MILITIA or what, see i 've been reading so much bullshit you keep saying about this country and i want to question your nationality. I dont know how long you ran away from this country but she doesnt deserve your bullshit. In the first place crime is a world wide thing and all that rubish coming from some one whos background smells of filth and sin as you can throughly read from many of these posts is unacceptible. You keep jumping to conclusions any time there is a post concerning Nigeria. My question is simple, TELL ME WHICH PART OF THIS WORLD WHERE THERE IS NO CRIME LET ME GO THERE AND HIDE, EVEN THE SMALLEST CRIME. One hundred and fifty Nigerians can, will never be criminals.

I don't know which show this guy is talking about but i'm a CNN, C-span and oprah show junky. I saw a show on oprah with Brian Ross of ABC news. The show was based on investigation that Mr. Ross conducted in Nigeria about 419. Eventhough the show and the investigation hit Nigeria hard but at the end of the show Oprah said that she was sure that Nigerians would not like the show but she was sure that not every Nigerian is bad ! There was another show on CNN called " HOW TO ROB A BANK ". This one was even harder on Nigeria than Oprah's. They showed so many Nigerians, especially the ones in Houston. They showed how mostly ibo boys are doing all kind of frauds. There was a guy that they found about $500,000 in his house. Money he got through identity card and credit card fraud ! Another one was intercepting checks of big corporations. his name is Osamor. I got the show recorded on my Tivo ! And to be honest, working in law enforcement i really hate what i see among Nigerians in the USA ! I've seen arrest report and criminal record of many Nigerians that am ashamed sometimes. Just yesterday, there was a Ngerian in Kansa city, Mo. that threatened to start shooting people unless they deposit $50,000 into his account ! Can you imagine that. His stupid butt is in jail now cooling off. To Nigerians abroad, especially the ones in USA and Europe, if you don't like Nigeria's image abroad start turning this crooks to the authorities !
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by ozoneflake(m): 8:18pm On Jul 26, 2007
I dont care about what the slut says but what you a quetionable Nigerian say. To hell with all the rubish who cares if you live in hell or heaven thats your cup of tea. For all i know am well off here and like it too. You refused to answer my question, TELL ME WHICH PART OF THE WORLD THAT IS WITHOUT CRIME, I WILL GO THERE AND HIDE. One hundred and fifty Nigerians can, will never be criminals. Get that stright into that thick skull you call head.
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by Jakumo(m): 8:19pm On Jul 26, 2007
Sho y'right,  MILITIA.    Now there is someone who flat REFUSES to tolerate crap from anyone.    

The crap in this instance being of course that predictable knee-jerk defensive posture taken by those hard-core patriotic Nigerian respondents to this thread who choose to play ostrich and bury their heads in the sand about Nigeria's sordid international image, whilst shrieking amusing insults and impotent protestations at Oprah Winfrey for using her hidden cameras to remind the world of just how low Nigerian officials will stoop to make a dishonest buck.

Take no prisoners, Militia.    Whack 'em over the head with reality until they retreat whimpering in disarray to lick their wounds and wonder what in the world hit them.  

The Giant of Africa has no clothes on, y'all.  He is butt naked and running amok in the marketplace, propositioning fleeing goats while being secretly video-taped for yet another upcoming expose by the woman we so love to hate, but who doesn't happen to give a rat's ass what the phuck we think, OPRAH KOINENGE WINFREY.   Oh yeah, I forgot to mention.    They got married, so we can now make a national pastime of insulting Oprah and Jeff as the couple that holds the dubious honor of being blamed as the primary cause of all that is wrong with Nigeria.  Oh patriots arise ! !   There is much work to do, even in our inconsequential obscurity.

I had a Nigerian Neighbor one time, we became casual friend untill one day when he accidentally saw my official badge and clip-on. Ever since then, this guy has been seriously avoiding me. Lucky bastard, i had been wondering on what he does for a living anyway. Only God knows, he never talked about a job or business !

