@ All i think we shld just drop this Oprah thingy. The poster has actually done a good job in winding us up. For this issue to have a logical end, we would prefer the quote to be pasted on this thread and not some lousy links. enuff joo |

Please lets end this thread about oprah, it is becoming unpleasant, I was so shocked when i saw this thread, Opah has always being my mentor, when i heard about this, i found it hard to believe that oprah could say a thing like that, I have been watching Oprah for quite some time now and i have never seen a time she would generalize a nation and insult them, She loves Africa.she has done alot for Africa! of course that's her root. Even in America, there re violators who rape and abuse their kids, this same oprah exposes them to limelight so that people will be careful of such criminals, So why will she want to destroy nigeria's image I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY PROOF THAT SHE SAID IT, THE NEWSPAPERS WILL PUT THAT HEADLINE JUST TO SELL THEIR PAPERS BECOS THEY KNOW IT WILL ATTRACT NIGERIANS ESPECIALLY WITH A NAME LIKE OPRAH IF ANYONE HAS PROOF LIKE A VIDEO WHERE SHE SAID IT, LET HIM OR HER PUT IT IN "YOUTUBE".I THINK THAT WILL CLEAR THE AIR, NOT THAT AM DEFENDING HER BUT THE TRUTH NEED BE TOLD, ITS NOT AS IF 100% OF NIGERIANS ARE SAINT. BUT OUR IMAGE HAS BEEN DESTROYED FAR TOO MUCH, LETS JOIN FORCES TO REPAIR THIS IMAGE INSTEAD OF ANALYSING WAT WE THINK OPRAH SAID |

The fact that some Nigerians have actually given our dear country away as a currupt nation can not be over emphasised,that is not the reason why some one who is supposed to protect the interest of a black nation where lies her root, will now make such outreagious statement. Haba she chop witch?? someone should tell her that every type of corruption that ever exited on the face of this earth originated from them the Americans and that she should not generalize such hidious statement or I call for her HEAD!!!!! |

Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by Nobody: 5:07pm On Jul 31, 2007 |
its so amazing that such a woman as oprahs caliber could make such a statement. considering the fact that she is black who knows where are ancestors are from, she could even have been from Nigeria for all i care. I am really disappointed in her. The fact that we have some bad eggs doesnt make us all bad. and she cant say that america has not had its own share of corruption. I am sure she know what happened btw jefferson and the Nigerian govt |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by papabaks(m): 5:17pm On Jul 31, 2007 |

@dimka why didn't you post any of those millions of scam letters of US origin that are blowing up your mailbox. Just check I'm sure you'll find one Jury selection Fraud Telemarketing scams Health Insurance scams Travel and Holiday scam letters Penis Enlargement scam mails View Webcam Stocks/Shares Scam Home Delivery scam Invented Gadget Scam College Scholarship Scam Investment Opportunity scam Counterfeit Prescription Drugs Funeral and Cemetery Fraud Fraudulent Anti-Aging Products Business Franchise Fraud Internet Auction Fraud Visa Lottery Fraud Poetry Competition Scam. Non-Delivery of Merchandise Mortgage scams Debt Cancellation scam letters. You didn't see any? Check your bulk mail too. The fact that we are too smart to fall for their scams don't mean they are not trying to scam us. Compare the amount of scam letters in your box that originate from Americans to those that emanate from Nigerians. So they are the ones who try to scam the more. The fact that they hardly succeed doesn't make them innocent. Negroponte and his gang are pulling a scam of N18,000,000,000 with the OPLC scam format and nobody is complaining. |

Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by grafikdon: 7:36pm On Jul 31, 2007 |
denex: Bwahahahahaha! This has just made my day! I am glad someone finally pointed at what I have been screaming for ages! There's a full fledged attention on Nigeria which is so intense that we all forgot about the major scams. Denex, you forgot to mention calling card scam! Work from home scam (very laughable but they never stop coming) paypal 'phishing' scam. . . ebay 'phishing' scam. . . they are everywhere but you NEVER see anyone mention it. . .but when countryman do im own. . . |

