THE AMAKA:

oh sharap!!

why are people like you never satisfied?
why the hatin?

why cant you be happy now, or are you just WAITING for tomorrow?
get a grip on yourself.

  are you okay? so because i was thrown a banana, i should limp and hump like a monkey? you better look for something worth it to be satisfied with and not because one "politician-celebrity" woman said something about someone you like.


OgidiBoy:

If you have a problem with Oprah, find her email address and complain to her. This thread is about my girl Gene, show some respect or join the haters club I'm sure omar22 will love to have you.


If by any chance you need to kill yourself too, let us know.
  i hope you are old enough to reason like a normal human being, whatever i said is my opinion, if your brain can't digest that, you better go fill up the blanks in your brain. and who said someone is dying here? yes, i have a problem with Oprah because she talks about other nationalities as if they are not humans.

OgidiBoy:

That's an insulting to people that hang themselves, what about he cuts his wrist and slowly bleed to dead with all that hate in him.

LWKM!!! I go die oooo. grin grin Genevieve!!! I hail thee abeg. See effect. This is the same reaction her name gets on EVERY naija website or blog anytime her name is mentioned. If you want to start an argument or war, just write a story about her. That chic is an automatic web traffic puller.   grin grin For those who want to play down this girl's fame, come on, give it up. Like I said earlier, Oprah was right on the money. Which actor/actress in the whole of AFRICA can you mention is more popular than Genevieve IN AFRICA? I'm talking about from the grassroots to the elites. Someone whom whenever her name is mentioned , brings about both good and bad reactions. This girl is LOVED by many and HATED by many. No other African actor has that kind of effect on people. Even Charlize Theron from SA that won an Oscar (bless her heart, I love her to death) IS NOT more famous than Genevieve is IN AFRICA!. Go to the most remote places in Africa and ask them who Charlize Theron is and they will ask you if that is a kind of fruit. It's not beans. wink

We get it, Oprah is not God, but that's not the point. The point is Genevieve was recognized and it is a BIG DEAL whether you want to believe it or not.  If we didn't think so, then we wouldn't be so angry when Oprah made those comments about Naija. People make derogatory comments about Naija all the time but why did Oprahs's comment get to us more? Because we know her stance in the society, the kind of weight her show pulls and the impending effect it had/may have had on our image. So lets all stop deceiving ourselves when understanding the kind of impact her show will/may have on Genevieve. A lot of entertainers here in the US will give their arms and legs to be on Oprah NOT because of Oprah herself, but because her show is the greatest avenue to advertise themselves and their services to the world. The exposure on that show for entertainers is unparalleled. That is WORD!

erm the name Djimon Hounsou sounds familiar to you

he was even invited on the Oprah Show after his performance in AMISTAD (Not to butter up the Naija people) but to talk about how he grew up from the Streets of Cotonou to the streets of Paris to the US and how Spielberg gave him the chance to star in the Blockbuster movie,

Then you didnt see the people of Rep of Benin wetting their beds

@Kech

Look I have no problem with Genevieve, she is a good actress (not my favourite) but that’s not the issue here, Oprah inviting her over to her show has its motive and its got nothing to do with Genevieve achievement, it’s a PR STUNT, she is using it to butter up the Nigerian citizens. Rich people in power do outrageous things just to repair their image most especially if the word “SORRY” feels too heavy to say.

Djimon Honsou is a bigger star than Genevieve, works in a bigger industry and is obviously richer than her BUT he is not more popular than Genevieve in Africa. That you are a high profile celebrity doesn't make you more popular. Go around Nigeria alone and ask them who is Djimon Honsou. I am sure that Genevieve is more popular than him in his own country.

WOW!!  She could have started with AN APOLOGY

Oprah should apologise to Nigerians for what? You people and the bubble wraps you live in.cheesy
In as much as I disgree with Oprah for generalising Nigerians a few years ago, what she said is not very far from the truth. We did that to ourselves and if foreigners call us out on our actions, we deserve it. Have we even started by apologising to ourselves as Nigerians and seeking the best ways forward? NO! And we expect foreigners to respect and apologise to us for calling it out as it is. Absolute tosh.
Its disgusting the way I get treated differently at airports because of my green passport. Asked to step aside, take off my shoes etc. I can only be mad at myself and my country, not at the immigration officials who have learned a thing or two from crooked Nigerians.

