r231: We already knew Oprah wasn’t a big fan of most black folks but we didn’t know she had beef with Jesus too!

Oprah’s cousin Jo Baldwin is speaking out about how her rich cuzzo fired her for loving Jesus and the terrible way Harpo treats her own family…

Shortly after Oprah Winfrey became a national sensation she hired her first cousin Jo Baldwin to be her speechwriter. Later she promoted Baldwin to VP of her company Harpo Inc.

“When I received my PhD in 1985 from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Oprah asked me where I was going to work,” said Jo Baldwin in the summer of 2010. “I said I would be applying for a position at Ebony magazine as a copy editor. Oprah said she did not like Linda Johnson Rice [owner of Ebony] and I should come to work for her instead. So I did.”

“I was to work for her for three years, but she fired me without notice after two years… I heard from someone later that she got rid of me because she got tired of me talking about Jesus all the time… Oprah preferred the teachings of Shirley MacLaine’s books, such as Dancing in the Light and Out on a Limb, which Oprah made me read but I didn’t think much of.”

Baldwin isn’t the only relative who has been put off by her famous family member. The common consensus among Winfrey’s clan is that Harpo don’t love them!

The power of Oprah’s vast wealth makes most of her relatives quake. They want to be part of the luxurious life that she offers on occasion (her lavish Christmas presents, her birthday checks, even her hand-me-downs) but they chafe at the way she has dismissed them since becoming famous and they know that she does not cherish them as family. She prefers instead her celebrity friends. Oprah holds Maya Angelou as the mother she should’ve had; she sees Sidney Poitier as her father, Quincy Jones as her uncle, and Gayle King as her beloved sister.

Jo Baldwin became estranged from her famous relative who continues to put distance between herself and her blood relations. Oprah will not give her mother, Vernita Lee, her personal phone number. If her mother needs to call Oprah, she must call the studio and talk to Oprah’s producers.

‘”The family is tangled with so many secrets and so much fear,” said Baldwin. “I admit I was afraid of Oprah for 20 years. Absolutely terrified. She’s powerful and dangerous. She told me if I ever opened my mouth [about what I know] she’d sue my pants off.”

“Mainly, Oprah wanted to shame me for being a follower of Jesus as if to say, ‘What is He doing for you that’s so great?’ Oprah inflicts emotional wounds that could lead to physical illness, if they aren’t healed. My faith has kept me from getting sick [over her].”

Oprah ain’t got no love for Jesus Or her own family That’s a damn shame!

subterfuge: Papabrowne the the Jonathan asshole licker!!
Instead of addressing the corruption issues in Power sector as a whole you continue to defend your stupidity/ignorance. How I wish we were living in CHINA so your corrupt head will be sawed off, then you would continue preaching you MEGAWAtT theory in HELL fire.

Gamji007: O.K grand pa! Can you please tell us the justice that was done to the victims of ND millitancy when amnesty was granted to the millitants?

Can you also please advice on a possible solution to boko haram crisis?

subterfuge: Dederocks or whatever insane name you call yourself Boko Haram know all about you !!! You will be the next Target mr solution.

Ngwakwe: If democracy is the government of, by and for the people, I see no reason why the President shouldn't try to reconcile his decisions with that of majority opinion.

Remember, he is a politician and is still eyeing for a second term mandate from the same people he refuses their opinions.

Even God in the bible ask humans to come and reason with him, and in another verse God said, present your strong reasons.

My conclusion is, apart from the portion I deleted from your text, GEJ or any leader in a democratic setting should not be autocratic rather a listening leader.

ba7man: @OP. Your question simplifies the whole situation. Sadly our Government would rather bribe their way out of a problem than solve it. At this rate, they've justified the creation of more killer groups that will use innocent lives to bargain for their share of the national cake.

subterfuge: please stop asking foolish questions.
Have you been able to rid Nigeria of these said killers/terrorists
If you have the perfect solution to the problem, please bring it up elsh shut your filthy ,infected gut!!!!!!
I wish you are the next boko haram , then you will be talking from HELL!!!