You are a clown, These idiots are messing us up !! There are many good Nigerians doing positive things and stacking doughs legally but the actions of the few stains us all ! Nigeria is losing a whole lot of business opportunity and brighter future because of the bad image !
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by Akiika: 8:31pm On Jul 26, 2007
Guys, i still disagree with the assumption that Nigeria is the most corrupt nation in the world, we are just the dumbest nation that can take the vilification. Anyway, to those of you in the state here and UK, when was the last time you heard any good NEWS on the TV, American NEWS is always horrific; bank robbery, murder, child molestation, rape e.t.c. the last two US presidential election was rigged for the incumbent, Scooter Libby, former chief of staff to U.S VP Dick Cheney, recently was indicted of perjury but Mr Bush commuted the prison sentence. Does all these make the US the most heinous world nation? Oprah just chose to be ignorant, she even just fell Mungun for a dubious writer. If all Nigerians are corrupt, then it follows that all Americans are Murderers, Rapists, Gangsters e.t.c 'How to Rob a Bank' on CNN is not a balanced reporting, Asians are worst in ID theft, why were they left out.
I agree that we need to put our house in order, we need to have a responsible govt. and you and i need to be patriotic. I'm sure some Nairalanders are even yahooboys.

Militia you seem to be enjoying urself, you seem to have some response to everything and everyone,but i don't know if u understand that u are actually irritating people in here ,yeah we have many bad ones among us , but surely not all of us, and by the way u are a Nigerian , the fact that u live in the us and have us citizenship doesn't not change what u are , if you want to know the value of ur American citizenship , then when u see ophra , tell her ur from Nigeria and see if she treats u differently.So if you don't have anything positive to help ur country just keep ur peace .
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by luka: 8:33pm On Jul 26, 2007
Militia,shey na evil spirit bring you back. I think you talk sey it's time to leave.

Babyosisi, walahi I never knew you were this funny, na your post wan kill me pass.

Yes they say we are corrupt, I no argue. Philip Emegwali is corrupt (he is a force to reckon with in I.T because he invented spurious products and he acknowledges he is a Nigerian not like some opportunist who got to America and disowned their father and mother)

Hakeem Olajuwon is also corrupt (he broke all the basket ball rules and became one of the greatest basket ball players in US).

I won't get annoyed but I will want Oprah to rephrase her statement to this "Nigerians are the smartest people on earth"

What's the name of the oil company ! I'm familiar with most of these oil and pharmaceutical company. one oil executives ones told me that Nigeria does not appreciate what she has. He said the level of Mis-management has driven good business from Nigeria. If you work in the oil sector, you should know how the expatriates are so scared of doing business in Nigeria !

Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by ozoneflake(m): 8:41pm On Jul 26, 2007
Sweet T Gatchya but one thing is clear that the same country yall agree to represent {USA} has graduated through all sought of crime to this level. Since the days of slavery till this day. What do Nigeria know when it comes to committing hideous crimes against humanity. All those oyibo country are worst. While they used their guns to enslave us they were busy compelling us to use our strenght. When poeple use guns and bombs against defenceless men what do you think of them. o crime is greater than that. Sorry 'OYIBO NIGERIANS' we are happy to miss all you.
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by SweetT1: 8:42pm On Jul 26, 2007
What do you expect from a country where elections are stolen outright in the daylight. Where leaders act like super-humans. Look at the Governors that were just arrested. How could one individual steal that much money?? What? is he looking out for his generations to come?? Nigerians at home and abroad are a whole bunch of disgrace !!! The few rich ones act like they are God. There are corrupt politicians worldwide, but the ones in Nigeria behaves like corrupt monkeys in Agbadas ! How many western leaders steal money from his country and take it to a bank in Africa ??
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by omoge(f): 8:43pm On Jul 26, 2007

America is very corrupt but atleast they do for their own !!! How many times have you seen a corrupt US congressman or Senator recieve illegal campaigne donations and put it in a bank in Africa ?? I was watching the story of Mobutu sese seko last night for 21/2 hours and i almost came to the conclusion that we are no better than a monkey ! This fool robbed that country blind. Just like Abacha, IBB, OBJ e.t.c did.