Meanwhile, people saying its not a big deal, get frigging real.
How many Nigerian films make it to film festivals (Venice, Berlin, Edinburgh, Cannes etc)? Few. When they do make it to festivals and are viewed on the international scene, that film is almost guaranteed instant success and acclaim. Whether some of you like to admit it or not - once a person achieves succes in America then you're as good as made. There are many ways for one to achieve succes in America and one of them is through Oprah (if you doubt me, ask Obama). The woman just has to breathe your name and you're on your way to the top. And some of you are asking if its a big effing deal.
Genny is about to become even more famous, deal with it. undecided

Djimon Honsou grew up in Cotonou and Paris and he went on to make it in hollywood (at least, courtesy of the oscar nomination) but that doesn't make him more popular than Genevieve in AFRICA. Genny is not a hollywood star, she hasn't acted in any hollywood production which makes your basis for comparism very poor. Besides, Djimon will not be the first and only star to come from Africa and other countries and make it in American entertainment. There's Sophie Okonedo, Boris Kojoe, Charlize Theron, Seal etc. Even Kimora Lee, his partner is a shining example of someone that hit it big in American entertainment.

So you accept that you are a Crook? as Oprah perfectly put it,  So someone called you a thief, and what do you do! Yes I am a thief!!! Am sorry may be in your own world you could let people like Oprah look down their nose at you, but am sorry am not in that category (its people you Fela sing about) do you honestly belief Oprah would go as far as making a sweeping statement about the Indians in such way? NO because she would feel the impact immediately, but Nigeria! No why because it’s in the DNA,  She insulted the whole nation, and then invited one of the nations “silver jewel” to sit with her, that sound like a hypocrite to me….

No, I'm not accepting that I'm a thief or a crook but I have accepted that a lot of my fellow citizens are big thieves, liars and crooks. Am I different from them? Yes. Are outsiders going to tar me with the same paint brush? Yes. How do I (and other good, innocent citizens) deal with this?
The latter is a question you should concern yourself with, omar, not Oprah's apology or lack of it. Besides, it is not just Oprah that thinks Nigerians are crooks. Are you demanding an apology from the rest of the world too? Oh wait, its because Oprah's rich and famous, huh?

I thought that recognition was supposed to be - WORLD's famous
not Africa. I bet you 98% of the audience at Oprah that day has never
heard that name Genevieve. I don't have anything against Genee but
I can bet this stuff is nothing but SCAM!
Re: Genevieve Nnaji On Oprah by mecussey(m): 12:53pm On Sep 30, 2009
I can't believe what this world is upto, she was a girl I know right from Akwakuma girls Sec school when she got pregnant, gave  birth to a  BBG and dropped out of school, lol. Look at her now; it is a very good lesson to those who think it's the end of the world. Life is a teacher, never give up; she is great woman, Go Genny.

Anyway, for your education:

We are complaining about the negative effect of District 9


So ok to complain about District 9 for presenting a bad image to the world, but suck up to Oprah because of her wealth or she managed to invite a Nollywood star to her sofa, when are you going to past her Wealth,

@spikedcylinder you call Nigeria anything you want, and stand by it! its like me calling you a theif and I still invite you into my house, I believe something is wrong there. I couldnt careless where Genevieve comes from or where she goes! the sky is the limit, but for Nigerians start wetting their beds because Oprah invited her to sit on her sofa then it shows how shallow minded some are.

OMG!! some of you are some haters for real!!
so what if Oprah mentioned her name.
she was mentioning some of the most world famous people.
or do you want her to put a ban on talking about Nigerians, so the whole slew of you wont start running your mouths?
Oprah mentioned Genevieve as being world famous.
so what? why are some of you acting like you have a stick up your ass?

before now if it was something else, the same people will be complaining, now its something good, more complaints.
just be happy for the girl!!!!!

just by Oprah mentioning Nollywood, we can then gain more international attention.
this could possibly help bring Nollywood to new heights.

so haters, step off!!

if its somethig about scamming now, will you be proud?

KICK ROCKS, mehn!