@Denx and Seun Let me give you an example of what the white bastards from Spain tried doing to me. Precisely two years back, i tried using a friend in Birmingham to help in buying fones from ebay to resell in Nigeria. I actually made purcahses of 1,000 GBP sometimes in 2005. Due to the nature of the transactions i chose not to use my friend in UK. This i decided after the seller told me he will ship the fones to me in Nigeria and all i need to do is use an escrow account. I knew about escrow very well and i knew my fone would be safe if i did it with escrow. I was meant to transfer the money through my dom account to the escrow verified account and then escrow wont pay them untill i have the goods. days after, i got a mail that i should wire the money through western union to one bank account in spain. They claimed its an escrow account and they told me to send a mail immediately after the transaction to goods@escrow-europa.com. I initially thought it was an escrow account truly. But, the Nigerian in me made me open escrow europa website and i checked the terms associated with transactions. Escrow advises strongly never to send any amount via western union or any other related stuffs like that. I sent a mail to escrow and asked them about the transaction and email given to me. They told me such mails never originated from escrow. I sent a mail to the mugus and i told them i wired the money and that who can i speak to. Immediately, they replied and said i shoudl give them 48hours before goods will be dispatched and they also gave a number. I called immediately and started causing the person in yoruba. The fone went dead and immediately i replied their mail saying i'm much more smarter than them.And that was it. Oyinbos too are thieves and the master of all fraudulent activities. they actually taught our boyz |

Holla!!! When next you see Oprah, tell her to come lick my ass. She's tipsy |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by maverick1(m): 2:19pm On Aug 01, 2007 |
By the way, as from today henceforth, i have beef with Oprah |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by maverick1(m): 2:22pm On Aug 01, 2007 |
Tell her not to cross my path because i will kick her. I hate her. How can she say such a thing about my favourite country in the world. Anyone who beefs Nigeria beefs me. When you beef me, u're in for some deep shit Oprah, i hope u read this by some crazy miracle: Bleep you over and over again. |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by adrian5(m): 5:41pm On Aug 01, 2007 |
It's rather harsh a statement. She ought to apologize!! But on the flip side, majority of us have the tendency to be a "sharp" which is akin to corruption right ?. Afterall yahozee is the most popular track and it certainly ain't about be honest, |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by Richardsop(m): 6:32pm On Aug 01, 2007 |
Nigerians are the sharpest qand most intelligent people on the planet earth. nigerians are not corrupt. the are just playing games. |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by texazzpete(m): 7:38pm On Aug 01, 2007 |
the only thing i've gleaned so far is that many ppl here don't have the faintest idea how to participate in a discussion forum. It's been showed pages ago that the article is a friggin user-submitted article in the Punch, that it has no basis and in fact it's downright untrue. Yet we see people busting in here and dissing Oprah for no good reason. Even worse, some people are here expressing tacit support for crime originating from Nigeria. Weird maverick1: maverick1: What's a dumbo like you getting all worked up for? Did you see any evidence she said that before you started spouting insults? It isn't so hard to read, is it? And truly, if she reads this, she'll laugh at your insignificant threats. When you stop playing at being tough, calm down and let you brains kick in. |

Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by shango(m): 5:37am On Aug 02, 2007 |
can you name one Nigerian Multi Millionaire, just one, that made his money without doing wayo? Just one. At least Oprah did not do any fraud to make here millions. Noone can say the same for any Nigerian multimillionaire. |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by denex: 6:23am On Aug 02, 2007 |
@shango all those crocodile tears that Oprah is using in her media marketing is what? Dangote did not play me wayo in order to sell his salt, sugar, rice, cement or juice to me. |

Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by abiegirl: 10:33am On Aug 02, 2007 |
It's unfortunate that an 'educated' person is making such generalized comments. She has never even been in Nigeria and its not as if there are no corrupt people in America either. Its a shame that Oprah would say such, she should be sued. |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by seuniyanda: 11:42am On Aug 02, 2007 |

Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by sage(m): 8:56pm On Aug 02, 2007 |
Just shows how pathetic this thread is Is it not ironic that the same people who are crying for Oprah's head for generalisation turn around and say that ALL those who are scammed are because they are lazy ? |
Re: 'All Nigerians Are Corrupt', Says Oprah Winfrey by sage(m): 8:58pm On Aug 02, 2007 |
And those guyz cursing Oprah saying she is a barren witch Watch your words, it might come back and hunt and hurt you When your sister, daughter, cousin or neiece does not have a child, other men would say exactly the same thing about her |
