery in the world, which mean 99% Americans are liers.

I have no idea why you fools dragged up this old topic but your responses say a lot about your intellect.

FACT: Oprah NEVER made this statement. The Punch NEVER carried this story officially. The link in the OP was from a user submitted article on the Punch in which a punch reader claimed he heard Oprah make that statement. It's been proven that she never used those words.

Abeg make una let this topic die down. it is an embarrassing testament to ease with which Nigerians give themselves to knee-jerk reactions without even trying to do some rational thinking.
