I can't b'liv that a woman thot to be intelligent and smart wud condemnably generalize in totality the whole inhabitant of a nation. Being a famous talk show host didn't she kno that generalizing without confirmation based on individual examination is literally a mental retardation of intelligence of the highest level!

If indeed she said, ("All Nigerians are corrupt regardless of level," mischievously attributed to Ms. Oprah Winfrey,), wel then it's really sad.

I am Nigerian and i lov being a Nigerian. We do hav faults but hey no one is flawless. Yes some r corrupt, (As u hav in all countries), but not all r.

If u want to hit Oprah up, here is a link. U have to have a myspace id though which sadly is being denied Nigerian these days.

    If oprah really made that statement, then i really doubt her level of intelligence  for thinking that a country of 140 million can have 140 million corrupt people because of what one person did  . Shame on her ive lost all the respect i had for her .

I couldn't care less about what Oprah Winfrey thinks of Nigeria and Nigerians, black or not, this is an American. The same America that gave us ITT and MKO Abiola. Oprah wants to talk about corruption? Let her start by telling us what happened to the millions of Naira (Naira was higher than the dollar then) that Nigeria spent on Telephones that never worked and when accountable government came into place to probe those money, Abiola and his American cohorts always had IBB and his tanks to take over the government. Oprah need to get a life apart from her dogs and Stedman (is he gay?) Americans who are greedy enough to get caught by these 419 folks have no one to blame but themselves for falling for these elementary hooks of money in a case. ITT by Fela needs to be sent to Oprah's myspace so she can educate her self that her own country taught us this 419, screw them all.

I wonder why Oprah Winfrey has not condemned the stealing of $12 billion USA taxpayers' money?

Or is that not Corruption too? Is it Correlation?

I'm still asking anyone to tell me this has not surpassed the height of corruption anywhere in the world.



It is this same half-brained Oprah that opened her one-size-fits-all mouth to tell people to stop eating burger in the USA because of rumours of Mad Cow disease in England.


Sales of beef products plummeted, Texas Cattle Farmers lost millions of dollars which of course they sued her for, and Agricultural Unionists all over the USA condemned her over-sized mouth.



Yet she has started making these types of unfortunate blanket statements again.



Let her say it openly that George Bush and privates Cheney are corrupt and tell American Citizens, Transparency International and the entire world to demand of the US Regime what happened to $12 billion Cash that was physically transferred from the Federal Reserves in the USA to Iraq by Air and finally disappeared in the custody of PAUL BREMER.

a friend of mine won the US Visa lottery and was given an appointment by the embassy and was mandated to pay over $750.00 for the interview, yet when he got to the embassy they told him that Nigeria has exhausted its chances in the lottery, that the number of slots allocated to nigeria has been used up. . . . . yet they gave him an appointment and collected over $750.00 non refundable from a young struggling nigerian, a significant proportion of which was borrowed.
now if that is not 419, can oprah and her blinded cerebral supporters tell me what it is? Angry

let me explain further, a very poor guy was made to borrow more money to give to a very rich country in exchange for dissappointment, increased debt, elongated poverty, anguish and self pity. while the rich country gets $750.00 richer. nobody mentions this kind of thing in the news. but i tell you, this is the real duping b/c someone can commit suicide for this.

uuum,  Toshman,  Maybe if your friend had read the Form where he got the information to pay 750,  he could have seen where it was written that the fee was non-refundable. That is like the norm here and people are ok or used to it. I am not sure you can blame the people on that but did your friend bother to appeal?? That is how things work here. You are rejected, you appeal and sometimes you get it. I learnt that lesson a good way too. Learnt that there is always a way around some of these walls, you just need to spend time reading to find it and they encourage you to do it by providing you with information

so because that is how the scam has been pulled for ages that means it is not wrong.


Those yahoo boys, they also have a format where they tell their victims the basic amount to deposit. Does it make anything right?

Why don't you be the one Nigerian to show her that she may be wrong about her perception of all nigerians @9jaeva. instead of assuming she is mad, maybe you should just go prove to her that she is wrong.

She has enough problems in her hands now. There is a serious case of abuse and molestation in her School in South Africa. That should keep her busy and less time for her make up. Heard in grapevine that she's a "work of art" better not seen in the morning. Shes a Halloween Icon.

See above. But instead, add spiteful in your case.
